[Two Important Updates on 2011 Land Pricing]

I Would think that this is the only way LL can think of at the moment to continue to keep the total landmass paying for itself when the going was good LL could offer nice discounts but I personally would have looked at keeping none profit untouched by looking more towards getting abandoned land on mainland reused and even offered it free by auto setting it for sale for 0ls so someone could simply buy it and try to limit abandoned land causing fragmentation in a sims potential revenue too many abandoned lands earning LL zero return even up to half a sim or more sits wasted in a full sim for years wheres the logic in that?

[Second Life Economy Stable in Q2 2010]

Nuhai you are 100% correct in your logic and many of us that cashed out causing lindenx to drop are actually sitting back from sticking our invesment cash back the days of leaving a few million linden dolars sitting idle in ones account are over the tap is dripping most didnt want to risk years of hard earning to risk it going down the swanney.  Its true it is much harder to get a good return on your investments nowadays but I simply put this down to the move by linden labs to push SL more to a WEB design format and you know there isnt much need for cash to be floating around inworld when that is fully implemented hence teir problems no cash flow to pay your land shop fees rentals ect end result shop on a boring web page no need for a land prims just 1 magic box and land somwhere with 1 prim free. Even conversations are now entering the web forums and even this blog what exactly is left to do Inworld they seem to be dragging everything out of the virtual world and slapping it on a webpage.  Maybe we can buy webpages off them instead of land that may work in the short term.  Hope things turn around some way now phills back in the driving seat Sl needs to grow at the pace the users create not pushed in the hope of billions of new signups all the old timers in sl can easy contribute to the economy much more than any new signup.  New users are still entering gees there was only 13k users max online at a weekend when I signed up years ago and look at all the hicups it cause when we hit 20k 30k then 40k ect ect could the grid hold fast if suddenly they hit the sweet spot and people flocked to sign up in the masses over a very short period.  Just hope they focus more on inworld buisness hell id even pay a tax on the linden dollar inworld rather than pay commision on Xstreet or even a prim tax on every prim I rezzed or a inventory fee for the data storage depending on size if it helped the world to continue being a place of fun work and amazing enviroment to better ones self than to browse endless webpages.
