No the items are not returned. However, if this is recent the items are likely to be in place until Linden Lab passes it over to a new owner. If there are items you need, start a ticket with Linden Lab requesting the sim to be opened so you can go back in and take your items, if there are a few residents that need to do this, maybe all request it and reference each others ticket number. When and if they open the sim, your unlikely to be tolld so, you just have to keep looking all the time, and when you see it open, get in there quick and save your stuff, I say this from experience. "to bad the lindens are turning more and more into money hungry pleasure deminishing beasts" if it's closed, this would only because the owner hasn't paid their bills, you can't blame Linden Lab for this.

Go to Account on the sidebar on your dashboard, select Transaction History and it will list where the money is going, which is most likely to a group you are in, groups are set up by default for members to pay some costs of that group, which is divdied up by it's members, if you dont think you should be paying for this talk to the group owner or just leave.

You can travel around off sim, as shown here: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4023/4327449565_70e2826252_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4327449441_246d30e43d_o.jpg

The Linden Homes are not on your land, they have their root prim on Linden Land, that's how come the prims of the homes don't count, it really doesn't matter how many prims the Linden Homes are, they could be 1000 prims each (well not actually), but you only get 117 prims, but you get all 117 prims to decorate your home with.

"Hmmm, aren't the > 512 meter parcels free of tier anyway?" Yes this 512 meter land counts against tier, but one could say the premium membership that you pay, is what pays for it. If you exceed 512 meters of land on mainland then you will start paying extra. "But at the same time Big Brother Linddy is not your SIM Lord." In theory he is, you get live help, which is a bit like asking your Landlord to help you out with a problem, if there are problems with stuff like terrain, you put a request in to have it fixed. "Hows it look, this SL subdivision? Some of those 512s inworld are in pretty shabby places." The homes are free (on loan) having one isn't forced on to you, as a designer there are aspects of the designs I'm not happy with, but on the whole they are not shabby. I never see more than 3 or 4 other avatars in my sim at the same time, the closeness of the homes is not a problem. "How about sky boxes?" No. But that's the whole point of these homes, it hopefully generates a community, it's not been developed for you to hide away in a little cubby-hole. If you want a sky box there is other mainland to buy to place these. "…or you could make one easy enough, save on prims too I would imagine." Yes you can make your own, but there is other mainland to buy to put your own home. You don't save prims by building your own home, your losing prims, the ones your using to build the home, you are definitely missing the point here or just playing devils advocate! "God I'm cheap" You said that, not me "Still seems like I should be able to buy land if I exceed the cost of a membership buying lindens." That is probably true.

To make it clear what you really get is 512 meters of land with a tough covenant and Govener Linden is the Land Baron, with this 512 meters of land you get LOANED the use of a free house, which you only have a limited choice in it's selection and practically none in it's placement. The only major benefit of this deal is having 4 walls with a roof and still having 117 prims to decorate it with.

basically tiering up is going from one level of owned land to another, so the first 512 meters is free, the next 512 meters will cost you US$5 a month, if you buy 512 meters of land extra you'll automatically start paying Linden Lab for this as they will take payment from however you set up your original payment information with Linden Lab. Check the knownledge base for the other tier levels. Read about tier here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Tier Land tier levels are: USD 195.00/ month 65,536 Entire Region USD 125.00/ month 32,768 1/2 Region USD 75.00/ month 16,384 1/4 Region USD 40.00/ month 8,192 1/8 Region USD 25.00/ month 4,096 1/16 Region USD 15.00/ month 2,048 1/32 Region USD 8.00/ month 1,024 1/64 Region USD 5.00/ month 512 1/128 Region USD 0.00/ month 0 0/128 Region

yes please.

But if you don't receive it on Tuesday it will come by Wednesday at the latest

some rezzors have the ability to kill objects as they hit your parcel border, luckily the butterflies don't know it's coming.

1. Did you bother asking the owner to move it first? 2. ARing is the second step, not knowing how the AR ticket system works yet, I would still suggest being patience and waiting for some kind of outcome.

where is your money, in world or in an Xstreet account?

some sim owners do provide private changing areas, which is usually a skybox over 1000 meters for some where to go to change, however, i don't know how private they are, they may allow some level of privacy though, another good area to change clothes or appearance is under the sea on Linden Land.

You can make a sim private, so it does not appear to others, although it will probably still be seen by the owner of course.

Simple question, is it possible to upload Avatar Meshes into Second Life presently, I think not, but I am looking for confirmation and any other interesting points on the subject, thanks.

"I don't think it's right to sit on a swan"

Call billing explain the situation and they can arrange to have that limit unblocked.

All I can suggest is go to the Scripting Tips in the forums, you'll probably get a answer there much quicker.

Having 'payment info on file' isn't age verified, but you should be verified to visit 'Adult' sims.

This is incorrect, past evidence shows that stipend is grandfathered, but stipend has reduced from L$500 to L$300 now.

Lina Pussycat, is this a recent change? for the first two years of my being in Second Life and started two groups myself, it was indeed the default for this to be checked on. There have been a number of times I have had to inform the group owner that this needed to be checked off. So if now the default is for this to be off, then that is indeed an improvement.
