  1. That's my experience - merging plots or deeding to a group (or inverse, taking the plot back to resident owned when was group owned) put the date in the last change.
  2. Nope, that kind of warning means nothing to LL.
  3. Wow, this, copy/pasting chats is against LL's rules. The guy should be happy for not being reported.

  4. Procure a vendedora, nuria Augapfel. Veja no perfil dela se ela perfere contato por MI ou por notecard. Explique a ocorrência, enviando essa copia da transacão. 99% dos vendedores costumam resolver esse tipo de ocasião assim que ficam sabendo. E tenha paciência, a pessoa pode não logar todos os dias. Não fique mandando recados a cada hora :-)
  5. The Gor comunity is huge (or used to be). Even though, LL never made a space for them. There are dozens of sims rented by Goreans to play their roleplay, all paid by the the RPers. If LL would reserve part for free combats, I can imagine people of IIWW attacking medieval armys, and than tribes of infians killing Luke Skywalk, and so. A good RP need rules, that means that it cannot open to all, just for those who accept tat particular rules - this can only be reached in private sims.

Not a big deal, but it happened to my Mainland "home" region at some point, so don't be too shocked if it happens. Mine got changed to Main Channel as part of some maintenance they did to fix some problems we were having (SIM Crashes). And while I can't document it, I believe private estates can request to be taken off of the release candidate channels. Yep, our was changed from RC to Main, by request - some of us was in fear that a RC could be less stable.
  7. That's exact how I feel. Probably this change will have little, if any, effect on me, but why cannot I choose the way I will manage my account bills?
  8. Yep. When you go to the "Increase credit" page, you receive this: "If you came here to add credit to your account in order to place a limit buy, you no longer need to add credit to your account to complete the purchase. We have streamlined the order process so you can now go directly to the Buy L$ page and place your order there. You will be redirected to the cashier to make payment once you place your order."
  9. I think in a possible work around, but didn't tested it yet (I'll have to pay my premium fee next month) Today, the best offer to buy is L$257/US$1,00, with 109 million dollars. If one put an offer to buy for 258 L$/US$, will be charged for that, but the order will not be filled in the near future (possibly never). After the order is there, go to "Transaction History", and cancel it. I think that the dollars will go to your balance, staying there to pay your fees. Maybe I try soon this in advance of more than one month, but is an idea that can work. If the money is sent back to your CC or PayPall account, one will lose nothing. P.S. I will have to pay US$ 72 for my premium. If I put an order of L$18500 with a rate of 258 L$/US$, I'll be billed in US$ 72,01 - enough to pay the fee.
  10. The part of being PIOF to have a MP store, is a thing that can be discusted, although I am not particularly for this. Maybe, a user can only be in MP after, say, 3 months of age, wouldn't be so easy to, after caught, simply make another disposable account and put the store back on. All those things can reduce the facility of pirating, with a limited impact on innocent ones, instead of a hard proihibition of anything that was being proposed here and in other threads.

  12. What victory? As already pointed, it would just make things a little harder for the copyers and would ruin SL for many innocent people.
  13. This would hurt many innocent people that cannot, for any reason, put payment info in their account. Just to illustrate, in Brazil the majority of credit cards are notinternational, they are valid only in Brazil. Those people rely in buying L$ from friends or using third part sellers, and would be second-clas residents if these measures were implemented.
  14. I really have a hard time trying to understand that kind of fuzz. If I have to contact a inknown people in SL, after finding their profile, the first thing I do is to read it. Many times there is a line saying "if you need to contact me, please do via...". If I do want a respionse from them, the best to do is following what they want. If they don't have a preferred method in profile, it's not my fault.
  15. Yep! I still have land in mainland, but since I became adicted to slsailing, I bought a sea-side plot, where I can build my boats, and start from there - these plots still have a high value - sea-side, to a navigable sea - mine is a 1020 sq m (1024 for 2 premium accounts, mor 10% for group owned land) in Gulf of Moles, and I paid 17 th for it, and my old plot inland, instead of sell it for 1 L$/sq m, I give it for free to a neighbour, to not pay double fee. P.S. seasideplots near Blake Sea can be even more expensive.

Then, for reasons known only to themselves, the Lindens flooded the market with new land, driving land prices down very rapidly severely, wiping out a very large amount of SL wealth. (...) Not being an expert in land commerce in SL, I think I can say something on this . When I was satarting my SL I tried the land commerce. I used to spent half to an hour every day looking for cheao land in mainland, under 6000 for a 512 plot. And put them to seel for 6500-7500. In that time I prefered a plot for, say, 5500 L$ in a nice surrounding than one for 4000 L$ between a casino and a add-farm. In average it took 7-10 days to resell one plot this this way, and I grew up to almost a hwole sim, scattered through the mainland. In June, or July that year, LL announced the end of the casinos - they used to cover something like half the mainland. The result was obvious, even to me, half the land would be put to sell, and the prices would go down. Sold all land that I had, and abandoned my brief experience as "land lord" :-) In fact, the prices went down to half what they used to be.soon after the new anti-gambling politics was inforced. From than on, it seems that every time someone went to bathroom in Linden Lab, land prices went even down.
  17. This kind of topic ever amazes me and make me think what I am doing wrong. In sl since january 2007, and inworld almost every day, and was never banned from a single parcel.
  18. I am seeing that I'm not the only one who prefers to send money before the payment day, in case of a problem that can occur in payment, having plenty of time to resolve any issue. And the wise guys in lab took this possibility from us...
  19. Phil Deakins wrote: So are you saying that the streamlined system is worse for you, like it's worse for the OP? I'm not saying that, just that if I have any problem, I will not have a few days to resolve the issue. I will know of it after the billing failed - after they try to bill me. Anyway, the probability of having a problem is low, but I'll need to see in the billing day if everything went well and, if don't, rush to resolve intead to make it with plenty of time.
  20. I used to increase credit to pay my premium account (annual fee), just to be sure that it don't has any problem. In fact it makes no difference to me if I send the money on day 10 or on 27 - I will pay the actual bill in the same day. That way I would have many days to resolve any issue that could happens, withou hurry. But since 2007, just once I had a problem and was because I forgot to replace the credit card when the old one was out of validity
  21. Yep. When we was talking about this, in slsailing group, there were as many people saying that had siled recently there without any problem as people that was invited to leave the area. For my part, there are many places to sail, and I prefer to have companion, even if just by sight :-)
  22. Perrie Juran wrote: I hate to ask the obvious but was this conversation with an Estate Mgr? It was with a group officer, if she has estate powers, I don't know. Anyway, in the description of the sims there is: "Fruit Islands - Residents Only Area -". OK, their politics, I can only respect
  23. Unfortunately, seems that rules changed there. Here is part of a conversation there a few days ago: E: Just wanted to inform you that you are in a Residents Only Area. Please note that only our residents can use our hang out places and the ocean. [2013/05/24 15:24] A: ok, but is it possible to sail around your islands? [2013/05/24 15:24] E: only residents can [2013/05/24 15:25] A: so, whole fruit is private? [2013/05/24 15:25] E: we are not a public ocean, but residents only [2013/05/24 15:25] E: of course [2013/05/24 15:25] A: ok, i haven't known [2013/05/24 15:25] E: our residents are paying for the privilege of using the ocean Others reported similar while some was sailing in Fruit Islands without problems.
  24. jotade, cancelar sua conta não vai tornar seu PC mais rápido. Se não quer mais acesar o sl, simplesmente remova o viewer - painel de controle>>adicionar ou remover programas. Ache o viewer que instalou e remova.
  25. Thanks for wake up this thread? I friend just made his first car in SL, this Oldsmobile 1904. I loved it!
