I wonder what will come with this Super Shiney Premium Level membership as well... but as the Lindens say... '...later in the year...' But they never say which year! However, until it happens here is my crack pipe wish list: An increased bonus tier Increase on weekly stipend at least 100L more a week More pick tabs in profiles Better, less primmy and actually usable premium gifts - one every month or at least a different one every six months with the option to 'catch up' on the previous one that was missed Return to the option of being able to purchase a quarterly membership for the super shiney premium level That concludes my little crack pipe wish list:) Woooo 'later in the year' whichever year that will be

The quarterly membership was their most popular plan, as stated on the premium membership page - though not sure if that lil graphic of 'most popular' is still on there or not. I had my land alt on quarterly, but I will be downgrading her back to basic, keeping my main at premium only.

I get L$500 a week and I'm premium. Before I became premium, I had a stipend of L$50 a week on basic. The join window for residents getting that was very short back in 2006 and I was just lucky to have discovered SL on one of them days. If LL increases the stipend from L$300 for premium memberships (the new ones ) then I would hope that they would raise the stipends across the board for all premium memberships - and maybe call the 'old old' accounts stipend 'pensions' instead of stipends - that would be cool:)

Ahh there it is akin to '...later in the year' lol

WOOO! I just now saw this! Yay!!! We were listened too! Woooo!! And out of all the things that upset us the most was the 'group thing' it shows how much we do communicate with each other, find each other, meet and socialize with each other through groups. SL will be forever the social experiment that it first was all those many years ago. It may have all started with a cube; however, it will continue with the Human need to socialize and communicate with one another. Thank you, LL!

Regarding outdated things - there is a fine line of preserving SL history whilst creating new SL history, in terms of grid-wide. Our virtual SL history reminds us of how it all began and how we started out and knowing where our virtual history came from adds to the appreciation factor of our virtual present. For some it may seem pointless, and others it is important. Personally, as an oldie, I enjoy being able to still see things that I first saw as a noob - it's a conversation starter for sure with other oldies as we duck walk down memory lane. And we can use that same history to show new residents just how far SL has come and be able to say, 'I was there.'

Just today, a Linden visited my LRC hub in Tensel Moor, which needless to say I totally fangirled but was able to talk about what the Linden Road Community is about - Anyway, I was so excited that I had forgot to ask for a bear, but I had not to fear because this particular Linden did ask if I would like one of his bears to which I said 'Yes please!' Also, a friend of mine recently acquired some abandoned land and through the live chat feature asked the Linden that was working with her about a bear - though they didn't have one. So, sometimes a Linden will offer their bear and others you have to ask - but just take no chances - whenever you see or speak with a Linden always ask for a bear:) It's one of the traditions that makes SL so very SL and it's wonderful!

To the 5 more that walk in, are those freshly spawned noobs or alts?! haha (JK!)

Mmm yes putting it that way sounds more plausible. Thank you for putting it that way

Wow... I find that hard to believe..not implying that there is an untruth in that - just... literally finding that hard to believe. No offence intended at all. Just being honest.

I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't lol -

Mmhmm that's true - depends on when one's rezz day is. Before I went premium a few years ago, as a basic account holder, I had a stipend of 50L a week. Now with premium my stipend is 500L. However, if I downgrade back to basic account obvs, I'll lose the 500L stipend a week, but I will also not get my 50L stipend back - I will be stipend-less.

No basic account holders do not have a stipend.

It's another '...changes later in the year' promise. Though if there is ever a super duper premium level, then I hope it does include a daily wake up call from my favorite Linden - now that I would happily pay the extra for XD Oh and like the promise of no lag ever that'd be a top feature to pay for! And oh yeah... how about finally after all these years fixing the things that were supposed to be fixed years ago, but it's actually gone on far too long broke that fixing them now would be pointless as technology has changed, therefore implementing features that actually work on a consistent basis instead of a hope and a virtual prayer. Roll on SL16 - I'm super excited to know what's next... either this year... or next year... or the year after that... Wooo! Bring it! XD

Maybe the basic account holder group slots overloads more than the premium members group slots....... You raised a good point - if groups are a strain then they take away from one but increase the other.......

Oh yeah, name changes are coming later in the year.... back in 2018 XD They are still working on them this year... 2019 XD Woooo! Can't wait!

Sure, if one lives for going to those Events. I certainly don't, but I merely speak for myself

Oh yeah, that's one of the premium perks to be able to get first priority spot into one of those many events.

But what if your renew date for annual membership isn't due until like September? Does that mean that those of us with later renew dates will lose out on the grandfathered option?

LL leads us on with all these 'promises' of '...this will come later in the year!' Then two years later, that promise of something great to come hasn't arrived. Also, a lot of us have been in SL for a very very long time - so we know the pattern of when things change: LL makes a change - we complain or rejoice - when we rejoice as we did when we got an increase in group slots and now we complain because basic account holders are having their group slots slashed by 7 whilst premium members get a raise in group slots by 10. (I'm a premium member, and personally I think it is unfair to the basic account holders.) Our Stipend has never been increased, yet we end up paying more on the hope that something will be introduced that will make not having a stipend increase worth it. As consumers/customers/what have you - we have a right to complain - just as LL seemingly has a right to charge whatever they want too for whatever hard to grasp reasons. SL is what we make it. We all have different reasons for putting money into it, having premium or choosing not too. A basic account holders lindens is just as good as a premium member's lindens. We were asked for feedback and thus we are giving it - it's how business works.

Different levels of premium memberships like this: Bronze - You'd be lucky if the things promised works or actually is fullfilled Silver - Wonderful half of the things you have paid a membership for actually works - sorry about the other half Gold - Wooo! You are the cream of the crop! Remember those change of names we had promised you back in 2018? You'll get everything else, but not that... that's later in the year. /me rolls eyes.

Well, technically group notices are stored for 2 weeks before they drop out of notices.

Good ole bait and switch marketing.

See!
