    Make Membership 3 times more expensive and offer a full region to Premium Members, like the non tier 512 sq m, I would not mind paying lots more to Premium but have my 1 Sim to be able to try something cool without paying A LOT each week - Each ek I think seriously about giving up from my full rented region and my business is growing, but 7 days is to short and here come tier again

    I would hate to see LL creating themed areas

    First of all it spoils all the philosophy of SL, the users must be the creators and explorers

    Finaly, it would crash any small interpeneur that wished to vallue its land, either for usse or rent, cause we could never do a park, sports or games as free and rich and script resistent as LL, lol, for obvious reasons

    Who would visit one´s garden or sky resort or beach if LL had their own, 10 times bigger and diverse, professionaly crafted,  mass publicized and crowded sims where 200 avis could join and 500 scripts would not do a scratch ???

    They provide the world base and we use it with endless possibilities !!!

    Well, I could say there are some exceptions for inworld shopping

    If I decide to buy an expensive prefab or, lets say, am elaborated expensive pet or wild animal, like the whale I bought, I surely use SL Market, cause Inworld search just does not work.

    But I would never do the final purchase without checking the item Inworld, rezzed or checking the prefabs rezzer parcel

    Maybe a dress or a texture or simple objects do not need Inworld but complex or expensive 3D spacial creations like homes, etc, still do need

    Would you buy a 10K castle or skyscraper before checking it closely Inworld ?

    My point is - Some products benefit from 3D shopping Inworld and justify land tiers to show and sell them

    I understand you totally and agree, but there will always be big fish that will afford free concerts and free services just for the fun

    Small fish will be driven off and the small fish is the most innovative

    SL is as free and potential as RL thats its magic - If some guys bring lots of investment, well, is like the RL, I should find a way to do better with less, but the starting point is still to hard

    How many of you would not venture into having 1 or 2 full regions and try to develop your dreams, enriching the SL offer if Sims were 1/3 the price ? Well they can be 1/3 if al free users start paying their account

    I prefer to have an emptier world with 1/3 the actual people but a good working one with lots of small entrepeneurs bringing new ideas and activities, showing the world how diverse and innovative SL is

    IN THE LONG TERM - All will comeback and think the pay account is worth

    SL has a huge advantage on future competiors - Wide long diverse experience, that has no comparison

    I LOVE SL, i will stay and try - I had a full region for 10 months or so - I dont fear competition if the starting point and minimum investment gets lower but right now - I will hibernate on my peaceful free features relaxing, relative low cost homestead

    Hitomi, they will go on doing it if they have to be a pay user account, it would be just an extra for LL and small Entrepeneurs to breathe

    Having a pay account, witch is not that costly for access to such a wonderful world as SL is does not prevent anyone form doing is usual shops and spendings and earnings

    Rene, you have a good point over there, sure, but the actual model is proven disastrous in many other ways, this is a question of saving SL wile competitors still have only a third of SL features to offer

    The only reason why SL is still here is because they are the only ones to offer so much, but few users are paying for many

    Good to read all this in here - Finally I get it, what is going on with SL - To many server care and cost and to few payers, that is why LL earns a lot but does not have investment resources left, besides profit (lol) to really improve or lower tiers, etc - We, the small Entrepenurs, are paying widely for the free users freedom to communicate and explore

    I have been giving a timely look online - The is no 3D World yet to match SL, nothing compared with SL complete features and open possibilities, not even a close one, lets be honest

    I LOVE SL, but the only reason I keep on here waiting and hoping, investing and dropping, trying new stuff and investing again (is also part of the fun and challenge of SL) is because they are the only ones in their style and possibilities

    But sure, Rene, everybody paying a bit is disastrous in one very important way, lets hope SL is not doomed already with the actual disastrous path, unless it becomes a place for companies and elites with money, ohh good, what I would do with 2.000$ a month on SL, god, you can do a lot with 50$ on SL, but not if you are small and alone and having to pay the 295$ month

    AND YES - People that come here to criticize a lot is people that is worried and love SL, other way we would rather be doing other stuff online or searching for other worlds, why bother to think and write here ? CRITICS that pose deep questions and detailed arguments are important and caring ones

    SL is going down for small fish like me, that can only afford a rented homestead and gave up from its full region, always chocked with bills and no money left for innovative events

    Thinking way ahead and with all due respect Rene - I VOTE FOR - EVERYONE MUST HAVE A PAY ACCOUNT

    After reading many comments I arrive to the following conclusions

    1 - To many free account users for so much server performance demand to include free users

    2 - Entrepeneurs and land buyers are paying for all, yet LL has no spare to invest seriously

    3 - There should be no free users

    3.1 - I know that will stop many new curious registers

    3.2 - But let come in only who really values SL enough to have a pay account

    3.3 - SL may than improve a lot, etrepeneus may breathe and overall contents and performance may be improved

     

    SAVE SL ON THE LONG TERM

    SL is a bit flat and you should seriously consider allowing small entrepeneurs to develop, by cutting down costs on land price and tier - That may only show benefits on the long term but I assure you it will really be worth cause right now small people with great and inovative ideas will stay out, even if they try, land price and tiers is to heavy for a single person investment, we all know it takes 4 to 6 months of tiers to start sghowing positive economic resultsafter setting up a Sim, when we speak about a single sim and a single person

     

    Help the small fish and have a biodiversity ocean later - competition will arrive soon !!!

     

    cheers

    Not bad for a start but if you dont want small Creators and Entrepeneurs to start giving up and than leaving SL only for Big Fish and more poor for just users, either you lower the tiers, either rase the prims limit or, even better - Improve the scripts lag impact on sims.

    I had a Full Region with not many scripts and it crashed when 66 people came in to an event - Maybe you should warn sim owners that 100 avis limit is only if you consider naked Avis and not hud users.

    Costs are still to heavy for small brilliant minds, lol - I know LL earns enough now and dont bother to lower its revenues but in the long term it wont work, just wait for competition to arrive.

    A Full Region for a group or company is nothing on tiers, classifieds or Inworld hiring, but for an individual intrepeneur is too much if one wants to make something original and different, not just Malls or Clubs!!!

    You are putting the small fish outside SL and sometimes is precisely the small fish that brings quality and innovation on the long term.

    I gave up my full region because 23k a week was to much for a non commercial sim, and  I did quite a few original events there, but I did not have a single L left to improve the sim or hire artists and so

    - If tier was, lets say, half the price I would go on and develop and also hiring Inworld witch is a great potential booster - I manage to invest 5 or 6 months without incomes, just developing community and even offering free homes, etc..

    Maybe all can get along without me but its just a sign that, like me, many others may give up, is that simple, now is up to you !!!

    Many thanks for reading
