My inworld time is linked to my RL and goes through phases of seemingly always (if you ask my friends) , frequently, to rarely over the last few months as RL has taken over again. I think this is even my first forum post in years!

A long, long time ago, I can remember you helping me out personally when I had a problem with something. Thank you, Oz for all you've done for Secondlife. Have a great retirement!

A lot of people don't want to upgrade to Win10 simply because they've tried it and think it's s***, don't like all the telemetry (Microsoft spying on them) and just prefer Windows 7. A lot of things about the Win 10 UI suck. I use Start10 and windowblinds so my system looks pretty much like Win 7 anyway, or I boot into Linux, but the last official LL build of Secondlife for Linux was 5.0.9 so who wants to use that? No wonder people turn to 3rd party viewers, like Firestorm. It's not just a case of people not having the latest hardware anyway, a lot of the time they just don't want to use Win 10.

I understand that the last names if changed are from a select list and that if upgrading to premium, members that already have a last name can change their first OR last name. What I want to know is what effect changing a first name only has on a sirname. Can someone change their firstname and KEEP their existing sirname?

Wait..LL deleted my reply to Qie which clarified my question and agreed with him? Even if previous data verification has been deleted according to some policy, shouldn't there be some record that a person has already provided RL info?

I have never cashed out but I sent real life proof of ID to linden lab for the age verification process several years ago (Driver license, scanned and emailed directly then verified ). Why is that ID still not on file and not able to be used for Tilia?

If you never cash out and only use your card to buy L$ then no, you don't need to provide any additional information.

If you only buy L$ you're not affected. If you want to CASH OUT for real world money then you are affected. LL replied at least twice in this thread I think. Come August the 1st you'll have to agree on login to some new terms but that's the only thing that will affect the majority of people that don't cash out (process credit)

Exactly when is the last opportunity I would be able to get a quarterly subscription before you stop people signing up ? Right now I can sign up today, but will it be available next Friday ? (my next pay day ^^ )

Currently I am basic and have been thinking about going back to Premium since the start of this year. " If you keep Quarterly subscriptions - I, and I bet others will, would go premium again! " Mundane RL things like a new Fridge freezer, cooker and then last weekend an exploding washing machine (literally..bang!) have prevented that. The announcement states that new quarterly subscriptions are no longer possible but if they were kept, then in a few weeks time I would be able to. Juggling a monthly bill for SL ($143.88 a year) on top of RL bills isn't an option

Please reconsider the Quarterly subscription. I've been here 12 years and been a premium member in the past, always paid quarterly, the yearly membership fee is just to much for me to afford just as it is for many others. I worked out that with the price increases those paying quarterly will now only get a 1 month saving over those that pay monthly, over the course of a year (currently it's 2) The group limits bite, I sort of understand the reasoning but then to say you're giving higher limits to premium members when they already have 18 more slots? If you need to lower limits because of server problems but then increasing them for every premium member then, I don't get it. Really don't get it. Reduce by less or increase by less or both. I've got groups I've paid for I don't want to quit and groups joined for sentimental reasons I wouldn't be able to rejoin if I left. Bottom line. If you keep Quarterly subscriptions - I, and I bet others will, would go premium again! It's the affordable option and middle ground So please, please keep it as an option or at least, don't phase it out so quickly, keep it open a bit longer.
