...wouldn't it be lovely if Linden Labs took a look at what other up and coming virtual worlds are doing? Increase prims, increase region sizes, keep the prices what they are now. 512 x 512, and 75,000 prim allowance to start, with the option of increasing it to 100,000. Start with private regions, then mainland. It would force rebuilds across the grid - but would that be a bad thing? So much of the mainland looks awful. Good sim builders are always rebuilding anyway.
