Look this server cost a lot of money the bigger it is the more it costs. Maybe if those that use sl all the time paid a little into it the problem wouldn’t exist. How can you complain like this when you don’t even buy a membership. I do and if one or the other of us should be able to log in guess who that should be?

What the heck is the achient story doing on the front page of an active website that purports to be a major information source?? I use a free account. I have for years and I have never had this happen. I looked at the story for possible coverage on my blog only to discover how old it is. Guys, if it’s a real phenomina write a new story, or an update, or something. Don’t leave it on your front page from 2008! Sloppy sloppy sloppy!

@We:
Exactly. People forget how much… more there was to bitch about Second Life stability just 2 years ago, when friday night meant rolling restarts, logins being disabled, etc.

It might take a lot today for them to actually have to restrict access to paying residents only, thanks to the improvements that have been made.

I totally agree with Darling. The difference between free an premium is so small this sort of thing would ensure you get what you pay for (maybe the next step would be to give premium members more bandwidth so they lag less).

They announced this back in 2007. At times of high concurancy they will shut down free account logins.

It was anounced in the blog and it was a dam good idea. Those of us who pay should not be locked out by those who do not.

@Vince

“Free Accounts” have existed for around 5 years. In that time, free accounts have been locked out of SL in favor of paying customers once. For about an hour.

My god. It’s the end of the world, to think that a business would ever favor those who actually pay for the service. Free accounts have been treated so well by LL that there’s this huge sense of entitlement.
