That being said, i have got to ask WHY? Why Log in and subject yourself to this. Why Stay on SL if it makes you so angry and frustrated? Why not just shut up and leave? If you want to Hurt LL as they have hurt you, STOP spending $ no NOTHING! Stop buying thoes 200$L lingerie sets, and the 500$L BDSM gear. Stop paying $1000 usd + Monthly tier for a plot of Digital Land.

Linden Lab is Laughing at everyone, they think it is helarious they can bend all thier cistomers over, Stick it to them w\out any vasoline, and still the residents scream for more land, more Digital sex toys, more…. It is Time the Residents of SL did more then Blog, and Bitch. If you REALLY want to hit LL where it hurts and give them as much grief as they have give you, then simply do not long in, do not spend money on Pixels. Go Outisde in the REAL WORLD, take a deep breath and say “Hello Reality, Long time no see”

To Linden lab it’s all about the dollars. Real Dollars that is, Not thier Fake currency, thier Fake land, or thier Fake residents. Bottom line is the buck stops at Linden Reasurch. The only way to change that is to make the buck STOP with you. Spend your Money on going to a REAL Club, concert, or dare I say a REAL WORLD PROPERTY TO BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME. Why pay close to 300$ usd on a Digital Morgage (Tier) when you could use that same $ to pay off a REAL LIFE Morgage?

In the past few weeks\months Ihave done just this, my time on SL has gone from 8-10 hours a week down to less then 1 hour a week. I have totally STOPPED spending any money in game, as well I have downgraded my account to a FREE BASIC one and gave up that tiny 512 LL lets us have for the 10 dollars a month.(soon I will most likely delete the account totally)

What is the point of this little rant you may ask? Easy IF YOU ARE SO UPSET, ANGRY AND PISSED OFF ABOUT WHAT LINDEN LAB IS DOING TO YOUR SECOND LIFE THEN ALL THAT IS LEFT TO DO IS, LIFT UP YOUR SKIRT, GRAB YOUR BALLS AND GET A FUCKING REAL LIFE! Otherwise you can blog till your fingers bleed cuz linden lab does not give a flying fuck about you… they will jsut continue to ben you over and fuck you nasty with a fake digital chainsaw.

all thats left to say is

A Tout Le Monde – (To all the world)
A tout mes amis – (To all my friends)
Je vous aime – (I love you )
Je dois partir – (I must leave)

Yeah, the grid will run GREAT with a lot less people putting money into the system.

You enjoy your “free” hangouts and “free” music. There’s bound to be a lot of it once half of the business owners shut down and leave.

Quit shitting on the business owners who help provide you your “hangouts”.

I see you still believe you live in a Virtual world as Prokofy Neva – Where is the proof I have asked for that shows you have transferred your very essence over to the Internet?

Oh! That’s right – it does not exist! Silly me!

I see you are still trying to compare Fantasy to Reality – A pity really.

I do hope you wake up soon Dearie – After all, LL is not the United states Government. You do not get to ‘elect’ anyone – all you can do is watch and wait.

Oh – and before you bitch and moan and complain or whatever it is you do Dearie – You do not get to dictate what can and cannot be done with information once it is in the Public Domain. Let us not forget that your Avatar does not type out these responses – you do Dearie and I refuse to talk to an entity that does not exist.

I’m finding Curious behaving with incredible gullibility again. You apparently missed this class act from the Lindens before — they’ve honed it now to a science. They pulled the same stunt in the past on the first private island price hike; then the private island price *crash*; they *always* play it this way — make a harsh announcement with a very near deadline, then pretend to mitigate it by relaxing the deadline a bit, to make you think they are liberals, and are moderating their harsh policy, but in fact they change nothing but the timing — the price hike or crash still goes into effect.

They are trying to shake us loose. Let’s not make it easy for them.

Uhm…. what level of detail are you talking about??

I’m talking about any level of detail at all about anything even remotely financial realted to Linden Lab. It is a private company and as such does not need to disclose ANY financial information publicly; not even vague statements like “we did really well last quarter”.

What impressed me about this, as I said at the end of the article, is that this shows a sign that Linden Lab is trying to communicate more openly with residents. I don’t know if it will continue or not but I am more hopeful because of how much Zee participated.

Pie Psaltery,

Within the full context of all of Zee’s comments, I think his appology was for how they abruptly announced an increase with very little warning. They also did make an effort to correct this by adjusting the schedule, setting a phased-in approach, and adjusting the offering to 2 different products. It may not be what you want but they did show that they were willing to listen to you and try to adjust their approach.

Also LL might have stated that the are for forrest and oceans, but we would they double prims, and make it so you could have OS as stand alones, who would put a forrest or ocean in the middle of no where. And LL has stated that it was ok to rent this sims but it might cause a perfoemance issue. This was stated back in 06 when they were class 4 sims. So now the performance should be better with class 5.

Just to clarify a little, we’re not saying that folk can’t rent out these areas or live in them – we just don’t recommend it because of the relative performance compared to normal regions.

So with that said Linden Lab mainly Jack “Ass” Linden should stand up and just admit that he screwed up, rather then saying the residets where abusing them. I would even take the half way point. LL screwed up and some residents were abusing them.

JB

Meanwhile, all of us full sim owners saw all our renters leave and flock to these overloaded openspace sims.

Kudos to Linden Lab for belatedly trying to fix the mess they made.

As for those whining about the cost increase, cry me a river. I didn’t see you whining when your cheap sims put a lot of full sim owners out of business. So, yes, I will laugh watching you fail.

So what came to mind was the classic phrase, “Stupid is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the outcome to be different.” So don’t be stupid. If you think LL represent the Coming of the Antichrist and couldn’t manage their way out of a wet paper bag with scissors, then pack up and leave. What deep-seated streak of masochism keeps you paying money to be abused over and over again? Stop talking about “If things don’t change I’m going to [insert virtual world here]” and fuck off there! The best way to protest against perceived injustice, conspiracy, negligence, and/or mismanagement is with your virtual feet. If you can do better, go ahead and build your own virtual world and make it a haven for disaffected Second Lifers who want to throw off the yoke of Linden servitude. Admittedly there are fewer venture capitalists out there who might want to toss a few million your way, and if your total experience of virtual worlds is a Second Life account, a World of Warcraft character called “Thrungar the Terminally Bewildered” and the general notion that “Linden Lab sucks and I bet I could do better,” then the VCs may not be too charitable.

I have a headache. I see stupid people. Stop the madness. Uninstall!!

…but instead of enforcing the original intent of Opensapce sims to keep the price reasonable, we’re just going to charge you a lot more money to cover the mistake we made.

Admitting you made a mistake is honorable, making someone else pay for it is not.
