If your profile says your a life member then I am fairly sure you are as of when you applied and got accepted. If the payment did not go through when 1.2 is launched then I suspect it would be revoked. What I have seen is that although your next billing date is January, it will happen when 1.2 is released instead. Presumably so they can set you up for the land allocation as you WILL have paid at that point.

Everyone who has switched over to "lifetime" but who has not yet paid for it will be billed at the end of their current billing cycle, or December 22, whichever comes first, unless they have made individual arrangements with Linden Labs for a later billing date.

Carnildo is right wrt the billing method. Current SL residents who recently purchased lifetime memberships will be billed on 12/22. The benefits (no recurring subscription charges and an allocation of 4096 sq.meters) apply to everyone with lifetime status.

Individuals who have specific questions about their particular status should address them to [email]support@lindenlab.com[/email], and reference me in the subject line.

On a separate note...

We've added 50 more lifetime accounts, so if you're still interested, there's still time.

You added 50 new lifetime accounts? I feel 50 divided by the previous total number of lifetime accounts times less special.

Just to clear up a point, lifetime accounts get the premium $500 per week base stipend right?

Oh, I'm sorry you feel less special.

But yes, you will get the $L500 weekly grant (stipend). So please cheer up!

does this mean that you'll still be selling lifetimes after the first of the year if they're not all bought? will those people get the same allotment as the current lifers?

I sent an e-mail about making arrangements for me before I make the change, because if the arrangements cannot be made, I will miss out on Lifetime membership again (I couldn't get the money together for Lifetime at the end of Beta), and I know that I couldn't get the money together in 4 days.

We'll see what happens.

Bye bye for now,
Alexis

Please make sure you understand the plan before you make the commitment - it does not automatically provide you with 4,096 square meters of contiguous land.

1.The Lifetime Membership allows you to hold up to 4,096 square meters of land without paying monthly land use fees .

2. You'll still need to acquire the land, which you can do either with $L (from other players or at auction) or $US (at auction starting after the release of v1.2). There won't be a specific plot of that size held aside for you, unfortunately.

3. Our current plan is to bill Lifetime Memberships after the v1.2 code release (on or around 12/22) for those of you who are converting from a different plan, to enable you to immediately take advantage of the v1.2 benefits. If that's a hardship for you, please send a mail to [email]billing@lindenlab.com[/email] and we'll discuss what your options might be individually.

Uhhhh... Will be billed after V1.2

Well, since I signed up for a lifetime membership, before my free trial peroid ended, I would hope you charged my account then. And as I understood it, I should had been charged then. You see, I first signed up for the preview/ free trial. Then I liked it, so having some extra money, Instead of signing up for a monthly account, I went directly from the Free Trial to a Life Time. If I have not been charged, then there is some major problems.

I need to be contacted about this.

Here is a quote from another thread. I think that answers your question.

From: someone

There are also indications that Lifetime's will not be sold once 1.2 is out.(Heard in game from Phillip Linden)(Confirmed: Here is the quote from the chat log)
Nala Galatea: Colin: Will lifetime memberships still be available after 1.2, and is there any reason to do so (except for really liking you guys and wanting to give you money ^^)
Colin Linden: Nala- No. the lifetime memberships will not be offered after 1.2 at least not in their current form. we may revisit the idea at a later date
