I mean, I realize it's a huge chunk of land, but the group management tools seem to scale pretty well.
So, what's the deal? Any big landowners want to give us plebs any idea?

Havent used em so I don't know. Its not just for sims though I can use the program with a half a sims worth of land. So for the people that own the land but don't have access to the land tools maybe they help.

I'm as puzzled as you are LF. I think there's something a little wack about having a CS system that is for more-equal-than-others. What exactly to they provide? And how do they decide who gets
For the record, I wrote like 3 times to 2 Lindens I thought were associated with the Concierge thingie and never heard back. And I can think of only one Linden who has ever been able to fix any macro problem or even provide information. So I'm not holding my breath on the Concierges. However, if they put out a shingle somewhere and explain their criteria, and explain, as LF says, why they can't wait on everybody, then...I'll come calling. The Concierge, to be fair, should not only say what his criteria for service is, he or she cuold consider explicitly saying that he will only deal with say, whole-sim problems, or only deal with, say, group-land problems, or something that on the one hand, shields him from a million calls from newbs asking how to terraform or put music on their land, but on the other hand, makes it a fair system. _____________________

It's simply an additional level of service for people above a certain tier. I haven't used it personally, though it's nice to know it's there.

If I remember right there is a phone number to call for the concierge service...have to dig up the email again. I think they mean well by the doing this...by that I mean they are dedicating people specifically for large land owners who may not have the normal problems that a 1024m2 land owner has. And instead of taking away from in world resources they have provided a line to the company. |

I mean, just by deign of Joe Q Landowner having a whole sim under his belt, he can snap his finger and get 3 lindens to his plot instead of one? Does it give landowners superpowers? Or does it not do anything? _____________________

I'm not sure where I stashed the email, but they offer answers to questions about technical issues, recommend scripters, builders, and the like. I think the assumption is that high tier payers are more likely to be developing large projects and LL is offering an easier way to get advice and help.

Being a Linden buddy probably.... Does anyone have a copy of the actual email? I can't recall exactly what it said. Whatever it was though I'm sure certain people will find some way to complain of favoritism, unfairness, or feted eliteness. You're a full sim owner Katy... perhaps you still have yours?  _____________________

No problem. I've never used it but I am having an issue right now that I can't find a solution for via other means, so maybe I'll try it out.

Very odd, since a few days ago you claimed to be making extensive use of this service. _____________________

I'm guessing the reason is they want to kiss the asses of the players that pay them lots of money every month. Not a bad idea.
However, I tried emailing the concierge service over 2 weeks ago for an issue I am having and to this day have not received a response. Color me disappointed. _____________________

Since Starley was kind enough to post the actual letter, this is the part I was thinking of (and remembering poorly)... The Concierge is committed to helping you in any way possible. Be it technical support, billing issues, advice on finding a texture artist, or assistance optimizing a script, the Second Life Concierge will see to that you get the support you need. I've not used the service so I can't comment on how it works in practice. "Advice on finding a texture artist" is probably more along the lines of telling you how best to go about it rather than actually recommending someone. _____________________

I haven't used it, and in-fact I'd forgotten it even existed until now.
