~How much money do you recieve (weekly) per rating?
Ive been searching for an answer for a while now, both in game and out. So far the only responses i've been recieving is short and flaming replies about the last patch and how much it sucks. Yes, i agree.. It sucks.
However that doesnt answer my question. Can Anyone please help?

-Thanks in advance.

Im not totally sure what you are asking....

Do you want to know how much $$ above the standard stipend I get?

There isnt a definition to the question you are asking as it changes on a day to day bases, based on the algorythim that they put in place to calculate the rating dispersal..;)

Yes, how much money do you get OVER the standard stipend.
Which brings another question. Is there any way to raise your standard stipend other than upgrading to a premium account?

Thats alot of big words for little men like myself. TY for that wad of confusion (lol). But while i understand that it would change, i also understand that there is a HUGE difference between; 1Rating for 1$L -and- 1Rating for 100$L. If there isnt a definate answer can you give me a general calculation or a ball park figure?

-Thanks

Ok to put it n Laymans terms

There is a Pool of funds that are allocated to pay for Ratings based on percentage.

For example

100 players rate each other randomly

The rates fall out like this

10 for the top rated person
9 second
8 ....
7...

and so on till everyone has a rate number

In this case say the rate pool has 1000 L$ in it for those 100 players

So with 100 players they can only rate a possible 30,000 or 100 x 300 times total thus 10/30,000 would be the percentage that the top rated person would recieve of the 1000 lindens

and so on down the list untill the lowest rated person is paid their percentage.

Hope that was a more difinitive answer but like I said it changes because the pool changes daily with the number of people that join.

ok no there isn't away to raise base stipen without or in addition to upgrading your account to prem status

As for my stipen it brakes down like this ( at least for this week)

500 base stipen
475 for bonus

975 total

This is a lot smaller than it used to be

500 base stipen
800 (+or-) bonus


miss those days sometimes lol


hope that info helps

ummmmm, bonus kinda confuses me sometimes *not that hard says i*
1. are ratings the only thing affecting this?
2. is it permanant or is it for that one week?
