I have talked about, read and replied to many issues that involved large amounts of land and large business empires, and there are some serious issues here that they are dealing with.. only time will tell if it is good or bad for them.

What I want to know now.. is how do other people in my situation feel?

I sell nothing other than helping people ane getting a few L$100 as a gift now and then.

I have about $1000-$1500 in taxable land and objects, which is covered by my stipend and bonus.

My only troubles are tryign to find land to build on.. my current location is heavily cramped, and of course object prim usage goes from 95% to 100% on most days.

So for me, the changes are good. I'll be able to afford more land than before if I pay the $15 rate, and keep the same amount of land and pay less if I so choose.

I will have a set number pf prims. Now this may or may not be enough for hat I need, at least I don't have to worry someone will come in and take the remaning 4% and leave me unable to rez a teapot for visitors.

The only downside is worries that converting L$ to US$ will cause unintended side effects.. but this can only be proven or disproven by trying it. (Bit I mention it wheverer I can in hopes it will be delayed:)

So..... how do other small (1000 sq meters or so) land owners and players with no land currently feel? Does this change affect anyone in this range badly?

I have a small plot on mount Eggy in blue, and I'm pretty excited about the changes so far. If I want to extend my build, I just buy more land - but this time I'll be a bit more confident that there will be some land to buy.

Shaking up the system can be painful for some, but honestly it looks like it was needed. This hit me while I was flying around compiling my top ten list - which I'm sure will be interesting as an archive to see what happens to various build types.

So, mostly good in my opinion - if I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it.

I own a 1,184 sq meter plot in Perry. I think the changes will benefit me because I don't really want land in Perry, I had land in Hawthorne but left because I could never rez anything. =)

It seems to me that Lifetime members still have a lifetime membership, they never have to use more than that 1 acre.

Ok.. five out of five positive. (Including me)

Wow, just noticed the Lifer Poll... four pages of responses and counting.

I didn't know there were so many more lifers than monthly members... :-)

not all of those responses are lifers either... some people don't understand the terminology
