If L$ => US$, why not skip middleman and make L$ => more land

If L$ => US$, why not skip middleman and make L$ => more land is the title of this thread, and I hope the Lindens are reading every one of these threads.

I am a lifetime member.

I probably have made 3/8 of a sim instead of the base 1/16 that I will be granted by the 1.2 changes.

I am sitting on a significant amount of L$.

If I want to maintain this land, yet not pay more US$ for it, why can't I simply shove over some of my already earned L$ for it?

You said it yourself, you can convert your L$ to US$. If I'm simply going to turn around and put it towards more land, why convert it. Why not simply hand it over?

This is a possible solution for me, and others who have done well for themselves in Second Life as it now stands. Especially those who may not be able to put US$ towards the system.

Please take this into consideration, Lindens. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure this post :

Linden post

says that being able to use $L for land purchase ( and maintenance ?) "is" going to happen - but this definitely needs to be expounded upon. If current users with successful business models who are currently making enough $L to support "larger" land allocations can continue to use $L to fund their land, this will go a long way to alleviating some of the concerns that have been voiced in these forums.

Thanks Sinclair. I noticed the post almost immediately after posting mine, since in the time it took me to post, about 3.6 bazillion more topics came up

Now to decide whether to wade through all those topics, or simple sit tight.



(for the record, I plan on staying, the way I see it, my lifetime membership paid for the enjoyment I had during beta, and so on, and I likely won't ever have to pay a dime to things won't change for me. I do understand that this is not the case for everyone, but I can't really do much about it)
