Maybe LL just needs to market it differently. Kill off the term "premium membership" (and open up mainland land ownership to anyone). Instead, call it a Linden dollar subscription.. I don't think they can do just that - there'd need to be some restrictions/qualifications. Otherwise, you'd have armies of alts sitting on 512m2 parcels forever. _____________________

What amuses me in a sort of depressing way is that if you could somehow take this thread back in time to Sept of 2003 and have the people of the time see how vauleless people today consider a Charter Account, it's quite possible that a lot of them would have re-thought that inital cash investment, not bothered to buy one, and left LL without the revenue they so desperately needed at the time to continue this platform. |

Ok, i am not going to read this entire thread. But i really could care less what a bunch of people think.
My lifetime account is definitely worth it and there is at least 2 people in SL who have benefited from my Lifetime status since 2008 (and even before that) by letting them freely use the 4096m2 land tier lifetime/charters get. For me, the account was worth it. It helped LL get started and if that helped them give me 6 years of virtual fun, then it was worth 5 times more than the $225 or whatever it is paid for it. What does it matter if a bunch of people, the majority who hate LL and have all kinds of jaded opinions about SL think that Charter/Lifetimes are worth nothing? This is a forum, the people here who post opinions do not reflect a majority but just the 1% of residents who choose to post. Obviously there are people who are still wanting to pay HUNDREDS of dollars for 2003 accounts even if they are not charter/lifetime. *shrug* And...HI BEL!!!! Wow this topic brought you out of darkness, nice to see a post from you.  _____________________

They just piss me off and I really do wonder if they're going to drive themselves into the ground. I'm still new, though. Just turned 3.  _____________________

I don't think they can do just that - there'd need to be some restrictions/qualifications. Otherwise, you'd have armies of alts sitting on 512m2 parcels forever. The restriction already exists: each such alt would have to buy L$500 each week. It's basically identical to premium membership as it exists today, just described and marketed differently. In most people's minds, premium membership is all about owning mainland, which many people don't care about. The stipend is just an afterthought. But with a L$300/week stipend, a $72 annual premium membership already 80% pays for itself. So if they adjust that figure a bit and then remarket it as a Linden dollar subscription, and unbundle the mainland tier part or make it just a bonus offer on the side, more people might go for it. LL would make more revenue, and more avatars in SL would be walking around with a bit of money to spend (like an economic stimulus program for the SL economy). _____________________
