From: someone
For anyone that has bought a normal island in the seven days prior to Mondays announcement, including any awaiting delivery now (so any orders placed in April PST), you will be offered a choice between:

* Your order cancelled with a complete refund of the amount paid, allowing you to re-order when the price drops if you wish to, or:
* Keep your order and get a free Openspace region with it. The Openspace would have no setup fee and no monthly fees for a period of 6 months after which normal monthly fees will apply.

For those that purchased a normal island between 11th and 31st March 2008 you will be offered a free Openspace, with no setup fee and no monthly fee for a period of 3 months after which normal monthly fees will apply.


Quite an offer, how do you feel about that?

yeah, but in the first year it will still cost either $450 US or at best $225 US and then $75 US a month, so in fact they will still get their money back and more. Without the offer they get nothing back.

Nice gesture. But I feel sorry for all the people who ordered Islands March 10th and earlier.

Contact them. Maybe you can get a discount or something.

If you've got one, I'd be happy to take it. I ordered my island back in January, so I'm out of luck on the discounts.

I accepted it, missed out on getting the 6 months free by 4 days but I'll take no setup and 3...since our plans included and openspace at some point anyway.

It's a light use sim, same sq meters as a normal sim, but 1/4 the prims, and lower script performance. costs 1/4 less to setup and maintain too.

i wonder whether the dates mentioned refer to the island ordering date or the island delivery date?
i took delivery on the 19th mar, yet ordered two weeks earlier. where does this leave me?

Its order date unfortunately or I'd be up for 6 months free tier on my openspace instead of 3
