Benifits of having a full account?

the arguement is that basic accounts don't get full support. while it's true, it's reality. deal with it.

these socialist mentalities of expecting to be handed to you everything are so horrifying. just think... everything you get for free was not free FROM someone else. WHO do you think is coming up with the $$$ ??

And just for the record: I am not in the least complaining about the level of service offered/not-offered to basic accounts. Totally agree with those who say either accept that or move on. Also agree with the viewpoint of whether one becomes a premium account or not depends largely on what one wishes to pursue in SL. As has already been pointed out, just because a person is a basic account holder doesn't mean they are not contributing to SL financially, creatively, economically, etc.

I always found 'fixed income' to be an interesting term. Aren't most of us on a 'fixed income'? My paycheck is the same every week - it does not vary, it is a Fixed amount.

Yes, your paycheck may be the same every week, but hopefully at least yearly you are up for a pay increase. Also, you have the choice to find a job that pays more money than your current job.

The term "fixed income" refers to those who rely on social security as their income. They don't get raises. They are not able to get a better paying job.

I know what it is intended to mean - I just find it to be a rather inaccurate description of what it is trying to refer to. Additionally, I work for a local government that has managed to negate any normal yearly raises that we might normally get - and has done so for a couple of years now. However, yes, I do have the option of trying to find another job that will presumably pay me more money.

Ummmmm...did you happen to see this?



I think you responded to my first post without reading my second. I am in total agreement with you re: the argument of basic accounts not getting full support.

Resolved? After being here a few weeks away from 2 years and seeing all the stuff that goes on and is common in sl I just don't see the word resolved and Lindens being put together in the same sentence and it being practical to do so.

Priority not given to many of the main things that break like tp and search as well as other stuff is common place here. Naturally things will break as they do everywhere but it seems when they break here and on those rare occasions they do repair them, for someone reason they don't stay fixed. Everyone here knows this to be true regardless who is bold enough to deny it.

Don't even get me started cause this will be an awfully long post.

I could go on and on but you get the picture if you've been here a while. Some how this word "Resolved" just doesn't look right in the same sentence as Lindens. The truth can not be hidden no matter how you want to slice it.

You are 100% right Colette every time I have used support they either say there isnt a problem when there is and after a few days of telling them there is a problem they eventually listern to you or they reply when and say they have resolved the problem when they havnt.This has happened to me every time Ive used support over 1 year of being here .And then they remove full support from basic accounts and expect me to pay for a full account just to get support that is very poor anyway.I can afford a full account easily with money I make in the game but I cant find 1 good reason too have one.

the reason to have a full account is ..

To be able to own Mainland.

Why does there need to be any other reason?

Then it's quite simple - nobody is forcing you to, Eazel. If it's not worth the money for you, don't pay it. I don't either, because it won't give me anything that I need in SL.

It sounds like the reasons others have given in this thread don't make it worthwhile to you. Definitely your choice, and I don't think any one will think any the worse of you for being a basic member, as I have said before.

I do agree with you Kalderi but I am not trying to make a point just for me I would like to help improve things for everyone.

Paying for the right to give lindens more money eg: the tier costs on top of the full account costs just dosnt cut it for me. Renting mainland with a reputable landlord beats buying mainland everytime because it also gives you the option to easily move when someone opens a club next to you or starts griefing. Then you dont have to wait tell can find a buyer for your land you can just move straight away.

And its cheaper I rent 4096m 937prims mainland 4500L$ a month

How much support does a typical webhost give to someone Not paying for any webhosting through them?

yes but free webhosts dont really benifit from giving support the lindens do because full accounts isnt the only way they get money.And not supporting someone thats paying them money threw classifieds and rent because eventually part of your rent goes to lindens just dosnt make sense.

I already give lindens more money than just the cost of a full account without having a full account.

You should recieve support from any company you pay money too it shouldnt matter how they get your money.

You give the Lindens more? Hows that?

Rent do you think you pay rent and the landlord gets to keep it all without paying a tier.


Classifieds last time I checked they wernt free.

Im sure other people can think of a few more ways lindens recieve money from basic accounts.

The benefits is that the higher level customer you are:

the faster the Lindens will tell you that your issue, which still exists,

has been resolved.
