The only RIGHT and FAIR thing for LL to do is to grandfather the existing OS sims, and put their new policies on any new purchases, and actually target those truly abusing their sims with 40 avs and thousands of scripts. I think every single one of us OS owners would be good with that.

My signature will repeat this until the day I abandon my OS sim.

Well grandfathering should have been the first step whilst they worked out a technical solution. They could have raised the other prices by now if they'd done that.

I agree wholeheartedly. Even under the new extended timeline, the tier increase to $125 is way out of line.

I can't help but think that the way LL went about this was strategic: Announce a draconian tier increase, then respond to the anticipated ballyhoo from customers by postponing the full increase by 6 months.

LL is tossing us a bone, one with no meat and not much marrow left.
