They have about 5.000 mainland sims and fixed cost of approx 900.000 USD per year for them. The revenue they get from them if they are 100% occupied is 11.7 Mio USD per year so a gross profit of 10.8 Mio USD per year.
If mainland is only occupied by 50% their gross profit goes down to 4.9 Mio USD per year, a loss of 5.9 Mio per year . For every 10% mainland which is not occupied they loose 1.2 Mio USD profit per year.
As people loved OS so much they moved from mainland and linden has the fixed cost for the empty land and no revenue. You all know that the population really didn’t raise so much since they started to sell OS, so there must been a big shift from mainland to OS, I guess at least 20%, so about 2.4 Mio gross profit per year and prolly raising every month.
So I guess they want to stop that and cover the loss they have from mainland with the price increase. The so called “abuse” is just a lie to us as they don’t want to tell us the truth.

I am not sure if OS sims has caused a big exodus from mainland, some people love living amongst the mess there, others have always rented on private estates.
I still have my 1/4 sim on mainland for my shop and just moved from a parcel on a full estate island onto an OS sim. If mainland has been suffering that much, why do they keep adding to it when the customers are letting them know they prefer the privacy and ability to have a decent landscape?
Maybe this would be the time to maybe stop adding mainland and start working on pleasing the customers more. I was about to add a second OS sim to my home as love the space and privacy, but no way would I spend that amount of money to live in the shambles of mainland having laggy ugly clubs spring up alongside and shops full of campers on the other. Who is really abusing the resources?

Who is really abusing the resources? There been about 10.000 OS sims added since they started to sell them standalone and the population really didn't go up that much, so I guess it did have an impact. Many people are using them to have their mainshop on it. |
