First let me start off by saying im like many people ticked off by this absurd change. I rent an OS sim for non profit use, I rented this to bring my friends together. I dont use more than 3500 prims on the sim and hardly ever have more than 8 people on the sim at any given time. I bought it to be creative and build something I can be proud of. But, putting my own losses aside, what about the landlords? LL is basically giving them the shaft when you include all the set up fees and tiers...and what is sad is, he damage is already done...they are loosing renters on a mass scale. I am loyal to those that take care of me, and my landlord has always been great. I will do what i can to help them break thier loss even after the abandonment of land, but ill be happy in knowing that money will go directly to my landlord and not LL. It is bs that LL is dropping this bomb on those that have so much invested. Land prices are already outrageous, now to add to it is dumb. LL can easily increase their profit if they maintain low prices and offer a reasonable amount of support. Ive lost all respect for LL. Ill keep my faith in those that actually understand the needs and desires like these landlords/owners.
I spend about 300.00 US a month for the things I want. Keeping my friends together is my priority. If LL wants to take that away then they loose my support and I will simply stop putting my money into the economy. I use it for rent, and also gifts, shopping, ect like most people, the bottom line is enjoyment.
