Well I'm sitting on the fence, and crunching numbers... I own a full sim that is attached to dark role play community of 18 sims, and own an OS next to my best friend's. Was I shocked when he im'd me yesterday to tell me of the increase in tiers, Oh yeah. I am still not sure what I am going to do about our OS. I left beautiful land that I had on Pepita estates with one of the best Landlords in SL to move to my open sim, 2 months ago, why beacuse of course the tiers were cheaper for more land. Now the tiers will be higher, and sadly of course my land is gone on Pepita Estates. And sadly to say if I have to make a choice the Open sim will go.
In my ideal cyberspace world it would all work out. Do I agree with the changes in tiers no.
If Open sims are causing so much lag problems, and not being used properly. Then for a time stop selling them. oops did I say that .....
At this point I"m hanging in till the end of year and to see how all this works out, with the hope that Lindens either grandfather people, or find a different way to deal with it. In and ideal world they would decide to not up the tiers on OS ... but that in an ideal world .
