How about less of an increase? $50.00 a sim increase is quite a hit. How about $25.00 a sim? Lindens, you are hitting us HARD. Please reconsider increasing that much.
I am not a professional in this business, but being down here in the trenches I am convinced you are about to lose many, many sim owners and their payments. So many of us are just working Joes, Lindens, who love SL, love owning a piece of it, but cannot afford what you are demanding. I am not alone in asking that you find another way to deal with the problems with open space sims other than destroying the possibility of having one by such an abrupt increase. The increase is such a hard hit, it makes me wonder if you are simply trying to phase out open space sims. If that is what you are doing, then say so. Stop selling them if you like, but support the ones already there.
The abrupt and seemingly cruel increase is not the only freezing slap in our faces, Lindens. The no grandfathering of presently owned OS's leaves so many of us just speechless. I am convinced you are creating a huge loss of income, and a huge increase of distrust for SL.
To those who post replies to this humble thread: Please respond respectfully. Anger, cursing, and insults probably will not sway the Lindens.
