+++Dragging the Economy discussion from the scripting thread+++
Is there a set date when stipends are released? It may be good to know, so I can budget accordingly.
Also, is there a set formula to follow when trying to calculate what my charges will be for using translucent and lighted objects?

An idea: This may go under the 'Features' thread but... how about a view within the map or some other function (maybe like the 'beam from the sky' on a selected person or place) that, when selected, highlights all the items that count against my $$$. That way if I create an item and lose it somehow, I will be able to find it again and delete it to get my $ back. It may help clean up some of the litter.
By the way.. someone's costly guitar is resting at the foot of my hill.

lighted objects vary in price based on how much light they give off. how much light they give off is governed by the volume of the object .When you view an object you can see how much it will cost to maintain by looking at the leftmost tab of the expanded create menu (general I think?)

from my experience I'd say that you get your stipend 7 days after your entrance to the world, and every 7 days thereafter.

And yeah, we've been asking for a list of what we own for a while. I think that peter mentioned something about next version....

I dunno, time flies when you're having fun, right - And since I just got my stipend I really feel the loss of my trash =).

the a while was more a reference to it being in the old forums than anything else, but since those posts never made it over it made sense to mention that linden staff were already on it.
