just wondering what people would think (if it would even be possible) of having some kind of system set up to reward paying users when the system unexpectedly goes down. but to save the lindens from giving EVERYONE something, only have it triggered if you're online when the system goes down, or have it triggered if you try to log in when it's down.
I was thinking maybe have a points system, where it tallies up the number of times this has happened, and at a certain number of times reward users with something of some significance.. maybe a free month, or free 512m of land allowed in their tier.. something like that. I'd say it could be something in-game as well, but, the only thing I'd think people would go for is L$, which might be ok too (just not my preference)
I'd almost feel greedy posting this, but, with any other business, if you pay for something and don't get the service expected, you generally could get something in return. it'd keep people from quitting SL (or dropping to the basic account) so quick as well, I'd expect.. it could also be a way of helping the programmers to get things right before putting out a release, or keeping better tabs on server status and maintenance..
