I'm not sure where to post this, but here seems as good as any place.

I recently tried to converet a bunch of linden dollars to hard cash. I have a probelm in that i am only allowed to change $2000 a month. Is this the same for every account, or is there a way of increasing this value?

I went around in world to find an answer of my own, and talked to several people. What am i dto do i say......"Get yourself another 4-5 accounts they say".

Infact, it seemed everyone i talked to, transaction issues or not, had another account.

This got my side-tracked into thinking what a farce the latest Headline of "Second Life reaches 100,00 0 members was".

Dismissing the above distracting topic, i continued to find myself an alternative answer, but to no avail.

This time tomorrow, against my preference, i will be creating 4 extra accounts, unless someone slaps me round the face with an answer ^^.


O.......M........G.......... I've just thought. $2000 limit....Slimey marketing scam on the part of Linden Labs to take more $9.95 basic account fees off me? surely not.

Good gravey - how many L$ do you have that you're worried about a US$2000 per month limit?

Also, yes you can have that limit changed - look here.

You can only create 2 more alts on your current method of payment and verification/credit card, if I'm not mistaken.

Rumor has it that U can have 5 accounts on one credit card......Actually I know U can.

Yeah U have $2K to sell a month? Damn!

Wait tho, aren't basic accounts free now? Or was that a limited time offer that has now expired?

That's $2000 USD, not L$2000. In other words, about half a million L$.

...surely someone on this thread can pay for the rest of my college.

Sheesh. In two months I'd have a semester paid for, including books and gas.

:P

It's the initial account for one credit card. Then you can have 2 additional on the same credit card (they changed it, so there are people with 5 accounts on 1 card) for $9.95 each.

They did have a spat where basic accounts were free, but now your FIRST basic account is free.. The rest are charged at normal rate.. So if you use a different credit card each time, you can get more.. But I doubt its allowed lol..
