Can someone who's been here for a while be so kind as to answer a few of these?

- Which came first: trading L$ for US$, or v1.2?

- How much was "prim upkeep" pre-1.2?

- How much were stipends at that point?

- Was the "standard" exchange rate of L$150/US$1 ever actually in force, and what was the state of the economy at the time?

L$5000 used to get you US$24 in 2004

Stipends havn't changed

Prims have gone with land since V1.1 I believe

Prior to that, you could use as many prims as you wanted, and you would be "taxed" according to how many prims you used.

Trading L$ for US$ came around the first half of 2004 with IGE.com and Gamersopenmarket.com

LL opened the lindex last year to take over the currency trading.

Anything I missed?
