I just upgraded to premium a little over a week ago, and now they cut stipends in half. WTF I was promised 1000L a week now I get 500L a week?!

This isn't very cool.

Who promised 1000 a week? It's been 500/week for awhile now.

It said 1000L a week when i signed up. It was on the chart of what features you got when you upgraded to premium.

AFAIK It's been L$500/wk for the last two years. The only thing LL's adjusted has been the bonus; which was cut in half about 6 months back.

Actually, for me the stipend has *always* been 500 a week - the bonuses for behavior ratings and what-not varied, and were removed months ago.

Premium is standard L$500/week, there has been no cutting in half. :)

Yes Disillusion there is a L$1000 bonus upon signing up, exactly as you said, but it's given once.

You may have confused the initial $1000L sign up bonus with the weekly stipend.

It is all explained on this page:

Your not reffering to "L$1000 Premium Bonus: 3 " are you? If so -- that's a one-off-thing. At time of signup.

If I thought it was going to be an issue I would have saved the page, but I didn't forsee it changing. I'm not just making it up though, it wasn't the bonus I was talking about, it was right where the 500L is on the page now.

I have an idea. Ask on Second Life Answers. :)
