As has been stated before, we, the residents, demand to know the following:

WHY were some people valued beyond others and allowed access to privileged information not shared with the entire user base until later?

WHO, and this is the big one, WHO was told about the tier increase. NAMES, and nothing short of it will suffice. Don't give me bullshit about "privacy." We already know who was given the information because we've watched them unfairly take advantage of other users with it; it's up to you to save face by admitting this fact.

WHEN were these residents told of the impending change? Dates, times, and methods of communication. How well in advance did some players know about this before others? Did you call them? Did you have a conference on the subject? Email invitations?

HOW do other residents get onto this "privileged" list? My current account has been active since 10/2004. I wasn't sent a notice about this, and I've been a long-time content creator. I wasn't invited to participate in this "round table." Why? Why was I kept off, and others who haven't been around as long as I have been given insider information? Is it based on the amount of land you hold, or the amount of L$ you exchange a month?

You need to start talking. You've done a bad thing and nothing short of absolute honesty and transparency is going to save you guys. Keep that in mind before you decide to ignore this or lash out at people asking questions.
