I am one of the many Mac users currently without Second Life despite paying for it.
So to wake up to the Second Life Herald today and read about your contemplated price increase would actually be funny if it were not so sad.

Also further proof of your anointed and specially benefitted inner circle is a real positive bender for me as well. This explains the unexplained severe spike in mainland sim auction prices over the last 2 weeks, insider trading?
You want more money for what? To improve what you have already promised? What we already pay for?
When the upgrades do not actually knock people off, add 3 bugs for everyone that is fixed or throttle back an existing ability or performance level, it has been long time since I have seen an improvement or some new ability or quality of experience.
The group and covenant improvements which I was genuinely excited about quickly faded when the complicated and arcane interface of the group's window had no documentation and the covenant abilities added to the two-tiered class system that is island versus mainland.
Your fancy login screen which has broke the login for many Mac paying clients was, at best, curious eye candy. Where is a better 3D build interface, where is upgraded Havoc, where is MONO, where is more objects per sim or more avatars? Where is less sims per server?
For that matter, where is anything that would add value and increase the likely chance that someone would pay more?
