I need to know something I think this is one of the points everyone is trying to make......
The point here is that the level of service we are getting RIGHT NOW!!
Is NOT WORTH what we are already paying and now we are being asked to pay more in a few months maybe........ What are you going to do to make service on the grid more stable then it is right now??? Please tell me things are in the pipeline for customer service as well. I am ok with price going up if I feel the level of serivce is going to be there with it. Right now I don't feel like we are getting good serivce at our current price level let alone if it keeps going up and seerivce stays where its at. The fee hike on Islands IS RELATED to specific improvements in that the current level of preformance is not worth what we are paying now.... See the point here Lindens? You can't charge $295 a month for an island use fee when the grid is down for much of every other week end as it was in the 1st part of OCT.
Zeelinden says >>>>1. It has yet to be explained what increase in service one gets from the 51% hike in the fee. Besides a server that saves your company money, what can we expect in regards to less lag, more AVs per sim, faster texture loads, fewer crashes, etc.?
"The hike in fee is unrelated to any specific improvements to the current level of performance. Private Island regions have more features and control than a mainland region & therefore they probably always should have been priced differently. This increase is a recognition of the increase value that Private Islands provide to residents.
That said, we are constantly improving the client and the sim and not increasing the price, but as those things come into the code on our regular release schedule every two weeks, we haven’t changed pricing for any of the improvements that have been implemented in the last year."
