It's not uncommon to let large customers know in advance of significant changes to policies and features. In this case developers, including agencies, long time SL residents

How old does a long time resident have to be? 2 years? Someone younger than me was notified, yet myself and 90% of the community was not.
Also, what constitutes a community builder? People who you think should know?

From: someone
Effective immediately all orders placed outside of the Land store (by phone or email) will be charged at the new price.No orders placed since the land store was taken down on Friday will be accepted.

So if you were one of those few to be lucky enough to know about the price upping, and you emailed about getting an island before the announcement, you would recieve it at the old price?

I hope not because then this:
From: someone
It's important to note that this knowledge did not allow them to purchase any regions to the disadvantage of other Residents.
would be a lie.

Edit: Also, when was this annouced to your "developers, including agencies, long time SL residents, and community builders?"

Edit 2: Are void sims the same price?
