Will you raise new Private Island Purchase Costs again?

I see that the price of 3/4 of a mainland sim is US$3,750.00. Last time I looked, that was more than a Private Island. It would seem to me that a Private Island should cost more than that 3/4 mainland sim. Perhaps you would want to consider raising the price to US$5,000.00 to purchase a Private Island, to keep it ahead of the curve.

Also, I would like to point out that the more m^2 the land on the mainland sims, the more expensive it becomes per m^2. Perhaps it is just a result of the bubble, but this means that you may wish to raise the Private Island prices to US$6,000.00 or US$7,000.00 so that people who buy them know they are getting something really special, not some mainland garbage.

I'd love to hear back from you on this, and to know when it will happen. :)

I believe that the cost increase of private islands was related primarily to operational costs, and although I don't believe we have any plans to increase the prices again anytime soon, significant increases in the cost to host the servers (should, say, server prices shoot through the roof for some reason) could be reflected in sim prices. But Zee has the final word on that sort of thing...you don't want me doing the numbers ;)
