Tier clarification?

This was said at the concierge meeting today:

"Zee Linden: We will not raise the $195 if you continue to own your server throughout 2007 for all private island regions currently owned and bought now. If you transfer that region, after Feb 1st we may decide we need to raise the price upon transfer. Sorry for the confusion on that point. If you keep owning your island, we won’t raise your price. If you transfer it between now and Feb 1st to someone else they will not pay more throughout 2007. If you transfer it after Feb 1st, we may decide and will announce with enough time for you to react that we need to raise the price for the person the grandfathered region goes to. Keep your server keep your price."

I just want to make sure on this. Is this what the above is saying:

- if I keep my island atleast throughout 2007 I will -never- have to pay more than a 195 tier fee.

- if i transfer the island before feb 1st 2007 the new owner will remain at the 197 tier fee -atleast- for the year of 2007. after 2007 is up this person -may- have to pay a higher tier fee.

- however, if i transfer the island after feb 1st 2007 the person who i transferred the island to -may- end up having to pay a higher tier rate at some point.


- But as for me, if i keep it -atleast- throughout the year 2007 its mine at 197 tier fee forever. "Keep your server keep your price" ....is that what this means?

Yes! If you keep your island you will not pay more than the current fee through 2007, after which point fees may be raised.

If you transfer before Feb 1st, the new owner will be in the same position. After Feb 1st we many review this policy in regards to transfers but until then the new owner can lock in the current price.

Hope that helps, it confuses even me
