Why werent the lindens prepared for this?

With the upcoming price increase on islands, why were the lindens not prepared for all those buying islands before the rates went up? For those of us who have purchased islands we will still have to pay tier fees on somthing we dont even have yet. As well as loose out on our clubs ect.. while we wait the extra few weeks instead of the normal 7 business days..
I think you should let folks know ahead of time the wait will be longer than 7 business days.
Its only fair to those of us who have sold our other land and temp closed our business while we wait for our island.

The problem was that information regarding new pricing was leaked and before the land store was closed some people took the opportunity to lock in the old rates. In order to be fair to everyone, the old rates were offered for a limited time, creating the demand for servers we now experience. We're sorry that this resulted in the situation in which you find yourself.
