Unverified accounts. A love of them.

Looking through the forums all I see is complaining from residents about unverified accounts. I just wanted to thank LL. I may not have been around that long even though I have known of the game for some time and there is a reason for that. I'll be damned if i'm going to pay for a game without being able to check it out first. If it was not for the open registration I would have never of started. I am now a paying customer and many, many people I have met have only become paying customers because we were able to jump right in and give this amazing world a shot without opening our purses/wallets and forking over vital info for something we may not even enjoy. I have met tons of unverified people from all over the world that have made my SL days so much brighter. Granted there are some that are there merely to piss off the people that truly enjoy our new home but they are honestly far and few between. This is a formal thank you for putting your trust in us and allowing us at first cynics a chance to fly through the clouds and gaze down in wonder at human creativity.

Just wanted to share with you, when I joined over 2 years ago I had to provide payment info to join, but I got a 7 day free trial. After the 7 days we were asked if we wanted to become premium or basic members. I never made it that far, I signed up for my basic account after just 2 days of my trial. In anycase, I just wanted to let you know that before the open registration started, it was possible to try the game for a week before having to pay.

The complaints are generally to the fact that though some people do benefit from the open registration, especially those from smaller countries and those who don't have credit cards, the option is being MAJORLY abused by griefers causing the grid to have to be taken down daily. It's just not worth it

Merged in a response/bump.


Thanks for your comments Paneia.
