Hello, according to the blog those of us who already own islands and pay a $195 tier fee will continue on at that price even after the new prices are implimented. Is this forever? Or are there plans for this too to increase in the future once all settles down? I ask because I myself run a few sims and I know others who do as well; raising our prices to 295 would have a negative impact and effect us selling or keeping the island.... We would love to know IN ADVANCE if there are plans to increase that which was 'grandfathered'.......not 3 days in advance, but 3 months.
-Void sims- are those being raised?
Also, this was posted on the blog comments:
"My main concern right now is will this effect ownership transfers as well? I’m currently paying off a sim through a 3rd party and it will transfered to my name soon. If it gets transfered to me after this price change does that mean I will be paying $295 a month tier instead of the $195 I’m currently paying now? "
That was my first thought as well- Island transfers. I would assume with any transferred islands, the new owner would have to pay the $295. But geeze; I have lost almost all trust in LL. This is such unfairness many have invested tens of thousands on islands and you are swiping the priveleges they came with from under their feet. Not only the big spenders, but those of us with a few sims, and those of us with just one sim. We have planned out everything with the 195$ and that is no longer being offered and will prob be diminished totally as time goes on.
This is going to completely change EVERYTHING and most can barely even afford costs now- so they shouldnt own? That is how this came expanded in the first place, what happened to nursing creativity like you claim(ed) to do? For instance, if the current sim i rent on goes up in price, owner must either sell the sim or raise the prices. Him raising the price for me to rent there = me raising the price of my products. me raising the price on my products = more L bought. more L bought= more $$ for LL. If it all goes according to your plan that is.........
it seems to be, to have X set of islands at 195 and X at 295 a complex situation, and in the end it will just be easier to have all islands at 295. But you know when you keep pushing things, things break. And this is a major push.
