Two things have happened recently which are making it impossible for me to continue to use SL:
1. The credit card I've used for the past few months has suddenly stopped working (works for everything but SL!)
2. The new computer I have is too slow to allow me to justify spending £40 a month playing with a 1fps slideshow.
So with immediate effect, I am tiering down and my land is for sale cheap!

I might stay as Basic, but I have tier fees due in a couple of days and like I say, the card's stopped working (even though I have several hundred pounds in the account) and I'm likely to be banned shortly. |

For something you've done or are about to do? For using SL on an Electron card that's stopped working. |

Electron cards suck UBER donkey ballz It's bloody ridiculous, because I'm financially OK - but all I get out of SL is "there was a problem authorising this card." |

As my Second Life seemingly lurches from one crisis to another with not a moment's rest or enjoyment, I have decided to end it. When it's not griefers, it's money, when it's not money, it's computer crashes; it's just not worth it.
I'm off home in the next few months, and need all the money I can get. It's been fun here, but I just cannot justify this. |

Sorry to see you go Charlotte, we didn't always see eye to eye, but I am glad we got a chance to talk about it and hang out for a bit in-world. Take care.

I deal with e-commerce in RL and recently Visa Electron cards stopped being processed as normal online. It appears that you now have to have them seperately authorised to be able to use them online so I'd suggest talking to your card issuer to get this activated. At least this is what I've been able to find out since it started happening a couple of weeks ago to several clients I work with.

I hope you can come back. If so, take the money you make from selling your land and live in Meins. You'll have enough money to live there a long time!

A new account with a Switch card that I use for everything, and an empty account with Electron for, erm... SL. It's not important enough to maintain two bank accounts for! |

It's not important enough to maintain two bank accounts for! Well then why not read the posts I've made and contact your Electron issuer? It appears that you just need to have it reactivated for online transactions. |
