still haven't got mine.
isn't this the third stipend cockup in a row now?


And if the pattern follows that of previous years, it will continue for the next three weeks.

And yeah, I got mine.

About 4 or 5 months ago I called them about changing my payment method.........got through almost immediately (not more than 2 minutes on hold).

Well, guess what, its late again ....

My main account (this one) who's born date is in 2006, got his stipend, my alt born in 2008 has not. I guess since their "upgrade" to the new server location this past month, its taking a lot longer to process the stipends. Why that should be, I have no idea, unless the ping time increased a whole lot cause the equipment is not in the same location any more. Or perhaps the process still points to the *old* IP address, and has to re-discover the correct new location 60,000 times (once for each premium account lookup).

So, not a total fail today, but I suspect it will be in rez date order, or perhaps by stipend groups (500, 400, 300 per week) and alphabetically within the groups, rather than strictly by born dates, and it will be slow to arrive like the past few weeks.

I haven't gotten mine yet :(.

(I think I went premium in June-July '06)

So much for my theory :-). Still waiting on my alt from 2008 also.

Of course, expecting things to be on time when they dont even know what day it is would be pretty optimistic:

"Posted by Status Desk on February 2nd, 2010 at 06:20 am PST

As we did last week, we’ll be performing up to three hours of network maintenance tomorrow, 2 Feb, beginning at 6 a.m."

(Posted on 2Feb, saying tomorrow is 2Feb, umm, yeah :-)

Didn't get mine, submitted a ticket. The wanted to know:

What is your real name?
What is your date of birth?
What is the e-mail address that you have registered on your account?
What is your pet's name?
How many L$ do you have on your account?
Can you please tell me the date that the stipend should have been paid?

That last one almost made me pee.

tch, late again on both accounts.

My year's membership is due on one. I wonder if they'll let me delay it a couple of days?

Last week I did a ticket about the issue. There was a ticket type to find after clicking some (hm, english?) formfields, I think it was under "Billing & Transactions", "Transactions with Linden Lab" and then "Stipend" which was the fitting ticket type about stipends. So, they asked me nothing, answered within an hour and explained that there was a glitch and that they would work on it. An hour later I got my stipends for my three pemiums.

But yes, today its late again. Still no stipends - again - so far. i think I do no ticket this time, only if I see no stipends until tomorrow midnight.

How can something be late when it's due on a specific day or date at 12:01 am on that day? It's due today........there is still 12 hours until the stipend is late. Sort of like if you habitually paid your CC bill two days early but then you one pay period (or even several in a row) you paid on the due date............and the CC company calls you up hounding you for your late payment.

Peggy, it's not actually the lack of the stipend that bugs the crap out of me. It's the fact that LL has their heads so far up their butts that they can't bother posting a status blog about it and save themselves and us some grief.

Yeah. I'm beyond annoyed with LL at this point. It's like they don't care about the residents anymore.
