If the Lindens had even a single lick of sense, Sid's phone would be ringing right now.
I don't think they can afford me.
But imagine: Sid Nagy -----> Clueless Linden. 😂 nah.

Edit to add:
The phone just rang a minute ago.
But it was the Microsoft calling (from India I guess) about my windows. I answered I already have renovated them recently.

LL has announced that they will roll out their premium plus this year.
What would it take for you to even consider to shell out more for a premium plus account?

For me it would be a few of these options (not necessarily all in one package):

  • The possibility to buy homestead(s) directly from Linden Lab without the need to have a full sim first.
    Not that the tier for such a homestead should be included in the Premium Plus package, but only the possibility to do so.

  • Slightly better L$ buying rates than non Premium Plus users or a higher stipend.

  • A 4096 plot included on the mainland.

  • or 4096 Bellisseria plot with exclusive themed houses. And the possibility to open up shop there.
And of course it has to be financially interesting to become a Premium Plus member.
Only more fees won't do it.
And please no LL freebie gifts as incentives.

Yup, pretty much those, with maybe that new name change system included in the pack as well. Definitely the homestead and the 4096m² of mainland.

Thanks Free It's funny that it "may be delayed" because it was originally announced in 2019, to roll out in 2020, so it's definitely very delayed.

It will only be a fact after they have implemented it.
I sure hope that the people at LL don't forget to change their underwear as easily as they forget their plans for the future.

It may not exist after Linden Lab claims to have implemented it.

LL=delayed, than rushed and buggy and than completely ignoring the needed repairs.
Four for the price of one.

And we are still happy like that dog with only one toy.


Aw you remembered me posting that meme years ago. You are so sweet.

Gogo got the skinny on Premium Plus and it is, quite frankly, garbage.


Gogolita said:
I went to SL19B to meet the Lindens! Patch Linden gave an exciting interview with hints about the upcoming Premium Plus membership, which will be available on June 23rd, 2022. At first glance, it appears that nearly all of the benefits will be doubled, but the cost will be TRIPLED. Premium Plus will be $29.99 per month or $299 USD/per year. For 30 days, the introductory price will be $24.99 per month or $249 USD/per year.
Hard pass.

Umm no I was also there, Gogo is mistaken, the standard yearly price is $249, that's not an introductory price. only the monthlies get a first month discount of $24.99 then $29.99 after. People who are already yearly premium get pro-rated. That said, it all depends on whether you want more than one Bellisserian home or need more group slots on one avatar. Also free texture/animation/sound uploads, and phone support. There will be a faq in the next few days that will go into detail.

Thing is, its just not worth that much for what they are giving, and if they don't double older stipends.

the 300's go to 600, that we know. Patch didn't know about the Oldbie Elite with the 500/400 L$ stipends. He said he'd check and that info will probably be in any blog post or faq.

It's still a pass for me. They may not be tripling the price but the value is not there for me at that rate. If I was constantly uploading things as a creator, it would be different, perhaps. But that's not me, so... swerve.

If you are a seriously hardcore creator, it MIGHT be worthwhile for the free uploads.

Except Uploads are 10L$. There is roughly a $50 difference between this amd simply having a second account (which gets you most of the other benefits, for less).

So lets say its 250L$/$1USD, which is 25 uploaded textures. Unless you are uploading 1250 textures a year, which you might be if you are Blueberry level creator, its not really worh while.

Mesh uploads can cost more than 10L, but still, it's quite a difference that is not worth it to me. I can upload for free all I want in the beta grid, and then do the final upload here.

True, but Indon't think Mesh uploads are free. I believe there might be a discount on it from what I saw.

If premium-plus cost more than twice of regular premium it'd make more sense to just go regular premium on multiple accounts. Last time I had a premium is was to play around with the newest Linden Homes, Belle... Bela.... whatever. Since the last price hike on regular premium accounts I've felt more inclined to rent parcels from the lesser evil landlords.
