Premium plus account.

[Monica Dream]

5 step process on why we can't have nice things:

1. Sign bot up to premium plus
2. Create inworld vendor for prepayment/credits @5L per texture
3. Create online upload portal for textures bot will upload and pass to payee
4. Profit
5. Linden Lab removes free texture uploads

Soooo uhm... where do I advertise my 5L per texture upload service while the money is still good?

Please please please call the portal the Texture Upload Gnome.

 

[Sid]

Well, if mesh upload gets included, it could be a 'maybe'.
For now, for me the plus offering is a 'no thanks'.

 

[Tirellia]

It's hugely over priced. A big no thank you from me. This would have been a great opportunity to have a Premium Light at $50, Premium at $90 and Premium Extra Super Plus at $150 with sufficient distinction to make any of them worth having. The jump from $72 to $99 was enough to squish my plans to buy three more premium accounts. I'll stick with one which is just barely worthwhile.

I agree with most of the thoughts in this thread -

More perks!!! - Personally I'd love more revolving about land... would be amazing. I've been on SL too long and would never shell out the initial 300-500 bucks for sim ownership + whatever high monthly fee after that? Technology has improved so much since the 'old days' of SL, and its hard to believe it costs LL that much for server space - but I'm talking out of my ass with no experience in the field so just a personal opinion.

Anyway! Yeah - land perks, or even expanded housing space, upload perks, creator perks... I dont know... but something needs to be updated to justify the high cost.

Yeah, I find the operating cost to be really nuts. I get that it would be more, because of support and reliability and potentially larger load, but I can run a dozen regions of OpenSIM on a $10/month VPS.

One "official" sim feels like it should not be anywhere near the cost they are charging.

Naughty kitty suggestion:

Throw in Adult Lindenhomes with banlines and double prims and I'm sold. Ya know? Like Horizons - just without the land scalpers...

 

[Noodles]

No ban lines!

Double prims I would probably pay a little extra for, even if it were limited to Linden Home parcels.

 

[Free]

No ban lines!

That's a Linden's account perk.

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

Immunity to teleport home and ejection from parcel, security orbs are worse than ban lines. I can't believe LL approves of those things.

I never understood how that is done in the first place. Do you know?

LSL

LSL

Sure. But I mean, how? Unless they're just using code to teleport back instantly.

 

[Fionalein]

I didin't look into the function but AFAIK it only works if script item is deeded to land group.

Is group deeding not a group permission? Anyone in the group can always do it? It's an oversight either way - on LL if it's not a permission and on group owners if it is.

I think Argent meant those as perks for Premium Plus.

rezzing is a group permission though - needs rezzing and deeding

Basically. Put llUnSit and llTeleportAgent or llEjectFromLand in the sensor() code or a nauseatingly small timer kicked off from the sensor code.

Or do you mean how was Linden Labs convinced to accept "security" shit instead of saying "if you make or sell these things we're gonna treat you like a griefer because you are"? Prokofy Neva and his ilks.

Or do you mean how do you keep them from effecting you? You can't. That's why I was proposing it as a Premium Plus bonus that would actually be worth something. I might pay for it for a while to troll Prokalikes.

LL allows a lot of griefing. Voodoo is effectively RedZone 2.0 and still around...

which gives me another selling point: if LL offers actual GDPR protection from 3rd party offenders I'm in

Also fits under the "why the fuck do they listen to terrible people like Prok" category.
