My estimate was that at the 66% price rise, <a href="http://www.vintfalken.com/page/2/?s=numbers" rel="nofollow">5200 voids may disappear before Linden Lab will notice even a single drop in revenue</a>. But of course, due to conversion (-4 voids = 1 full sim), they may now loose more before they feel the hit. Pfff... . The Jira issue has 4102 votes by now (a record?) and still no sign of info on the script limitations. Bah! And if Miss Tateru was right, and they are still behind on processing ‘decommissions” …. .

That’s a 15% decrease in two months. No wonder they want to make it up. *sighs*

Does that translate as “We really, really, really don’t want you to see the numbers on January 5th 2009″?

Second Life is not a roleplay game, not a flight simulator, not a shooter. Indeed, not much of anything at all. It might have been many things, but is not. The world's most expensive chat room. Shouldn't a 'platform' have something standing on it? Checkout time. Second Life is not a roleplay game, not a flight simulator, not a shooter. Indeed, not much of anything at all.

I applauded the irony, she repeated she was _really_ serious. (And that lindens are way behind on ‘processing’.)

But no, I was serious, Vint. Last I heard they were *way* behind on the processing.

So it will stay ‘looking forward to get good numbers ASAP, until we have, we do it with these, and that means a drop of 14% in private owned land mass compared to end of October.
