Mega land owner ?

Submitted by Bart Heart on Wed, 04/09/2008 - 14:19.

I have always wondered if I was a mega land owner or not. What are the qualifications to be a "Mega Land" owner?

Well if I am a "Mega Land" owner. I only have one complaint. If they are going to lower the price, why not keep it where it is, and use that extra money and make the grid stable? I guess that is a question more then a complaint. My question was answered at by Jack Linden at his office hours. Jack Linden: well, grid stability isn't directly tied to revenues, but charging more than is fair so that we can spend more was an option, but didn't seem to the the rightone to us.

We like to call Second Life®, Web 2.0 or the 3D internet. So just like the internet, most rent server space from a hosting provider. And pay "tier" or a monthly charge for that service. Linden Lab® is nothing more then a hosting company that proved server space inside of Second Life®.

See the way I look at it:
You do not "own" anything when you buy a sim. You do not own the server. The money is a set up fee or as I call it activation fee to use that server / sim. Just like if you activate phone service, cable TV or internet service. Then you pay a month fee "tier" for the service.
