the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist

There was a strange moment tonight at Jack Linden's office hour, it was all going fairly peacefully, everything seemed fine and then someone asked a pertinent question, and we didn't get a straight answer, which left us with more questions than answers. The long and the short of it is that Linden Lab are upto something with 75-80 estates but they won't tell us what they're upto because it's all beta testing, allegedly.

The pertinent question came from Equinox Pinion: "Jack, how can Dreamland still put grandfathered homesteads on the grid..did you make a special deal with them?"

Then before Jack could answer, a follow up comment from Driftwood Miles: "Over 150 Homesteads dumped onto the grid . All at Grandfathered rates."

Interesting stuff, is this happening? Are Dreamland getting a deal, well we don't know, Jack was vague: "Equinox, as you know I can't comment on specific residents and what they choose to sell or not sell. We've a number of programs in place and in the works (we mentioned this in a blog post a while ago), to help estates. Some of those are still being defined, some are further on. In time we want all estates to get additional benefits and plans that allow them to grow more easily etc"
