Ban anything over 50 x 50 or 100 x 100 but how about a prim increase to compensate?
Recently everthing we do seems to be costing more for less assuming we can even do it with crashes and lag….give something back?

So

Whilst I very much appreciate that there is actually a clear question from you towards the community, i am not sure what the agenda behind this question is.

Anyhoo, considering the de facto price increase (VAT) for a large number of residents, it would be de facto another hidden price increase for a very large number of residents. It´s simple math if you think about it. On parcels over 10000 or 20000 in size, you can cut down the prim count by 2 or 3, which brings an enormus potential for using prims on the entertainment side of things. Or simply not having to waste 10 prims for a 100×10 wall if 1 would do.

I think this point has been largely neglected in the other blog, therefore just to point out the obvious again. We don´t really pay tier per square meters. It´s the tier per prim that worries me most. You could do basically anything with a 512m parcel if the prim count is unlimited.

Now, I am sorry for everyone who suffered from whatever kind of griefing. There are plenty of ways out there on the grid, to make peoples secondlifes digital hell. But to punish everyone now who is simply using the (economic) advantages of these oversize prims would yet be another hit against peoples wallets.

I remember what use i could make of 1024m, not knowing of the presence of oversize prims…Nowadays, these 234 prims simply wouldn´t be worthwhile buying land. I´d probably need up to a whole sim where i now need only half one.

Looking at the upcoming introduction of IDV, which will cost sl between 25 & 75% of its already shrunk user base, then a removal of oversize prims but be the definete killer (if IDV not already is - not sure you realise this, but many many people don´t know what it is and are not expecting it)

I have no idea if that´s technically doable…But may be 2 suggestions

Currently my tier per sqm goes down the more i own. Now change that from tier per sqm to tier per prim. At least worthwhile thinking about a few models.

On the other hand, limiting size seems not a bad idea. It doubt it would hurt a lot of people if no prim may be larger than a sim. I think it should still be doable to get along with max 100 each side. Personal preference of course. If you set the max to let say 20 each, then i presume the prim count of a lot of people will be x 1,5 or x 2 all over sudden. Probably hitting the people with the rather large parcels or entire sims.

You should really consider the above. Removing the oversize prims or limiting them to harsh, will not result in people buying more land to compensate. Surely not at the fragile state sl is currently at and with the prospects of IDV making any form of running a business in sl totally pointless.

Kind Regards

We ‘Europeans’ now pay an unfair premium to use SL yet the connection blog is closed. You want ‘Lights on’ …well enable comments so we can compare notes and know that systems seem to be ‘go’ again.
All the bells, whistles and tutorials are worth diddly squat if we can’t LOG ON, STAY ON, TP, BUILD and basically navigate in SL.. That little bit of rusty wire crossing the atlantic seabed called broadband is no excuse for a substandard service charged at 15%+ more….

If I may request, you should post a SL URL on the blog so we can visit the places you do your “remotes” from. They look cool.

But for many of us, videos are not the most practical mean for this. It takes time to look, we can’t take notes, and speech could be very difficult to understand for non-native english speakers.

OK, videos can be cool for other persons, this is a matter of personnal taste, not to be discussed. But please:

1) provide the relevant info in a text
2) provide a link to the place where more info can be found. The support site is large, and sometimes it takes much time to find a tip or a reply to a question.
