Lately I've been considering membership in SL......
How many of you are members?
I can't decide if it's really the way to go. When I was searching for a house I went so far as calculating the monthly membership fee vs. the average monthly cost of the homes I was looking at. I'm still renting my skybox so I guess you know what my findings were!
What are the other perks? The prim limits for the houses aren't bad...better than what I have now. A weekly allowance isn't bad either especially considering I've spent the last few months investing in the major purchases. I wonder what this adults only continent, "Zindra" is like?
I'm a bit of a commitment phobe (to say the least!) so this is a major decision for me. *winks*
Are you a member?
Let me know what you think!
Blessings,

I decided to become a member because I was considering buying land. (You have to be in order to own land). This would allow me to control the estate more and have more prim allowance.
ReplyDeleteI recently came home to find my land had changed. The others in the community had voted to have snow for the holidays without my knowledge. While I love snow, this "interesting" texture was a mix of grassy, twig ridden, and half melted drifts. I had to put out prim snow drifts to cover it so I could bear to come home and look at my land until February.
Also, renting store spaces is a bit tricky as well because of the limited prim allowance. I put up vendors to be able to scroll through multiple items, but that limits what customers can see right when they walk into the store.
If I got my own sim, this would alleviate both concerns. It's a bit pricier than I hoped though. I have been going to land ownership classes held by NCI and reading a lot online, but I am still not sure how I want to proceed. I want to make the commitment, but I want to make sure it is the right one to make! I'm such a "what if" thinker...
The L$300 is a nice bonus with the membership, but I barely notice it because I buy so much! hehe

Now you know how us "northern-ers" feel when someone decides to dump snow on us without thinking to ask! ;) Hehehehehe. That's terrible!
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen the grassy, twig ridden half melted ground cover you speak of. I'm sure you've managed to make it look lovely! As I look out the window at the RL equivalent, I wish I could whip up something to cover it too! LOL
I need to look into these classes at NCI...you've mentioned it before. Time to get my learn on! :)
So many things to consider, hey? I never understood the "browse" function in retail spaces but it makes total sense now that you mention the prim limit. I can see how that would be restricting!
Land ownership seems to be big biz and I really know nothing about it...
I'll prolly come to you with some questions soon so be prepared! LOL
