Here's praying this reaches the Lindens. I'm not a sim owner myself, I live on the mainland on the same land I moved into when I first joined SL in 2004. But I think this OS price hike is something that's a major problem for a lot of people. Linden Labs, perhaps instead of a price hike, would it be possible to have two different types of OS sims? The more expensive ones that can handle a heavier load of abuse, and the ones priced as they are now, but with stricter enforcement on prim and traffic loads? Please consider this. I know a lot of people are very upset on the declaration for the proposed price increase. The way it's planned now, the few will suffer because of the mistakes of others. Surely not everyone abuses the OS sims, there must be some who'd be put out over this who haven't abused them and used them as you intended.
