At present, avatars are unable to fly higher than a certain distance above the ground. Something like 80m, I think. I remember hearing a linden say that this was originally a social decision. To encourage people to interact with each other more. With the many residents we have now, interaction is clearly not an issue. The flight limit is a fairly trivial obstacle, and almost anyone with a little experience will have a flight assist on hand at all time.
All these flight assists are just a little more lag, and physics calculation for the sim. The flight limit really isn't necessary.
So I'm proposing that it simply be removed

SO firdstly, I'm proposing that it simply be removed
But there are no dout those who like the idea of a secret, (somewhat) inacessible place in the sky. SO In addition, I propose an individually settable flight limit for private island estates. which would default to no limit.

So firstly, I'm proposing that it simply be removed
