On Wednesday,
Linden Lab announced that in addition to their Premium account price hikes and increasing the fees to cash out Linden dollars, they were cutting back the number of groups residents with basic accounts could have. The residents reacted quite negatively, more than a few calling the Lindens saying that more groups per resident was taxing the system either highly exaggerated, or outright false. Finally, the Lab partially relented. Less than two hours ago on the official blogs, the
Lab announced that due to the "strong and convincing feedback from many in our community," they were cancelling the cuts for basic account group limits.
... many Residents have shared how they rely heavily on Groups to stay informed about new product releases as Merchants use this feature to regularly communicate news and updates to their customers, and how much Groups are used for keeping communities active.
We hear your concerns and, as a result, Group Membership limits for Basic Residents will NOT be reduced as part of our Premium Membership changes rolling out on June 24.
The other parts of the May 29 announcement, notably the Premium account price increases and the cashing out fees doubling, remain the same.
I am so relieved omg!

Lindens labs are fools. I know personally of quite a few of the paying people that have decided to drop their paid accounts over this.
