EOTB: "Membership Mania" Offering Higher Group Limit, More Perks For Upgraded Accounts

 
 
On Monday February 10, Linden Lab announced their "Membership Mania" week. Everybody, basic accounts included, is getting higher group limits. And there's now more perks for upgraded accounts, including a few Linden Home types available for Plus.
 
February’s Membership Mania continues with even more surprises and rewards for our valued Plus, Premium, and Premium Plus members! If you thought last week’s announcements were exciting, just wait until you see what’s in store this week. From free daily Linden Dollars to expanded benefits across the board, there’s never been a better time to be a Second Life member! 


To begin with, everybody is getting a higher group limit.  This includes Basic accounts, who are having it raised from 42 to 50. Plus accounts are getting it raised from 50 to 55. Premium residents are going from 60 to 70 groups. And for Premium Plus, the limit is going from 140 to 150.

The last time the group limit was changed for basic accounts was in 2011, when it was raised from 30 to 42. At Second Life's beginning in 2003, it was just ten.  In 2004, it was raised to 15. In 2006, it was raised to 25. In 2016, it would raise the limit of Premium accounts to 60.
 
In 2019, Linden Lab announced it would be cutting the limit back, but eventually relented and kept the limit at 42.

Less important but still useful, the number of stored IMs will be going up. For Basic, the number will be going up from 15 to 30. For Plus, from 15 to 40. Premium goes from 80 to 120. Premium Plus goes from 160 to 240.
 
Linden Lab is lowering the cost to be a Linden Home owner. Those with Plus accounts are now eligible for one. But, they won't have the selection Premium residents have. They will be limited to just three kinds, Newbrooke Sakura, and Campers. 

For those wanting to add one more decoration to their Linden Homes, more good news. Linden Lab is raising the Land Impact levels. For land parcels 512 square meters in size, is up from 175 to 234 LI. For those 1024 in size, 351 to 468. And for those 2048 from 703 to 937. 

And for those using the Mobile Viewer with accounts over Basic, good news. The Lab will be paying you to log in daily with their "Linden Reward Streaks"
 
 
For a limited time, we’re rolling out Linden Reward Streaks, an exciting new way for Plus, Premium, and Premium Plus members to earn free Linden Dollars daily simply by logging in to the Second Life Mobile app. 

To claim some free Lindens, log onto the mobile app if you have an account higher than Basic (download it first if you don't have it). If you log on for a second day in a row, you get a few more Lindens than the first day. If you log on for a third day in a row, you get still more up to day seven. After that, you get the same amount of free Lindens for as long as you keep logging in every day, "Look for the Streaks pop-up when you log in or find it in your main menu. "

Breaking News: Linden Lab Cancels Basic Account Group Limit Cut


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.
