New Halloween-Themed Last Names

 

For those waiting for new last names, good news. A few days ago, Linden Lab announced in the official blog they had some new options for those wanting to change their account name. And for those who are fans of the spooky season, more good news, these are Halloween themed. 

 

Thank you to everyone who continues to submit ideas through our Last Name Suggestion Form. For this special update, we’ve chosen the most highly requested names that also capture the spirit of Halloween. If you’ve ever suggested something haunting, eerie, or just plain spooky, you may now see it on the list!  

 

The new account last names are Potion, Misery, Strange, Goblin, Zombie, Monster, Ghoul, Spooky, and Nightfang. 

 

"Potion" could be an interesting name for someone who fancies themself a chemist or mad scientist. "Strange" could be useful for someone who wants an aura of mystery around them. "Nightfang" might see some use among residents in wolf avatars.  

 

Expect the names to change soon after Halloween.  

 

As a reminder, changing last names is not free, but costs from $49.99 to $14.99 USD, depending on the resident's account. Check the FAQ page for more information.

Linden Buy Fees Reduced to One Cent Until Friday

 

 Just a few hours ago today, Linden Lab announced they are reducing the fee for purchasing Linden dollars to one US cent in their "One Penny Buy Fees" limited time offer.

 

Times are tough for a lot of people, so we've come up with one way to make things a little easier: Second Life is launching a special LindeX limited-time offer – a chance to make Linden Dollar (L$) Buy fees nearly disappear for a limited time! 

While the global economy wrestles with rising tariffs and tense trade talks, we’re responding with a bold, Resident-first promotion: we're charging just a penny for your LindeX buy fees for the next 2 days. We’re committed to you - our Residents - through these challenging times, and we will continue to stand by you as we have over the past 22 years. 

 

 

This limited time offer started at 12:30 PM SL time today, Wednesday April 16. It is scheduled to continue for fifty hours to 2:30 PM Sl time Friday April 18, at which time the one cent deal expires, "Compare that to the standard buy fee of 10%, with a minimum of $1.49 and a max of $14.99—this is an unprecedented cut designed to empower Residents, stimulate activity, and boost in-world trade. This is a one-time only opportunity that won’t come around again, so you’ll need to act fast if you want to stock up on Linden Dollars and save."

 

In theory, someone could buy up to $1999 worth of Linden dollars during the deal. If a Market Rate transaction takes longer than 2:30PM Friday, then the normal rate applies, not the deal.

 

Linden Lab has never done a one cent sale on it's transaction fees before.
