Cynical...I'm from New York City...the most cyncial thing frankly is LL--propigating a land bubble that might pop soon enough and wipe-out many of the inexperienced newbies that they are trying to attract. Sorry to disagree (not really, usually more sorry to agree with you tbh), but entertainment is in fact real on the grid, but these quaint ideas about land are phoney baloney. What land barons seem to offer is bad neighbors and tiney little prim allowances all with the risk that one day the sim might disappear.

I think the whole land business in SL is exploitive and over-priced. It is set up to pad LL revenues. Land barons are just pawns or partners to perpetuate this scheme. Btw, where is Ansche Chung these days? Haven't seen her on the cover a magazine lately. Any data on how many of her virtual millions have been converted into real cash? (maybe she a little busy rebranding SLexchange)

The whole smokescreen from LL about growth is really about flipping full to void sims--so they are making the grid more sparse just at the time when they should be increasing the prims per m2 to increase richness of shared experience.  They are milking the land sales and will continue to glut market this is reality in the virtual world.

Cynical..nope, just tired of watching this nonsense...
