Well, of course it would make sense to buy an island.

If I had 1000 or so to spare.

And could afford 295 a month instead of 195 a month.

And hadn't spent two years gradually expanding my shop in Rosieri.

And didn't like the mainland.

Now, does it make sense to make me have to leave my nest in Rosieri? Sell it at a loss, maybe, or just abandon it?

Well, there I would STILL have to come up with 1k for an island (or is it more?) and would still have to pay 295 tier instead of 195. (If I'm understanding that right.)

I'm pretty sure LL thinks it would make sense. it would make sense to them for at least one reason - one less resident business.

Which will doubtless be what happens when they decide a few motions in the direction of improvement will justify raising them to the tier cost of islands, even though you don't have nearly the control over them.

I don't own that mainland sim solely, so I would presumably not have any say in how it is zoned. Anyhow, I don't think they are going to do that to people. Reading over Jack's post again, it sounded like they were talking about NEW land.*

P.S. On page two of the forums discussion, I notice that a lot of people unfortunately seem to think this means getting RID of ad farmers. And/or all ads.


*apparently this is the case, since I just read Jack's comment: "The question of how this affects existing Mainland is a good one. Clearly changes we make re. advertising will impact the current Mainland regions, but with Zoning it is more complex and initially it's unlikely we will try to retrospectively Zone old regions. As one person points out, suddenly moving the goalposts in that way is difficult. Now it *may* be that one day we allow existing regions to opt in to Zoning if all owners there agree, but we shall see how feasible that is as we get closer to new regions being Zoned."
