I've made my decision. Fuck Linden Labs. I spent close to 1500 US$ on SL last year. Those who judge me by my NPIOF may be surprised, but in the end NPIOF only means I have no credit card. I currently have 250 L$ left on my account, and those will be the last pennies SL will ever see from me.

At this point it's not about the price anymore (I'm sure I could afford 125 US$ a month, especially if the $ stays low vs the €), it's about their whole principles. I've been saving up for all these months and trying to get a permanent job contract just so I could buy myself an OpenSpace sim. And suddenly I'm told it'll be 50 % more expensive.

Right now I am saving money to fix my gaming PC first of all, but secondary upgrade my spare PC to be worthy of hosting an OpenSim. What OpenSim grid does SLU recommend? Or alternatively, if it's cheaper/better/easier (since I'm not whizkid regarding the compilation of all this stuff) than upgrading my secondary PC, what OpenSim Grids offer their own sim hosting packages?
