But now, because LL never enforced any scripting limits and act all shocked that someone would actually try to use these things like a real sim, I doubt I'll be able to afford it any more. This is the last thing that's kept me around SL (other than some friends). I don't need to pay tier to drop in and visit friends, but it breaks my heart to think I might have to give up my beach. |
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. To give up your beach, if you have to.
It broke my heart to give up my beach on Azure Islands, which is not an open sim, but is owned by Adam (and I presume, still, Nexus) who own a HUMONGOUS AMOUNT of open sims. Or more accurately, I thought it would break my heart. Once it was gone and I no longer had to pay that extra tier, all of a sudden it wasn't breaking my heart at all. My heart was relieved.
(I had to give it up because it was stupid to pay them for tier when I was already paying LL for more tier than I was using, once I upped my shop land.)
And now I'm wondering what are Nexus and Adam going to do, since they own all those open sims. (And, I think, basically pioneered them, hand-in-hand with LL.) Since their open sims ARE mostly all nothing but trees, I wonder, too, if the increase will apply to them.
From this experience (heart-breaking that wasn't really), I now realize that it won't break my heart that much no matter what LL forces me to give up in the future. Which I imagine they will.
Because it turns out most of the "heart-breaking" and grieving part seems to come BEFORE, not after, you accept your losses and giveup. It turns out to be lots easier to take one's losses and turn one's back on things than I thought it would be.
