Rant about LL

I know I shouldn’t take time to post this, but sometimes things happen that makes you want to air your opinions and blow off some steam. Those of you who knows me or read my blog regularily knows I’m having financial troubles in RL. I have had to close down everything that cost anything in SL, sold my land, and I have downgraded my premium account. Now LL have taken tier money from  me. I have a basic account and can’t even use the land I have payed for.

I thought that if I sold my land, withdraw my contribution to the land group and downgraded my account I wouldn’t have to pay tier, but obviously I was wrong. :( Those money was drawn from my bank account and even though most ppl wouldn’t think it’s a lot of money, to me it is. Now I won’t have enough money to pay for one of my RL bills. And I will end up paying a penalty fee for being late with it. All for a tier that I can’t use. I have lost my store but still have to pay for the land.

Now I thought that I might be able to talk some senses into LL so I tried to file a ticket as I’ve done in the past. That wasn’t possible however since I don’t have a premium account. Basic account can only get help with simple stuff that I already know about. Someone once told me that poor people shouldn’t play SL and it seems like it was true. I only hope that I won’t have to pay anything next month as well. What can I do against the mighty LL people? Nothing of course.

SL and RL on a budget

I’ve been having financial problems in RL for a long time ever since I lost my job. So I had to take the difficult decision to downgrade my SL accounts (two of them) and to sell my land.

I had the land for sale and tried to advertise it on Xstreet but no one bought it. So I had to come up with something else. Then I got the idea of asking the other merchants on the Xtreet forum for advice and the response was great. I got so many good answers that I really think I can get this to work. I’ll look through all the suggestions and then try them out.

Thank you all the wonderful people on Xstreet for your care and knowledge. I’ll post updates here about my progress.

For now on I’ll live in SL as I do in RL – on a really tight budget, but I’ll survive:)
