I am being charged 50L not 40L for picture uploads...also I think that is quite a difference from the 10L I have been paying

he premium plus subscription is much more expensive than the normal premium and you have to work hard to amortize the price otherwise it isn't worth it. Imposing an additional loading cost on those who already pay so much doesn't seem right to me and certainly many who are already at the limit of convenience would give up this option.

Eren Padar It is actually L$40, not L$50. The purpose of the upload charge isn't really to offset server costs—it's to discourage overuse for things that don't merit 2K textures. That's why Premium Plus hasn't gotten a break on it so far.

rhet0rica Resident they must have changed the fee then as it originally was announced as 50L$. Regardless it is just an example as I think Premium needs a price cut on uploads period.

rhet0rica Resident I agree that 2K textures are questionable... since currently their 512 textures don't upload properly due to several bottlenecks (and that's been the case for over 20 years). Some people's graphics system glitch on 1K textures, let alone 2K (which is 4 times larger).

There are times that 2K textures are warranted, but such cases are rare. However, I can't help but think of all the things we do on OPENSIM that work just absolutely fine... and for some unfathomable reason Linden Lab says won't work on Second Life. These days I can hardly tolerate building on SL with its prim size limits and its link limits and land size limits. On Opensim I have a mega-spaceship that is 1,000 prims, 105m long... all linked as one object, flies beautifully and causes zero lag. And I can fly that ship across 25 regions all linked together with no sim lines (one "VAR").

So sometimes one just has to wonder about these evidently arbitrary limits and problems that seem to exist only on SL. (I know I kinda go sidetracked there, but these things kind of all tie together when it comes to creative ability.)

Bcreative Wilde I think it should be taken even further. If a person is paying nearly ten bucks a month membership on SL ($120 a year)... why should they be charged for uploads at all? And frankly, $50 a month for "Premium Plus" is an absurd fee. I don't know of any game that charges that kind of subscription fee. Yes, I know... SL isn't a "game". But games are their direct competition... and last time I heard games like WoW pull more profit per month than SL. Maybe LL needs to take a hint from such "games" and earn their profit through improved service rather than price gouging their customers.

nice but why premium plus should pay for 2k textures upload, it should be free as well i think and premium plus should have free mesh upload included too, for premium 50% off:)

Ooh looks like they listened partly and gave free uploads to Premium Plus.

Now could we please add value to the regular Premium and Premium Lifetime? Half price of what Basic accounts pay please!
