Wowzers, Just when you thought there wasn’t going to be much to talk about on Podmafia, Linden Lab announces changes to its Openspace Policy and the SLog-o-sphere goes wild. Along with that, Yxes talks more Halloween stuff and Nika Dreamscape joins us to talk about the Freebie Culture in Second Life.

Anyone want to buy an openspace sim? No? Didn't think so but it was worth a shot. I deleted the maze on the openspace sim, it wasn't even finished yet! And the sim is already gone. I couldn't justify $150 each month for a maze. Sighs, well at least LL made my decision an easy one right? I'm a little disappointed I have to admit, but I can either continue to pay what they want or walk away from it. I have chosen to walk away, from the openspace only, for now!

As I write this, several dozen Residents are encamped outside the entrance of the Linden Estate Services office, most waving protest signs, some engulfed in flames. It's part of a larger backlash against last night's announcement that the Lindens will...

Many are angry upset and confused over the Linden turnabout on the open sims - it seems LL have grossly under-estimated the market for them and now are backtracking fast and those with openspaces are the ones who will have to pay for their mismanagement - click the image to join the protests.

I first walked the SecondLife grid a little over 2 years ago. Introduced by a friend I was almost instantly hooked. Like many I lapped up the SecondLife experience. Did all the right things and even the 'in' things. Now almost 2 years later, I'm seriously considering leaving.

Linden Labs recent announcement to increase the Open Space tariffs is the big story of the week, OK maybe the biggest story since the banking ban. This has been a bomb shell to estate owners who are already being squeezed to breaking point. There is no question that this will result in an exodus from OS sims, exactly the effect that LL desires.

Well as some of You know last night I wasn't very happy to hear that Linden Labs would be increasing the tier on open spaces sims a disgusting 67%. I was upset, I was angry. I realized that this was most likely the final nail in the coffin of my slowly dying estate side of the land business. You see my rentals on estates have been slowing lately. I assumed it was due to the lack of new users in SL, and the fact that our RL economy has been bad so people don't have as much play money to throw into a virtual world. I just can't see renters willing to pay an extra 67% from what they pay now and I don't blame them. That's not a small understandable increase, that's a massive jump up that most people who budget can't adjust to.
