Linden Lab appease land barons (at least a bit)

Linden MoneyOver on the blog, Jack Linden has announced that, in response to falling land prices, LL will be reducing the land supply on the mainland to an average of 10 sims per day (from 12-16) until the end of August.

They will also be regularly posting likely land supply levels for the following month, although there is no mention of a "target price" for mainland land.

This shouldn't make any difference to those purchasing islands - but it might make buying to parcel and sell more attractive as mainland prices rise. It's also a nice step towards better communications with us!

Price rises for new islands

Reported on the Linden Blog is the news that new islands are going up in price from $1250 to $1650 US, with an attached tier fee rise from $195 to $295. That's a big leap for many people, especially those who have been saving their Lindens towards a new island.

It seems that currently the tier fee for existing islands is staying the same, and there are some islands still available at the old price, if you get your order in quickly after the Land store reopens on November 1. Read the Linden Blog here for more detail.

It seems quite a hike in price, and people who have been saving for their own island are pretty disappointed, understandingly.
