I do understand that, however, the exchange rate
is a bit left of center.
If you want to make money in SL!
Baby, you got to graft.
Current sx prices are:- US$9.74 = L$2,500
I just got offered a house on land, on the island, for L$12,000.
Nice house too. Ocean views. Private sea beach.
Where else can you get a double story home on land, for $15.
Even Sims2 is dearer than that.
For a free account holder like myself. There are protections.
There is a limit of US$10 credit in the system per week.
I can't "own" land, but at L$500\week, my hotel suit is grand.
That's about US$2.70.
I'd gladly pay that to be able to talk to people around the world,
in real time.
I've put hundred's and hundred's of dollars into Sims 2, only to have it get more and more unstable and, these days at least, now too limited.
Sims 2 has become frustrating with the trouble it causes, and right here right now, SL is far and away the superior software, for me at least.
Damnit, now I'm beginning to sound like one of them advertising people.
But, my friends, I like VR. It's not like the movie "Lawnmower Man", and I hope it never becomes that. But it puts people in touch with each other. I like that.
