No panic here, this just looks like Linden Labs' opening offer.

Mind you, it also appears to be an act of bad faith when not so long ago they doubled the prim counts, well aware of what Openspaces were used for, then lowered the buy in prices, (Was it the other way around?) and now demands a 67% increase in tier, as well as making what was once a transferable commodity non-transferable.

Short version: Give us more money! No you can't divest yourself of it! NYAR!

But seriously, still looks like an opening volley.

I wonder if there will be a money back guarantee.
