umm not to be picky, but isn't thier whole business (not to mention the value of the $L) based on land? And you can't own land unless you (or someone else) has a premium account. So wouldn't it stand to reason that if people are dropping their premium accounts (because they no longer want/can afford the land) it would hurt the LL bottom line? I guess I am confused.. I also wonder what this will do to the value of the $L. With so many new sims being available at a cheaper price, will that inflate the L$ or make it stronger?

My guess is that LL is deliberately trying to consolidate anything requiring support to as few active accounts as possible, effectively farming out end-user support to those.
Hence things like the "turn openspaces into rentals or leave" strategy and the non-concern over fewer *individuals* being able to own mainland. I think LL would only be overjoyed if they could get rid of all the pesky smalltimers and let a few land barons and their support staff handle all the end-users.
