When Linden Lab increased the tier price of a regular private island region from $195/month to $295/month there was also outrage from the community and owners of regular private island regions were told at that time that tiier tier would be grandfathered for a certain amount of time and then later the price of those regions would eventually increase to the same $295/month tier that all new private islands would be subject to.

That increase never happened and there are several of these "grandfathered" sims that have even changed hands over the years without ever experiencing an increasing in tier.

Linden Lab tends to repeat its own history. I'd wager that the Homestead sims that exsist before the price increase will never see their price increase specifically because the Lab would rather swallow the relatively small lost of revenue of $360/year per simulator then see the loss revenue of hundreds of simulators being dropped by irrate customers.

Just a guess.

Ah, thanks. My bad saying cpu instead of core (I probably just had my PC support license suspended--oh well, keeping up was too tiresome anyway). But, point made X4! (ugh)

And, didn't they also say that they are "going green" by putting more full regions in a box? Oy.
