What exactly is a "homestead"... never heard of it?

A homestead was the replacement to the old OpenSpace region, and the lab claimed it was necessary as unscrupulous people like Loki were using their low impact sims to host shopping complexes and high traffic gathering points.

The Lab decided that they were not making enough money so announced they would gouge all the players who owned OpenSpace. They said you could either sign up to a reduction in prims to an impossible low number or you could 'upgrade' to a new sort of region with the same number of prims, less agents and an unspecified limit on scripts but pay more.

Who you calling unscrupulous!! The activities on Goony Island could hardly be regarded as a 24/7 traffic fest that would impair the performance of the other 3 Sims on the CPU. There is no Club on goony island, there is no shopping mall, just ONE shop that i would not say is constantly packed with shoppers.

So screw you Mr Jay, "unscrupulous people like Loki" indeed!!! If it were not for my sense of humour i would make a big fuss about this!

Jay, it is a bit ridiculous to slander Loki here. There is ONE shop on Goony Island, you make it sound like it has a mall on it. Goony Island is an adventure playground which is used for roleplay events mostly, traffic is low, number of scripts is low... Be careful what you write here, people can tell a lie.
