LL Respond Swiftly To Email Blip

Linden Lab have been quick to apologise for the recent email blip that saw reminders for premium renewals sent to people, with dates in the past. I received the following apology via email last night:

“Dear Ciaran

Our sincere apologies. You recently received an email from us in error. The message subject was “Second Life Renewal Reminder,” and it stated that your account would be charged for the cost of a renewal of a Premium Membership, and on a date that is in the past. Please disregard that email. We will not be charging your account for the stated fees.

Again, please disregard our previous message and accept our apologies for any confusion. If you have additional questions, please contact support.

Best Wishes,

Linden Lab and the Second Life Team”

Adult Hub To Voluntarily Remove Zindra Name

Today there was an Adult content user group meeting, the minutes of can be read here. The meeting being today quite frankly scares me because these meetings are now fortnightly and I swear it isn’t a fortnight since the last one! Time really is flying. Anyway there was some big news at the meeting regarding the controversial use of the Zindra name on the new Adult Gateway.

Serjourn Daxter announced:

“This weekend I was approached by Counter Landfall, a member of the Zindra Alliance. We talked and looked into possible cooperation models. It became clear that the use of the Zindra name was a sore point for the alliance. I was also given an insight into the reasons. In the interest of buillding unity in the adult communities, I brought this issue up in my management team meeting Saturday. After some discussions, we passed a 16 to nil vote on to go ahead and profile what we are (an adult hub) rather than to use the Zindra name, that we understand has a value for the Zindra continent, but is of little consequence for us as a hub.

As a first result of the new cooperation, the Zindra yellowpages have now been placed in 4 locations in the central HUB sim, and will over the comming weeks be placed also in the 4 surrounding sims. ”

This is good news on several fronts and extremely encouraging to hear.

Premium Member Reminder Email Error

Plenty of you will know about this, because you’ll have received an email like this:

“We hope you’re enjoying your Second Life.  This is a reminder that your, Second Life Premium Annual Plan will be renewed on a certain date, at which time you’ll be charged a certain fee (USD).  You don’t need to do anything; renewal and billing are automatic.”

I’m not as eagle eyed as others as I thought “Bloody hell, they’re keen” as my renewal is months away, it was actually telling me the renewal was due earlier this year. Others received emails telling them their renewals were due in 2009 or 2008, which is easier to spot….. that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

However there’s no need to panic, just keep your eyes peeled on your bills, you shouldn’t be charged, Linden Lab know all about it.

Searching places by Traffic order

Beware of Bots bearing gifts!
