Ok Linden Lab have been, for one reason or another, spreading out the Linden Dollar love. In one case it’s for competition winners and in the other case, it’s for billing problems.
The competition winners were for the marketplace contest to suggest new categories for skins, the blog post has been updated with a comment with the information on the new categories and the winners who each receive 2,899 Linden Dollars, which is the price of a month long frontpage listing enhancement on the marketplace. The winners, in no particular order are:
- Emma Krokus
- kilene kondor
- SayaNicole Cuttita
- Voshie Paine
- Yuukie Onmura
I’ve no idea what categories they suggested but congratulations to them!
The new skins categories are in the blog post comment. The other area where Linden Lab have been handing out Linden Dollars is with regard to a problem with the external billing services contractor in the middle of November. Feline Dagger reported the issue over at SLUniverse, well feline asked if it was a genuine email from Linden Lab. Innula Zenovka reported on this in the official forums and noted that Linden Lab’s goodwill gesture coincides with Mayan prophecies regarding the end of the world!
The affected customers have had 2,000 Linden Dollars deposited to their inworld accounts as a goodwill gesture due to the technical difficulties, congratulations to all the winners …….
Joking aside it’s good to see Linden Lab handing out some good will gestures, even in Linden Dollar format, the Linden Dollars will be useful to those concerned and it looks as if it was an issue outside of Linden Lab’s control, so fair enough here.
