Jack Linden told us that: 

• " Openspace prices and fees change on the 1st January with no grandfathering.


• Class 4 Openspaces will be upgraded to class 5 in January.


• Educator discount is no longer available for Openspaces.


• No Owner switching for Openspaces unless it’s a full transfer of Payor.


• More proactive education by support staff to prevent unfair resource use by Openspace regions."

So... From 1 January 2009 they will change upfront fees for void sims. We can expect an increase of 50% with monthly fees rising by 66%. (US$250 upfront and US$75/mo today). The new fees from 1 January will be US$375 upfront and US$125/mo. Owners with groups of four void simulators will have those groups migrated to class 5 servers at that time.

What do you guys think? are they Penalizing everyone for a few users overloading? or is a good way to deal with shrewd rip-off artists selling openspace parcels only for the newbies that unaware of the scam...???
