The Holding we rented our sim was a company in Second Life since 2006. They were fully payed by renters inworld and the Tier was due in L$. Somehow the holding got into trouble. And they weren't be able to pay their debts. some of their sims they leased from another holding in SL and the other part was fromLL using the usual methods. Because of the problems, those have never been cleared, the owner was found bancrupt on October the 15th 2009. On the strength unpayd tier LL reclaimed 40 (!!!!!!!!) of the sims owned by them and after a good analysis the other company found themselves with no other choise then to take back the ownership of the sims they were leasing. Appearently we were on one of the LL sims they took back. LL gave us 24 ours to take our stuff. Unforunatly we were not here at that time. So for us nothing is left then to submit a ticket to get back the stuff. The company that took back the ownership of their sims is offering help of course but they need time for it. But as yesterday got very clear ....................... nobody will get their payed tiers back.
A good lesson out of this is: never pay tier upfront too much. Unless you cannot avoid it of course like when you are going away for holidays but in every othercase just pay it weekly ........ then you never will get yourself in situations like this. Unfortunatly there are a whole lot of people that had to learn this lesson in a very bad way and I am very sorry for that ...........................

ReplyDeleteI know how it is.. ive never been a sim owner but i had several parcels and much parcel changes.
You put much energy in your place.. much creativity.. if you have to leave the place.. it is very sad and hard.
I hope you will find the energy to start a new project.
So sad.

Thank you so much for understanding Miyo. Gladly we are with 2 so we were able to keep up the good feeling. In the end we found a better sollution for both our living and shop but still it's a shame for a lot of people that lost money on this too.
ReplyDeleteSure we all need to understand whats happen in the background as well.
ReplyDeleteI think its not the purpose of a sim owner to send peopels away..
Often there is another reason..
Mostly L$..
