Open Life Grid isn’t the open-source SL equivalent; Opensim is (and freely available), which Open Life Grid utilizes, as do a good number of other grids.

OSGrid is a free grid also based on Opensim and is where the bulk of testing and such is done for Opensim. It’s operated and run by Opensim developers and is free to use or hook servers up to, while the rest of them all largely charge for that.

I think it should also be mentioned that the price didn’t just go up but, as your link shows, it went up A LOT.

As an OS owner who happens to use it very lightly (in total for the sim well under half the prims used and very little scripting) the bill is still going from $900 a year to $1500 (or, in my case, 2/3rds of that as I share the OS). This kind of tips back the OS from expensive hobby into serious money.

So yes, as you said, there is anguish. Especially as, as has been mentioned above, this is a 66% price increase with no performance increase or any benefits attached. Just a “you’re going to pay a LOT more in 2 months” thing.

I don’t see how any of this addresses the overpowered nature of retadins.
