This weekend, Linden Lab is holding a promotion where (the rather expensive) setup fees for new private regions are waived. Subject, of course, to all the usual requirements.

My email inbox is stuffed full of two particular questions about this sale.

The first is “Is this because Second Life lost so many private regions recently, and is desperate for the monthly revenue?”

The second is “Is this because Second Life lost so many private regions recently, and wants to pad its figures and show growth for this quarter?”

Personally, my take is that the Lab has all of those expensive servers kicking around and that’s just a waste; money left on the table.

That doesn’t mean that it cannot also be one (or both!) of the other two, but considering the total cost of the hardware – if it were me – I’d be very keen to get all of those servers back into service rather than just sitting around.
