I got scammed in a mainland deal….got pissed off…..called LL…only to be told they would investigate. Well needless to say nothing was done within the timeframe that allowed me to recieve a refund from either PayPal or my Bank. So Be It…I frackked up and it only cost me 12$ to learn…cheaper than a night out drinking. So Linden Labs makes me pay 9.95$ a month +5$ a week Land Maintence Fee WHAT THE HELL FOR? If they readly admit they can do nothing about what happens inside their game. Why Pay Them to have Non-Existent In World Support Now the same day …as this land problem…they charge the WRONG PAYMENT METHOD for my account…I had updated the payment inforamtion that same Morning and made a purchase to confirm it was moved to my new payment method. Now I log into my bank account only to see they had charged the wrong account…I called “Billing Support”…support my arse…they made me feel a fool..then told me they would do nothing about this problem either. So I decided to Google any Message Board Associated with SL and tell the players my problem. DON”T LET LINDEN LABS STEAL YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!! Keep a free account or don’t play at all. Just my .02 on the matter HiredGun Destiny Second Life Customer Service is nothing but a line for players to call to be told Linden Labs WILL NOT do anything about anything that happens on their Grid.

Linden Research, Inc. and Philip Rosedale case have removed my case to Federal Court. Further, the Defendants have recently filed several motions not only seeking to dismiss Rosedale personally, but to compel arbitration and transfer this case to San Francisco, CA. Although I cannot speculate as to their intent, the effect of the Defendants' acts are to make this litigation as costly as possible for me to pursue perhaps, in the ultimate hope, that I will abandon it. In fact, in one motion filed by the Defendants, the clear suggestion to the court is that attorneys fees in this case will be exorbitant. Given the above, I am reaching out to you that wish to help support this case and assist me in deflecting some of the substantial costs that could arise from these acts. The issues being litigated are important to many people participating in Second Life, as well as MMORPG generally and they should not be abandoned simply because the Defendants succeed by stretching the financial resources of a single man. Should you wish to contribute to help deflect the costs of this litigation and help to properly litigate the matter, donations can be sent anonymously and/or confidentially to my attorneys. Any donated money will be utilized to help pay for my attorneys and costs in this case. Thank you. Donations can be made to: c/o Jason A.
