Thanks for the update, Claire-Sophie.
At least now we know what's going on. I can swear they're still doing something funny with the CAD so I'll keep watching.

Want Lower Tier? Now You Can Get Grandfathered Land Rates!
General Discussion
I actually prefer to see this as a "glass half full" kind of deal; I'm going to benefit (eventually) and I certainly wouldn't include myself in the "well-to-do" category. The lump sum payment was hard to swallow but in a year I'll be that muchfurther ahead.
LL has always given an advantage to the large landlords with discounted rates(I'm not criticizing just stating a fact)and I doubt that this new offer is meant to help those that are really struggling. My guess is that they ran the numbers and figured out the best way to maintain more of the "middle class". So far, according to the weekly Private Estate counts it seems to be working.

That's concerning, I've never tried to verify mine. Tell us what you find out.

As a Canadian, I certainly feel your exchange-rate pain. My guess is that the performance will be exactly the same.
If you're planning to stay in SL for more than 6 months, I believe this is a good deal. I've just converted my regions & I'm looking forward to lower tiers.

In November, we lowered the set-up fees for land purchases by 40% . Today, were introducing a limited-time offer that will make land even cheaper by allowing you to lower your monthly tier payments (aka land maintenance fees).
From today until October 4th, 2016, you can buy-down your Full Islands and/or Homesteads to the grandfathered maintenance rates . By paying a one-time fee up front, youll be entitled to lower tier rates on your land for as long as you hold it (and remember, we now also allow transferring grandfathered land ).
The pricing for this offer is as follows:
- Full Island:
- One-time buy-down fee: $600
- Grandfathered maintenance fee: $195/month (regularly $295/month)
- Homestead:
- One-time buy-down fee: $180
- Grandfathered maintenance fee: $95/month (regularly $125/month)
Note: This offer cannot be combined with our Education and Non-Profit discount program , and cannot be applied to Skill Gaming Regions.
If you plan to hold onto your land for longer than 6 months, this is a great deal for you!
To take advantage of this offer, youll need to submit a Support Case using the Land & Region -> Region Buy Down case type. In that case you can provide us with the names of the regions you would like to buy down, and we will assess the appropriate buy-down fee per region.

Couldn't agree with you more. I know that they are still developing new products so let's keep our fingers crossed for more RL items.
I'm only going to raise goats and chickens in the Hamlet but if other members want to take a shot at the other animals on their own private ground it could make for a nice compliment to our items - plus they will corner the market on those.
I know that Antiquity raises other animals so I'm hoping they would like to participate in our Market at some point.

I'm agree that rence seems to fit bamboo the best but I'm thinking I might just stick with rence as bamboo flour seems a bit unlikely.
For the potato paga, I was thinking of going with potato vodka but so far just stuck with paga.
In both cases, sticking with the original names will make it easier for people that ret trying to put together different recipes.
In six months, we'll probably be so accustomed to the names we'll forget that we ever want to change them

Plum might be a good one for ka-la-na. Acts as a fruit, reddish colourand you can make brandy from it.
Rence is the tough one for me as we already have an official "rice". It grows in thick stalks that look like bamboo, you can make flour & beer from it and you can also make papyrus from it. Hmmmm .....

Greetings Everyone!
We've just passed our first month of operating the Queen's Hamlet Co-op and it's amazing how far we've come! Here's a look at some of our accomplishments and other related Co-op News.
Goat Milk, Goat Cream, Goat Butter and Goat Cheese. For a community that existed on Grilled Fish for the first few weeks, this is certainly a welcome addition. The Cheese Factory is up-and-running and we have our own QH Co-op labels.
Speaking of Goats, the waiting list for the Adopt-a-Goat program is still open though we've experienced a bit of a delay in the actual adoption process. As luck would have it, 3 out of our first 4 kids are males (necessary but not great for a first adoption).
The guys are currently hanging out together awaiting their turns at parenthood. Hopefully more females will arrive in the next cycle.
Besides our flock of eight goats, we have three chicken coops in operation and 33 fields/trees under cultivation.
The new additions to our agricultural endeavors being Ka-la-na Trees (aren't they pretty!) and Rence. Still looking for some good RL substitutions for these names so if you have any ideas please let me know.
All of this growing has also provided us with a great start to our Wine & Spirits section in the Market .
We've got Beer, Mead, Sake, 2016 Reserve Wine and Potato Paga, many of which can be used in different recipes. Bottled Ka-la-na and Rence Beer will be coming soon.
Our next task for the Market is to fill up all the empty Gourmet Meals boxes so if you want to make some extra coins, make a meal and sell it to the Co-op. Every box that's out can be made from our local ingredients. More boxes to follow as other ingredients become more plentiful.
The CHALLENGES have already seen a number of Champions. Congratulations to everyone for their accomplishments to-date!
We have our very first BLACKSMITH APPRENTICE and she's busy making a set of startup tools for our next one. Please join the waiting list if you'd like to give smithing a try.
Last, but not least, we'll be hosting a May Day Country Dance. Contributions of food would be appreciated for these festivities so please start cooking. I'll bring the wine & other alcoholic beverages.
Thanks for all the fun!

Having been lead down the garden path last year (it was horrible, don't ask), it was thankfully more prepared this year
