Anyway, while posting my previous entry I was reminded of this &#8211; which is curious, actually. Why haven&#8217;t I read about this already?<\/p>\n<p>Turns out the good folks at There appear to be having problems getting their story straight&#8230; which is probably keeping it out of the press (or at least the bits I read).

To clear things up, we&#8217;ve removed all of the old posts on this topic by There and it&#8217;s employees, and are replacing it with what we hope is one simple explanation. I apologize if you find the language that follows a bit terse, but we are aiming for clarity here.<\/p>\n<p>During this test, ALL prior memberships plans are replaced with two lifetime plans, with the exception of Beta Lifetime Memberships. The two plans are:<\/p>\n<p>    * A FREE Basic membership, which includes the Music pack. This plan is FREE, and it is a lifetime plan<br \/>\n    * A Premium membership, which includes Voice, the Explorer pack, and Music pack. This plan costs $9.95 and is a lifetime plan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While lagging heavily in Second Life yesterday, an acquaintance informed me that the virtual world There is now free.
