Eye on the Blog - About the Homestead Launch and Script Limits

As we have previously blogged, Homesteads will be launched as a new product on Monday 5th January. Those of you that own an Openspace should already have received emails from us explaining the changes taking place; this post is to ensure that you have as much information as possible ahead of the change.

In launching a new product, there are many areas that will change, including additions to the website, new knowledgebase articles, and of course, changes to the Land Store itself.

Timing:
  • January 5th: From 8am until 12 noon SLT, Land Store closed for maintenance. Upon opening, both Homesteads and Openspaces will be available as options for island owners.
  • January 5th: All Openspace regions to undergo rolling restart. Most will happen before Noon SLT.

Billing

  • If your normal monthly bill date is before the 5th you will be billed your new rate in February 09
  • If your normal monthly bill date is on or after the 5th, you will be billed the new rate in January 09
  • Educators that have paid for a half or full year in advance will be unaffected by rate increase until their renewal date. For more information and to confirm renewal dates contact the Concierge team.

Script Limits

  • We will need to implement script limits to prevent a heavily overloaded region from negatively affecting the performance of another region.

Timing for Script Limits:

  • In Q1, we will be gathering data on script load, and sharing this usage data with the community before deciding what the most appropriate limits are.
  • In Q2, we expect there to be Viewer changes to allow you to monitor your script usage against those limits.
  • In Q3 we will begin enforcing script limits.
