Personally? I think it's

Personally? I think it's presumptive and in bad faith to require paid admission to your sims across the board. It presumes that you have a standard high enough that I have to give you money even to see it. It begins our relationship, as creator and viewer, on a basis of economy and demand—and with so many free access sims across the grid, some of which offer builds and art as beautiful as Rezzable's, I would prefer to engage in a relationship where I wasn't immediately and always seen as a buyer. Charging for events, however, or in certain sims or showings, makes sense. It makes those events seem important, and provided the quality is high enough—they are. But even better for your business model, you could improve how the Rezzable sims operate. Stores are poorly labeled or not labeled, and there's rarely any clear distinction between who made the work, who is hosting it, and who I support by buying it. Items are repeated, in whole and in part, across various Rezzable sims with no clear rhyme or reason as to why, nor is there any information explaining where the complete collection is housed. Designated landing points make it impossible to LM shops in order to return or to pass the LM on to someone else. Some sale signs are malfunctional, some sale items are malfunctional. Rezzable staff rarely has information in their profiles explaining who they are, what they are in charge of, and who to contact for customer service. Customer service IMs receive no reply. The statues in Black Swan are overpriced considered that they are only virtual goods. There is little advertising or clear communication about stores and purchasable items in Rezzable sims, and where there is some (say, for Crimson Shadow) there is none for others (say, Cascade). There is little communication about Rezzable sims at all to anyone not already within the Rezzable community. The Rezzable-provided list of sims doesn't discuss what each sim is, nor whether any of them have stores, and it's also out of date. Many of the Rezzable sims are beautiful, and one-of-a-kind in Second Life. I love them, and enjoy visiting them. That said, I am continually frustrated by how Rezzable operates—there is so much potential, but you haven't quite smoothed out the bumps yet. I think that paid entrance would be a major turn for the worse, and I myself would stop attending. Others, of course, may vary.
