I'm shopping right now, TPing from store to store, and when I teleport, I'M FREAKING THERE. Immediately. Instantly. In most cases, I'm TPing INSIDE the store I'm coming to visit.
I was not much of a shopper in SL before, because I hated flying anywhere, dealing with lag, unloaded textures... this is a 1000% improvement.

I just have this image of everyone blissfully ping ponging all over the grid for the hell of it. Like a bunch of kids hopping up and down on a giant bed. Except of course, all the down trodden hub land owners.

If there's shops worth visiting at those former hub locations, then people will go there.
Incidentally, I think people who block TPs to their land (if they are a shop) are going to see a decrease in traffic and sales. _____________________

Yes, this is totally awesome. I had had enough of telehubs with roofs that I couldn't see. Also, flying into buildings on my way somewhere, just to become trapped in the building as it rezzed fully (then not knowing how to get out!) *moans*
But now I click and BOOM... I'm there! |

yay! I messed around on the 1.8 preview, it was histerical to play a game of tag and pop around like Night Crawler. At least on the preview, P2P on the same sim was instant, pick a point on the map while moving hit teleport and bam you were there, makes for some interesting game ideas. If only there was a particle effect that could portray Night Crawler's smoke when he teleported....

having not seen or tried it yet, I'm going to say I HATE p2p, because a) I don't think anything should be unanimus, and b) because I'm hateful and contrary.

They still shoulda defaulted to no teleport...
12-13-2005 12:54
Let people running stores turn it on, but they shoulda listened to me and made the default for non-Linden land no-teleport. It'd take a few days for store owners to catch on, but you'd end up with all the good parts without having people boinging around the map like I do landing in people's houses.
So, everyone run around and set your landing points if you haven't. |

So will my old landmarks to a store now use their landing point and work correctly?

/applauds LL! I don't know what you all did, but my performance works better in 1.8 than 1.7. Plus, I love the ripple effects in the water. I didn't get a chance to try p2p, but from what I've read, I'm sure going to love it. I'm looking forward to when I get the chance to come back and play more!
