There are too many things holding us event creators back from success.
Grid being down randomly and for extended periods of time
Login troubles
Random lag troubles
Group Options not to maximum potential
Event Listings in-world not to maximum potential
Removal of traffic incentive and dwell
Capping the amount of residents that can be at one place at one time
... to name a few...
Not that I am bitching to LL, I want to make a positive mark to help promote SL.. but it seems that LL focuses least on the event driven businesses in SL.
Personally, I was dramatically affected by Sunday's 'attack on the grid' which caused SL to be shut down for multiple hours. My club's grand opening was scheduled. Multiple performers, and dozens upon dozens were planning to attend. Instead, the event was a total wash, and my club had no real 'kickoff' ...I am simply disappointed that alot of planning and hard work can be dashed instantly. I did absolutely everything I could to create the success, and 'the powers that be' were the cause of it's demise. And there are too many 'incidents' that prohibit the event businesses in SL from growth. SL should NOT be the cause of holding us back!
I am simply stating a plea to LL. Please, take note and realize that events in SL are AS IMPORTANT if not more important than anything else in SL... Land trading, shopping, building, etc etc etc... all JUST AS IMPORTANT AS EVENTS.
Simply put, is there a point to initiating and creating a planned organized event in SL if the chances of it reaching maximum potential are blocked by SL problems? Would LL be so kind as to take a step back and realize how important good events in SL are?... cause quite frankly, 90% of the current events are muck and unoriginal.... and the select few ingenious events really have a 50/50 shot of actually happening.
