Been getting "Unable to load script. Please try again." and "Asset server didn't respond in a timely fashion. Object returned to sim." and other fun ones, so they really really mean it, don't do anything.

Well, it's Friday evening in Europe. Time to go to bed with a good book, I guess. ;)

If you are in-world, don't log out, crash, or red-map...

Of course, if youj are in-world, you can't do much of anything anyway.

yep :(

I am in world, for what good it does :(

rearranged a few things in the store (for what good THAT does, being no one can shop.. oh wait, sales are down regardless so can not blame this one on SL) heh

I guess I will just stand here... ( I do not want to do dishes or laundry noooo)

*sigh*

Sales are down for several reasons... some of them are:

1> LL keeps making announcements all month to not buy anything
2> a lot of vendors don't deliver due to object-object email problems (and people are afraid to take a chance on a vendor.. they thought gambling was outlawed, but LL has forced using all vendors as a gamble)

good point, never thought of those 2 points... I thought it was just me with bad to no sales... been thinking maybe my stuff is not good enough, so I keep making new stuff and outdoing my own abilities and learning more as I go

however sadly, SL has to support it's self for me, so if too many months go by with little to no sales I will have to either close down, or major downsize, and would prolly just close down.... would be too painful to downsize

:(

I have thought about writing an SL book
and it would always be pretty darn up to date... it would be a short book though...
mainly it would only say a few things...
servers are down
assets are borked
do not make any purchases

etc

Edit: It just let me read the notecard it was not opening earlier... that is a good sign

Now I know why I have my own sim -- I can play, albeit by myself, when SL is down. Hopefully soon have alternatives.

earler today, my land was offline, LL restarted. or rebooted or whatever they do to make it go offline.. was offline for 30min.. I am in world now with my friend I can't put on clothing or attach or rezz or nuttin.. he is keeping me entertained, but went potty so here I am..

Agreed about the sales, but it's not just vendors.. I have boxed items that didn't get delivered.. Had to send over some things directly today...

I am getting concerned... This seems to be a problem every Friday (if not more days throughout the week) and I wonder how many people like me, that loose money because no transactions, no tp.. etc etc... I am putting a lot of my own money into SL lately and I can't keep doing it..

So much for second life being a way to make money..
