Here are somethings you can do to make SL a less laggy place with less asset server problems.

1. Don't log in. Logging in to Second Life is always going to cause problems. It uses up bandwidth and asset server CPU cycles. Don't do it! Logging just makes it worse MmmKay!@

2. If you do log in go naked without attachments. These things cause lag. Wearing things is bad.

3. Clear your inventor. Trash everything. Lots of inventory might lure you into wearing something and that makes lag. Trash everything and make sure you empty the trash.

4. Stay away from others. Other Avatars will force your computer to draw information from the assets servers and this causes lag.

5. Stay away from buildings and other things made of prims. These items need to pull information from the asset servers. Not good.

6. Sit in an empty sim. This is good. It creates very low lag.

7. Don't talk, don't IM and do not chat in groups. These take valuable server CPU cycles and bandwith.

If everyone did this Linden Lab will have far fewer problems with the asset servers and bandwidth problems.

Enjoy your Second Life. :p

Everyone should just play SL vicariously like I do. You wouldn't care about any of these problems then.


OP thinks she's being funny, but infact these are all good suggestions.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I have been following your advice and have not logged in for some time. And you're right! No lag at all. What a difference!.

I think everyone should take the next weekend to drive home a point to LL and not log on at all!

Unfortunately, I just have to log on because... uhm... err... I have to pay my rent! yesh *looks innocent* pay rent, that's it... and enjoy a lag-free SL!... uhm.. did I say that last part out loud? :o

I did notice that during the 3 weeks I self banished myself, SL was creeping into my dreams. There was lag there, too.

Darkness finds himself remember a couple of years ago when the assett servers were groaning and the citizens of SL crashed them yet again by trying to clean out thier inventories in an attempt to relieve the load on the assett servers.

SL at its finest. ;)

(true story btw)
