They even tried to rebrand it with that mojave experiment thing but Vista will go down in history as a massive failure.

Mono was out for almost a year before SVC-4196 reared its ugly head.. It might have been a mono change that caused SVC-4196 but it absolutely wasn't the introduction of mono itself onto the grid. SVC-4196 is not the only or oldest serious mono related performance issue. SVC-3895 was opened several months earlier. Whether it was the introduction of mono, or the eventual widespread adoption of it, or some server bug introduced later, mono is strangling Second Life. _____________________

Yep, that would be organic growth...which is the way SL grew over the years. I agree about the angry user aspect......but even with happy ones.....it would take a long time for it to jump from 70-75k peak logins to say 200-250k. It would need marketing from LL, which traditionally they have not done. Marketing would be good, yes. However, what it *really* needs is for LL to become more sensitive to what is going on around them in real life. The stagnant growth is not really due to lack of marketing or hardware issues. It's not even really due to the software and network instability we've been seeing lately. It is primarily due to Linden Labs draconian tier fees. At the end of the day, when one has to decide between paying land tiers to LL and trying to keep the bank from foreclosing on your RL home, guess which is going to take precedence. Unfortunately, these are decisions that way too many of us have been faced with over the past couple of years, and LL has been completely insensitive to that fact. Instead of providing some needed relief, they keep jacking up rates. _____________________

If fifty thousand people have a copy of a certain asset in their inventory, it doesn't mean there are fifty thousand copies of that asset on the server. There is just one - with fifty thousand links pointing to it. If 50,000 people wear the same "no mod" hair then you're right. There will just be 1 asset that's referenced 50,000+ times. If 50,000 people wear the same "no mod" hair with at least one script in it and on average they log on three times a day then you have 150,000 assets per day for that one hair (100,000 of which will be orphaned and garbage collected at some point) since every detach will result in the creation of a new asset because the item state has changed. |

I agree Katherine regarding the LL tier structure....i have been preaching that on SL blogs for around 18 mths now and that was before the worldwide recession even kicked in.......i think i wrote about it again today on that Azures downsizing thread. _____________________
