I've played SL since 2003. Since that time, the quality of service has gone downhill. The grid is way overpopulated. And that should be a good thing. But when players have to deal with constant crashing, crazy lag, lack of items rezzing, missing inventory, etc it's leaving many players like me in a wth kinda mood. I've never seen so many griefers in SL than I do now. It was fine when everybody had to pay their $9.95 for a basic account. We didn't have as nearly as many in-game technical and player problems than today. I'm still for having SL trials and then paying for basic accounts. Things were more civilized then. There are many teens playing on the adult grid. Why? Because Linden doesn't invoke age verification (or do they now?). I've had many problems with kids in the past year. No idea who there are but have found several on my sim dropping prim objects that attack ppl.

I love windlight. It's a great feature. Like any test client it does have it's bugs. But I already have too many problems with regular client to even try to use WL anymore. (My comp is pretty new so it's not my comp's fault).

I have a lot of friends who are designers. Too often do they get ripped off from ppl STILL using the copybot. It's as big a problem as ever. It's really frustrating because they put hours/days/weeks in such creations only to have it stolen by people on free alt chars...Lindens, you need to do something before people stop wanting to play.
