WHERE IS THE DISCUSSION M LINDEN SAID WOULD HAPPEN YESTERDAY- I cant find it

Quote M Linden from the blog announcement yesterday..... "We believe this is fair. Jack and I will join you in the forums throughout the day today to discuss this."

Where are you M & Jack Linden; why did you tell us you would join us in the forum throughout the day to discuss this? Have I missed something? I have not seen any discussion involving either of you. Why is the word at Linden Lab worth so little these days?????

If you have been here in discussion as you stated you would then please direct me to that thread and accept my most humble apology.

Thank you Malia that was tough! I did find these from Jack in that thread and nothing from M

Post # 188

I see we're at nine+ pages of responses already, so let me try to answer some of the questions asked so far.

First of all, the limits are in the knowledgebase article which is linked from the blog post itself. We still have some work to do around script limits, more on that soon.

@Meade: To begin with Homesteads will be running 4 per CPU, but as we now work on ways to improve performance one of the options we'll be looking at is to change that ratio to 3 per CPU. That gives more memory headroom and is obviously less load on the CPU. It may not be the route we take, but it's one possibility.

@Sedary @Kris and others: I think it's clear that prim limits needed to be revisited in light of our change to two products rather than one. A product that is truly going to remain for light use such as water or forest doesn't require as many prims as the Homestead product. We need to clearly define these two as different products for different purposes hence that lower prim limit for Openspaces.

Jazz: Your questions on conversion are covered in the knowledgebase article. So yes, we will convert up from Openspaces to full regions for free, at least until January 09. If you have less than 4 Openspaces, then you can pay USD$250 for each missing one to convert up. So if you only had one Openspace, you would have to pay USD$750 (3 x USD$250) to convert.

@Yumi: We understand your concern about removing renters from Openspaces, but in order for us to be able to offer that product it does mean that owners will have to abide by the intended use. So unfortunately that does mean that we'll have to ask people to scale down if they wish to be classed as Openspaces rather than Homesteads.


More responses as I read further..



Post #260

Some more replies..

@Cenji: The previous statements about the class 4 Openspaces still hold true, come January those will be upgraded to class 5s and at the same time will move to the monthly fees as announced - USD$95 per month.

@Ceera: Yes, we believe that the limits in combination with a commitment to improve performance technically will be enough. As mentioned previously, the simulators per CPU ratio is one of several options we will be considering. The limitation on needing to already own a full region doesn't affect them being placed apart from one another.

@Aquarius: No, we wouldn't want to disable the ability of boats and other scripted craft to travel through Openspaces.

@Prize and others: We expect to have details of the limitations for scripts before January and will make those public as soon as we can. We're going to be collecting detailed script and memory data for LSL and Mono ahead of that decision so that we fully understand where those limits should be.

We won't be suddenly enforcing scripting limits with no warning, we will give residents plenty of time to adjust their script usage to the right levels, and we'll provide tools to help measure so that there is no confusion.

As for a definition of 'rental' as it relates to the Openspace product, I expect in the large majority of cases it will be very clear whether a region is being used for scenery, for just water and forest, as opposed to it being used to live on. Where there are edge cases, we will need to look more closely.

Post # 614
@Carrie: We're reading all of the posts, many hundreds already. I have a long list of questions taken from the posts so far, and will work through those to make sure that either they get answered here, or they get added to the knowledgebase FAQ. But those answers need to be the right ones, so if we seem slow in replying it's only because we're being thorough and volume of feedback is very high.

Can you believe that!

Start a thread promising to join it to discuss, get hundreds of users giving input and spending thier valueable time contributing, ignore it for a week while thousands of posts are built up, then offer an excuse that one thought the other was handling the discussion, AND CLOSE THE THREAD!

Thanks for the TALK guys !!!!!!!!!!!!

Rude huh.............yeah well, that's how much they appreciate ya!
