Well I can see why there would be discrimination against Europeans then. Imagine SL being down during tea time! The nerve.

I think we did used to have Wednesdays off - the afternoons at least.

It was something to do with "tea". That or "crumpets"

-1day + 1 free day = exactly how it would have been had they not gone down.

-1 day + 0 free credit = losing a day anyways.


I agree. They just give back what they took away, however in most cases where the word 'compensation' is used, its used as a term for some kind of bonus or 'extra'.

People used to get all excited about their "free day" when it wasn't anything extra to what they had paid for.

Can we look at it this way.... For those in the Second Life Forums saying they are not getting a service. Look up at the URL of this forum.. You are indeed granted access to this rant by paying your monthly fees. So they are providing you with a service. Just not an Xciting one.. Excuse the pun there. Had to do it.. Some one pass me a drink? Don't care what it is just so its alcoholic...

Bitching and whining really is not going to get anyone anywhere fast, but granted if the situation is as bad as I have seen today and last week, people are going to get pissed off, especially the ones that have in-game financial interests that this aflicts. We Europeans are also going to feel agrieved because of the fact that this happens in our evenings, and most Europeans can not play earlier because of work commitments, while the Americans/Canadians and South Americans can at least for the most part miss most of the inconvenience because of being in work. There really is little point yelling here, unless it is done through structure constructive argument, just saying you are pissed off by this is not helping.




Actually the U.S isnt all one time zone and it is evening in my time zone too. I am EST not PST.

My point was along the lines of by the time this is sorted most of us are already dead in our graves for the night, and probably have missed logging in at all, while you know you still have a chance to log in today. I should have clarified, but I am prone to long posts as it is.

I never heard of compensation as free extras. Compensation was always to me getting something for giving something (or giving up).

How about Tullibardine then? Its an excellent highland malt, distillery is right next door to Glenturret and has the same water source, but the product of their labours costs a lot less.

Erm, think I might be getting a little off topic.

But so will Eastern Time Zone residents. It's 8pm for them now. Assuming the natural bedtime is between 9-10 for average workers, they probably won't get to log on either, and in fact, they never even got a CHANCE to log in, whereas the majority of European players had been logged in at least for a few hours.

This is myl first post. I don't bitch and moan much. But GODDAMIT someone needs to wake up, properly beta test, and get their shit together and Linden. AND MOST OF ALL... I'm sick to death of these idiotic, half-assed explanation, which amount to nothing more than "stories."

Been here maybe 8 months, and it's gotten worse over time. Now... for some GENUINE tech problem I don't mind waiting a bit. But the fact is... this reocurring pattern STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN of a company grown lazy, careless, and simply not up to speed with the technology they boast of.

Truely, it's sad.

I don't complain much either... but I've been here reading this thread since nearly the time sl went down. I think the reality is that anyone who is here doing so is --at least to some extent-- addicted to sl. Who is going to stop playing the game because of all the *supposed* updates?

I *do* pay for the game--quite a bit, actually, but I'll wait and wait and wait -- refunds or not.

Now, is there any of that popcorn left?
How about pizza? Maybe that'll help us pass the time a little...
Oh, and turn on the music, too!

You've been here since February! :P You'll get addicted too!

Actually, most of us here, that I can tell are losing in game money (through sales of some sort) and they are just getting fed up with losing so much so much of the time, or building something in the middle of and crash losing everything.

Or they are supposed to be working in SL right now and aren't MAKING any money.

Well, there's the thing, and in reality, the whole beauty of it:

We don't have to quit playing if we quit paying...

And for those of us that haven't done so yet, we can make sure we avoid doing so until LL's rep improves.

Nothing worthwhile is easy and only death and taxes are certainties in life

STOP WHINING! As I recall the last several updates went off with NO major issues and the grid was up before the estimated time.

I'm no rocket scientist but despite all the efforts of LL to assure a quality - glitch free - update until it is deployed under full load there are things that can (and occassionally will) go wrong.

Stop whining... I come here to Get Away from the whiners!

Lets applaud LL for continuing to work to provide a great platform.. obviously you agree or you wouldnt be so unhappy on the occassions that its down!

THANKS DARREN....

I spit my coffee out when I read that.. and as one human to another I feel I should inform you that Jiffy Pop is EVIL!!!

I haven't gotten there yet... but I haven't given up hope either. Well, I haven't given up hope on getting there, but I have lost all hope in getting some buttery popcorn. Life is just so unfair at times..... it's ok though.. I have bubble wrap...LOTS OF BUBBLE WRAP and we all know that popping it is wayyyyy better than any therapy...... so, I am gonna take my pouting ass over to the corner and pop until I can't pop anymore.....or until SL is back up..... *smiles

*Runs in circles while screaming for all to hear... " OMFG.. I left my bubble wrap in SL!!!"
