From: Jon Hunt THe major problem I am having now is how do I attach it to my body. And when I do attach it, how do I put it back on the ground so I can re edit the length and what not? I know how to do the "right click attach" commands, however it attaches the middle of the cape to my waist, not the top, so it looks like I am holding a shield or something rather thaan wearing a cape lol. any ideas? Hi Jon, welcome to SL! When it comes to attaching objects to different parts of your AV, the best thing to do is once you've attached it to the point you want, press Ctrl+3 to bring up the edit menu and you can adjust it whilst it's on you. It's usually easier to do this on a "pose stand", which I can send you one of, but you'll have to give me a couple of hours as I'm at work at the mo. Also, to yourself and Elora, you can use the Find>People to send each other IMs, even if you're offline. Might make meeting up easier, plus once you have you can use the friends list, which will tell you if one of your friends logs in/out. |

I think you're right that the new user experience can be daunting. The offical introduction tour is good but it needs to be followed up with some really useful hints once you are let loose on the world.
I also think it was a bad idea for LL to stop giving new users startup cash and a small allowance. I know the issue they wanted to fix was too many lindens in circulation but I think they should give ya the 250l they used to and start with a 50l a week allowance that is reduced 10l a week until it ends. By then a user will have spent over a month in world and will be more motivated to join as paid or buy some Lindens.

From: Ingrid Ingersoll
This post makes me wonder if there should be a buddy system for new players. Thoughts?
As I am still rather new, I occassionaly hang around at one of the Welcome Areas and sometimes someone asks me... and I tell them what they wanna know and the things to take care of with it. And it often comes to the point where we make friendship. I don't think that it needs to be institutionalized more (and to death in the end) than that. I can think of wearing a "friendly to new people" tag (don't think that it needs a group for that) ... as it is more a personal attitude. (And neither "Live Helper"  too anonymous and better to question if no one else is accessible) nor "Mentors" (does someone want to have a teacher?) serve that purpose Another thing that turned out quite nice was having (and becoming) a roommate... regularly meeting a nice person at one place was my best experience so far. Unfortunately my current house has no room except one next to the bedroom which is a bit awkward :-/ ... but I still think about giving it away to someone new (maybe I have to push me a bit more to do it). However I think it is still a personal thing someone decides to do. It could occur more often and become a movement. What about it, Ingrid? Play ahead... |

Well I just had to add this comment with all the positive feed back I am getting in game. There are many of you, that have helped me get started just by sending me a message in game asking if they could help or what not. This type of help, and friendship is ever so valuable whether in game or in real life, and a truly thank you for it.

Thank you for helping me make my introduction experience a good one thus far. I still have lots to learn, and thankfully, I have some of you on friends if I ever need your guildance.
