Attention All Residents

Real quick here. I got in to a discussion with some friends around a table at my house. We were discussing secondlife and what some of its high and low points are. We came up with the following.

Pros:
Overall Great Community
Amazing Creativity
Great Place To Show Off Our Imagination
Endless Possibilitys
Beautiful Women (we were all guys)
And Beautiful Graphics being it only 40 somthing MB.
Theres more just cant think since its 1:40AM =P

Cons:
Asshats that bring political shit in to the game
Asshats in general
L.L. Not doing mutch about the political Asshats
Sometime seamingly unfair punishments from L.L.
Little Overpriced on monthly fees
Not enough prims for how big the land seams
Cars Glitch Through Sims Sometimes Not Stoping Till Reloging
More Could Be Done With The Building Controles

These are just some of the things we came up with. Dont wanna bore you all to death with the list . Lemme Know what you all feal as Pro's And Con's of secondlife, Aswell as what you think of what myself and my buddys came up with. But dont get us wrong This Game RULES!


The Fiz

Show me an online game where they don't.


Show me an online game without them.


They have a set TOS, people who break it get punished, those who don't break it, don't get punished. Better than them changing the rules all the time.


Dunno where this is coming from...


Is the cost to run the server, and the man power to maintain it.


More Prims = Less Performance = More Complaints - or - More Prims = Better servers = Highly monthly prices, which you've already said you think are too high.


With you on that one, but they're working on it, should be improved with Havok2


Dunno what you mean about that, but if you want something done add it to Feature Suggestions.

I just read over that and it seemed a little serious, so I'm gonna add some smilies..

SL is pie.

Beautiful Women (we were all guys)
I noticed that people don't comment much on the women when they find out the hawt uber babe is actually a hairy, fat man in RL.

Cons:
Asshats that bring political shit in to the game
Asshats in general

They are everywhere. There is no escape. And they are reproducing...

Now where's my kiss emoticon?? Why is there no kiss emoticon??

I love the building.

I really enjoy my work as a Greeter.

I have made some good friends in game.

I enjoy running my "Guided Tours" around the game from time to time.

But.... now I've built, and run out of land.... I am beginning to struggle to find things to do with my game time, thanks to the misuse of the events calendar and the difficulty of finding things that aren't *ingo related.

So? It is still a con, even if they exist everywhere.

Not a very meaningful con. It's like saying that a con of the 2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is that the cars are unable to lift into the sky and fly around when traffic congestion on the ground is bad. It may really suck that they can't do that, but if everything from the Pinto to the Lotus Elise suffers from the same problem, what's the point of complaining about it?

Pretty good summary, Fizban. For me, some of the pros are very compelling pros; while some of the cons are an extreme turn-off.

I voted for 'love it.' I've a completely different list of pros and cons though:

Pros:
- Virtually guilt-free shopping
- Nearly endless avatar customization
- Lots of creative, talented, interesting people
- Lots of freaks just like me

Cons:
- Underdocumented. I'm aware of the SL Wiki, but I've honestly never found an answer to any of my questions there. I plan to contribute to it once I'm more well-versed, but I still struggle with many little things at the moment. Most scripted items I've obtained (collars, animation overrides, um- body part enhancements) could be much better documented as well (a responsibility of the content creators, admittedly).
- Hard to find the "cool" places. Sure my idea of cool's different from other people's but the current "Find Places" feature just sucks. It's more like "Find Campers." I rely on friends and just plain random teleporting to find anything fun.
- It's almost too big. I know there are tons of people on at any given time, but sometimes they seem so spread out it's hard to find folks to play with. I don't necessarily think it's an addressable problem though, and there are pros to the scope as well.
- That whole dragging-items-to-the-ground-to-open-them thing bugs me to no end.
- Lots of freaks just like me

There are simply no words to describe what I feel right now seeing this.

":eek" is not a smiley.

More of a grimacey.
