Poll: The older you are the more you get lazy/bored in sl?

The older your avatar is the more you get tired/lazy? Is this true??

You might have noticed alot of older designers don't do as much as they did in the early days of second life, some are not even logging in.

Is this true?

Well, my production has personally increased.

well when i was new to the game, i started to do ALOT of stuff, but now i just like to explore more, and just hang out rather then work in sl........... lol

just an example

to enjoy sl i now have to make projects for myself. before i could entertain myself endlessly just exploring, fiddling with prims etc. but now it's gotten old and i need purpose or i usually just end up logging off to street racing in need for speed most wanted.

My life has really changed from my early days in SL. Its not for lack of interest. Its for lack of time. I've got tons of ideas and not enough hours in the day to make them!

A few new prim types might help the prim fiddlers stay interested.

Surely there is some kind of prim that wouldn't be too taxing to the developer's brains or the physics engine to deal. It wouldn't need to be the best most innovative new prim in the world, just anything. That would give prim fiddlers something to play with, and let builders make different looking stuff, which would give gawkers something a little different to look at.

I'd start with a more flexible box.

The current box can have the top size varied in x and y directions.

Give us a box that can have all the faces varied indepently in a manner similar to the current ability to vary the top size in x and y.

Perhaps a cylindrical arc section, that would be piece of a cylinder with a diameter greater than ten?

I'd like to have the option of bending the prim about the Y axis rather than twisting it about the Z axis. That would let you have your large partial cylinder prims, as well as all kinds of interesting new organic shapes.

i don't know that it's laziness per say, but rather that interests change or evolve and people seek new experiences or challenges.

it's true that some people hit a boredom point and have trouble re-inventing themselves or finding new interests. In those cases, a break from SL is usually a good idea.

Since I do not have the RL time or ambition to get into creating or building I think my interest in SL is going to slowly peter out. I like to explore and shop and play games but to shop and play games you need L$ and they have just about done away with all the ways us basic members can earn money to to shop etc. I do not like to shop enough buy $L and I don't have RL time to work in SL so I guess I my experience here is very limited and probably soon to be non existant.

Lately... most if not all of the places I've explored are like going to a "ghost town". Emptiness everywhere except of course the "sex sites". LOL!

You seen one prim you seen 'em all.

No noooo, the other day I was down by the waterside in Murray and there was this beauty of a cube what was the biggest, most succulent prim I'd ever seen. I swear, it was at least 8x11x17m. I was quick enough to catch it by a corner but that was one slippery fella and managed to escape back into the murky depths.

I'm still addicted to my little CAD program I call second life. After building for over a year, I'm better at it and that makes it more fun. Jai Nomad taught me how to snap to grid over the weekend, (thanks again Jai) so I'm still learning. Yes, I know, it's pathetic that I didn't know how to snap to grid.

Snap to grid is your friend!

I'm interested as long as I have a project (or five) that keep my interest piqued... and I still enjoy goofing around a lot as well.

I have to say I'm one of those that feel I get bored the older I get. Of course, I don't create anything, I'm just one of those Social Butterflys, Explorer, shopper.

However, there is something that my rl and sl partner Grim Hathor, along with a good friend Matthais Zander, is working on that has been bringing me IW more often and as soon as its finished (Arcadia Expo Opening Mar. 20), I will probably be IW alot more again.

vvvvvvvv

What's an avatar?

My second life had two significant moments:
1 - The discovery of snap to grid
2 - The discovery of snap to greed

The second moment made me older, lazy and tired.

bored? How could you? Things are ever-changing in SL

Bored of same bugs ticking me off, snap bug still around , cut on prims all wrong, sims crashing up and down , seems to be a habit every time i actually try to build anything,

... so yes im on the "lazy"size, longer i been here more annoyed im getting with the bugs thats pop up and sticks around forever.

But i still like SL, just do alot less then i used to now.

heh, when I started I played for approx. 6 hours every damned day. now, I play maybe a few hours a week. I don't know exactly what changed. I guess the amount of work required to realize a vision exceeded the return of said realization.
