Just a general observation that each 'update' always seems to cause problems and makes the entire experience less fun.

After every update the forums are filled with people experiencing constant crashing, inability to log in, etc. etc. (myself included)

It would seem that there would be a point where we could reach a level of technical 'coolness' the gee whiz neat stuff that the 'average' player would be happy with.
Sometimes I wonder if by this time next year, due to the constant updates, only those two or three people that can afford supercomputers (Bill Gates or Warren Buffet lol) will be the folks with a machine good enough to not crash all the time, and can enjoy SL.

So far my guess is that people with marginal pc's (like me) can still play and enjoy the game. But each time we get an "update" (remember your government is here to help you, yeah sure), more people are left behind. Not because they dont want to play but because they can't afford the cool goodies for their pc.

Let's try if possible to find a reasonable balance. Best wishes to everyone.
