Hey its Christmas and we are supposed to be happy...
With every patch LL introduce more problems arise. SL can be offline for a while, bugs take a long time to be reolved and lag is abomnable.
In SL's TOS, they are not obligated to credit us for any outages. Interpretation - If the game is offline, unplayable, we pay the money and don't get to play.
I have bit my tongue, lip infact almost ate my mouth trying to not complain about SL each time a patch is released but this time im peshed!
Today I log on and get told I must dl a new version... I presume it's an updated 1.5.8 version. I now cannot TP, takes forever to rez prims or textures, my bandwidth bar (green thing) is FULL and I cannot move, the red bar beside it is FULL and account history takes litterally 5 mins to load.
I am sick of this. Each patch has tested my patience and this one has just pushed me that little bit further. I don't think I can be bothered with this for much longer. I am paying monthly for something that is more of an annoyance than it is fun.
A very unhappy customer

Make sure you're letting SL through your firewall (or turn it off).

Probably the single worst advice I have ever heard considering today's threat of viruses, network security threats, and personal identity/information theft. Shame on you Mole. You had never posted a truly stupid post before that I know of... you did this time. |

What's wrong with turning off a firewall? Up until about a year ago, I ran completely without a firewall, and even now, the only reason I have one is to use NAT to hook four computers up to one cable modem. I've never had any trouble. If my cable modem is out, I'll run dialup without a firewall and without any problems.
There are certain benefits to running Win98, Linux, and MacOS X.

I never used to use a firewall either, until i got the SP2. Now i ALWAYS use it. I have noticed a significant improvment in my computer, eg, no service message popups, no adware installnig itself and when i run AV checkers, I do not have as many hidden virus'. I have uninstalled and it works for about one logon to SL then the next time its back to the same old thing. I have played many online games and lag has always been a problem. It's something that is partially out of LL hands but SL has been the worst so far. Perhaps it's because im living in Northern Ireland... are we served last?  Shame on you... we built the Titanic!!!

No adware? I have a firewall and I still get that.

You had never posted a truly stupid post before that I know of... you did this time. I disagree. Not all of us use that windows thing with those viruses and security threats
