Anyways to simply answer the question. I just want SL to be a place where you can do what ever you want! But I would like to have more open spaces... with less crap in the way... but I know how much servers cost and all so I won't complain about that. But... we dooooo need cities, like make it WAY cheaper to build in the urban centers and have like 3 or 4 sims from city to city.... that's what I want to see. A little more organized. So that we could have country sides.

My first wish for SL, is to be able to drive a car NFS (Need for Speed) style! That's what I wanted when I came in and that's what I want before it goes gold. I wanna be able to burnout... steer, accel, deccel, shift, turning signals, see the shocks absorb bumps , the whole thing! I've see "cars drive" but that was simply floating and really choopy! Not all that great.

I know I will get flammed for this but.... I don't want flying in the game! I think urban center would evolve more without flying... make it harder for ppl to get from point a to point B so that they stay in point A! (before all this we need the vehicle code and less "lag" 1 given city server.

I would love to see like secret club houses in the middle of no where all in camo. My vision of Sl before I came in was that I would own a garage where all the nice car owners would come around park... talk, drink(optional) and then head into town (via ahigh way) to show off the "new stuff" Fast & the Furious style!

This is what I want Sl to be!

I don't think Cities will really take off till the problems with lag are solved. I'd love to see some massive cities though.

How about the idea of having fly/no fly sims? In the no-fly sims, it could be set up so that cars could be driven NFS (I used to play the car games all the time...lol), that way people could chose what kind of lifestyle they would like in SL.

One problem I see about having cars operating in NFS style is the rate of dynamic download at high speeds...the streaming would never be able to keep up. Perhaps something could be done like greatly reducing the "sight distance" while driving, or something like that.

But overall, I love the idea of being able to tear it up on the open highways of SL...maybe someday it'll happen ;)
