What Linden Labs should be doing that is not being done.

Linden Labs has caused many of us to lose faith in them over the past few months. Starting with raising tier prices to an even more ridiculous level, and now inducing an age verification system that will probably end in 40% of the "adult" SL population being banned/kicked/booted/etc to the less than exciting Teen Second Life. Adult SL is still not as fun as it can be, with constant problems with lag, system maintenance, and an apparent LIMIT on how many people can log on at any given time (I have never seen 80,000 people online at once) without the system disabling log-ins for what can be hours on end. All the BS with tier might be understandable if LL had decided to do something to HELP us beforehand, like maybe switching to more stable servers and rerouting which sims run on which servers to make sim crossings a little bit more tolerable to people. I like to fly a lot on SL in my main account, and the aircraft I use are at the mercy of the sim crossings every time I go up. I almost never make it out of a cross USS-flight without being eaten by them at least three times, and it is very disappointing because it ruins my fun when I have to log out, wait another five minutes for that annoying "Login failed, SL has begun the logout process" window to stop appearing before I can log back in again. Sometimes log-ins have been disabled while I was being eaten alive by the sims massive lag, and I try to login only to find out that I CANNOT. Just one suggestion that would probably make everyone MUCH happier: Before deciding that jacking up already horrible prices on virtual land or putting in place stupid age verification measures that only ruin a lot of 15-17 year old kids fun, try to think what the PLAYERS would have you change first to make THEIR experience one that they would hopefully want to remember. Getting rid of lag over kicking hundreds of people offline. Making sim crossings easier over making land even MORE high priced. Or at the very least make Teen Second Life less BORING before sending all those kids away. The only thing you are accomplishing by booting those people out is getting rid of customers that would otherwise spend money to buy things on SL. (Ah, I see I have your attention now.)

Stability, that's it. Maybe the alleged 'lowend' SL client. I would push for that, I can't use Windlight or those fancy features, I would love to have a client with the barebones. Would make me a very happy boy. Not all of us have thousands to spend on a new computer every 2 years, that is just crazy. Which was what happened to me, I bought a new PC with the intent to run SL. And had it built, and it ran amazingly, well until this past year (200 anyway.

We should all sue LL for age discrimination!!!(but not for too much)
