View Locking - Okay, for my carnival, view locking is Crucial. I'd love to be able to take control of an Av's view and lock it to the front of my rides in Mouselook. As it is now, people in mouselook get a wonderfully chaotic and totally unrealistic view of the ride twisting and turning around them.


Notecard writing - I'd love to be able to write to a notecard with a script.


Random Teleporting - I Absolutely do not want free teleporting - it ruined the sense of commnity in TSO. However, I think a Random $5 teleport would be interesting and would promote exploration of new places. I try and force myself to explore, but find myself flying over the same places.

I have others, but always forget them at crucial moments like this ;) Should start writing these things down.

Just read the Feature Updates.


Hallelujah! Gonna get a vehicle view. Can't wait.


Not sure that I like the idea of the telehubs. This is a bit too close to the idea of free teleporting that I mention above. The Lindens are equating these to Subways, but you have to pay to use the subway. Hmm, not sure. . . .

It should be interesting seeing the new Telehubs. I dont really understand the idea mentioned about walking to places once we get to our telehub destination, we will still beable to fly, right? I would pay $2 to telehub places, just to help the economy some. $2 is much cheaper than teleporting as it is now, and just a buck more than rating someone. Should be interesting either way.

It all depends on how many hubs there are.

Are there 4? (about 1 for 10 sims) 10? 9about 1 per 4 sims) 40? (about 1 per sim) or something else?

It is my impressions that people concerned about the free teleport factor are not the ones that will be concerned in the end. I mean it seems like there will be less of these than people are thinking. I'm guessing at most 1 per 4 sims, maybe closer to 1 per 6 to 8.

So the idea is that there will be a few places people can get free teleports from location to location. But even if you get a free teleport you will probably have to walk or fly or hitch a ride a sim or two or who knows.

I actually like the idea. :)
