Oooooouch.
When you bought the islands, they DID show on the map.
Bait and switch.
All I can say, is you can't trust LindenLabs and they just prove it time and time again.
(assuming this isn't a bug)

(assuming this isn't a bug) Report bugs like that and give them some time. These are computers we are talking about. You have two choices. Either things can be perfect, but take years to complete, or things can be released before they are perfect and work out the bugs as people catch them. You can't expect everything to be perfect the day after they make an update. Things are already better today than yesterday as far as I can tell. Just keep showing them what is wrong, and give them time to work it out. They are only human. |

(assuming this isn't a bug) Ok, how could you assume this isn't a bug? I mean, seriously. O_o Philip - "Y'know, I know what will REAAALLY phuck with them, lets make the island sims not show on the map... and break the caching while we're at it. MUAHAHA!" <FIC henchmen cackle in the background approvingly> "Bait and switch"? People can't log in, O2O is messed up, and we're in as Torley dubbed it, the "Graystorm of '05"... If you want something to be overly alarmist and spread panic about, there's much better things to play chicken-little about out there. _____________________

It could be a bug, but why must it be?
If you zoom in you can see the islands. Simple workaround. |

If you want something to be overly alarmist and spread panic about, there's much better things to play chicken-little about out there. The bugs don't concern me. They always get fixed. It's the 'features' that freak me out. Because they only get 'fixed' after much screaming and yelling. |

Interesting.. Avalon resolves at a top level zoom.
I wonder if that means LL pays their bills.. Note that cayman doesn't resolve at top level, which if memory serves, was the 1st island. |

Who already filed a bug report on this?
 There does appear to be some sort of magnitude of inconsistency. One thing I noticed is some of the new additions to Heterocera Atoll up to the north don't appear unless zooming in much closer, too. For example, Nerice and Lutra. So islands aren't the only ones! _____________________

The batch of new sims that went up Friday at the NE corner of the new continent don't show up until zoomed in, either. I vote it's a bug.

Avalon is not a private island sim, it has always been a mainland sim and part of the main grid. So lets stop the conspiracy now  _____________________

yeah

It doesnt seem to be just a function of size, because SOME islands, near the mainland, show up. I figure its an unexpected consequence of the new rendering engine thats being used to draw the map. Will bug report it.
Oh, and to those who decry the conspiracy: yall did know that SL is a DOD psyops experiment, right? _____________________

The islands that show up all belong to LindenLabs, as far as I know.
If you know otherwise, please let me know.. |
