From: Lewis Nerd It's a big place, massive in fact, with thousands of people playing ("multiplayer"  . Just a nit... The "massive" in "massively multiplayer" refers to the multiplayer-ness, not the gameworld geography. It comes from the fact that dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of players can interact directly with one another in the game itself, as opposed to something like Diablo II, which can have thousands of players online funneled through Battle.Net's chat rooms, yet who can only play the game in totally isolated groups of 8. |

From: Lewis Nerd But this is Land AND Economy. Note that LL didn't think they were big enough subjects to give separate forums. The two are inextricably linked. |

From: Lewis Nerd LL have, in their own words, created a "platform", which I take as a game, you and others take it as an economic model to be manipulated, others roleplay furries or whatever, others do whatever, be it build, script, create clothing, etc.
What I would like to know is why treating SL as a game is received with contempt by many, yet when others are challenged as to why they do what they do, their style of gameplay is considered perfectly acceptable.
Lewis Perhaps it just echoes the contempt you express for everyone else. Your posts are extremely prejudiced - note "you and others take it as an economic model to be manipulated". At what point do you modify your opinion in the face of new information? You state SL is a game, and must be played that way, despite being shown in LL's own words they did not create a game. Your assertions about the evils of 'land barons' and their tyranny have been shown to be false time and time again, yet still you maintain they are 'ruining' your game. You dismiss everyone who operates a business as 'greedy', attacking the motivations of people you've never even met. If you have no interest in an economy, why do you post here? |
