So, is it the bug fix for the permissions bug or is the asset server going out finally or both or something else? I wish to know so I don't keep spending money on items if the asset server is going to crash and leave me itemless.
Now I also offer a suggestion for you at LL to consider to save stress on the asset server:
Break down storage on the asset server based on service levels. (this is just a rough draft of course but you can get the idea with this.)
1. Paid Accounts: Same level of storage of items as now (indefinite). No changes to item inventory procedure.
2. Basic Accounts (verified) A certain amount of space on the asset server. Also if a basic account does not log in for a period of 60-90 days the items in inventory are wiped to free up asset server resources. (I think anyone can log in once within 60 days to show they are still interested). Account stays active though.
3. Unverified Accounts: Less storage then Basic accounts. Assets wiped if not logged in within 30 days. Account stays active though.
This will save lots of stress and space on the asset server. Would this help with the "missing image", Items poofing from invo and other Asset server issues we experience so often now?
By the way under this system LL doesn't lose the numbers of accounts it is trying to rack up either. So it keeps the investors happy too.
Thanks for reading. I hope this is viewed as a constructive suggestion as it was intended to be.
