How long would you recommend I wait before attempting to rez anything from my inventory? A day? A week?

Considering what happened after the last update I think this is a perfectly reasonable question to ask, and I would *very* much appreciate an answer. And please, I would like an honest answer, not just some rose-colored "Oh it'll be fine, cheers!" answer.

I do not wish to lose any more of the *Actual Real World Money* I spend on items in SL trying to rez things and having your system just eat them. ((Read the previous line again please. That's right, I lost MY ACTUAL REAL MONEY in the last update, so I would like you to take this question VERY seriously please.))

Eithnie, *extremely* angry now, and getting angrier with each day that passes...

*Actual Real World Money* refers to the fact that I bought the Lindens from you with my US Dollars to purchase the items that your system lost. Just so we are clear.

We never plan to release a version that will delete or destroy content, inventory or otherwise*. Therefore it is impossible to say 'when it will be ok to rez' and not a 'Oh it'll be fine, cheers!'. We do test, and we do expect it to be fine.

If you are concerned I would recommend rezing copyable items first to 'test the waters' since they will never leave your inventory and won't be lost.


* Extreme circumstances, such as exploits, may cause us to change features that some content relies on. We try to announce these changes in advance when we can, but this isn't what you are complaining about anyway.
