Hi Torely :)

Why do we have updates every week now? It takes several days for things to settle down and bugs to be fixed, then we have about 1 or 2 days of things being back to normal, and then another update. So we're only getting 1 or 2 days a week where things are running smooth and playable. It's very frustrating and relaly hurts businsses and content creators.

Personally my sales drop by over half for about 3 or 4 days after an update, then they get back to normal, then theres another update. I'm sure big businesses will be put off from investing in SL due to all this.

Can't you please change it back to once a month?

Hi Leah, some of the recent updates had to rapidly be done to address outstanding stability issues--you can imagine if they were left unfixed, things would only get worse! On the whole, the long-term vision of what we're working towards is being able to update (generally speaking) without having to bring the grid down in such a drastic way. Also, a more ample release schedule, as you mention.
