So it seems, lindens care more about free users being able to access secondlife then their own premium and paying members...

True note, past 15 minutes now, ive been downloading todays patch, most of you may think, well your internet is just slow, well its not as i tested it with another thing and downloaded about 300 mb in less then 10 mins, as im on a high gaming cable.

Most may even think what im complaining about is usless, however think of it this way, if we didnt have four thousand or so people that are free, minors and not paying, would the download actually be faster? most definitly yes.

Today marks a great day in history for me, i accomplished the ultimate thing, and will continue accomplishing this untill something is done about some situations that you lindens decide to push away and ignore.

As of today, thirty six people (friends) have backed away from premium memberships, and ive got many more to speak to as they seem to all feel the same way, and they'll be damned if they are going to sit around paying linden lab when they choose to ignore estate bugs that havent been corrected, or how about the minors issue, where im constantly running into 15, 16 year olds (not too many 17 year olds).

Then the lovely instability of secondlife is not only costing me money, but its decreasing customer service time, and much more...

For the record, i just hit 12000K on the update, and it marks about thirty five minutes downloading the damn update so i intend on ranting and raving till its finished.

I was told by phillip that things would be thought out before they are done months ago, and guess what? weekly sometimes bi-weekly updates, not fixing the critical problems residents of secondlife deal with on a daily basis, that is why i am having just about everyone i know, and then whoever else roll on our of premium memberships. I'll be more then happy to go ahead and go to a premium membership if the game is worth it, so far, its not even worth being on my computer.

Seems i can compare SecondLife to the famous StarWars Galaxies, which EAGames buried in concrete shortly after changing the game dirastically in such a short period of time, no your not changing the game LL, your simply screwing it up so some of the ones that care about being on, cant even access the damn server.

For the record, i just officially it 15471K

Now, onto the famous things that residents hate the most, and yet lindenlab ignores.

Driving, boating, etc... Damn do i love those rubberbands going from one sim to another, if any business is strongly suffering, i would think its the car industry on secondlife, as frankly, ive stopped buying vehicles, just for the mere fact whats the point of spending a decent amount of money, to just be disapointed and rubberband from sim to sim driving on roads, hell thats the reason we dont have pot holes, well one of the reasons, the other is simply because it doesent rain or atleast ive never seen it, i have however seen snow and well yea, i dont have much to say about that, i mean its snow right?

For the record, im at a lovely 18812K

Hmm, what should i talk about next as the installer is generally 24000K ish if i remember correctly, pretty sad when you can just about remember what range the installer is.

Time to ask my question to linden lab, so they dont chuck my topic as they did in the past, which for the record i was not happy about, but we wont go there.

So whats linden labs plan? avoid the bad issues, make everyone leave or get rid of their premium memberships?
