I have been in SL for all most twos year, In that time of reading forum and chat in sl every time something new happens or grid crashed or economy take a nose dive the forum lights up with people saying* the end is here* and i laugh. when sl made it so you did not need a ccd a lot of people stop shopping and said sl well not be here in 6 months but it is steel here . The casino left sl every one pulled L out of ginko.now ginko is in deep water. As long as family's have to work all the time and As long as gas price or to high to travel . sl well not go any were it a fun place to meet,chatt and shop :-) the only thing nah saying does it make people wig out for a shot bit of time. *like with ginko* so don`t hold a bell saying bring out your dead, Set back and have fun :-)

Is the sky falling? I thought it was me flying out of control.

If you could check up there to see if a piece of a chaise I was building is there too I'd be much obliged....

The hardest part is that so many people just love to whine. These forums turn into a total bitchfest every time anything twitches. When things are good, it's just the normal handful of chronic complainers but when the whole grid hurts, they come out of the woodwork.

Not that there aren't valid complaints. I just don't think we need a dozen threads per hour on the exact same thing.

Of course, this's a very unpopular way of thinking. I'm sure to get a class action suit against me for saying it.

LOL.... at this point I have no idea what shape or size it is. Between prim drift, random rotation, random resize, et. al. the prim could now be you and you could be stuck up ITS ass..

Obviously we have different people bringing up problems that are old, but are new problems for them. It’s just the nature of a growing SL. People are going to discover the Forum and post their dissatisfaction. What they prefer to hear is that everyone else on the Forum is experiencing the same problems that they have, and chances are there will be some that have. What I’ve been experiencing these past few weeks has been the same as most everyone else. That’s lag, grey goow, failed tp now and then, and rolling sim restarts. I would say that for a good portion of June and July though, especially using the First Look viewer things were as good as they ever were.
I would like to see people be more specific with their problems though. And maybe list some of their hardware specs, like OS, CPU, RAM, and graphics card type. Just by doing that little bit you could maybe get some constructive feed back and maybe even a response that is helpful. Other wise it’s just more moaning.
And don’t get me wrong…I’ve done my share of bitching and moaning too. But I’ve found that does very little to solve the problem.

Probably don't need the redundancy, but anyone who owns an island, or pays up there in tier, owns a business, etc., has my sympathy and a whole hell of a lot of leeway on "whining" and starting a bitchfest.

If this happened with any other service with that sort of money involved, (because, let's face it, that's what this is) I'd be up CS's collective asses faster than you can say "where's my inventory"

Maybe that's the problem. It's being taken too seriously. If this was serious business there would be some sort of safeguard or attempt at a safeguard built into the system...or at least some "show us your transaction history and we'll refund your fake money" system.

But alas, the game (and let's face it, that's what it is) has nothing like that. Play at your own risk.

Does anyone know if people cry on WoW forums like this? I know a lot of people did for SWG but those were pretty valid complaints...and all gameplay related so people at least had some perspective on the situation!

Que sera sera

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I'm sure that the minute WoW users start dropping upwards of $600/mo U.S. on their "game" as some business owners do here they'll get off to a rousing start :)

No, but the game doesn't break every 14 seconds either. :p

...you think people don't already? Just because I spend 200.00 in quarters on a Nascar game at the arcade doesn't mean I should be eligible for the Daytona 500.

Large amounts of money spent doesn't make something not a game anymore. It just makes the spender either a tool or just really into the game!
