From: Susanne Pascale I have never heard of "patiance." I HAVE heard of patience and I believe that most of us paying customers have been patient. The technical problems are compounded by LL's unfortunately extremely poor communications with their customers and their simply pathetic customer service. Contradictory statements, issue dodging, obfuscation and, perhaps, out right lies by LL executives do little to foster an atmosphere where patience and trust can fliurish.
Let me ask you a serious question though, Mortus. How long SHOULD we wait for these myriad performance issues to be resolved? What would be a reasonable amount of time? How about until after your next land use fees are due and you get double-billed because you couldn't sell your land since search and teleporting were broken? |

From: Lord Steadham In the 80's, Toyota sat back and watched Nissan come in and make mistake after mistake with their foray into the luxury car market with Infinity. Then they launched Lexus and kicked major ass.
LL is Infinity. I can't wait for the Lexus of SL to roll in with a workable platform. They certainly have the perfect blueprint of how not to run this type of company. That's an interesting point. Sony's "HOME" for their consoles is a stab in that direction, but of course won't even come close. Obviously Maxis blew a golden opportunity with that ill-conceived nonsense that was The Sims Online. A Blizzard Entertainment level of quality execution with a Google level commitment and resources would kill Linden dead in its tracks. But it's not profibable enough for Blizzard most likely and Google would probably try to make some sort of boring real world version where we are walking around in the Street View of Google Maps...thereby missing the point of SL altogether. Still, there's only so long LL can sit around and squander their first mover advantage. |

From: Hyperia Ennui ...Obviously Maxis blew a golden opportunity with that ill-conceived nonsense that was The Sims Online... Boy oh boy, did they ever. As for myself, I've already sold my mainland parcels, and rented land on an island (residential only) since my one true love is, and always has been, building. I haven't done anything commercially, only for myself, because I love to see a simple prim cube turn into something completely different and amazing. Sadly, I'm considering pulling out of the store-rentals I have because, well, most of the time people can't get to them anyway, with this TP issue or that Search issue. SL is a wonderful place. I have only a few other "virtualities" to compare it to, but conceptually it wins hands-down. What it boils down to for me is the people I know here (and meet daily) who bring a laugh or a new perspective. That will probably end up being the only reason I stay here at all (after going basic and giving up rentals both professional and personal). That is, if I can see them online consistently or TP to them.... |

It will probably happen like most other "ground breaking" things the web started... for example... Netscape... a bunch of programmers got sick of the corprate buying and left to make Mozilla/Firefox... Mambo, a bunch of programmers got sick of the game and left to make Joomla!.... Steve Jobs got fired because he was too forward thinking, left made NeXT, came back a few years later PWNed Apple and everyone else with the iMac and iPod You are correct... Sooner or later the good programmers and workers at LL will get fed up with the same crap we are fed up with and they will leave and start a better one. |
