please read the blog. you will find your supposition rapidly contradicted.


Contradicted? Perhaps. Who's to say the two aren't connected? Perhaps when a certain number of residents online is reached, LL's ISP package becomes unable to support the load and collapses, so to speak.

Are they having the problems they say they are? Sure. Does that automatically mean that the 20k magic number isn't a cause of that problem? No. LL can say whatever they want, and I'll even be so kind as to believe them. Doesn't mean it's the entire story however. When the Online numbers approached 12k a few weeks ago, things started getting laggier. When they started hovering around 15k, Inventory and database issues started to arise more frequently. When the number mantains at of above 20k for extended periods of time...the grid invariably goes down.

Yes....the blog says one thing. My eyes and experience say another. So...would you rather I believe that I can see and experience....or blindly follow the words of an "invisible man"?

Hey Maggie! You need a bartender for that club? I'm whipping up a pitcher of sangria thatt'll knock you out.

And here I was about to start the high stakes gambling. Good thing the need to pee delayed me some. (/TMI)

I have to say.
I pay rent on here for many shop locations.
When the servers are down so often... Why are we paying for time we aren't using?
Also being a paid user...I expect a certain amount of reliability for what I am paying for.
I spend a good amount of money on here... But the appeal of a system which seems to frequently have update after update after grid down after restricted login after "Oh rent is due" *blink* But I've hardly been on all this time...


Hmmm....

I hope that somehow things start getting more grounded.
SL sometimes ... even as enjoyable and serene as it can be at times...
Isn't always worth all of this aggravation...

Get it together.

Guess I'll be playing Gears of War til it returns, or when the woman comes home.


I decided I have to finish all my Xbox games before I'm allowed to get a 360. Guess I'll go back to working my way through "Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes" which is so bloody difficult that I may not get a 360 for a few years yet, hehe.

Welcome to e-mailing to those inworld while you are off-world. May this addiction serve you well! (passes you apple martini)

So who was taking bets on the grid being down? If we can DJ while the grid is down we should be gambling too! (tosses $L100 into the pot)

I guess sending them crash report messages that ask what I was doing and me replying "masterbating" isn't helping them fix the problem. lol
