1.8.0

I couldn't imagine having to walk from a telehub!!!

Major Features

-Point-to-point teleportation is now available in Second Life
-Residents may teleport freely to and from locations they are allowed to access
-The landing point on a parcel is determined by the location set by the land owner with the About Land > Options > Landing Point > Set button
-If no landing point is set on a parcel, the resident will be delivered as close to the location specified on the map as possible.
-Estate owners may choose whether to allow teleport via point-to-point or Telehubs
-Parcel owners can block teleports onto their land
-The Z coordinate is honored; teleporting (or logging in) to your Castle in the Sky will now put you directly there!
-The World Map will be centered on the teleport destination, with a button provided to locate the avatar]

I started SL about 2 weeks prior to version 1.4. That gave us:
- Animations
- Streaming music
- Partner box in the profile.

I played back when it was in DOS.

Ok, v1.6 'something' actually.

And my fiancee noticed I havent stuck with any PC Games as long as I've been on SL. Guess that says something, eh?

I joined after the release of 1.2.11 but before 1.3
1.3 was a fun release, we got llSetPrimitiveParams, you could crash sims with it.
1.4 we got user animations
1.5 we got a new shape and new primitive attributes.

*sigh* the good old days, when the grid was small and you could walk the entire grid in 24 hours. The balloon tour, the welcome area and Stage 4. I miss the old Ahern. You would put on your most outlandish outfit just to hang out the Welcome Area.

On my first day in SL I remember seeing this fairy standing on one of the landing pads and fine particles blowing in the wind around her. Looking back on it, it wasn't a spectacular av but at the time I was enthralled. Alas the spell was short lived, my friend TPed me.

My first version was 1.9.1 (the introduction of hardware lighting, flexi and occlusion culling).

From: Release notes (May 11th 2006)

Some subtle rendering effects that were available in Preview with shaders enabled will not be available yet (specular highlights and some advanced fog effects).

Coming Soon
We hope to be able to provide the "All local lights" and "Shadows" lighting options soon, but these rely on GLSL and will have to wait until we have had more time to test the new shaders. We hope to make this available in the next release.

More than a year later we're still waiting

1.4, I started SL with another avatar, which I still have.

I remember I hated TPing to get anywhere, landing in telehubs was the worst, because of the lag from the malls at all the telehubs. Telehub land was expensive and all the shop owners wanted telehub land, ohh and Anshe owned a lot of the Telehub land. The events back then were great, they actually helped you learn how to do things in SL. If you didn't own land, your home location was Ahern. First club I went to was the Shelter. My first land was in Wichi.

Ive been very lucky too. SL works for me most of the time. The release of 1.5 was for me one of the unlucky releases. 1.5 spared no one.

Quite simple really. You begin by stabbing at them with a fork. After a short while they become "Broadly offended" When they leap from your head to post in the forums and "Name Names" you pack your belongings and move to sunny Barbados.

I'll have a coconut drink waiting for you when you arrive. See ya on the beach!

I started with 1.5.14.. and stopped for a while at 1.7 for about 6 months, until I could afford something better to play on than my poor laptop.

1.2 for me, just missing out on the oppurtunity to be a prim-hog and logging into a world that wasnt even 100 sims big.

Anyone still have their Benshee Rezzer Braclet from the first year annivesary gift? Mine is horrible broken now and the Benshees wont go away when you take the braclet off.

Anyone remember Logathon 5000 where we were PAID to try to get 5000 residents logged in at the same time to test the client's scalabity? O wait, stpaulsub does, but it wasnt called Lagalpaloza then, tho it should have been a sign of things to come.

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 haven't thought of Benshees in ages. I recall thinking "Is this it?" After all the hype, I was a bit disappointed.
