There is no land for sale on the adult region?

you can still sell land but you can't put it up for sale as far as I can see. If that makes sense.

I've got a block of 3072 that is waiting for someone to make me an offer I can't refuse.. It's actually 4808 but I'm not going to sell the waterfront access unless someone makes me a truly delightful offer for the lot.

better still, go and buy some of my now useless mainland that has to go to the bots tomorrow.

What's your 'ballpark' (on the 3072 and/or the waterfront, not your useless mainland, lol) Or is that a no no to ask in public, what the ballpark is. Was just curious what people might get for some land in Zindra.....is ok if you don't want to say.

As for the "front line people", surely they could have suggested alternatives to the absolute *worst* way to do it in such a way as to highlight that it was a *better* way to achieve LL's objective, and not just a good cry about banning the sex business from the (then) mainland.

eta: i've just had to resell land to shift it around some groups and it's still working for selling to a specific person

So how come you are selling Zindra land, I thought you disagreed with that?

So you joined the bandwagon, sorry confused, you are selling Zindra land, when there are people waiting to still get there land exchange, why would you sell if you did a swop surely you are running a business?

ohhh you mean pretending to be a purveyor of smut to get a swap so I can sell it and make a killing? Absolutely. I only hang around here because I like watching the pain people are going through to try to keep their businesses afloat.

If you want out of Zindra then why don't you just stay on your 'useless mainland' and abandon the Zindra Land?

I don't know what you're reading to come up with that idea but it's obviously not this thread.

This is why I asked you why would you accept the Zindra trade and then sell the Zindra land.

Can someone explain to me the 4 digit ticket #'s I am seeing? ie: 4500 Mine is 4051-6534338 and requested migration on July 9th. My first 3 choices are gone. I have twice now added comment for new choices. Ticket still shows NEW online. I have not found reference as to how many days out they are. Thanks and sorry to change topic.

We have been tracking ticket progress here since the Lindens are not doing it for us:

The last ticket we know of that's complete was filed Jun 29th at 10:17 (ie 17 minutes after tickets opened). Right now yours is the last ticket we know of, and you should expect at least a couple of weeks for them to get to you. In the mean time you can track progress here on this thread, or that wiki page.

There's doing your job, and then there's doing your job, I guess.

My problem with these people (LL management) is that they don't have the business sense that God gave oatmeal.

There are so many different ways to do what they want to do- ways that don't throw their entire customer base into upheaval. Surely they could have picked one of *them*?

As for the "front line people", surely they could have suggested alternatives to the absolute *worst* way to do it in such a way as to highlight that it was a *better* way to achieve LL's objective, and not just a good cry about banning the sex business from the (then) mainland.
There are a lot of good *business* reasons for LL to be doing this in practically *any* other way. You would think that LL would *reward* an employee that said "we can do this with a lot less ill will on the part of our residents, and a lot more effectively besides. here's my suggested plan, what do you think?"

However, at this point, it is too late for there to be major changes in the way this is being handled. there is only time for *changes*, not major revisions of goals or direction.

The fact that we didn't get something better than what is happening indicates one of three things. Either nobody thought of anything better, Lots of people thought of something better but didn't (or felt like they *couldn't*) say anything to the decision-makers, or the decision-makers ignored a lot of better ideas from the rest of LL and bulled ahead with their own toxic plan.

I don't see how the board can be absolved in *any* of those scenarios. Either they are a pack of fools, or a pack of *malevolent* fools. The front-line people are either a pack of fools, or they are a pack of *frightened* fools (who think that going along with a customer service *disaster* is a good way to preserve their job- anyone see the flaw in that logic? No customers=No job)

I'm not saying that it's all the front-line people's *fault* though. But there *is* an opportunity here for anyone with a good idea to process swaps *faster*.

the way that they have been working on the swaps that they *have* been working on indicates to me that these aren't very senior people, who have to keep checking back with the "home office" before making a decision. The rate of swaps being processed seems to me to indicate extreme caution, or a severe staff shortage.

Especially given that the non-English speaking customers will only be finding out about this in dribs and drabs, they will be processing swap requests until *doomsday*.

And that's not even considering the *other* mature landowners (or even PG landowners) who deserve to swap their land for something that has a content rating at least *close* to what they signed up for.

I think that LL will eventually have to do something for them too, otherwise, they will simply have too many cheesed-off customers, and lose too much money.

In any case, it would be the right thing to do, and would insulate LL from legal action- which the LL board seems to be doing back flips to try to accomplish of late.


My point isn't that I'm some sort of marketing/business genius whose advice LL needs to take to survive.

My point is that I'm *not* a marketing/business genius, and even *I* thought of this stuff. which means that LL must be staffed and run by people with less business acumen than *I* have. A frightening thought indeed.

I don't know if this has been brought up here yet but what is up with the flashing overlapping prims on the roads, the hundreds upon hundreds of prim balls serving no purpose under the uh realistic* sculpty trees, the weird lights on the roads which one has to wonder if they're necessary at all, roads in certain sims that peter off into nowhere, and some really wonky texture mapping/offsets/repeats in certain areas of the linden road (i.e. 5 grates one in front of the other...on *TOP* of the curb! Have you ever seen a grate on 'top' of a curb? I have not.) not to mention parts of the road that glow. I mean...the glowing stuff...that really gets me. I'm not talking about resident builds, I mean they actually glowed out the road.

I can't imagine residents moving to Zindra are going to want to put up with that for too long.

After reviewing the wiki, looks to me like the updates are at least a day behind. the 10:17 ticket referred to was closed yesterday.

Anyone out there with tickets that closed today???
