Script deployment service

Easy for you to say, Eggy. If I want to play SL fulltime (and I do), I need to finance that somehow. Unless youre offering me a place to sleep and some bread and water each day and a computer and an internet connection? (In which case I accept )

If you're willing to move to Lisbon, Portugal, that could be arranged
Now if only you looked just like your avatar IRL

Az, if you cant get a job as an engineer or game design, anything that has to do with codeing (because your damn good) then this world isnt just.....well it isnt but you know what I mean

Complain all you want about not finding free scripts of mine, because I'M NOT A CODER.

I play this game for fun, and I design REAL buildings to earn my REAL money.

What I object to is the introduction of real money to what was up to now a fun place to play. If you're looking to make real money, I suggest you find a job. There's plenty out there for someone of your talents that'll earn you 100x what you'll ever make here in the next 5 years.

(For those of you coming to this thread late, understand at the time of the original post the fees were listed only in $US. I think this is a neat idea but I object to the attempt to take this universe and swallow it up into the screwed up one we had before.)

There are two dangerous extremes here: the man who charges thousands of REAL DOLLARS for a service, and one who gives that service away for free to ruin that person's hard work. Well, Eggy, with this comment, you put yourself in the perfect middle of the two.

It is just a game, and if you don't want to be payed in fake money for all that effort, don't put in that effort. You're forgetting that there is no equivileny to RL$ because YOU CAN'T EXCHANGE L$ FOR RL$ ON YOUR OWN. If you're not in the mood to put in all that effort to something with the value of monopoly money (less even, because there's no real paper) then SL may not be for you.

The real purpose of money in SL is to
a) Make people feel justifyed
b) Encourage people not as willing to share as Eggy to contribute to the community
c) Give services of higher calibar more "rarity" in the world. This, unfortunetly, is not something of such high calibar it deserves the price tag it has. If I need this service, I'll do it myself.

See Christopher and Rhysling's posts regarding script activation bug.

Yup, and that's why those prices don't really matter. You can't "force" people to pay prices they feel are too high, either someone will come along and offer it for cheaper, or demand will be nonexistent. If someone is willing to pay $50 US for an SL script, well, that's their choice. (But they're still weird, or else that better be a hellofa fancy script.)

Treating SL as a RL business or job strikes me as extremely silly (no offense to anyone who does this), I don't think it's going to happen.

As an afterthought and disclaimer, I think Azelda should be able to charge (or attempt to charge) whatever he wants, and we shouldn't pick on him for it. (Too much )

LOL! I'm sorry I couldn't help myself!

Okay, Azelda, THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS!

50k to set up? ARE YOU MAD? 2k for continuing service is equally ridiculous...

Also, you STILL havent responded to the whole shutting-off-when-given issue. Is there something you would like to tell us, Azelda?

Now, Have you had ANY subscribers to ANY of your outrages services?

As for playing SL Full time, thats a nice dream and all, but thats all it is. A Dream.

You missed a 0 there ... its 20k for continuing service.

Way to expensive for a few llGiveInventory commands......

Crazy pricing like this is what causes inflation.

JEBUZ!

Okay, Take what I said before. Now double it.

Crazy pricing like this is what causes bankruptcies. Inflation is a natural result of increasing the amount of money circulating.

> Way to expensive for a few llGiveInventory commands......

The hard bit is not the GiveInventory, the hard bit (or not that hard cos I've done it) is to set up a system capable of automatically distributing a script to multiple locaitons worldwide.

Something that I should probably point out explicitly: if you have less than 1k scripted objects, you do not need this service!

This is targeted at projects with at least 1000 objects containing the same scripts. If you have less than 1000 objects, you can do it by hand.

Azelda

*AHEM*

I think you're targeting a market that doesn't exist. I don't know of anyone who has 1000+ objects with identical scripts. The closest I've come was when I had 60 firebirds rezzed for the New Years' party on the island. Normally, I don't have more than 20 or so birds rezzed at a time.

maybe in real life... In a virtual world it's cause some decides to charge a crazy amount and someone says "duh, ok i'll buy it". over time more and more people do it, then everyone has to do it to buy anything 'cause people keep asking for crazier prices.

So you cross a sim boundry and go back. James Miller and I made something like that. It's not 50K + 20K a month worth of hard.

$100 setup and $50 a month maybe... even then i would need a pretty good reason to use it.

I have many projects that qualify ^_~. Then again, I don't need this service hehe (already have multi-sim grids). Nor do I see how it can currently be implemented, but maybe I'm missing something.

Xylor

Yeah, I probably should have said "anyone except Xylor Baysklef". I was taking it for granted that you'd done something on that scale.

And people stated that my company charges too much money....
