I have tried now also.

Using Firestorm, these are the screen shots of  what I get.

But that is expected behaviour for me.

I live in a prohibited State.

 

ETA:  Tried with the Official Viewer also with the same result.

That identical to what I, and I believe Stormie, got (except that I didn't look at the sim's profile), and we don't live in a prohibited state. We both live in the UK and have PIOF (though mine mist have expired).

We still haven't discovered anything common about those who can't get in the sim. Perhaps it really is to do with not having entered payment info relatively recently.

My main account's payment info was made many years ago - not updated since then. My alt account's payment info was made yesterday. Both can enter skilled gaming regions. So I guess it's not dependent of when the payment info was made.

I noticed that Whirly Fizzle has made a bug report:

Provide clearer reasons for entry refusal to avatars who cannot access skill gaming regions

I posted in part because the "unknown content" message was mentioned but not the failed TP message which does state the reason.

I'd be curious if someone who can access Skill Regions sees something in the Place Profile.

I went here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fish%20Bowl/220/128/22 (link given by Phil).

I see nothing special in the place profile.

In the Access tab nothing else is checked, except the "Allow public access".

 

Covenant tab says:

Region: Fish Bowl

Type: Estate / Full Region / Skill Gaming

Rating: Moderate

 

PS.

I spotted Morgan Linden in that region. Wearing a bird avatar. :matte-motes-big-grin:

Whirly Fizzle
has made a bug report:


The problem appears to be accounts that dont' have a real-world address on file as a location. If you added payment information recently (within the last couple of years) your billing address was automatically recorded in SL but the earlier system of adding payment info didn't record your address. I have some alts that can access skill game regions and some that can't due to this. There's an option for adding your address manually as well but Whirly's alt seemed to still have problems.

Did you ask her for a Bear?

Umm.. no. Morgan was there just for a brief moment. I didn't have a change to utter anything before the bird vanished. :smileysad:

It's not that. LL has my RL address. I just checked and it shows up in my account. I entered it so long ago that I don't remember when. So the problem isn't due to the absense of an RL address.

Right. It cannot be problem about the address. It's not UK problem either. Whirly Fizzle told what happpens with her accounts (she's in the UK).

 https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-7097

All required details are filled for both of her accounts. Her main account can go to skill gaming regions, her alt account cannot go there.

Today I tried an alt that hasn't bought lindens since 2008 and got in fine with no issues.   Stormie, with the exact same settings, bought lindens yesterday and still cannot get in.   So I think its just pot luck, random...it either lets you in, or it doesn't.

 

I finally got in, but don'ttttt go out there..its bedlam :smileyvery-happy:
