Jewel Laurasia Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 LOL just had it happen to me. It scared the crap out of me haha! I think Firestorm viewer has option to turn it off in preferences. Not sure how it's done in official viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 LOL. I'm closer to the San Andreas than Linden Lab, and I kind of enjoyed it. I went through TWO of those tonight (plus I couldn't log in for about half an hour before that, AND my Internet connection failed while I was at the first place if went). I think most people around here would be grateful if we could get advance warnings for earthquakes, and the 'Restart' warning does give you enough time to bail. You're right, though: it's quite earthquake-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 LOL, it happens to get your attention. Some people pay no attention to the warnings then complain when they get logged out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 More useful would be an option to list day three alternate locations to which you could be auto tp'd to. Why do I have to respond when software could so easily solve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaraCarena Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I like virtual earthquakes and want a virtual tornado option too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Toxx Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I like it too; before I sometimes nearly missed restart notifications and kinda resented whatever little remaining time I had to react (or even prepare) to TP elsewhere... plus, sometimes I actually got caught, for not having noticed it at all. Not anymore. I guess it's like the repeated warnings of about-to-expire rental time for parcel tennants; I used to consider them annoying, but still better than actually missing payment altogether and risk eviction.

Phil Deakins Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 They remind me of the stick-shaker system to warn pilots that the plane is about to stall. The stick itself shakes and they have to react quickly or the plane will stall. It's dramatic, and just what many of need, so that, providing we are looking at the viewer, we can't miss it.

A long LONG time user... Lyne I like them. Firestorm makes this even better. • One can use the earthquake effect • One can use whatever sound effect for the region restart - (I have set mine to a loud fog siren, so I can hear it even if I'm having a cup of coffee in the kitchen.) :smileysurprised: :smileyhappy: • And then one can totally disable all region restart alerts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyne As someone who lives in Wiscosin, with the closest fault line (New Madrid) a day's drive away, I welcome the chance to experience an Earthquake without spilling my root-beer!

Perrie Juran Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Maybe they should use a graphics crasher.......... A few flashes of lightening and poof you're logged out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren Toxx Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Perhaps they could just program a huge pic of a middle finger, accompanied by the text “YOU'RE OUTTA HERE, LOSER!!!” and, of course, the mandatory maniacal laugh... ... uh, no, that wouldn't be politically correct, either.

A long LONG time user... Lyne Um... Huh? Is there some screen shaking thing now for a system alert? As for Earthquakes, we Californians have a more lax attitude on those than people not from here. After you've been through a few dozen, and only knew about half of them because they were mentioned on the news... they get 'old'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenMichelle Lane Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Finally, A way to get my attention when I'm otherwise ignoring the message teases on the upper right corner of my screen. Thank You LL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Luna Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Ha! I live 20 miles from the San Andreas fault and I love the screen shakeup. First warning scares me half to death, but then I stick around for 3 more before casually strolling to the next region. I love LL's sense of humor. :matte-motes-smitten: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 We need a group to send TP invites to people to go to regions where this is happening... I want to see this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrie Juran Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Just get a friend who owns an Estate Region to do a restart for you. You could even plan an Earthquake party! Besides, I want to know if it makes everyone's boobs jiggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
