Gopi Passiflora Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I personally attract and retain visitors to my land by putting coins there where people can earn lindens if they collect them. Recently I have tried adding a few games that people can play while they are there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrah Abattoir Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I trick them into violating the local laws and have them tried for a crime they did not commit. Then they have to work the coal mine until they repaid their debt to society. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klytyna Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lure them in by leaving a trail of cookies leading down into the dungeon, then... Hang them in shackles from heavy duty ring bolts fixed into the vaulted stone ceiling, takes up less space and prims than using cages... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't feel a need to have high traffic figures in their homes. Many store owners prefer high sales to high traffic, they don't NEED customers to loiter in the store all day, they prefer people who come in, buy and LEAVE, as that keeps lag down for the next batch of shoppers. The search for massive traffic is mainly a Club thing, massive traffic pushes you up the listings for where to go, massive numbers of people means more potential DJ Tippers, etc. Even social venues... Many would rather have 10 people who are able to walk and have a conversation with each other, than 50 all babbling unheard mired in an unbearable lag pit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Profaitchikenz Haiku Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I quite agree, Klytyna. Strolling round mainland I get the feeling that the empty sims have been built just for the owner's enjoyment rather than to try and tempt people to visit and explore. It shows a distinction between two classes of SL-users, those who like to build or make use of an environment in peace while deeply-absorbed in their activity, and those who want to socialise. Nothing wrong with either approach. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also those that want a private home and want to socialize, but they do most of their socialiizing away from their private home. In other words, just because I don't want to attract the world to my personal home, doesn't mean I don't want to socialize. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is certainly something wrong if there is a limit of merely two approaches, based on a single person's very subjective view. And what a sweet irony: there are places purely meant and built for a long stroll and exploring, yet they sit deserted. Elsewhere, some wanderer comes along and demands access to any private home as if they had any right for it, beyond their explicit lack of any respect. I don't mind opening a large majority of my home plot for folks to enjoy - but if I made a list, I'd end up with a majority of unappreciative jerks trying to act as if they were the plotowner and trying to patronize me. Welcome to the ban list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Legion Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Boiling the Second Life user base down in the manner another poster in this thread did is ... Subjective is by far the most polite way I can put it. Mainland or Private Island, it does not matter in the slightest. It all boils down to the following: Not everyone wants visitors and this does - incidentally - include vehicle users passing through. Having said that, honestly all you can do is offer a space, decorate it and/or promote it (if you so desire) and hope people find it interesting/relaxing/etc enough to stick around for a bit or even to return at a later date.
