Lindens Grumpity Linden Posted July 20, 2022 Lindens Share Posted July 20, 2022 This is pretty unofficial, but I'd like to chat to a few people who've joined SL in the last 3-4 years or less. It's pretty impressive and telling, that by SL standards 3-4 years is new, but there you have it. We're working on a more formal survey, but our chat would help us shape those questions. If you're open to talk, please drop me a line IW or here. Thanks! 5 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I first thought right after the thread went up.

Mollymews Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 i think people in the account age range are worth talking too The question being: What is it about the last 3-4 years in SL that has helped these newish people to decide to continue to log in and contribute to the world ? Remembering that it was about 4 years ago that the month on month decline in tier revenue was halted and stabilised. What part have these newish people played in this stabilisation (a part which is easily quantifiable), but more importantly, why ? Answers to the why, gives qualitative info which can be viewed more rigorously as the info sits on top of quantifiable data 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathlen Onyx Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Honestly it's not the age of the avatar but the login time that would be beneficial. You can have a 15 year old avatar but that doesn't matter much if you have only logged in to play a handful of times. On the other hand an avatar that is 3-4 years or even 1 year old that logs in every day and plays many hours could have valuable information for Linden Labs. Then again I don't know what information they are trying to gather. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I don't know what information they are trying to gather. Given the things they've been working on recently and the age limit, it's a reasonable guess that this is about the new user experience. They'd want people who've experienced the current system, without having any previous Second Life experience. If nobody sees it here, I know there are a bunch of newer people in the Bellisseria Citizens group, as I've talked a few through the basics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katherine Heartsong Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I'd be interested, Grumpity. Two+ years in, went through the usual onboarding issues, and UX is my career. Hit me up anytime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
