    I like it. It's for those who like bigger/curvier shapes that are not super realistic. As SL is a place with a wide variety of tastes and types and interests I think it's less of a niche body than it's spiritual predecessor Sking (the one on that very old photo posted there).

     

    It can look pretty cute and more "mainstream" if you can manage to make decent shapes. But in a world full of basic shape Maitreya, it's not surprising to see some people shocked by it.

    When will SL be brought to the mobile era?

    in Second Life Web

    Posted

    Good day!

    I been without a desktop for a while now and after the only phone that handles Lumiya died I haven't had much chance on coming in SL other than a glitchy text viewer for emergencies. So, missing a touch of a virtual world I ventured myself again on SL's biggest competitor (I won't name it because I imagine it's against the rules?) and was baffled with knowing their regular online user count is around 90.000. I'll make a quick comparison between both platforms that corrobore with why I was astonished to know that they have almost twice as active users as SL has:

    THEY:
    - Limited movement, you can only stand on premade spots.
    - Money hungry, they charge EVERYTHING, they have a VIP package, a Mature content package, they charge you to change your name, to get married, to create certain contents (charge a LOT) and they would probably charge your sneeze too.
    - Lower graphic quality (which can be either a pro or a con depending on your setup, any toaster can run it)
    - Limited creation capabilities (I didn't see many good looking stuff there, the ones I saw were suspiciously close to SL products I know)

    But they also have:
    - Free "home"
    - Official mobile support on both site and app
    - Good CSR (at least when I tried it it was fast and efficient)
    - Lower cost for their currency

    I believe their bigger numbers are mainly because they have a mobile app that works fairly well. Which leads me to the question:

    When will SL officially supports mobile?

    At least the website? The only mobile friendly part of SL I visited so far is the forum (I'm currently on a borrowed machine, or I wouldn't bother typing all of this lol). Both website and marketplace look heavily outdated and if you want to do a quick look using your phone you're prone to headaches.

    I know SL is a much more complex virtual platform than the other one is, but if someone had the initiative to make it possible (with Lumiya) why not the LL team step forward and provide not only more access to it's users as well for a better support for who can't (or simply won't) be in front of a desktop or a laptop for long periods of time?

    I wanted to enrich this topic with a research but since I don't have a lot of time for a deeper study on SL population, but work ate all my brains so I could only come this far on the topic. Link to a study that illustrates the mobile usage over the past years: https://www.pewinternet.org/fact-sheet/mobile/

    I almost intrigued with the Legacy body to be honest. It looks good on male... But L$5000 and no omega support... 😥

    I do agree the HUD is quite annoying. It depends on the media like... why? 🤨

    Because every applier is stored on their server instead of locally. Tee main concern with that is, when they decide to close down, people will lose their appliers. Good thing bakes on mesh is coming sometime.

    Yes.  We are, in the background sekritly planning for the end of SL in general and ... um ... basic accounts in particular ...until only the Premiums remain? Does that sound right? I may have mixed things up, it's late, but you get the gist.  

    Seriously, we've tried very hard to be as transparent as possible about our plans.  I don't know if there's anything specific you have in mind that we've left unspoken :)

     

    Just asking about new ideas or technologies that are still being under consideration for the platform, I just like new stuff. xD

    Are there unspoken plans for SL in general and Premium accounts?

    It's true that the past couple years or a bit more I have seen way more changes to SL than my entire lifetime here, which is great. I really wish people started giving it attention again, most I seen on the internet seem surprised to know SL still exists.

    We took a sail along to the edge of the houseboats and can confirm the moles are sweating buckets prepping land for more houseboats and more homes ! I must say  Bellissaria is proving to be a phenomenal success story for LL and for residents, and I am really pleased about that. I don't care how strong the rules and regulations are, keeping it looking fantastic is all that matters imho. Don't forget skyboxes are permitted above 2000m as well for those seeking a bit more .. ahem .. privacy. Mines barely visible from the outside ...fdgdgvffdg.jpg.6ce729676dfad1b31a927844dd7f3196.jpg

    Heres the rgb for this color ..

    and IM me for a free gratis skybox if u want one they's 2 rooms and 1 prim mesh and set for houseboat footprint ... inside shot .... yes all u see in 1 prim clever me :D

    That's neat but I think it only works if everyone has the same sky setting, it'll be probably visible at night or other windlight settings.

    TMP Legacy mesh body

    in Your Avatar

    Posted

    The mesh is decent, but still inferior to Belleza Freya. The """""universal fitting""""" system is utterly crap. The most impressive thing about the body are the skins that come with it (imo) and a few details on the mesh itself.

    I admittedly bough it out of excitement, I should've waited more. They still have the same bad applier system that's hosted by them and still probably not going to have omega support. Apparently they are also requiring RL information from creators to share their dev kit and saying they have a partnership with Adobe (which doesn't seem to be true).

    I'm sad I invested on it because I think it'll fade into oblivion soon enough.

    Staff wanted for noir/fantasy role play.

    Good evening!

    I'm starting a little role play created based on several different movies, games and elements of geek culture. The area is already fully built, what I'm looking for is people to help me handling the story and the advertising for the place. I already have a scenario to start from, but I think having some people to help out will be better than doing everything basically on my own.

    Since I don't know if I can post here the site URL, I'm leaving the landmark for the place and feel free to reach me either here or in world if you're interested!

    "Fake child" (avatars) and adult lands

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    Good day!

    There is a topic going on in a SL group in facebook where a guy who controls a child avatar says he can be wherever he wants to be that this is not against TOS. Though I've read several times that child avatars (even if controlled by an adult) cannot be in any way near adult related content.

    Can someone enlighten me, please? I've looked into the TOS and I either lost something or didn't look carefully enough because the only mention to children there that I seen were talking about actual minors in real life.

    It all started over a club announcement about looking for DJs and such and that they didn't allow child avatars (as all adult places I know do).
