    CasperTech Acquisition Discussion

    Well if you haven't experienced it as a user, let me just say as someone who used all three:

    As Hippo was to JEVN, so Casper was to Hippo.

    LL have acquired a top-of-the-line product/platform here. Their quest to 'build a better inworld vendor system' just got a huge leg up with this acquisition.. and they got a parcel rental system to boot. If they had to buy something to get a head-start, in my opinion, they chose wisely.

    Well said Puddles 🙂
    There will always be negative ppl but it's costs of running a bussiness and I don't mind paying extra if this means in the future it will even rid of scripts and it will be integrated into the prim you rezz, select your item , boom, done, less lag.. or better yet list on casper : auto list on MP.. the possibilities are endless now, I can't wait to see what happens.

    Zuckerberg Comes for the Metaverse

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    I've said this in an interview once, In my opinion it is still too early for the metaverse or anything VR related. the vr sets are still too expensive for a normal family with a low or medium income, it's not like inventing facebook when everyone already had a PC.
    The hardcore gamers that use VR , theres very little good VR games out there and even the good ones are ... debatable.. so they prefer going to VRchat and derp and troll around.
    in regards to zuckers metaverse , his reputation has gone to ***** so bad.. i don't know if he can pull it off unless he does something COMPLETELY mind blowing wtfbbq holy ***** this is amazing out of this world.
    not to mention that FB now is the home of grandpaws and meemaws , GEN Z is all up in tiktok and weird stuff .. metaverse is not enough to excite them.
    the previous thing that got hyped was stadia and sure its handy but they made it seem like they invented the wheel or something

    FB has tried a virtual worlds before i think 2 times even i also remember something called cloud or something , i mean look at sansar ..it was just too early.
    stuff like VR needs to be optimized, the price needs to come down massivly for a good VRheadset, it should cost as much as a PS5 controller basically  before everyone will get one and they need some work, i got one at home and ive played a few games but it is such a pain in the ass just to set up, to put on your head , it weighs a *****in ton , the controls are mostly *****.. untill VR is completely user friendly and priced favourably only then can vr virtual worlds become an actual thing.

    SL is what it is, people that join SL and its not their thing, they will leave.. but i have noticed if people stay .. holy crap do they stay.. not just a month, but they stay for years. and that is something i rarely see in a "game", its like GTA5 online where a community just stays when they join and enjoy it... they just stick around.
    SL also has the one thing that people come back to once they get into it and it's the adult section, once that goes , yes SL might die..
    weither you like it or not, sex is a great seller.. i sell stuff and people go for the risk-ay , outrageous and adult items before they will go for the "boring" stuff.( if only the 18+ tiktokkers would know because they would run into this place like crazy they like to be controversial and rebelious which is exactly what they can do in SL but no one is catering to them )
    In this facebook metaverse sex and adult stuff wouldnt be a thing unless they have a direct teleport to the pornhub VR zone... which.. yeah /me doubts lol.
    SL is from what i can tell , owning a bussiness not dying out (YET), sales  ,new (and returning) customers had actually gone up a lot in the past 2 years due to the covid pandemic. For me personally 2007-2008 , 2013-2016, 2020-2021 were the sudden peaks for SL.
    if SL is smart about it they will try and keep working at it to optimize this place and cater to different audiences. But i do fear it will reach a form of death at some point in the next 10/15 years

    Just my two cents on the Metaverse Facebook hype

    all in all i do think some cool stuff is coming it will just take some more time.. maybe 10 years orso..
    it's  not like in the 80s/90s where technology went at lightning speed all of the sudden. .. which was pretty epic to witness

    New Gacha Policy Discussion

    The only problem I see with this is that a random person could make the purchase after you paid for an item and a new one shows up, if he's quick enough. So you would probably have to make some sort of "exclusivity timer" for every purchase and the next one. I guess.

    Not sure how this would affect lag and the overal shopping experience, as people would have to patiently wait before they can actually purchase something. It could also possibly create some problem concerning who would have access to said vendor, after the current buyer is done. I guess that could also be corrected with a high number of vendors at the same place, which, again, I have no idea how it would affect lag and the likes.

    It's a nice idea, but definitelly needs some polishing, imho.

    I'm sure scripters /events /markets will adapt and create something, they found a way around the gambling deal with adding skill gaming , they will find a way around gachas and create something new. it's the way the cookie crumbles in SL, people will find a way to make something new and exciting again, thats what i love about SL.

    like ive said before in here, for every ending theres a new beginning.

    Just wondering- assuming that the gacha creators will turn their gacha products into regular sale items (like regular stores)

    If I go and buy a ***** ton of gacha rn (usually $75 per item) and resell them when the gacha items turn full price (most products average around $300) for a discount ($80-$200), would that be profitable? :o
     

    yes it would

    I agree with people saying it’s very short notice they could’ve done the announcement earlier , I’ve heard rumbles about this for a while now. But for someone that has made huge gachas , it was fun while it lasted but I do feel it has run its course, I already had decided last Halloween was our final gacha so this comes at a good timing for me personally.I feel bad for the ppl that make a living off it but who knows , every end has a new beginning :)
