They'll just have to make it to where you buy the traits you want.

I don't think so. It seems to be an automated system that just looks at your account creation date.

If a vendor sells a specific item at a specific price, they have nothing to worry about. All others probably do.

I think you'll find that most end up spending far more than what the item is actually worth, and that's the crux of the problem, along with having no guarantee that you'll ever get the actual item you want.

Those are predatory users anyway, so them being gone isn't a bad thing.

No, you still pay money in, but you have to get back at least as much as you put in. It's a violation if you can lose money.

As long as it's a specific price for a specific item, it's not a problem. It just can't be "pay something for a random item".

Government. This has to do with lootboxes in MMORPG games as well. You can sell whatever you want, you just have to set a price and sell a specific item. No rolls of the dice anymore.

This is false. I have never been premium, but my account meets the criteria for 500. I just went premium and I am, in fact, receiving 500.

Where do people get the idea that AWS is cheap? This was a huge expense increase for LL because previously they owned their own hardware, some of which was a decade old.

I wouldn't look for much to change. It's been a finished product in the LL viewer for over a year now. FS was late to the game. EEP is pretty much what it's going to be.

That's a shame. You miss out on so much with that attitude.

I'm glad you said that. I've always respected the wishes of region owners and their lighting choices. I want to see their locations the way they intended them to be seen, not in a glaring light or black of night (unless it's their choice). I get very frustrated with people that walk around with a default windlight set. I truly find it offensive, because I'm one of those who takes careful pains in lighting a scene in a very specific way, and overriding that, well, I'd just as soon they not see it at all.

They've released more than three versions in 16 months. Regardless, you'll be on an EEP viewer soon enough. Enjoy it! Better to get used to it now than when you're forced to.

You will. Only three versions can be used. As new ones come out, the old ones stop being allowed. So yeah, eventually, you do have to use it.

No, actually, you can't. LOL. Unless you think 4 months was long. I don't.

Can't really avoid this one. EEP is on, and regardless of the viewer, you are affected by it. Might as well use a viewer that displays it correctly AND gives you some control over it.

It's an INSANELY easy problem to solve. Have someone with an old enough account sign up for Premium...BOOM...your question is answered. Mine qualifies for 500L, but I don't have the funds or I'd do it myself. Even signing up for 30 days, you'll get the answer instantly.

This is 100% false. If your account was created before the specified dates and you go premium today, you WILL receive the grandfathered stipend. This has been addressed time and again. Your friend is incorrect.

Death isn't a hilltop (knoll)....it's "death knell". And this isn't it....LOL

Hi Christi, Went through this at Boystown, not a big deal. If you want "default" set, download the EEP "test" viewer from LL, log on, set default, and leave it until EEP is finished. It won't be exactly what you had before, but it will be at least similar to the default. Or you can go in and play with the new settings, bearing in mind that non-EEP viewers won't see some of what you change. But you must use the EEP viewer to get back to default on an EEP region as of now. Lee FYI, EEP is STUNNING when you see what it is capable of. We might have had something for 12 years, but EEP is going to be FAR and above better.

I want to drop in a topic that I discussed with Cathy Foil recently regarding the mGroin bone. This bone was supposed to have been linked to the "Coin Purse" slider in Edit Shape. It was discussed at meeting(s) and then it was overlooked. This needs to be fixed before Bento is released. It will help those who create clothing for men (Yes, Virginia, they exist) to make bulges that the wearer can customize rather than being limited to either poorly designed (flat-fronted) pants, etc. This is not a simple thing that should be brushed aside and ignored just because it's late in the game. It's a simple fix and it is both needed and wanted by designers.

That first answer is total BS. "Most viewers" are most assuredly not having trouble with area where there are a lot of avatars. The black-screening that you are experiencing is definitely the result of an underpowered PC or graphics card. What ended black screens for me was LOTS of RAM...I'm talking 16-24GB of it. You'll never see another black screen.
