  1. i wasn't lucky enough to get a last name.When my avatar was sl born, last names was already history and all new avatars became part of the great /funny/ hated  Resident family.I wanted something original ( not 123456 of other) and with a cute sound.So, after lot of trial and errors, Kweopi was born. I am still not sure about the cute part, but, at least, if i google it, my avie show in first search.

  2. try [Ak] heads  , Altamura,  Logo ( logo have one on a nice sale at ebento fair)

    the heads usually came with  skins but,for better look and no neck lines , i'll sugest some complete omega skins, but   is a personal choice. (90% of the look is the skin)

     
  3. Like any other improvement in any game, BOM will face people who think is the best thing ever made and people with " meh"..overall will give you, posibly, a better control over your mesh body, at least for people with texturing skill, so we can espect a lot of tattoos, freckles, dimples, moles, eyeliners to play with.And , of course, some free video memory on our grafic cards ( for some people that wasn't the problem at all- for some was a big deal)

    when animesh was released, had same history.  i saw lot of sims / persons acompanied by zillions of dancing companions, plus , of course, the slave/ sexdoll industry.

    and the bad side.. land impact.Animesh was not for all. A regular plot , 1024, canot support more than 1-2 animesh items , (plus your house, the sexbed and all that furniture).

    For me , i'll just wait to see how BOM will impact the mesh bodies and skin industry . I have only few good old skins in my inventory, and i am not a very big fan of tattoos.As for the lag from onion bodies and big textures loading time,my sl experience is decent, so i am not in 'wow'  side,also  not in "meh' side too. not in " i wish to..." section

  4. ok. I can understand the frustration of those who bought the first TMP version (5k, a lot of L $) but for me it will always remain a pleasant memory. I had come back after a long absence in sl, all the friends still active were mesh, but I was not willing to invest in the mesh, I didn't know that I would stay or not in the gamel. TMP had the only truly usable free mesh body, and I also discovered enough free clothes so that I wouldn't have to walk just on the beaches. (oh, I remember with nostalgia the first days, when I spent all my time just changing shape and admiring the beauty of my new body - a little vanity doesn't hurt anyone, right?).And the skins, even for the free one, just amazing. So many and so well made. Then, as a shock, in a few months, all the clothes have became free in their store and full body only 500. I spent a few days there and took everything you could get for free :) and I was like heaven.

    since then things have changed a bit. after I understood that SL is a virus you can't get rid of, I started shopping. now I have all the free mesh bodies in the game, plus the paid maitreya, eve, altamura full, and even the lesser known ones from lucyshoes.  the old tmp I still consider it perfect, nicer made than others more expensive (less on the ankles, but that's another problem) .

    would I buy the new legacy? probably not, at least not at this time. Not because of the price, because of the neck problems and the need for deformers. With or without deformers, the old tmp wardrobe does not fit in place. and in order to wear maitreya clothes, I do not need legacy deformers for this. So, legacy owners, give me back my old tmp wardrobe on the new body and we can talk. till then, i'll just enjoy the altamura body with ak head, my all times favorites

    till then, asolution for the neck problems (there are few in game so happy shopping :) )

    I would be willing to bet that Norix owns the rights to those shapes. Copying them into SL would be illegal and a violation of the TOS. Try looking in the MP for full perm furniture first. 

    if they had ownership, the chairs will be branded with the norix logo, or any logo of the owner. Those are common designs, and not very hard to recreate

    .but I have seen this senior model and I think it is kind of cool.  What do you all think of a senior model.  Do you know her name? 

     

    I like the ideea of having al kind of models on stage, oversized, senior, etc. For too much time fashion included only one type of body, a bit to skinny for my taste. We came in all forms, shapes and ages, so it nice to see a bit of realism. But, honest, she need to do something with that hair. a bit of color will reduce at least 10 yrs from her look.

    I have often wondered, not knowing anything about the coding behind SL, if perhaps the code that makes it all run hasn't kept up with the times, Back in 2003 I mean alot werre still even on dial  up or maybe 10-20 mbs at best broadband and can graphic cards and computer memory much much less

    I find myself wondering why he heck I have a 100mbs download, 4 gig Graphic card and 32 gig o system memory and a core i7 processor and yet it seems like I'm downloading SL at times on a Commodore 64! 

    I mean OK even if mesh avies  eat up alot of resources,  it still shouldn't  take that much for a modern computer to handle.I guess i still don't understand why a sim with 30 avies, once rendered continues to operate so slow. just 32 gig of ram should be enough to keep the entire scene  in memory. watching the network on the windows task manager it certainly isn't overloading the download speed and dont even take that long for the initial render to be completed 

    From Firestorm help pages: "One aspect of SL that is often underestimated is the importance of your network bandwidth setting. Having this too high or too low can lead to all kinds of problems, from simple TP failure to being disconnected - among other things. So it is advisable to not rely on the bandwidth stated by your provider, but to check for yourself.

    SpeedTest will give some indication of the quality of your connection. But another very useful indication is ping and packet loss.You can determine these from within the viewer by accessing the statistics bar (press Shift-Ctrl-1). Look for Packet Loss and Ping SIM. Ideally, these should be 0.0% and under 150ms, respectively. The stats bar gives data based on your present location in the SL grid.1)Why the location matters. Second Life has data centers in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. This is why you need to select that city when measuring your bandwidth. If you live far away and do the default test, it will be to a city close to you, which will not give a good indication of your connection to Second Life servers.2)NOTE: The city recommended is not exactly where SL has servers, but is close enough to serve as a guide in determining a good value for bandwidth."

    i posted that in other section too : i have a lousy i3 with 2gb vram and 8 gb ram. Constantly i got 100 fps or more ( around 150 in totaly empty sims - like animesh test ones, and  around 20 in crowded events. it might not be the only thing who save the day net helps a lot

  8. I don't think upgrading your machine is a must for second life. Comparing with your machines, mine look like Dark Ages of computers ( i3 7100, 3.9Ghz,  8 gb ram and 2gb video on some gt  730) i get usually 100 + fps at home and no less than 20 in crowdy places. but i have a good net line and that must be the "secret"

  9. you may never find an alpha  allready made for what you need. to mix mesh with classic, almost every piece of clothes need an unique alpha.Sometimes you can get lucky sometimes don't. make a pic with the shirt you want to wear, post it in wanted, to be in right topic, and i will try to make you one in this weekend if i have time .

  10. Secondlife declining player base?

    old talk quantity versus quality, Years ago, when I joined SL, I had dozens of online friends who didn't pay  more than anything, they didn't produce anything, they just asked for sex and / or bites. No more than 10% were premium, or they owned land in different forms. Now, most of them have at least one premium avatar, spending several hundred L $ a month, etc. I think linden lab prefers to have 50,000 paying users than several hundred thousands who do nothing

     soon as I see "Apply..." I get the impression that I must meet some standard you have set and I don't even know what that is. "Applications" to role-play are actually a put-off. Yes, this is my own view and doesn't apply to many, though I know I speak for many also. Attract with sugar and be sure to leave the vinegar out until you're ready to give it. LOL

    my bet the OP is in the character already. You know, the old - stiff -grumpy principal with 'my way or the highway' atitude .

    Please only comment if you are interested in what I am advertising. Everything else is irrelevant.

    Don't talk in class , the teacher knows better.

    For example, I own a club and entertainment SIM with my SL partner. We don't just post somewhere and say If you want to DJ, apply here. What we do is meet the DJ, see them perform, see how they do and how active they are... then make an OFFER to them to be a DJ at our club.

    I knew there must be a reason to find lot of empty clubs and only few good ones. good point

     I always advertise how I see fits me and it’s worked the whole 9 years plus that I’ve used Secondlife.

     i might try to visit after few weeks to see if your style worked but i am afraid i have to use an alt ( i am sure i'll be banned after my post)

    anyway, wish you good luck with your Academy.

    "Our parts shouldn't talk to us"  

    If you were born male, you'd know they actually make suggestions all the time. 

    what? next you will tell us when a guy meet a girl he don't think "wow, i bet she like poetry, piano songs and long walks on sunset " but rather " nice boobs" or " her ass could be bigger"?

    my world is shattered 😱
