  1. scammers will be scammers... Good chance you'll never get your L$. If you do get them, good chance they're leeched from hacked accounts. That's the same way most goldsellers operate in MMOs as well btw, the gold they sell either doesn't exist at all or was stolen in the first place. There's very few where farming for it is so quick and cheap that it pays to employ armies of kids/bots to do it for you (and fewer still where it's allowed), and in those most of the population has so much gold they can farm themselves the inflation has made the amounts you'd need to farm to meet demand too high to employ such tactics.
  2. I've seen it on both mainland and estates, but estates are more likely to have smaller, less experienced, and often less affluent estate agents. These have more trouble covering the revenue loss of a fallow parcel, and may as a result be more desperate (and often more pushy) to rent it out. That said, the most pushy agency I've seen in this regard is one of the mid-sized ones. Though they usually do take no for an answer (I keep running into them visiting old landmarks, just telling them that tends to stop them with an apology and sometimes even a new landmark if the previous tenant moved to a place they know about), they do tend to im people entering the parcel for rent/sale within sometimes second of you entering it.

    recent items is not so much a folder as a preset filter over your inventory that only shows things added to it recently (last 24 hours I think it is). See the top of your inventory window.
  4. I've a friend who was male rl when she started in sl and now is female rl. How does that count in your dataset? :matte-motes-sunglasses-1:
  5. tempted to sign up and submit a picture of Jimmy Carter as my "RL picture" and create a cybernetic furry avatar
  6. Ah, the "SL killer du jour". Every time someone starts to create one SL gets another lease on life as people realise how bad the competition is in relation to SL.
  7. all of the above, plus just because you think your clothes "aren't half bad" does not mean the customers agree with that.

Guidwars 2 has a mix. There's an avatar specific inventory there, as well as an account inventory shared between avatars. And similar with items, you can have items that are trans between accounts, trans between avatars on an account, and soulbound to a specific avatar.
  9. ok, so it's something that changed between the versions of vivox in those 2 versions.
  10. 99.99995% chance that within 10 seconds of going life the first fake "reports" will start to appear, created by people who want to drive their competitors (or even the people they stole content from) out of business.
  11. as husband and wife team, the logical solution seems to make one account shared between you two, and use that for the store. Though technically maybe a TOS violation, it's common practice for people in permanent relationships.
  12. it has everything to do with what was posted. You're assuming LL is responsible for making sure you pay your income tax. LL is not, you are and only you. Your attitude is a typical one however in this "modern" society where people feel whatever they do, someone else must always be responsible rather than them. So now you're holding LL responsible for your tax evasion.
  13. listings for past events never change. And seeing old listings for places that move, often together with new ones, for a while is common too. The new listing is added, the old one stays until it times out.
  14. there's quite a few places selling robes/gowns for Gorean Free Women. Maybe the often semi-medieval look isn't for you, but they definitely aren't revealing For F's Sake are good, and Vigo creations. Or look at Creative Chaos (but cheaper usually). Would give more places (including some more modern ones) but not in world right now and no access to my list of landmarks. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/22769/203/164/30 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Marsco/68/68/393 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/coldLogic/46/110/23 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Eleven/56/64/22
  15. it can still happen, but is much rarer now. IF it happens, it's now because of attachments (rather than clothing layers) being out of synch between viewer and server (attachments are not covered under the SSA implementation). Ask them to relog, that usually clears things. Or relog yourself, that can also help (if you're the only one seeing it).
  16. well, quite a few merchants now exist only on the marketplace and have no in-world store... But the advise to find the creator through the place of purchase (whatever it may be) is a good one, you have to admit.
  17. I have alts so I can have multiple avatars logged in at the same time. Multiple avatars on the same account, only one of which can be in world at the same time, is therefore useless to me. And multiple avatars on the same account, both of which can be logged in at once, hmm, I foresee trouble. Also, how could this reflect in ownership of items? Right now the owner and creator of something are shown including account name and display name. If you had multiple separate avatars, separate individuals with each their own (I suppose) groups, contacts, etc. etc., that whole system comes crashing down. You'd need to start redoing the entire account system so the avatars are truly separate entities, and the account name (which is now the avatar name and always shown) is no longer displayed at all. Which'd lead to all kind of trouble as display names can now be duplicated (I know at least a dozen Kittys for example, quite a few Dinas, etc. etc.). Or alternatively, you'd do as you do now, use outfits to save different looks for yourself.

I also noticed that when I manually chceck each parcel's max prim then total them together since its a full region I am expecting 15000 prims but what I get is 14996. not impossible, just unlikely. It's theoretically possible to not see the rounding error depending on the exact shape and size of the parcels.
  19. running firestorm on 3 machines, I experience that on only one of them (but not consistently, if it crashes it seems to crash while starting FS, and does that every other time or so at most). So a lot of SL users probably never have the crashing vivox client. And as I don't use voice (rarely I turn it on to listen in when modding a place, but that's it) I don't care one way or another.
  20. If your laptop has an Intel and AMD card (which my Dell has), use the AMD tools to force the machine to use the AMD card to run your SL viewer. I did that and the flashing (and crashing) went away instantly. Performance also more than doubled.
  21. just because someone's not online doesn't mean they're no longer in any of the groups they joined... And you can have your profile show you as offline at all times (even though you're online), groups in that case would still show you as online and so would your friendlist.
  22. yes, if you're a regular some sims allow you to join up and you'll get some prims to use for a fee (bit of rent). This is common in sailing communities, not sute how driving groups handle it.
  23. most land will have an autoreturn timer set. Your car will be returned if you leave it parked for more than that time. Only way around it is to be in the group that owns the land (usually) and have the right role in that group (as then the autoreturn doesn't apply to you).
  24. preferences->general->view display names

If you think the images are actually illegal rather than just misplaced in SL then contact the RL police. If the photos are of RL underaged people, then having even been withing range for SL to download them into your cache makes you guilty of a felony crime in the USA - even if you did not desire to download them. They should be AR'd, but understand that being the person to AR it means admitting you saw it - which itself is a felony crime. Even the Linden who goes there to delete it commits a felony in so doing by virtue of having to download it in order to reach it. If not of RL underage, then the OPer's wording is a bit confusing. actually, AFAIK RL photos of nude minors are not illegal RL (at least in the US, Iran might be a different story), depending on context. You're OK for example to have pictures of your kids in the bath tub playing with soap bubbles.
