:smileylol: Waaaahahahahah.....LOL....thanks.... ROFL

I was one of the first avatars there. Must have been more than 3 years ago. In the begin there was a massive lag and I crashed all the time. I bought land there, much much cheaper than in SL and much more prims.. But I did not stay long. There are hardly any residents online. Never more than 150. And there were no physics for vehicles or boats so no sailing, no horseriding, no surfing. Maybe it is a nice place for builders or roleplayers who never leave their land or sim. I logged in last week.The place has not changed very much. Still 150 residents online and no sailing.... For me it is a boring place.

Something very wrong today. Driving a motorbike is almost impossible because of a flood of script errors and nearly every simcrossing causes a crash no matter how low scripted I am ( only 1 script from the bridge of firestorm ) or how slowly I drive. Texture rezzing is pretty good now for me but it has been very bad the last weeks. and the camera bug is back again. With every crossing the camera view gets messed up...

I don't like it either but what's the use telling that on this forum.Do like me, just don't buy it..

There is only a small problem when wearing a vehicle like a horse. The camera height does not move along with the position of the avatar. When I ride my horse I look at the horse's rear end..

I am looking for a friend ( female or shemale) to share my activities in SL and maybe more. I am almost 7 years in SL. Old friends left SL and somehow I just don't meet the right people anymore. Please take a look at my profile in world and don't hesistate to IM me when you like my profile. Reactions on this topic please only in my IM box.

I know how confusing this all can be. Send me an IM and I will help you inworld.

Without the ability to retain an ongoing volume of new users in their first few days of playing, then all other improvements are irrelevant. New user are vital if SL is to remain sustainable. Yes, totally agree with that. Most new residents log in once or twice and they don't come back. And why ? because they don't know what to do here. They have no idea what SL is all about. And just take a look at places like help island and the info hubs...The Korea sims still look the same as 6 years ago !! Nothing to do there than hangout with all the other noobs and dull grey buildings all over the place.

I saw a topic about games in SL but what about sports in SL ? I started playing golf in SL some weeks ago and it is really fun to do. And I found other sports in SL like volleyball, tennis, basketball But....most of the sportsims are competely empty, not one avatar there Does nobody like sport in SL ??

I sail in SL for 5 years now and region crossing has always been a problem. Sometimes it gets better but a few weeks later on its horrible again. I get the idea that LL can't resolve this problem or simply don't want to resolve it. And when they say this is their highest priority I don't believe it anymore. I quit flying in SL because of the simcrossing problem. Flying in SL has become a silly game because of all the crashes. And did you ever try to explore the old roads of mainland by car or motorbike ?? That is absolutely no fun at all..( I know mainland roads where even a slow horsride trip is an hazardous adventure. I stick to sailing and prefer the private estates and blake sea. Sailing on mainland is most of the time horrible...

Oh man, its crazy... I own a small mesh sailboat, really small one. When it was sculpted it would be not more then 24 prims. Now it is mesh and the land impact is 88 !! can't rezz it anymore on my land...:womansurprised:

As far as I know there is only one 'threesome dance' shake nasty from creator Digital Kaos. The trick with an Akeyo AO won't work for a couple dance I am afraid. Akeyo has an invitation button but all dancers are on the same animation. It works the same as a chimera.

The side effect that the boat stops momentarily before going on after clicking is very easy to avoid. Press the control and alt key at the same time and hold them, then click on your boat, the boat will rerender without stopping.

Are you sure you did a character test ? I never heard about a failure with that... Or log in at an empty sea sim, sometimes helps.

I am afraid this is definitely a new bug. My mesh boats are rideable vehicles, so no attachments ! At some crossings the boat just vanishes and it are always the same sims where this happens. Besides that, it started to happen after a major update some weeks ago. Clicking the boat will resolve it but clicking a vehicle is not very handy when sailing or flying, sailors and pilots know what I mean. Edit : Just talked to some sailors. it is not a bug, it are your graphics so I was told. Clicking the vehicle will help but then the vehicle stops. First press control/alt and then click the vehicle, it will rezz again without a stop.

Hmm..your right, just tested it with the fence of the neighbours..it used to be different, ok years ago....lol But now the fence won't rezz again after relog..how do I change that..?? :matte-motes-confused:

If you use phoenix/firestorm viewer you can derender the object by right clicking on it and choose derender. This only works for one inlog session. After relog the object will rezz again and you need to derender again.

I have that very often. On my own land I can rezz a prim but very often I can't rezz objects from my inventory, saying, the landowner does not allow it.....hmmm I am the owner !! After an hour or so things are back to normal again... SL can be acting weird, better get used to it.....:matte-motes-confused:

It is a strange phenomena...I see many people get bored. I am never bored in SL and I am almost 6 years in SL now. A lot of people don't do anything besides shopping and chatting and hanging around Well that's the way to get bored..!! There is so much to do in SL !!

And another question is, why don't skin creators and primfeet builders work together ?? For instance, a feet builder provides texture/mod feet and the skin creator applies the right texture and color on the feet for the different skins !

I have that always. Never has been different. When I open the map my fps drops to 4 or 5 and when I close the map the fps is back to 35. Same thing with search and sometimes even with uploading textures. I am on windows XP, 6 gb memory, 60/6 connection

My English is not good enough to understand all the technology of servers but I know one thing....I bought a Loonetta and I can't use it the way I want it....sailing from my home location is a hazardous adventure. A fiend of mine bought waterland. Two sims away from Blake Sea. She always wanted that. She build a nice houseboat and a dock for her Trudeau One. And now she finds out that she lives on a blue steel server...she can't sail from her home location. As soon as she leaves the sim she gets unseated or even kicked out of the boat... This issues should be TOP priority for LL..its a shame that this has to take 4 weeks !!!!:womanmad:

An oldie, but very good tip. I have never understood why people wear facelights like lighthouses...

Did you try different locations ?

Well, I had almost given up. I did a last search on the Marketplace and found that feet of Skifija...there are feet in the package optimized for laq and redgrave skins. And they look perfect...well almost perfect because the toes are a bit long...lol Wearing them now and they look good in any kind of light :womanvery-happy:
