    Enlighten me... how would they go about that "simple" process of obtaining ALL the textures from all the other sellers. 

    (hint:  it's NOT a simple process to get all the other textures!)

    You do of course know better than this. You see someon with the same dress model, you have the texture in your cache, and it is yours to steal.

  2. If a prefab is sold with modify permissions, consumers need only to buy one copy of the prefab from one reseller. To have all the variations from all the other resellers, it is then a simple matter of ripping their textures.

  3. Those look like the crowds that show up for sploders, which I'm told are totally not camping devices even though they work exactly the same. It's typical for those entirely legitimate contests, that have nothing at all to do with gaming traffic, to run only a few hours a day when fewer real visitors might notice. The sploder iitself is sometimes hidden. The owners of those avatars, who are totally not traffic bots even though they act exactly like them, can find out where to show up from the sploder tracking web sites.

    DId you know that he actually started off in SL as a griefer, received a very long ban, and then decided to work for good when his access was restored . . .

    Are you saying he was a Griefer during the closed beta?  Andrew's profile shows a birthdate of 6/2/2002.

    The public beta did not start until October 2002. 

    Andrew was there from the beginning in 1999.

     
  5. Maybe that alt's account is broken like mine was. My birthdate was correct at signup. Inworld access worked fine, even access to adult regions worked once I set it. Still I could not see mature/adult stuff correctly on the marketplace or web search, and could not even receive marketplace gifts rated like that. It took a support ticket and an ID check to get it fixed.

    Ok, that's odd.  My main account has PIOF (as in a credit card & my RL info), and I have purchased a number of things from the MP, including after LL changed the payment system but when I went to the link provided by LL per this recent announcement I am still showing that I am unable to upload mesh.

     ETA: Ok, I read your post too quickly.  You said it changed the avatar's *payment* info bax to green *on* the mesh upload status page; so I'm assuming it did *not* change the ability to upload mesh.  Sorry about the confusion.  Doing too many things at one time. :matte-motes-bashful-cute:




    I took that account through the quiz, logged in, and successfully uploaded duck.dae. I also checked parcel access and legacy profiles again, and those are still treating the account as if there was no payment info. So, mesh upload ability is checked by different flags.

    I don't believe that buying something on MP adds payment information to your entire SL account.  It only adds it on your MP account which is only used as the default method of payment when you go to check out. 

    Note that the announcement says to check using the dashboard and the Mesh Upload Status Page.  Buying on MP does not add payment information here.  The payment info on that page of my dashboard shows my paypal information while the checkout page on MP shows the payment method as L's because I've only ever used L's to purchase from MP.

    If anyone sees on their Mesh Upload Status Page anything other than no PIOF or your approved RL payment information if you have it on file, please post that.

     

    I just tried this with an account that had no payment info and (until now) had no MP history under the new payment system, to see if anything has changed. The same bugs are there as from a few months ago.

    Just a few minutes ago, a marketplace purchase for L$1 changed that avatar's payment info box to green on the mesh upload status page. It also made the web profile say "payment info on file".

    It did not change the payment info display in legacy (non-web) profiles. That avatar is still not allowed to enter parcels that require payment info.

     
  8. Yeah, RPG and combat systems are done in SL. You'll need to find land with build permission to rez things, sandboxes are around for starting out. If you wan to make a full game you will probably need a more permanent building spot and that means renting land, that's when SL starts to get expensive.
