Thank you for the clarification. Still, the monopoly they have among other things leaves a very bad taste in my mouth, what with being a long time resident of Zindra (I used to rent from Seedy Estates in Moni Targa, they had dirt cheap rent, landlord was a nice guy, he still runs it and given the location and price he probably deserves a medal, what with every other rental location on the continent either charging arm and a leg or being out of the way in a skybox.)

Land is still available, trying to get rid of it to free up tier!

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hogadon/172/24/101 Parcel for sale, On a Linden road - 2048sqm for 5000L$, OR BEST OFFER! Lowest land price in the area for size, quiet and out of the way, perfect for businesses, homes or other land interests!

I mean, if the conditions are right, I can see it going for at most 50 USD, but still, I'd rather either go through a private seller who knows the land barons are charging a fortune and will sell for less, or go through Linden Lab and buy abandoned land. Here's hoping that I can hopefully work something out with the baron and see if we can split the land so I can have the remainder of the 2048 they'd most likely want to sell for.

If Adult content were permissible in private parcels on Moderate, I'd be more interested in buying Moderate land. I actually have been trying to sell the land I have on Sansara (in Hogadon if anyone's wondering) so I could buy an extension to the land I bought on Zindra from the Lindens before a Land baron picked it up (hence why I'm somewhat miffed about it - I would have been less miffed if it were a private user, then I could actually negotiate to buy a small part of the land off them to make what I have a full 2048 parcel, rather then them owning a 2530sqm parcel and leaving me with the 1530 I have, instead of charging an exorbitant price for land. If the Barons want to make a profit, then they should - However, they've long since gone beyond what would be seen as the Optimal Price Point to me and many others.

Which is going to happen sooner or later if and when prices keep going up or staying as they are. I don't know anyone who would pay 1,000 bucks for a half sim. 50 bucks for a 2048sqm parcel, maybe. But honestly, If anything - at least make it so that Land Barons can't buy up abandoned land outside of auctions.

So far on Zindra I've seen miles and miles of land for sale and no one buying them because the land barons are charging outrageous prices for them. 1,200 USD for A HALF SIM, AND 50 USD FOR 2048sqm of land! I could buy a full simulator from LL and spend 3 months worth of Maintenance fees on the money for that half sim ALONE! I understand the Lindens want to run a Minarchy and not want to stick their hand in things lest they break crap, but there has to be some resolution to the problem of exorbitant land prices. A 2048 Square meter parcel shouldn't cost 12,000L$! At most, it should be around 9,000 or 8,000! It's going to get to the point where, outside of a small select few - No one will buy the land! I've owned land for quite some time, and even though I've gotten some of that land for a steal through LL's Abandoned Land program, I wouldn't mind paying a higher rate. And god above will I wonder what the Lindens will do when a bunch of real estate agencies own all this land, and no one will buy them. And before you pull out the near-ad-hominem 'hurr-durr get a job' Crap, I get paid 32,400 USD a year.

Quick question - will it be possible to right click HTML and other interfaces in MOAP objects?

There was also a recent DNS failure over in the EU that LL reported, but I don't know if that was on LL's ISP's DNS' end or the EU DNS Root's end. I'd suggest disabling the firewall temporarily to see if that will resolve it. If you're using a router, you may need to port forward Second Life. Check your Router/Firewall's manual and open/port forward these Ports. You will need your local IP address for port forwarding - this can be obtained on windows by pressing Win-R, and entering CMD into the run box. Then type ipconfig into the command prompt and look for the Network Adapter actively being used on your machine. Then look for the 'IPv4 Address'. Use that in port forwarding to ensure that the ports being forwarded are from your machine.

This combined range satisfies both requirements for UDP traffic.

There was a recent (within the past 4 months) transition to a new payment processor, if memory serves me right. I'd advise contacting Linden Lab directly.

Vellie, I said I was using a "Hybrid" body, a SL body with Many Mesh additions. I know they didn't have a body, that and I wonder why they closed up shop as well.

To be honest, I'm not really convinced the new platform will work all that well.

There is also the Avatar 2.0 and Kemono bodies for Utilizator, but those are more for users seeking an anime or furry avatar repectively. That and the features of each are somewhat sparse compared to ones such as the Maitreya Lara and Belleza bodies. I for one have been using a hybrid body consisting of SInterest Venus Breasts, Utilizator's M3, and, BANNED booty and a set of slink hands and feet., which is starting to fail for me due to the fact that the BANNED creator was hacked or something like that. I can't precisely remember, but ever since hearing about it, I can't create more banned appliers for my clothing, which is the reason i've been lusting after the Maitreya Lara, which my friend Lori uses. It's really nice according to a review, and like Bobbie said, is Omega and Slink standard compliant, so I don't have useless clothing cluttering up my already "filled to the proverbial brim" inventory. So In my opinion, I'd suggest you do your research and see what mesh body fits you.

Yes. Could a moderator please move this topic to the appropriate forum?

Tegg, this is not just about convienence. Most of us have put our hard earned money into SL, and refuse to just drop everything and start again on a new platform, "I put hundreds and/or thousands of dollars into my avatar and other things, and I suppose I'll just drop it all~!" SAID NO PERSON EVER. For me, I want to be able to transfer my funds, and my inventory and avatar, and to also have better performance. My friends complain about being able to play BF3/4 Decently, with SL running like a dog after having it's legs chopped off, even at decent settings. The graphical capabilities of Second Life do not justify the terrible frame rates under decent conditions. SL2 needs to implement a complete overhaul of how it handles things, or at least a thrurough optimization. Hell, I'd welcome LL providing a Direct3D version of the viewer if it's possible, since Windows from what I heard, uses DirectX better than OpenGL.

I cannot move up or down, jump or even walk down stairs without moving with 1/100000th of the gravity of earth. I can barely jump, And when i'm falling it takes years to get onto the ground. My ping with the simulator is usually just fine. the problem is also regardless of computer as well. Be it my ASUS K55N or my CybertronPC EVOKE with a GT 740, It's slow as heck to fall down. EDIT ONE: My Simulator Ping is usually in the 80s to 130s on small sims. Hate to sound like a you know what, but that's not it. also, I never reach 100% cpu usage in SL. That and I have made an exception in Avast. It still does this.

Okay, thanks for the help.

Okay, That's fine. Until then i'll Hold out at NCI Kuula. It's been my standby for a few days now, So why not wait a little longer. Thanks for the help. Also, is M rated Clothing Permitted in a G Region as long as it's not violating the Rules for such a region? Also, what do I put the Support ticket under? I didn't see anything like Account Issues on there.

I have just turned 18 Today, and when i was on last night, the marketplace was unlocked for me, I could access M and A Material, but however, SL likes to get in my way appearently, as Agni begs to differ on my age, When I go to my viewer, I Cannot change my Rating Limits and enable unrestricted access. I have tried installing Kokua to see if it was a Viewer problem, but to no avail. I don't want to contact LL over the phone as I'm a bit shy, but I will if it is nessacary to fix this. Please reply as soon as possible, please. Thank you.
