The only benefit is the instant support chat, lol. And its not worth the premium.

That's because design and function are supposed to flow together. That said, LL's choice back in the day was a very very stupid one. That's why we are where we are now with the marketplaces piss poor design and functionality.

A virtual world is interactive. Sansar you just build something that people can wander around in and look at things. It's a quite boring concept.

This is why I've always said that SL is more for the older generation. And that's fine. But it's gonna die with your generation if it's not updated. That's a fact.

Your instructor was very wise. The design of a site is extremely important. Because first impressions visually matter A LOT. You obviously took a class so why do you not know this simple basic design fact? You really should have paid more attention. But that's not to say I don't agree with you as functionality is also important. But as someone else said It's almost impossible to fix it without wreckiing the whole thing. Might as well make it look nice and dated to ease the pain of use, ya know?

I'm talking about the changing the sites design, not the code.

Honestly, if they say "generally 15 mins", then for that price it better take no more than an hour. He has every right to be frustrated but will soon learn how this company rolls.

They are sitting on a gold mine and letting it age to death. I wouldn't sell it but I sure as hell would give it and everything associated with it (secondlife.com and it's marketplace) one hell of an update.

Judging from how long it took me on a 12mb Wi-Fi connection I'll say it was close to a gig.

Negative. When you require everyone to look at a status page to see to see if its offline, thats ANCIENT. And when I do actually stumble unto the status page, it always says "unscheduled maintenance". And I tend to check it when I can't log in...like we ALL do. Thats not really scheduled. Closing down for a few weeks to perform updates and actual fixes is the result of the backend being neglected for so long. Why do you think they created Sansar? They COULD'NT bring VR to Second Life as originally intended without...you guessed it...actually updating and fixing the backend. This is honestly their own fault.

You're probably right but what I want to know is why its web design look like its was made in 2004. Sansars marketplace looks nice and clean. You do realize the ONLY thing that got a major design facelift has been the forums, right?

That is my point. They are not updates. They are small "fixes". Thats where all that "unscheduled maintenance" crap comes from. What they need to do is to take the whole thing down for a few weeks (thats only due to them neglecting it since 2004) and do some serious updating to its backend so they don't have to "patch" it to make things like bento work. Their method is so stupidly old school its not even funny. They are sitting on a gold mind and letting it age to death. You know what they did actually update? The forums. Thats it. Since 2004 the ONLY actual update they have done is the forums and that was THIS year. LOL.

If I was an investor I would be so pissed, lol. I mean cmon, its 2017. Now I will give them credit, the sansar mp looks very nice and clean (thats probably about it though). We all know it will become a cesspool of useless crap like the sl marketplace. People be throwing up the same thing in 30 pages of different colors, lol.

The entirety of the marketplace in general is pathetic. Its design (including its review system) is so outdated its not even funny. Nothing on that site has changed since 2004.

Second Life IS dying. Its an old platform with a neglected backend and gets nothing but patches. Linden Labs has abandoned it for Sansar. You could scream all the problems it has till youre blue in the face and nothing will get done about it. People generally don't give a crap, thats why you see alot of broken links and broken TPs, blah blah blah. Also, old school avatars and anything built on prims instead of mesh. Ive seen a lot of youtube reviews discussing this problem of SL being HEAVILY outdated (why do you think theres so many trolls? Because thats all some sims are good for. Not much else to do!)

I need a really good mesh creator for a project. Paying good money and pay is negotiable. The project is a Scifi themed water fountain. Contact me in world.

I am looking for a scripter and builder to make a custom lapdance chair. The following are spec qualifications: - Must be 100% high quality mesh with materials enabled. - Does not have to be full perm. Only COPY/MOD has to be allowed. - Cannot be resold. Must be exclusive. - Original design. - Script animations must be high quality (ie Dutchie lapdance chair animations). Originality is a plus. - Design must be modern/futuristic. Price is completely negotiable. I usually pay top dollar if the final product meets my quality standards. DO NOT IM me if you do not work with quality mesh. I want the best and I pay for it. This is for an in-world upcoming business. I look forward to hearing from you.

This is NOT for gaming purposes as I do not wish to get involved in legalities. Basically, it will function like a sploder. But I am looking for a scripter to make me a script that allows people to place money amount bets on 1 of 2 avatars like how a tip jar works but with 2 avis logged in. The tipper would select one of the logged in avis via menu and place their bet. The script would also need to collect all tips and then disperse the winnings among the winning avis who tipped to the logged in winner after a set time. Money is negotiable. I just need the script, nothing else.

Think I might have posted this in the wrong forum lol

"Second Life is that old car you keep driving and refusing to replace because theres still nothing better on the road but when that day comes, you know youre gonna junk it." Are you daft? I'm not asking for help. I'm not looking for the technical forum. I'm venting due to SL having multiple technical issues all over the place and getting damn sick of it. And no, it doesn't work! I know it doesn't work! Because I tried to buy something off the MP and their cashier is down. I know this because I called them! So no, I don't need tips to get around anything! Bloody hell man...

Wow. You people are crazy. Are you renting that plot of land on the Mainland? No? Then you dont have a say in what other people do on their plot that they pay for. Telling them they should pay a whopping ton more of money for privacy is just...it aint right. Go walk down the road.

No. No laptop, unless its a gaming laptop is good for SL. "Normal" laptops, like the one youre looking at are terrible for Second Life. I have a ASUS G752 Gaming laptop with cooling system and it runs SL very smoothly on ultra graphics with virtually little to no lag (not counting the usual lag spikes in highly populates areas).
