Woo! Wow! Thank you!

Wow nice find! We finally have some persistent storage!

Compared to Sansar, who was and still might be charging up to 70% on all transactions, LL seems relatively "generous", or rather, more affordable.

IDK if it is fair to say they were paying it out of their pocket, or that it was generous. All of the money comes from revenues they get from us or investors. The difference is, they later added this on top of other fees, so basically they raised the prices. The language is... tricky. Me absorbing the price just means I took it out of what I was charging you. Now I want to charge you the same, and also add that on top of it. If I raise it again, tomorrow, was I being generous today? Maybe, maybe not. There is no way to know, unless your definition of generous means charging us less that we were willing to pay, seeing as how we did in fact pay it, and we would pay more if they charged more, until the pain was too much to bear, and then we would fold and go under.

For sellers like myself, I hope it means easy integration so I could just rez a box that is linked to my MP products so I do not even have to put anything in the box. We already have access to the alert notification system, and can put things inworld that talk to our servers, but now this could be a very simple process for everyone.

For the average shopper, I think this is very good news. Control of a large network of vending and redelivery systems are in the hands of LL now, no longer controlled by a single person or entity that could shut it down any day for various reasons.

One thing is certain. If you were planning to try to compete with CasperTech for a piece of the vendor/redelivery market, forget it. That opportunity is closed. To Casper, I am glad you worked out a deal with LL. You have run an amazing product in SL, and will always be an SL god among makers.

That was rhetorical question for Les. There is no way that user vending systems can seriously compete with a system owned by LL. It likely WILL put any current competitors out of business. There are pros and cons to that, that I will leave to each person to consider. I can see them myself and, while I think this will be a good thing for users, it will be bad for the idea that makers are all on even ground and able to create SL, as opposed to being administered by SL, and of course, as some have suggested, it means LL can basically name their price. I am not here to argue that this is good or evil or fight about it.

How are third parties going to compete with a system that is integrated into the MP and viewer?

I like your idea, Will. Through your products you have shown you know how to make things happen.

Hi Anthony. I can make that for you. Please contact itoibo resident inworld and let's discuss it.
