    Well, considering that a well designed game doesn't need mentors because the tutorial phase covers it...

    Of course, SL isn't your traditional game.

    I also personally I think the Mentor program as designed is a terrible idea. It makes no attempts to fix retention issues while simultaneously passing the retention problems on to unpaid volunteer residents with no authority to do anything of consequence.

    I also see some legal issues on the Mentor thing unless they're paid or something.  Due to the way many governments getting their hands into the internetz many other MMOs or games have pulled the plug on volunteers that were helping in the games from keeping watch on chats or muting gold sellers.

    - Instead of making the GUI simpler for users as time went on, new features were added, and added, and added, and added.  As a result, the viewers / GUI are daunting for new users. This is probably in part due to LL trying hard to "make everyone happy" by adding the new features, without going back to make the GUI easier. Again, they've had 25 YEARS TO WORK ON THIS.

    The above logic can probably be applied to a lot of "quit moments". 

    As Qie said above:

     

    I hate the GUI on the official client with a passion.  I gotten used to the original version it had in the beginning since it was simple and not broken --- now it's convoluted and hard to work around in. Why many people use 3rd party clients.

    Oh is that what those are...I wondered.

    And I see 4 stores up above the square too...more shopping!!!!

    In the past I somehow landed in one and got a PM from a Linden a few moments later I was in a staff-only area.  I told him there must be a glitch and I'd TP out. I told my Linden friend and he said sometimes using Singularity glitches the map. This was long ago shortly Sing stopped updating their client.

    Anyhoo I need to log in soon to get some shopping in.

    oh you mean that blue circle at the landing spot...those new thingies that move you aside due to high traffic?  if so...just stay there awhile and the surround stores rez in.

    Nope --- the circles is on the Map itself.  Clicking on it does nada.  Like the region don't exist, but it's showing on the map.

    This behavior is replicated on other platforms and MMOs.

    In WoW for example, local chat is dead. Trade chat (a region wide chat where toons/avatars are not in close proximity) is very active. Guild chat (like our group chat) is also active. Dungeon chat is dead aside from purposeful information (don't go that way, wait for me a moment, etc).

     

    My man played a couple MMOs.  If there is local chat --- it's from a gold seller.  I even saw one of those in world here other day when I took a short tour of the SL20B areas.  Couple of avatars saying over and over "3W ***** c o m --$Lindens---2000 5$---1043" - the last 4 numbers change on each shout. :(

    Attempted to lodge an AR report, but the client crashed and burned on me.

    That picture of @Patch Linden in a slit dress... can never be unseen. O.O

    Patch should apply to be a presenter on the Price is Right!  I can see the announcer saying "And you can win a new Chevy Bolt!  The car has blah blah blah."  "Also today we introduce our newest prize presenter --- Patch Linden!"

    We realize this is different than what residents are used to in SL. What shouldn't be surprising really is that since we are are working with the music labels themselves they are very concerned with how the content under their management is offered. One of those concerns is with streaming content only to those in countries with which they have the legal right to do. It's not any different than how Netflix can stream a program if you are in one country, but not in another. 

    The music industry always been fussy to work with throughout many decades dealing with music rights.

    2) The media screens in the party area displayed only a Facebook login page. Which is useless to me as I do not have a Facebook account.

    You think they would used something outside of Fakebook. Not everyone uses that --- I sure don't.

    As for the build, there were some nice things there like the arches indicating each area as you travel the path, but I did see some boo boos. But that can happened to anyone building stuff and something this large some things can escape the eyes.

    Some of the games in the Skill sim didn't work properly --- clicking on some things it sat there but selecting "Touch" from the client's pie menu made it function. Could be a limitation of Singularity since that viewer hasn't been updated in ages and I didn't try on any other client.

    I've seen the new Welcome Hub, etc. described as the "New User Experience".

    And, "NUX" apparently stands for.."New User Experience".

    It could be just me, but I see this as "evidence" that the NUX body will be released as part of SL20B.

    A while back I have heard of the "NUX" thing from a vendor that services our RL business. Nothing related to SL --- but that phrase has been used before.

    • And so on.....

    And probably some others.

    Maybe the mobile app. I don't use my phone much, but every where I go, people are glued to their phones. LL might get some new people to sign up and stay. 

    LL should also have the Premium Plus houses ready to show.

    Nux avatar. I can't imagine using it, or that it will take over for Maitreya. Perhaps I let an alt use it, if it becomes popular.

    I would like to see LL finish things they have been talking about. 

    I still use an old school flip phone.  And it's in the car in case need directions or if the engine craps out.

    OR take the cannon !!

    OR take the cannon !!

    That cannon probably a lot safer then the bridge below. I have great concerns about it as there's no support pillars and could collapse at any moment --- putting any avatar using it at risk of dropping into the sea below!  Whoever built it need to go to engineering and bridge building school! Was gonna lodge a support ticket, but there's no drop down menu selection for unsafe bridges.  🤣

    There are more of them out there than most people realize.

    Quite a few.  When I had my in world venue I let one go when someone told me he replayed an older show more then once. I recorded him and the audio was exactly the same. Performers come in many categories:

    • Real where they use actual instruments, even if it's a guitar.
    • Looper where they use as looper for other effects.
    • Backing Tracks where they sing to it or play their guitar to it.
    • And Fake, using a recording.

    Might be some others I can't recall atm.
