    Fixing the "Wear" Mechanic.

    It isn't broken.

    Wear: Wears the item on your avatar, replacing any other items which might be already worn in the same spot.

    Add: Wears the item on your avatar, adding it to any other items which might already be worn in the same spot.

    And this is where the game engine gets confused.

    Wear: Wears item on your avatar REPLACING mesh and any other random spots on that attachment point.

    Add : Adds the mesh to count towards your 38 attachment slot limit.

    In addition most game designers do not have the item SET to the specific slot for pants. Therefore, this creates many issues with WEAR when putting on a pair of pants will detach Shirts, shoes, hair or anything on that SPECIFIC attachment point.

    An annual premium membership (US$72) works out to, after return of L$300 per week stipend, approximately US$1 per month. 

    Then in that you get rights to free 512sqm Linden Home and right to ‘buy’ another 512sqm lot without ANY further costs. (It’s a mix/match deal... however you choose to setup) . All while ‘living’ on the stipends). 

    Tho yes... you will be ‘spending ‘ US$72/year on SL.... still I don’t think it’s such a bad deal for getting started inworld. US$6 per month or US$1.38 per week. 

    Should that not be affordable, learn to live as Basic, for free... is surely possible, even tho you may need to be sharp and work at it!

     

    I'm surprised alot of successful stores don't do this. Instead of Homesteads.

    Thanks a ton for all the advice! I'm mainly looking at art as an income, though I doubt it will be enough, might good for getting started. I am curious about the land though. I understand I won't be getting any decent amount of money without either work or an investment. With land I was asking since my friend had a parcel that cost 1250 L$ weekly, which is quite a bit. With work, I'm not sure where to find it, and with creating, it seems like a difficult task. Either way, thanks a ton for your help! Land is gonna be a personal thing for me, unless I find a way to make money with it.

    Well if you're looking to sell art I'm assuming mesh.. you can experiment for free at a local sandbox, then sell on Maketplace.

    Just don't leave your crap out or get crazy with the prims.

    Does the tournament accept women entrants?

    GE ((Gor evolve)) ones do, which are few but bigger cash prizes such as 20k first, 15k second, and 10k third last one iknew of was like last summer. BTB - ((By the book Gor)) so just make a male classic avatar then you're good. Alot of IRL females do this too look the role.

    The weekly tournaments normally are BTB.

    You can rent land parcels on a weekly basis and the smallest plots of 512 sq m can be fairly inexpensive. Just search in world for land rental. 

    If they knew how to script & mesh thats the only time you rent land....But even then Marketplace would be a wiser route too sell your merch...

    In addition, if players are coming to forums asking about how too make Lindon last thing they wanna be told is "Go buy land, you'll make more money." No, that's not how the real world works..You should point out why they should buy land.

    Land is nothing more than a server to store space...The fact LL charges so much for it is just bonkers and terrible for business. So if you're creating mesh, this could be handy That's it.

    What our gor-gor "friend" tries to sweep under the carpet here though is that you have to enter a misogynic world of gor (google search link as actual Wikipedia article is as NSFW as the folks down there - forget what they tell you about toxic masculinity - those guys take it to a whole new dimension)

    I think all gamers are toxic. But  if you show up to the tournaments, all you really wanna come in is in your underwear... or something you could get at freebies like this. freebies- http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ibiza/40/40/3016

    I've recently joined this game after being on the edge for a while. So far I'm enjoying it a lot! I have a friend who's bringing me into the game, but I do want to know what sort of money I'll be spending on this game. I don't have too much, so I'd like to find some way to make L$. On top of that, I wouldn't mind owning some land, but it seems most of that is quite pricey, so I would like to know if there are cheaper plots out there. Thanks in advance for any help, and I look forward to getting to know the SL community better.

    methods of making L are abit grindy. However, you don't got invest anything to do either.

    You could play Voodoo.. Or if you wanna make serious dough

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Every Friday night they're sword tournaments if you wanna make a free sword at LR weapons then try your skill at PVP then I'd step into my ring.

    Tournament prizes normally are

    2500L ((First))

    1500 ((Second))

    1000 ((Third))

    Every Man for himself at end ((1000))

    Also there is a Gorean Tournament Guild you can join, which I or other people can invite you to. For other major sword tournaments, For example next sunday besnit is hosting one where first gets 10kL.

    Furries in SL--why all the hatred towards furries?

    There were Panther Girls long ago that were part of Gor, is that the same thing ? one of our tenants was one, she used to create clothing and went Gor because there was a lot of money in it back in the day, with all the changes of dress needed and the veils etc. She used to log in to cash out so she could pay for her WOW subscription. 

     

    Back in the olden days all Gor sims had signage very detailed rules on who and what and it was very non Furry because they were not 'real' and people that were considering themselves following all the rules of Gor (that never read the books - not being rude, it was actually a very common thing to have a Gorean Master tell you they were following all the writings but had not yet had the time to read all the books but were doing it correctly ) would get crazy about it as mentioned earlier. If that has changed that is great if everyone works out a way to live harmoniously 

    Well, I guess furries you couldn't be something like a Dragon for a kur. However, I've seen loads of people use panther & werewolves avatars from Jomo, Niramyph, and etc.

    Kurri also drove space ships and had human female slaves that they would impregnate.. So you can't really expect giant dumb ugly monster.

    I guess a lot of Gor rp’ers are ignorant of it. The first few years I was in SL, furries were not welcome on Gor sims.

    How is it ignorant? They even get to use a beast meter which is stronger then the default hud.

    Normal Meter = ((Normal settings))

    Beast meter = 50% damage reduction to arrows and melee..

    With the sky being the limit on this platform, its got me wondering what you all use it for??? Do you use it just hang out with friends? To create? Is it your RL job?

     

    For me its a way to express myself and explore things that I simply can't/ am uncomfortable exploring in RL

    • I use it to role-play
    • Hang out with friends
    • Take pictures
    • Shop

     

    What about you?

    - PvP

    - Tournaments

    - Shop

    then repeat. I'm actually starting to get too much free money at the moment though.

    Is SL's Player Base Declining?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted · Edited by Haselden

    Well, I wont talk about "Economic Success" like a lindon does.

    However, Second Life has a declining player base because of better titles out there such as Conan Exiles (Your able to get a working server over there for 40$!) or Minecraft where you can host your own server/creation for free by using your own Internet connection.

    I think if SL would tweak their marketing strategy where if you could get something like a full sim for at least 50$ a month or free. You could perhaps have more things to do, because people would be able to afford that.

    I don't understand this game

    I know what Linden Lab is but I have never heard of Lindon Labs.

    And yes, LL does support older OSes and computers. Not a damn thing wrong with that.

    In terms of business it'd be wiser to support only the newer OSes such as Windows 7, 8, and 10. Which would also INCREASE FPS performance greatly. ((for this is what the BEEF of the gaming/2019 audience playerbase has.))

    For example, this isn't 2001 where you see this *****... They don't even sell these antiques in the pawn shop.

    I began playing today, completed tutorial, visited some islands, but I completely don't understand this games

    1. Why my PC, that can run Battlefield V on ultra and Ark:Survival Evolved on high in 40 FPS have lags in this game with so *****ty graphics(Even Half-life 2 of 2004 look better)?

    2.I don't understand what and why can/should I do in this game.

    Explain me this please.

    To answer your first question OP.

    It's honestly bad CODING. My guess OP is that Lindon Labs is  still supporting computers such as ((Windows XP, Windows Vista, etc)) Where they don't want players to actually abuse their 4k resolution computers.

    It's quite odd yeah?

    To answer your second question OP, there is three things you can really do OP make *****/money, sex, and PVP. You can use the "Search options" to find sims you could perhaps be interested in entering key words such as Western, Combat, Beach, etc.

    Why does LL count "Away/bots" in their Traffic system.

    Doesn't it count traffic if you are set to away? I need to set myself as away more often then...

    That's because it's pretty cheap for them to just have their own traffic bots on the sim somewhere.

     

    IF its scripted correctly then no It doesnt. For example, in the video game world of Warcraft. Blizzard Company makes it so you CANT disable afk mode. They want the players to log off that is inactive to make room/make traffic for other people too log into that server.

    in SL it should be scripted the same way if players are inactive for long periods of time. This would would also fix the bot issue.

    How come EVERYONE can access Moderate, and Adult regions.

    This thread really wandered down the path quickly.

    To the OP:  There are two sorts of "children" in SL.

    The first sort is what you saw, a "child avatar".  Child avatars are allowed in  regions of any maturity level (by LL, that is.  Individual land owners may have their own rules.)  Child avatars are NOT allowed to participate in sexual roleplay.

    The second sort is a person whose Real  Life age is underage for SL.  (Like the rest of us, they may use any avatar and appear to be any age.  So you can't tell just by looking.)  People 18 and older can visit regions of any maturity  level.  People  16-17 may only visit General regions.  People 13-15 may visit a specific, "walled off" region, under the supervision of a recognized youth group.  This is not to say that some kids don't lie about their age and get into SL anyway.  If they are reported, LL bans them.

    Don't get the two mixed up!

    Yet Child Avatars can still "Watch" adult sexual roleplay across sim? ((If you disable Camera constraints in viewer.))

    ^ What's the difference then.

    Also, you're right about its mostly adults playing. However, I doubt LL would get introuble if they had some sort of verify method like drivers license or Credit card info on your account. To give access to ((More mature/gambling regions))
