[2022 - Second Life Year In Review]

Glaznah is the brains behind speedlight viewer so yeah, he does know what he's talking about.

[New Membership plans]

For me, I can't justify premium spending when support is only available for such limited hours.  With a world wide user base support should be available 24/7 365.  Closed Jan 1+2 good luck if you have a major problem.

[Speedlight: right click to pay?]

You could try to im your landlord and ask to pay them directly as a "one off" is you can't pay the rental device.  Sure they'd be happy to help a tenant out?

[FACEBOOK SL AND R L]

Is the "." and "," buttons broken?

You don't know that is not something unique unless you've actually contacted him. That's a huge leap saying that he wants to play SL with other peoples money without knowing anything about it. 

But he's not provided any details first.  And unless someone provides a viable plan etc I daresay there's no chance of any investment

[Lost Old Avi wanting to Recover]

Here's how to actually do it (I know from doing this myself):

 

file a support ticket as a guest

Give the avi name you're trying to recover

explain that you don't have access to the old email anymore.

do NOT go giving rl names, addresses etc - they don't need that.

 

Wait for a reply, it takes about 2 days.

They'll ask you to answer that avatar's secret question, and will suggest you guess it if you don't actually recall it.

You'll be asked about any current alts (they use the big words Active Alternate Accounts).  You will be advised to list any/all alts along with secret questions/answers.  This is to give them info to compare to the account you're trying to recover.

If Support can verify your claim, then they'll help you to reset it's email address, and it's secret question/answer.

[Tattle Tales and Greifers]

unless that person has eject/freeze/ban rights on that land tell them to disappear.

 

if somebody thinks you are doing "wrong" let them report it to LL

And what exactly does one flag it for?  I don't see the option for "Griefer Item".  Nothing like wasting LL's time on a witch hunt...

disallowed listing practices.

 

rowan,. do your homework before spouting incorrect information, it usually helps.

There are weapons & combat HUDs used in various RP games within SL. These use an external server and provide XP accounting and leveling in the game as well as weapons damage control. Plus they enforce part of the game rules. For instance with play rules if you have been killed is disables your avatar to some extent.

In addition to a game HUDs weapons have separate HUDs to make the weapon conform to the games rules; fire rate, magazine size - 10 rounds or 50 then stop to reload or whatever. Plus there are left-right wear, draw and holster, etc.

While there are lots of things in SL that can be used for griefing I doubt 99% of weapons + HUDs are designed for griefing. I think most (may be 90%) are designed to be compatible with as many games as possible.

There are griefer guns. One only has to look at the controls and bullet types to know which is which. Having bullets that shroud one in smoke or kicks the target  into orbit teans to be the griefer toys. I've never seen a game that allows either of those bullet types.

In SL lots of people have opinions. And many of those opinions have no actual support. So whether I or Belinda have it right, it is hard to KNOW. I'll suggest that anyone that makes blanket statements about SL likely has it wrong. SL like RL is complicated...

which is why I said to flag them...................................

 

let the powers that be decide................................

[Weapons hud always bad?]

You're right, 99% of them are used for griefing.

 

Especially the permission stealer ones.

 

All you can really do is flag them

[Setting a Home location when you own nothing]

There's always squatting.

 

Find a group with open access and set home on their land.

[Received a random L$ "gift" should I keep it?]

to protect yourself, send an AR under "fraud>l$" and explain the reasons why you are worried.

LL will take a look at the transaction, you won't get into any trouble at all. 

if the money is till in your account a few days later, enjoy it! (as will be been confirmed to be legit!)

have you filed a support ticket?

[no acces inworld]

have you filed a support itcket on the SL website?

["Plus" Membership Doesn't Include Linden Home?]

I upgraded my account to the new "Plus" tier because my friend said that it included a 512 home, but I am not able to claim any of the old 512 styles nor any of the 512 Camper, Sakura, or Newbrooke on the website. From my account page, I click the orange "Get your home now" button, I select Bellisseria, Camper, and when I hit Next, it takes me to the "Choose your membership plan" page but says I already have a Plus account.

If this is intentional and LL assumes we are going to buy mainland from land barons on top pf paying for the membership, I'm going to have to request a refund.

Do your homework.

 

Look for abandoned land, LL will sell you it for 1l$ a metre.  if you use the 10% group bonus, you can get 560m.

 

Don't pay the stupidly ridiculous prices you see mainland selling for.

 

If you need help to do this, contact me inworld and I'll help you (and I won't feel a need to run to the forums boasting about it neither.)

[Drivers Ed comes to SL.]

does anybody actually care?

Yes, I am sure they were to toxic ones. I know, because I was the one that was around them. You don't know what I went through while I was dealing with their idiocy. Toxic was the word I used, because being around them was literally like living in a house filled with poisoning, toxic waste. 

That's just a general interest and one of the ONLY ones I have. Everyone,,, and I mean EVERYONE I have met that loves modern day anime, modern music, basically anything of this era, has turned out to be cruel, self-centered people I don't want to associate with. 

so, tl;dr you're frozen water and a chocolate confectionary.

 

so EVERYONE whio knew you is "toxic" and you're snowwhite.  Yeah I beleive you.

 

Real life suggestion: grow up.

[4 x protected sim edge / roadside / riverside / rezz zone 3520sqm **Reduced**]

better off buying abandoned land for 1l$ a metre and using the 10% group bonus.

I've been trying to pass this point on Route 8 for more than a week and it's impossible, a warning appears about the area being crowded, and it's not possible to enter any vehicle through the road.

Have you filed a ticket? Don't have to be premium for this - just use the *region offline* category and explain the problem.

Why the negativity? Honest question, don't mean no harm, I come in peace  What's wrong with posting new user experiences?

No negativity from me.  Just pointing out, that many users including myself, take time to help new users, but don't need feel an urge to run posting threads saying "hey hey look at me and what I've done".

 

[Teaching New Residents]

so you were doing what most users do anyway but we don;t feel a need to boast about it.

[Anyone seen this before?]

you're premium so ask support to help you sort it
