@Aeromia W ill take your word for it ♥

Not finding the lag or high complexity issues you seem to be experiencing with any of the LeLu Evo heads(?) but you can always create a copy of the head and delete the scripts to see if that helps/makes a difference. The HUD-only-BOM-only makeup and eyelash thing is a source of frustration for me with LeLutka Evo heads - it limits choices if you don't happen to find the lashes or lipstick on the HUD all that appealing. There are one or two creators who are making some applier cosmetics for LeLu Evo heads, but most of them (bar one or two) aren't all that great; it seems the enthusiasm just isn't there for these heads with cosmetics creators in general - not like there is with Genus. The flip side of that coin - as someone mentioned - is that with these heads, you really don't absolutely need to wear cosmetics, so if you can put up with the limited eyelash range and unappealing lipsticks, you'll be fine. Its all going to depend on the skin you choose, though - some skin brands can leave the lips looking a bit McGoo but you'll generally be ok if you stick with the well known, big brand names. Agreed - official detailed info is limited and lacking but I'm going to guess LeLutka think its a trendy irritant (like those creators who stopped including LMs in their product packaging because they think they're so big, everyone should know who they are and how to find them). Nope, not a lover of the new HUD either. To me, its an eyesore; spindly, unattractive and awkward as arse to get used to (used to it now though - still don't like it); a pokey little strip of a hud all in black and white with nothing but symbols isn't my idea of appealing. The old HUDs were 100% gorgeous, smooth as silk to use and so very professional looking. But, as my mother would say, there's no accounting for taste; its their product, they can make any or all of it as ugly as they want. Who are we lowly, unimportant customers to complain?

Anyone put in a ticket to let LL know?

Somebody really likes her boat? A lot??

Ahh ok - no, I didnt get a chance to see the pic - keep having rl interruptions.

Yes the boat thing is different - its the home thing she found a solution for so all is well on that score.

Not to mention the tidy 10% LL takes per sale. I wonder if they'll give those back?

I believe Waiomao found her solution several hours ago - which includes the use of banlines through one particular rental agency - so she possibly wont be back to continue the conversation; shes found the privacy and security she was looking for.

I can only suggest perhaps putting in an urgent ticket to ask, but I dont have the answer for you, Im sorry.

@Waiomao I feel your pain. Its the reason why I only rent from one particular SL agency now and have never again had to suffer fools and tossers again. They are the biggest, they've been here the longest and when I have need of renting extra space (not sure I can mention their name so I wont, but feel free to IM me inworld and I can give you their details), its them I rent from, because they not only allow the use of banlines, but encourage their use. And...bonus...they're cheaper than any other agency, because they can afford to be. You'll never hear them giving you a mouthful of nonsense about sucking it up and using an orb, or having to wait til one of them is online (there's always someone online 24/7) and giving them a list of offending names before they do the banning themselves. It's also the reason why I've preferred the old Linden homes in the old, old areas - not because the houses are spectacular (they're not particularly) but because you can use banlines - and that's all I care about. The day LL removes the use of banlines grid-wide is the day I quite happily leave SL without a second thought. But for you in your current situation, no need to quit SL. There's always more than one way to skin a dictator/sleaze bag/intruder. My solution (if you have a premium membership) was to buy 1024 sqm of mainland where I can use banlines to my hearts content and then rent a private parcel as well from my fave agency who encourages their use. If you don't have a premium membership, then I recommend renting from them anyway and you'll never again have to worry about intruders. Cant help you with the boat situation on the open sea though, sorry.

Yes but have you seen the new ones (still being built) next door to the birthday event? Soooo beautiful.

Clearly, yes but we're not there yet unless SL is murdered intentionally. So unless they're planning on breaking SL up and selling all the bits off for spare parts, then there's absolutely no reason it cant keep growing. Given the large numbers logging in during the whole Wuhan virus thing - and LL running out of land due to unprecedented demand as a result - then it would seem a bit silly and premature to start talking about shutting down housing development at this stage. Homes in SL are part of what draws some people in - knowing that for a monthly fee, they can have a place of their own to park their avi and decorate as they see fit, pretty much without restrictions. The whole world loves home decorating, after all.

To stop adding more homes would be a bit daft. The point is that SL can last indefinitely and more than likely will; I'm just not so sure about the new kids in the pilot seat. Clearly those were some seriously grown up britches driving this beast around. Ima wait to see how things pan out before moving from quarterly to annual membership. Perhaps this is why talks about some kind of new super premium appear to have ceased?

Famous last words - and oddly enough, almost word-for-word (bar names) that the owners of our formerly small and wildly successful ISP said at the last minute (literally), when they sold us up the river without warning (just like this) to a big group who thumb their nose at the law, government and customers and do as they please. They happily pay massive fines for false advertising - and keep right on doing it. Micro-transactions, reduction of services; take, take, take, give less, less, less; and let's be honest, anyone can make anything look like its a good thing - just google your angriest questions about Microsoft and watch numerous paid shill sites come up with the countless reasons why we should adore Microsoft. I hope time shows those of us who are wary, that we needn't be. I really do. But until then...thinking Kotick and ActiVision; R.I.P. WoW.

ActiVision comes to mind. Classic example.

Yes. Its the creator I feel for. Ultimately, we arent the victims, but a pattern looks like its emerging - DMCA, do nothing for 10 days, Genus allowed to return for a few days, another DMCA just to rain on the parade again, do nothing (again) for (another) 10 days, Genus allowed to return for a few days before....rinse, repeat. Hard to see this ending. Eventually, even the sanest among us will be dusting off their pitchfork if someone cant/wont step in to put an end to the nonsense.

I played Game of Homes a couple days ago just to see whats available and got several houseboats, a few Victorians (houses, not people), some log cabins, a trailer or three, tons of older homes in older areas (of which I'm quite fond - so sue me) and a notification that I could only refresh 9 times in 10 minutes (or 10 in 10) then had to wait 10. They've really outdone themselves with the stilt homes at Enchant. They're gorgeous. Was imagining the delighted reactions of whoever the few lucky people will be that manage to snag the ones out over the water. Just perfect!

Theyre aware of the issue now

Ditto here.

Not sure about being able to gift them but if you log into your dashboard and look under Account, you should see 'Change Name' listed there. They're $40 USD.

Yes. There has been a lot of groundless Nasty flying around but Genus will find out who was behind it and then - hopefully - will be able to let everyone know so it can stop.

Late response but you could also google anshex dot com - you can search exactly what youre looking for on that site. They have the best prices I've ever come across and all but one of their agents allows and encourages the use of banlines (so make sure to read the covenant before you purchase because I cant remember now which one of them wont allow banlines).

Its the best news ever, isn't it? Was so excited when I found out (and there were 68 people in their store! ) that I couldn't sleep and didnt care My understanding is that it wasn't settled and never went to court and the reason they're back is because, legally, if it hasn't been to court within 10 business days (or whatever the legal requirement was), they have to be allowed to return to business as usual. Meanwhile, the culprit who started it all is still in hiding and remains unknown, although I also understand Anna will be investigating to discover who was behind it. Whatever their reason, all they succeeded in doing was making Genus more popular and in demand than ever before, so I reckon that's a kind of justice all on its own, if not a bit of karma.

I would stick with clothes specifically marked as being for Legacy/Perky, but I'm not an expert. If you're finding that TMP clothing doesn't fit well, there might be your answer

You're terrible, Muriel! haha
