I was thinking that at the NUX hub we use it as a teaching tool. As Abnor said we learn differently. So having a choice of the Nux hub with videos and that thing. People who want to learn via a gamified tutorial such as that. Can click a board and be whisked off to the fantasy rpg style tutorial. Just don't make me collect stamps around the grid to earn groups. I would get so bored so quick.

by stating that it is the primary motivator, that is being disingenuous. You are making a broad statement as a fact, that may not be true at all. The fact that people keep on telling you this, and you basically go. But no you're wrong. Is annoying. People build for a whole host of reasons. I mean sure sexual activities and even 3D sexual innuendos may be part of it. But again, there are so many reasons why people build.

Can we just go with something more simplistic, I know you have probably played runescape or some sort of Fantasy game. Where it drops you in a tutorial world, or even Elder Scrolls dropping you in a dungeon and you learning stiuff along the way. Like when we initially pan in on the character, the character creation menu pops up and you have to work on your character.

You really seem obsessed with sex, i mean each of these activities could have sex involved. But not eveyone will be going sailing, dancing and even exploring just to bang pixels. There are some pretty beautiful sims, that I just love exploring to look at the scenery and even admire someones decorating of the region. And yes it is part of every community, but it's a very broad assumption to say everyone is doing these actives just to bang pixels.

I want my newb to go on this epic fantasy style quest that is made of a few regions, to teach people the basics. Then at the end, it gives you a portal to the NUX hub, where they can learn more.

I wanted a runescape style tutorial, where they would use animesh peeps to basically give you quests to learn about how to use SL.

There are probably more ways to lure in new users, than just SLex. And I think the OP really needs to understand that, and realize it just ain't about it.

I mean if it's a lure, then post it as a jira. I mean I was gonna make a terrible fishing joke, but decided not to. Lol

I am not arguing cause I don't like it, I am saying that it would not be the best idea to serve one demographic only and ultimately turn SL into a BDSM and sex platform. That is the reason why I am arguing, I am calling you out. Not everyone comes to SL for sex, if they do. That is totally fine, and they can do it to their heart's content. People come to SL for so many different reasons, people continually login for so many different reasons. Totally changing the platform or even serving only one demographic would make no sense at all.

Why do I need to feed my soul?

Why?

No it's not a lie, I can literally do or be anything I want, without the confines of RL. IE I can be an elf in this magical forest, in a fantasy roleplay. That is why I said your world, your imagination. SL is literally what you want it to be. So if you want it to be just about sex, go for it. If you want to shop, explore or even create. Do that to your hearts content. Your world your imagination is subjective, and individualistic. meaning you play SL how you want to play it.

Here is an idea, if you want a purely sex platform. Why not build a platform using the Unity Engine, instead of expecting LL to totally overhaul the platform. That last bit is a reach, you really can't say with 100% certainty why people want to roleplay as vampires. I mean there is more than just Trueblood.

Not everyone who joined watched True Blood, some came from other Vampire movies or shows. You are really making a broad assumption to why people did this. As someone once said, SL is your world your imagination. So stop trying to change the platform to fit what you want.

I mean yea sure, but you need to turn that on in region or parcel settings. I don't remember. I was more meaning a needs system, like the user made ones that are in SL, being implemented into SL. That would make it more of a defacto survival game.

Well a bit back, before SLB Patch talked about making Linden run events for the Nux avatars. So creators could make clothes and other stuff for it and the shopping event would be run by LL.

I am not saying SLex or even needs systems need to disappear. I just feel like if you were to add that to the viewer, that would essentially make SL a defacto survival game, with peaceful. So you play SL how you usually play it and then non peaceful, where there are survival aspects for your avatar to even maintain itself in SL. We don't need to make SL another more complex Minecraft.

Oh I know it does cater to people like yourself, I have nothing wrong with you playing your SL how you want. But I don't think that the whole survival aspect, needs to be a part of the viewer. Users have created perfect systems for that reason.

Please don't. Lol. I don't want to hear that theory again.

That is why I said that, SL is perfect just the way it is right now. There is no need to drastically change it, turn it into a defacto survival game or a defacto sex/BDSM platform.

I just want an SL where you get the freedom to do what you want, and be what you want. That would be the best sandbox ever.

I mean the explorers, the builders, the shoppers, the many communities like vamps and other groups. How about no, I just want SL to be the way it is right now. I think myself and many others love the way it currently is.

I know I am quoting myself, but this also takes away from free choice and free expression. If you are basically forced by LL to live out an actual life. It would make SL boring, no one wants to come on to take a crap in SL. Especially after they took a crap in RL. I don't want SL to turn into a survival-oriented platform nor do I want to see SL just about BDSM and sex. I love SL just the way it is. It is fine if you don't. But stop trying to say SL would be better if those two things were just it.

You are though. That is the thing. You basically said screw diversity, let's just serve one demographic and well the other demographics don't matter.

I mean how many people come to SL to do the basic necessities of life, Eat Sleep, bathroom shower. This idea is kinda farfetched. If I wanted to play a survival game, I would just play the dozens I already have.
