Do you mean as in Switched bodies? Just want to clear it up, before I write something and look totally stupid.
Yea, most of us that had TMP already moved on to other bodies (i.e. Maitreya, SLINK, Belleza, etc) and this is clearly reflected in polling done at the time. TMP was my second body (1st was SLINK Physique) and even though I preferred the look of Belleza's body over Maitreya I was afraid of being in the same position as I was with TMP and that was not finding enough content rigged for it. I waited for roughly 6-months or so after the public release of the dev kit (and this was a long time after the body had been released) before moving on to Maitreya. By that time, it was still extremely rare to find something rigged for TMP from a top tier creator.

While I can understand the frustration, this isn't a whole lot different from a landlord offering a fully furnished rental unit and that is extremely common. Most interior designers will have the client purchase the items directly from the creator and then move them into place for the client. If you really want to protect yourself, sell your product with no copy permissions, but I'd wager that would do more harm then good.

But if you have the old deluxe body and you have to spend further 2500 for this update, it's more likely you will spend the same amount to definitively switch to Maitreya.
I think most people already switched years ago (myself included). The original body was in BETA for something like 5-6 years! During that time, communication was nearly non-existent and there were 1 (maybe 2) updates during that timeframe.

The OMEGA version will allow you to use that skin on other OMEGA compatible heads/bodies but bear in mind that not all skin creators offer an Omega version. If you do purchase an Omega skin, you will need their HUD for both the body and head (additional cost). If not, just make sure the skin you are looking at is compatible with both Maitreya and Catwa. Most skin vendors will sell the body and head appliers separately. If the vendor does not sell the body appliers directly, they will generally include a NC with the demo as to which vendor sells the matching body applier.

yeah it is annoying they don't include the deformer in the demo cause if might work on someone's avi perfectly, but might not work on another. A lot of times it depends on your shape and the clothing. It is the same with some creators who don't include the HUD with their demo heads. No way to test it out to see how it will work for you.
I can tell you that my slimmer shape did not have very good results with the deformer. In fact, it was the opposite. I struggled to fit anything rigged for Maitreya with that shape. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the deformer is not included with the demo, most people will never realize what will fit or not fit until its too late. I suspect that the creators did not want people to have the option to test the deformer because of how spotty the results are. Instead, they'd rather you take their word for it and given their track record that might be hard for some to do.

Body skin and head skin match will be a problem.
Agreed. That is one good reason why this body should have Omega support. Having that would have alleviated the direct support this body now requires.

Hell, this body might give Slink Hourglass a run for its money if TMP gets support.
That's where this body will fail. As I've said before, I think most people could overlook some of the nuances of the body and HUD but when it came down to it, product support was abysmal and I suspect this time around will be no different.
The lack of OMEGA support is just plain stupid and for a lot of reasons.

Pink Fuel has good support for softer female body textures as well.
They also have options for muscularity which is also nice.
AMD also had a belly option.

As someone who changes their shape often, I'd love to have a function that allowed me to save the numerical data and then quickly re-apply them to another shape without having to export/import. Whether or not it's possible is another story. 😊

The new body looks really nice but then again so did the old one. I think a lot of people could ignore (even to some extent) all of the nuances that plagued the original body, but one thing that could not be overlooked was the lack of support from top tier creators. The mesh deformer that is included with the body (not available to demo) helps, but it is not the solution.
The HUD has been improved, but I still experienced a considerable amount of lag (the old HUD was notoriously laggy) when interacting with Alpha layers and other core functions. There didn't appear to be a save state option either (but don't quote me on that) which is rather disappointing.
I am going to advise people on a budget to hold off for now.-

I’ve never used a shopping hud, are they common?
Not common at all. I applauded them for trying to do something different, but sometimes different isn't always better. After all the criticism their HUD system received, you would think that they would have either improved on it or ditched it outright.

There have been more than a few instances where I didn't even finish a project before I am ready to move onto something else. That might not make sense to some, but the decorating in itself is the activity I enjoy. Right now, I have a platform set up with a few mini vignettes complete with walls, doors, floors, and windows etc. I can create a lot of very distinctive rooms and appreciate them independently of each other.

Looks s@xy in black! I love the dark theme. Is there an add-on for Firefox that anyone is aware of?

The survey results that MeshBodyAddicts released will probably give a better indicator of what people are using, but I own Freya, Isis, Physique, HG, TMP, and Lara. Lately, I have been using Lara. You just can't beat product accessibility when it comes to Lara, but I do like having options if I want to create different looks.

I realize that this is really about the complainers, however I just wanted to point out that there are some of us that do not create but still contribute by the L$ that we spend for everyone else's creations. I do not 'create' in any way - hell, I don't have a creative bone in me and I'm perfectly happy with that. I am nothing but a "consumer" of goods in SL, but creators would be in dire straights if there weren't folks like me willing to constantly buy, buy, buy.
Just to piggyback off of what Little said; the economic climate for many businesses in SL could be quite different if a lot more users created saleable content. Competition is good, but just imagine what would happen if consumers had even more outlets to buy goods or services. In these types of communities, it is generally assumed that a larger portion of that community will consume content rather than create it.

All true, but this happens because you have the body attached to the same place as something else, typically avatar center. Rather than just relogging it's better to see what is attaching to the same spot and if possible move it to another spot or if it's something like an attached pet that can't be moved and work correctly, then moving the body to another spot that is rarely used. This will prevent it from happening again. It's never a nice thing to have someone message you and tell you the body you think you are wearing is missing. If you don't want to move things, and are using the Firestorm viewer, rather than relogging I'd suggest using the refresh attachments option.
This is just one reason a HUD may seem to not be working. But there are others as well.
So are you saying the body would be missing (invisible) because of too many HUD's connected to one point on the body? Please elaborate....

When you see behavior like this from an attachment, it usually means that the attachment has been detached by the teleport but your viewer doesn't realize it so it continues to draw it. Because the server considers it to be detached none of the scripts can work and it can't be detached because it isn't really there. Relogging re-syncs the viewer to the server.
THANK YOU! I always wondered why that would sometimes happen. This totally makes sense. *(I'd like your post twice if I could!)* xD

But... it's misleading to compare SL now with SL 12 years ago, 12 years ago was the start of the Great SL Gold Rush, when millions flooded in, mostly for all the wrong reasons, and then, 3 years later flooded out again crying "Madlands parcels selling for LESS than 8 L$ a square meter? ALL IS LOST! FLEE!", it took a couple of years for most of the wrong crowd to disappear...
It just wouldn't be a proper post from Klytyna without mentioning the Madlanders. lol

Judging by the traffic there, it doesn't look like everyone's fully bought in. Anyone wanna start the clock on the server shutdown?
