is this problem of the viewer failing to draw some existing objects for anyone to see, the same problem with the viewer not drawing pose balls sometimes? is it connec ted with the way the viewer gets noticed of objects in the scene, that the server sends to the viewer (we can prove that the server sends the information because some avatars can see an object and others dont), and the viewer fails to recieve the information and dont draw the object? if the problem is how the viewer recieves information, the problem must be viewer side, what i can think about is that somehow there are packet loses, or something similar, like if the viewer would have a limit of information that can recieve. now, one thing about the objects that fail to draw is that they are temporary objects, objects that can go beyond the limits of prims of each sim, so the server dont count them, it may be that the problem is related to how the server handle those objects? maybe sending them to the viewer in a different channel?

we have gathered knowledge for so long, some people here are very passionate to know everything that is about SL, they know about the latest changes as it happens. I'm glad that with our collective knowledge we are able to help. Kudos to the poster who help you.

welcome back Rhonda! mesh was implemented, many saw the benefit of mesh in everything, they could make more well shaped objects and with low lag, where they didn't like it was for clothing, for example a shirt, because it didn't stretch to the different types of bodies, because mesh was rigid. Linden Lab worked to add some points in the avatar that mesh would read and stretch itself, it called it "fitted mesh", some call it "liquid mesh", other "rigged mesh", with time, they started making parts of the avatars in mesh, like hands, feet, until they made complete mesh avatars, with their own HUDs giving them more flexibility than the avatar we were used to. there has been new special effects, like real-time shadows, depth of field, ambient occlusion, and a way for owners of land to have their own ambient settings, with a nice fade in and fade out between ambients when you go between 2 places that have different ambient settings, there's also lighting projections, an image can be projected like a cannon of light over the world. the marketplace is still around, changes have been made, before, you used to buy a box, then unpack it for the contents to be in a folder in your inventory, now you can recieve what you brought as a folder in your inventory, unpacking is not necessary, another change is that the merchants can now sell directly from their inventory. there has been speed increases, Linden Lab reduce the process between the servers and the viewers, making everything faster, it now check for updates only when its necessary, also there has been improvements on the server side. there are new functions, before, to participate in certain role play sims some would give you an HUD that you need to wear, that it would be saved in your inventory, occupying space, now they can give you a temporary HUD, it dissapears from your inventory when you leave the sim. there is also a pathfinding feature, that can tell an object to follow a certain path, to follow certain avatars, or to find, with artificial intelligence, the best way to go from one place to the other. materials are coming, they are like bump mapping and shiny, but more complex, objects using that feature wil show a more realistic texture that will behave differently to light and angle of view. Linden Lab is making a new virtual world, called Sansar, some say is Second Life 2, in part it could be, because the products are not completly separated, we would be able to export our avatars to the new world, however, since it seems it the new world will be done mostly all in mesh, many things will be incompatible to export, maybe like prims and sculpties. i hope this keeps you updated and ready to enter seamlessly into this ever changing world. welcome back Rhonda, I'm glad you are here

if you dont want to make friends in SL, dont make them. you dont have to force yourself to be against your desires just to be like everybody else and fit in, if you find the rest of the people annoying, evade them, live in solitude.

i am not sure if its the best if we keep our current rez date, because it indicates the day that we first rez in Second Life. being Sansar another world, there must be an indication of the first day that we rez in Sansar, the two dates could be shown side by side, but i dont think that Linden Lab find it necessary to show both dates, maybe it will cause the new Sansar residents to feel "discriminated", asking themselves why some residents have 2 dates and they only have one, like what happened with last names, some residents were asking why they didnt have one while others have a last name, that divided the users in 2 camps. I think Linden Lab will evade that separation, everybody will have just one date showing, the first day they rez in Sansar. maybe the only separation they could make is a special priviledge badge for beta testers of Sansar, like they did with the beta testers of Second Life.

love and sex are not the same, altought it can be combined in some romantic cases. we should be able to feel great appreciation for anything we wish, as long as our actions lead to no harm.

i consider them important to the community based on their content, how much in touch are they with the inner workings of Second Life and how current they are.

some important Second Life blogs are: New World Notes ( http://nwn.blogs.com ) Daniel Voyager's blog ( https://danielvoyager.wordpress.com ) Nalates' Things & Stuff ( http://blog.nalates.net ) Jo Yardley's Second Life ( https://joyardley.wordpress.com ) The Drax Files ( http://draxfiles.com ) Strawberry Singh ( http://strawberrysingh.com )

the sybmbiosis between species is perfectly natural, if both species (in this case, a human and a monkey) can benefit each other, let them live together, as long as they are not affecting in a negative way the lifestyle of others, people should be allowed to have pets, many have dogs, cats, fish and turtles as pets, that is perfectly legal, doesnt affect society dramatically, and doesnt seem to be a significant danger to society. now, if the monkey accepts the affection of the woman, and the woman wants to love the monkey, i dont see anything wrong with it, we should be free to love anything we want, there should not be restrictions to love. i understand that it is an instinct to support whatever is more similar to us, we support people with our same ideologies, some tend more to support people who look more like them, or have a similar background, it is instinctive to try to unite with our similars, thats why i understand that you would find reprobable that a woman would care of a monkey as if it was her child, because the monkey is not from our specie, and we must support our specie first, in order to survive, while that is true, i dont see our specie as being in a disadvantage in comparison to other species on the planet, we are mostly dominant, more capable than what all the other species can do, if the woman wants to love a monkey, in no way that would be a threat to the suvival of humanity, we can allow them to feel love that both approve. while thats true that there are many human children who would need a mother and could have benefit from the care that that woman is giving to the monkey, if she is not willing to love in that way a human child, a child should not be given to her to be raised, fortunately, there are many people who are willing to give that love to a human child, the children in need should be given to them, the woman can live loving her monkey if she wants. is true that monkeys natural design is to be between nature, that is true also for every specie on the planet, we humans are designed to be in natural places, yet we modified nature to adapt to us, and it end up being a good thing, we end up being the most powerful specie on the planet, being in a place that is not naural can benefit other species too, cats doesnt seem to mind living together with humans and enjoying the benefits of their modified nature, maybe the monkey can benefit from it too. its true that a monkey is more difficult to educate than another human, it could do some unexpected things, it seems to me that having a cat or a dog is the same risk, if for any reason they decide to attack a child, or another one of our specie, they can do it anytime if their personality is dangerous and the pet has not been trained, some pets can be trustable that they would not attack other humans unless they are under a threat, if the monkey is trained and has a trustable personality, the care it should be taken with it should be the same as the care given to cats and dogs in relation to interaction with other humans.

Welcome to Second Life!

it should be under Sports & Hobbies, maybe the staff that is in charge of adding content to the Destination Guide is too busy doing other things. sometimes it takes the Lindens a long time to answer users requests, maybe because they are too many, that can be seen in the amount of time it takes them to answer requests in costumer support. you can keep sending requests to appear in the Destination Guide, some day they are going to read them and add you.

you should talk with him about what makes you uncomfortable, he probably invited you to live with him because he likes your presence, it make his days better to see you, probably you both want to live as best as possible together without much bothering things to deal with. maybe he didnt thought that what he did would bother you, if it bothers you too much, you can mention it to him and maybe he is not going to do it anymore, if its important to him to keep doing it, you can either live with it and not give it too much importance, or maybe you could warn him that that action makes it unable for you to live with him. i really hope you both can agree in solving those obstacles and have an agreement that benefit both.

seeing that splatulated has means to achieve 4,500, i don't think that just by standing there, it probably has means to achieve an amount of money that will grant him/her the possibility to buy or rent land that allows him/her to rez at least 386 prims, by that time, it would be totally possible that he/r ship can be rezzed and s/he can live there.

yes, i think the amount of money will increase and decrease several times as s/he makes transactions, there will be a point where the amount will be at its max high, during that time i hope s/he have enough money to rent or buy land that will have enough prims to rez the ship.

during the passing of time, people increase the amount of money they have, and decrease it as well, there may be a point in his/her time that s/he would have more money, during that time if s/he would like to afford more space, s/he will have the probability of renting or purchasing that extra land, so possibly with time, if that wish is there, s/he will have more land.

with time you should be able to rent a bigger place that allows you to rez more prims, by then, you may be able to rez your ship and maybe live there, living the lifestyle that pirates of the era enjoyed.

i consider Spanish my first language, since i grew in Mexico mostly, English as my second language, altought i learned it since i was a child. i grew up with people that speak both languages, i think Spanish was the first language i heard. i admire multilingual people, if a person can speak more than one language, they have in their minds a vast variety of words they can use to express themselves.

some are on the opinion that Second Life should change its name. it was originally thought as a form to recreate life digitally, with the advancement of technology that was available at that time, it sound impressive, challenging, innovative, as the years went by more ideas were developed, and second life, like many older techonologies, were moved a little out of mainstream to let the new ideas have the spotlight, the name got in consideration, and yes, some things that could be updated were found in it. for example, "second", second could be percieved as second class, second place, being always in the shadow of something greater, second place is never the best. "life", as it was intended, it was to reflect a technological marvel, but during the years, mainstream took it as quiting or devalue real life, as a competitor to real life, second life users as betrayers of real life, people start saying that second life users dont have a life (meaning being very social, and having a succesful job), suggesting many negative things against what they didnt understand, showcasing their ignorance inveting things about second life users in order to defend real life, maybe they were influenced by a problem that we still see today, based on ingorance, many dont understand computers and the internet yet, or anything digital, so they are uncomfortable in not understanding something that they havent participated yet, they make up excuses for ther lack of participation in a modern society, and defend themselves creating negative concepts about technology, they still see the use of modern phones as an ilness of society, juslt like modern phones, they attack the other life that is taking people away from real life, without knowing that people use it for their jobs, as entertainment, as a learning tool, or training. some names have been sggested, such as Utopia, VirtualWorld, or other ones, i think it will be good for Second Life to change its name, altought many old residents have grown fond of the name for nostalgic puposes, so Linden Lab would probably find opposition from them.

those people who add you to their roleplay without your consent are very wrong. specially if that roleplay involves a highly negative attitude towards your person, such as killing you. its true that that only happens inside their minds, but it is as offensive as someone thinking inside their minds the worst concepts about you, specially if you did nothing to be a reason to have those thoughts, i hope those people face the consequences of their actions. these actions are affecting you and others, probably in a daily basis, bringing a negative experience to Second Life users, if Linden Lab would care enough that thier product would be appreciated, they would have solved that problem with at least prohibiting this practice in the TOS, because it makes the experience worse. now, you personally can ignore, mute these people and forget about them, but other people affected have not recieved this advice, and may be reducing their desire to participate more in sl or completely leave. i hope linden lab give this the importance that deserves, and find a way to reduce these types of unethical practices.

if you get that message in Second Life, than probably that person that have a Second Life account talked like that in that moment in time. now, do every person that have a Second Life account talks like that always? observing how you write here, being yourself a Second Life account owner, we can come to the conclusion that some talk like that, and some dont. in case you made up all those words, than no, is not for real. you seem to have a very negative reception towards that form of talking, and by thus, you attribute characteristics that you may find negative in people, for example you maye find a negative charateristic if someone is 50 years old, or wear underwear, or have hair on their body, or humans that wear preschooler outfits in their lives, adding those charateristics that you feel as negative to that person, maybe help you to increase the negative feeling towards the author of that message, and make you feel more separation from that person, and maybe, you feel better comparing yourself with that person, reinforcing the notion that you are more perfect than s/he is. it must feel very good to imagine a lot more negative characteristics towards another person and compare yourself, maybe enhances your self esteem, but you have to be aware that those characteistics are fake, and therefore, the gain you obtain from it is fake, if you only use the information that you know as a fact, only the text that s/he wrote to compare yourself with her/him, you will have a more healthy image of yourself.

usually mesh product you just wear them directly from your inventory, it adapts automatically to your body. in case it come packaged in a box, you need to unpack it, you can go to a place that allows you to put things on the floor, like a sandbox (you can find one using the search function of the viewer), you put it on the floor, right click on it, and select open, everything is going to be copied in your inventory, from there, you can go to your inventory ad its gonna be in a folder, if you dont know where the folder is, you can search "nova human mesh" in the search function of the inventory and you will see it. when you see whats in the folder, wear the mesh body and you will see it on you.

Linden Lab gave us the freedom, we provided the creativity. maybe some are here for the creativity, to create or admire the creations of others, maybe some are here for the freedom, to create anything and do anything they want. lets see if another platfom provides with more freedom to express our creativity.

your comparison of what people prefer instead of SL as a form of competition is very wide, for every form of entertainment there are infinite other forms of entertainment that people would prefer, if we narrow it down to a category, lets say, videogames, we could see some form of competition between players that like tetris to players that like battlefield, the users of one style of game will not change to the other because one cant offer what the other can, competition would be if one has the posibility to attract the same type of people from one type of game to the other. Second Life users are still here after 10 years, why if it has problems? because there is no other platform in existence capable of attracting SL users by offering a better form of doing what they found in SL attractive. after working for a while implementing ideas and implementing experience of what made SL as it is, and working with new technology to express those ideas, the new virtual world must be very advanced by now, they are working in a new virtual world, they may not want another SL with its problems, reputation, that would be like carrying the old problems with them, they want to make a fresh start with everything that made SL as beloved as it is despite its problems.

if headsets come to the market in a good way as replacements for tablets and phones, they will not interrupt the phisycal world suroundings, it will enchance it. the problem today with screen and devices that we carry in our hands is that it make us stop paying attention to our surroundings and make us get distracted by looking at a little screen for all the informartion we need (maps, information, communication), headsets cant function the same way as phones would, they cant be blocking our eyes blinding us to the physical world, they have to somehow bring what we want to see as part of the physical world, maybe the next virtual world will blend with the physical, using virtual reality headsets to create 3D objects in thin air with certain benefits, Microsoft Hololens does that, the next "Second Life" would have to be something similar.

the development of the next virtual world is very advanced by now, they will probably release it next year, during the development time and ideas, they must be developing a way for it to be accesible with phones and tablets, knowing that the popularity of those devices is on the rise, and is still going more popular. LL seems to be creating this new virtual world because the one we have right now it has too many problems that cant be solved with the old technology that has at its core, in order to make a good product, they have to clean up and make it from scratch, eventually they will get rid of "Second Life" and replace it with something very similar, maybe with a new name, they have to completely reinvent and rethink themselves to leave all the bad reputation behind. something that they can do to widen the audience of their new platform is to promote it in game streaming services like Sony Playstation Now and Nvidia GRID, that way they can have it accesible in Smart TVs, they could still offer it to PC users, during the time PCs are still popular. before that happens, they are gonna keep improving SL as much as they can while they complete their new virtual world, SL users are not going away to competitors because nobody offers what SL does, SL is the best of what it does, nobody is even close to offer such flexibility, such freedom, so much potential as SL does, World of Warcraft is limited of what you can do, IMVU has movement restrictions, Sony wanted to make a virtual world and failed in a few months, Second Life is still here after 10 years, and thats because there is nothing better at what it does than SL.
