  1. @Beth Macbain Looks like @Quartz Mole got your post and responded with the explanation of the process it takes to create Belli. I know the posts got a bit curt at times but I think everyone needed a clear explanation. And that's what forums are for. I, for one, will be waiting patiently for my new houseboat and the spending spree that will follow when I personalize it. Everyone wins when we shop and buy and in our own way create the world of Second Life that captured most of us so long ago. Yes LL... I am forever yours.
  2. Thank You @Quartz Mole and all the others who have responded so passionately concerning this topic.. I will not get into missing folders and such as that is probably an issue with the viewer I am using as some of you pointed out. As for the new houseboats and all other content creations used on Bellissaria I realize that is not user created. That snippet was taken out of a rant concerning the reasons I feel premium prices should not have changed yet until the new continents and houses are available. The most epic thing that came from my ranting and raving was Quartz Mole's explanation of why it is taking so long to finish the new regions.. This is the transparency we deserve and I was looking for. Someone from LL to come out and just explain the delay... we are all excited.. this is OUR game. We have kept it going for all this time because we are diehards. If I offended anyone at all please go back and read the entire set of my postings. I never attacked another player personally. I was only trying to open the dialouge a bit more and wake LL up to put it into high gear..Belli is REAL and here now.... but if your gonna bring cookies to class... bring enough for everyone.
  3. That's the thing.... I do pay... quite a lot to play.. I am a premium holder.. I also pay for 4096sqm of land where I have a wonderful space... That does not include my spending in world and on MP for great mesh and to support creators and LL.. I do not want them to fail at all...I agree its a business and they want more profit... All I want is fairness for all premium account holders and not being able to claim a property in the new regions feels exclusive..
  4. I did not need or ask for any help in my original posting.. I was expressing frustration for all the users that have missing inventory issues and the fact there was a need for a fix in the first place, so thank you for correcting .. but it was not needed. Also .. I never personally attacked anyone here in the thread so being called 'an $%#^$! is probably going too far .. but I am a big boy.... All my recent criticism has been directed towards the premium price increases and the fact we are still waiting for big changes for everyone from this company. Some users said it should be expected that prices will increase because all prices increase eventually.. But LL is making money.... 75 million dollars a year for the last few years.. not losing anything at all.. Second life is a steady cash cow for LL and it makes no good sense to change it in any way for them .. That's just good business sense. To those who say SL is free, just go basic .. even basic accounts buy clothing and spend money to rent etc. a cut of that pair of virtual pants is going to LL for setting up the server space. I am only trying to open the dialogue that ALL OF US have said to each other almost every time we meet .. who among you has not complained about freezing up and crashing out on your way to a party?.. We all complain about SL to each other but here in the forums its all sweet and spice and everything nice... This is the place to let LL know what we need to keep coming back. Your not going to get that Bellisaria house by talking about how cute the moles are dancing around the unfinished regions...
  5. So there is a fix for inventory disappearing from our folders? We must have a problem with disappearing inventory! Voila!
  6. @Lindal Kidd Premium account at 99 a year and land rental of 250 a year for 4096sqm from LL....You can rent space on a privately owned sim for about 150 a year as opposed to LL's total cost with premium account of almost 350 a year. We have to look at the true cost of SL and stop making excuses for LL's inflated pricing. Sorry to be so negative but everyone is drinking the koolaid when it comes to what you are actually paying to play this game every year.
  7. @Selene Gregoire..... I know the firestorm inventory cache clear trick ... still have multiple empty folders from older items I bought in the first few years of SL.. if you dont have any empty folders then perhaps you are a younger avi then me. But I respect your opinion and your fix info for users that have the problem and need to know the fix. @Beth Macbain.. Sorry Beth .. I completely respect the time you put into the forums but ....Shift/Drag/Release.. its how every sim owner/Landlord sets up there control boxes... Remember that Linden labs supports the scripting and lays the land but its the users who generate and create the content. The land is already there.. how long does it take to copy a few hundred trees and boats? They have been doing houses for years .. the scripting is already there... They should never have released Bellissaria if it was not large enough to cover every premium member who has paid the membership fees.. Now you have a slight few who have these great blogs about all the fun they are having with each other in Bellissaria....and the rest of us are still creeping around in tiny prim houses that no one wants.. feels like I was left out and I am not happy with LL about it. Only the few privileged members who were able to grab up the parcels are singing oh happy day. I do not even want to read their blogs or forums about all the parties and events they are having.. and dont say I am invited to those events cause without a house or houseboat .. I am an outsider looking in.
  8. Ok .. fingers slip .. we all get excited about Second Life.. I mean a million of us are still active users after all these years so something is right with SL. But its the slow as molasses changeover that frustrates me. The new continents of Bellissario were discussed/hinted at more than a year ago and we are STILL waiting for completion. 3 years ago it was announced that most resources and staff were being allocated to Sansar VR platform... we were all toting SL 2 and hoping we could transfer our belongings and creations along with our avi's...now where has that gone? None of us are scrambling to buy VR headsets and massive PC's to run them. So it is bad choices that the lindens are making that sets us back year after year. I can play a fast paced shoot em up video game with the most amazing graphics ever but cant get my avi transported to another sim without a major freeze up and eventual crash. I understand they are different platforms but come on .. we are shelling out all this cash ( And now they want more for premium ) every year for essentially a virtual social network that cannot even allow a boat to cross sims easily without epic fail. A lot of people here shower linden with accolades for every small step forward they make while forgetting the fact half the inventory they bought over the years has disappeared out of their cache without a clue. How many of you have empty folders lurking in the back of your inventory files. Start holding LL accountable for not moving forward fast enough and put down the hopeium pipe. Now I say this with tongue in cheek because truthfully if second life were to close down tomorrow I would grieve for the loss of one of the most important aspects of my life and my development for the last 14 years. The friends I have made ARE real.. The things I have learned have grown me as a person. I have taken on technical challenges I never would have imagined before SL and I am proud of that. Now I just have to figure out a way to tell my boss that I really need sundays off because I DJ at this virtual club where people from around the world gather to dance and have gesture parties and show off the newest mesh clothing they found....nevermind... its easier just to say I am involved in this online networking thingy and he would not understand... So come on Patch.. put the fire to the moles and get those houseboats completed.. I know creators that can set up complete sims in a day.. why is it taking the moles so long to add a few plants and stop with the cooling tower nonsense.
  9. You spend a thousand every couple months to play in virtual land?...... Really?... I can barely admit I still play this game after all these years and there are users out there that spend a thousand every couple months? I cant even get my hands on a Bellissario houseboat after 4 months of waiting.... Do you really think this game is worth your 4 grand a year? sorry .. I do not buy it.
  10. I have now 2 times grabbed a linden home in Bellas and given it back within minutes... You can get a home if you are persistent daily in trying.. I did not even try often. My issue is I want a houseboat because I started my sl as a sailor and love the water. I wil continue to try and maybe I will get lucky but if a house is what you want they are easy to come by.
  11. No one really cares about group limits and offline messages.. really? The only thing any premium member cares about is the cost of playing the game and prims.... Give us more land for the tier pricing and more prims for use on that land.. I am paying a thousand a year out of pocket to buy lindens and play this game... If they raise the fees all they will do is drive more premium accounts into the freebie zone. Do I get free shipping for my 99 buck a year premium account? Or even a streaming video service? No ... all I get is virtual goods held hostage in server rental land.... after 13 years it's getting old linden....
