    Earth changing event

    I say stop the worrying about near earth objects at and put a rocket powered table tennis bat the size of australia in orbit ...as the asteroid approaches get the pilot ( the chinese are very good at table tennis) to fire the rockets and give it a good volley....

     

    alternatively get a very strong series of fishing lines which you can plunge into the surface of the asteroid and attach it to the moon...then go mine out all the metals at your leisure....

     

    some people have no imagination ;)

     

     

     

    What happened to the updates on the SL Economy etc?

    They havent tried everything at all because they steadfastly refuse to take the one step that might just reinvigorate interest in sl and thats to make it cheaper...its not rocket science....

     

    but in my book the fact that lindens refused to paticipated in the recent birthday celebrations, the lack of news coming from lindens...points to something going on behind the scenes......and being a born pessimist I dont see it as anything good.

     

    Reduce tiers reduce the cost of a premium account, give bonuses to long term customers - increase stipends and free land allowances. Make customers feel 'valued'

    What will you do with the Advanced Creator Tools Launched Today?

    I was suggesting new additions to the build menu years ago ...simple stuff that might reinvigorate the stagnant building mechansims available inworld - its a pity those few who went on about meshes so vociferously didnt push for something inworld instead of taking the onus away from lindens who can simply say go off and learn to use some software out there - even though it might be complex, or expensive and even though it cant be used to build inworld...why should they care ? Not only has mesh given Linden labs the excuse to forget all about the inworld builder but it earns them extra revenus too. All that talk about new inworld building features while mesh was going through beta has so far proved false. Lindens couldnt even give use a decent size increase in prims rather than doing the sensible thing and pushing prim size up to 100 metres.....

    I wonder if people would still griedf if they had to pay to get into sl...and pay for alt accounts to. ?

     

    Personally as a long term sl user I think everyone should be paying a premium regardless... However if everyone were paying for both their original avy ( and  a reduced amount for each alt) Lindens would then be expected in my book to reduced both premium fees and tiers AND positively stimulate the land market in the process....

    Legalised griefing tools which should be banned. Theyre an inconvenience to sl explorers who arent doing anything wrong...if I was in a sandbox and I was boosted across sl i 'd ar the culprit  -what makes these stupid and ppointless gadgets any different ??

    SL can't do what MMO's did 20 years ago?

    Why dont I believe these people who seem to be able to tp without trouble., who never go to laggy sims etc ... Ive been in sl five years an tps fail more than they ever have as does trying to cross borders in a vehicle - despite promises this would be fixed....

    Personally Ive always believed there was a 'propaganda' machine in operation to pour scorn on those with valid and oft heard complaints.....At the same time Im getting a heightened sense that the people in charge dont actually care that much about whats going on in sl for the long term users... not that the people at the top of the totem pole seemed to care that much anyway.... just keep taking the money and run I think.

    The End!

    Quality of service and value for money are two totally different things from investment which is a gamble - you pays your money you takes your chance as we say here.

     

    I dont expect to see anything back for my payment other than a good working service and ever improving features enhancing the inworld experience as some pr person at sl might say... In view of the number of crashes, tp failures and the completely dormant state of inworld building its not really suprising that so many people seem to be cutting back the amount they pay.

     

    Linden labs non participation in sl9 celebrations is hardly encouraging either
