Quote from SL release notes: "A new scheme for performing HTTP operations is introduced with this release. It is intended to reduce crashes and stalls while performing HTTP operations and generally enable performance and reliability improvements in the future. In this release, it is being used by the viewer's texture retrieval code. Our expectation is that it will provide consistent and predictable downloading of textures. As well as the usual problem reporting, we're also interested in confirmation of improvements where this release improves your experience". http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Release/3.4.3 Can anyone tell me what the "new scheme" is? I have been experiencing excessively high CPU usage. At times, the CPU usage spikes to 100%. The average is somewhere around 60%. Prior to the Release, my CPU usage was about 25%. I was thinking about adding a second processor, but I'm concerned that this "new scheme" is what (may have) caused a hardware failure in my pc. I've been visiting another site, to pass the time. I was hoping that eventually, new SL releases would address this high CPU issue. I was having the same high CPU usage at that other site, and disabling my Firewall eliminated the problem. I was hoping that the firewall was also the problem in SL, but after just visiting SL, the high CPU issue remains. I can add a second processor, and reconfigure the PC, it would be helpful to know what this "new scheme" is. -snip-

You might be right. It will inevitably bring attention to SL, if it airs. I just hope the attention is good. Plenty of posers, are going to try to peddle their half baked stories. They could make it a forum contest, "the best of the worst". :smileyvery-happy: Allow experienced Residents, to offer opinions on authenticity. :smileywink:

Review the information in the link, about setting your Preferences: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Setting-your-preferences/ta-p/700131 Visit an empty Region, to rule out lag as a cause. A Region named Voice Echo Canyon, is a good place to test if you use Voice. Toggle the selection boxes, on various media settings, sometimes helps to get them activated, or, to prompt a plug-in to ask for internet access. Music, is best tested on land you rent, or own.

In the Region Kuula, is a Group that helps Residents, new, and old. The Group host many types of SL classes, and activities. The Inworld Classifieds are an excellent resource, for Residents who are interested in attending an Event in SL. The Premium Sandboxes, are among my favorite destinations. Thousands upon thousands of prims, all for me... sorta. Using Search, looking in Groups, can lead to recreation. Acquire a vehicle, get out on the roadway, and drive. When you find something you think is interesting, stop the vehicle, and have a look, or a chat, with the object of interest. Don't be shy; you have a firewall, so, you're safe.

I don't like it. I don't trust MTV.

It is my opinion, that reflector type weapons, are the best weapons. Technically, you never attacked any Resident.

If you are an Adult, yes. Follow the Shopping Link, near the top of this page, to Market Place. You may have to adjust your preferences, in order to be able to view Adult rated items.

There are limits on purchasing L$, based on how old your account is. Maybe that is the problem? If you already have the L$ in your Account, you should be able to purchase as many items as you want from MP. https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/describe-limits.php

If I read that in a Resident's profile, I would have pity for them, for they are filled with hate. I would ignore that Resident.

I've never liked commas. They look like curly cues. :matte-motes-not-entertained: Puts a perm, on words. You really don't know a person, until you've lived with them for a few weeks. One bad apple, would be bad. :smileyhappy: We can help ourselves, if LL is willing to work with us. We the Residents, need to supply an absolute non profit Help system. LL needs to provide the ability to do that. I have my coffee, and I have power. Move this Forum Inworld. (as an example)

I believe that you are correct on the recruitment policy. The Terms of Service, has a statement which appears to confirm that. Section 10.5 It appears that some changes, and or additions have been made at the TOS. :smileysurprised: I don't recall seeing some of the data that is now there, maybe it's just me. http://secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php

10 cents, from every dollar, should be reinvested. LL needs to hire better people. Recruit from within. There have been times, in communication with Support, in which I beleived that I knew more about SL, than Support did. That should not happen. Actions effecting Groups of Residents, should not be viewed by LL, as interpersonal disputes. LL should act in the best interest of SL, in those instances. I would fire everybody, and start over. If they're not dead serious about the job, they can go home right now.

I remember reading that thread, and the resulting List. I agree that the list was not reflective of the Residents suggestions. These Topics will continue to be presented, for as long as the problems remain. LL can run, but they cannot... hide...; technically they can hide.... :smileyfrustrated:

At your Dashboard, at your Account page, is a transaction History. That will show where the L$ went. It is very likely, that a Group you may have Joined, has the box, Share Group Liability with Members selected. Liability is the monthly fee to own a Group. It is my opinion, that Owners of groups, should pay for their own groups. Some Group owners are not aware that the fee is being shared. You may have to Leave the Groups that share liability. I can send you a couple of L$ when I login.

LL should be forthright, in admitting that they don't know the answer. Or, admit that they aren't working on it. Market Place should have it's own support system. If the Team is unqualified, they should be replaced. A Linden could have chimmed in on that thread, cleared things up in 5 minutes; I don't know why they don't. :smileyindifferent:

I think we can all agree, based upon poor performance, that LL has their Priorities screwed up. I agree, first impressions cannot be made a second time. The word service, comes from the words serve us. On the same note, there are Region Owners, who did not get Support, and a free account did. In the context of comparing SL support to that of WoW, SL offers free accounts, with no obligation, expressed, or implied, to pay. WoW, is offering a trial period, with the primary intent, of making those account paid accounts, (and to provide fresh fish, to hack and slay). This isn't about me, but I've got nothing to hide. I've been premium for 6 years. I purchased Land as soon as the system allowed me to. I joined knowing exactly what I wanted to do. (build) I have been very fortunate, to be able to afford the ability to contribute financially. I am aware that not all Residents can. Wow's customer base, is directly relative to the level and quality of support WoW can provide. Comparing SL's customer base, is relevant, in my opinion. I support free accounts. The idea that a person can join SL with nothing, and make something great, from virtually nothing, is part of the magic I see in SL. I wouldn't want that to ever change. People who know me, might know me. I'll try to help anybody, it's never been about money.

I only said that emphasize my point. WoW can count on most of the Revenue they generate, because of the pay systems they have in place. The phone company , and cable company, both want 2 year service agreements. I'm not alone in my thinking. A company requires Capital, to plan for, and to make capital improvements. It also provides for peace of mind, to the investors. Yearly plans, not just month to month. I am also getting bored. How about we find a way to fix it. Do you have any suggestions, as to what the Priority Cases are, and the order in which they should be answered?

I agree. SL does not generate the same revenue as WoW. They do not have the same resources. All Accounts should have access to Support. All Tickets should be read, and receive a response from LL. I don't know how to fix Support. If I was in charge of Support, my problems, would be very low on the response list. Regions Off Line Object Grief on the Grid Private Region Owners Mainland Region Owners Top Merchants Top Groups Premium Memberships Residents with L$, or usd Residents with -0-L If the number (9) Resident, reports a Region offline, that Case is a Priority #1. I've tried to be considerate, of all Residents, in making a list. (checking it twice, gonna find out whose been naughty or nice...)

In the Context of comparing why SL Support is not the same as a juggernaut like WoW. In understanding, that a majority of Support Cases, are issues a resident could have solved on their own, or, in which they themselves, are the cause of the problem. The person who owns 5 Regions, had to wait, because someone's shoes didn't fit right. Real important stuff. If a Resident spends so much money, what's the problem with going Premium? You can get $52 back, on a Yearly plan. Why won't they commit?
