LOL... you do have a point..

Tell me Linden Labs. Why I should pay tier or buy things on the market place to use on the grid when the grid is constantly being restarted with no explaination other than unscheduled maintenance.
4 times this week my region was restarted. All 4 times my clubs were busy. This costs me money that I give to you each and every month for tier. Do you not want my tier money? Your making it impossible to maintain a business here.
For those who do not have an inworld shop, club, or business of some sort this is no major big deal, but to those of us with clubs and game rooms where the actual pressence of live avatars spending lindens it's killing our income.
Now you tell us it could take up to 5 hours to cycle? Where is our compensation for your lack of service to us your consumer?

Sorry Janitor I was mainly slinging off at LL. That is their typical answer.

Ok LL... There have been several Post here in the past few days over issues that are plaguing a lot of us.
We have had excuses handed to us that range from faulty alternative viewers to our own ISP connections to out dated equipment.
One unmistakable fact I am seeing is it all seems to have happened in the past 4 to 7 days.
The issues seem worse in some regions than others. There is something wrong and I for one am tired of the guessing game. All of us that are serious players here spend a lot of money each month.
We need to see faster fixes to issues. Responses that contribute more than the expected typical responses we all seem to be getting lately.
Its odd to me that one person has issues even in an alt avi yet another seems to be ok on an alt avi.
I have my serious doubts that everyone has outdated equipment, faulty viewers or bad connections. Especially when just 3 or 4 days ago things were working good.
LL bans gambling in Second Life but Lately is is a crap shoot if you can log on at all or you can even function once you do.
What is draining the System so badly that this log jam of information can not function like it should. Find and remove it. Please!!
-
May want to check and see if your eqipment is up to date or maybe check your connection with your ISP.
Thats what they always tell me.
Oh and never use a third party viewer.
-
LL is gonna send one of the shills to tell you this is your connection or outdated equpiment like they have several others this week.
I am however convinced even more so now it is an LL issue of which they wish to cover up for what ever reason cause they have no clue how to fix it yet.
-
Wow Yet another member with rez crash issues.... I wonder if their equipment is outdated as you stated mine was a few days ago or is this the new go to statement LL has handed down?
-
lol.. You must be one of the 1%. Or you never visit the grid everyone else is using. With very little effort I can show you 3 or 4 dozen bot farms.
My equipment is top of the line and constantly updated. I use it to make my real life living so lets not go there with old outdated equipment as a reply. Surely LL sent you back with a better comment than that one.
come to think of it I just fell through a floor yesterday on a teleport. Then subsequently crash shortly thereafter.
I will agree graphics are better. Build tools are also better but even those now are never used by a lot of builders.
If you have never lost any inventory that's wonderful once again your probably in the 1% Again.
As far as keeping it in order to not have to search and insinuate people are slobs and do not categorize their inventory is ridiculous. That is not the issue for losing it and assuming it is in inventory. One day you will rez something that is no copy and when it disappears for ever you will understand. But you have to actually spend time on the grid to do so of course.
When you rez a no copy item and it never rezzes. It never goes back to your inventory and knowing its correct name is not an issue cause your looking at the folder it actually came in..What is the cause of that problem? ohh let me guess. Its my viewer. My connection and now my old out dated equipment.
hmmm?
Yeah I will agree griefers do not routinely crash sims. Now they just release bugs into the entire grid which call for unplanned rolling restarts to correct the issue. As is what took place tonight.
I think this just about wraps up stability.
-
Typical shill response... You re correct. It is far more predictable. You can now count on crashes. Irreverent lag issues. Constant loss of rezzed items that never seem to ever find there way back to lost and found. So yes I will agree it is far more predictable.
As for stability. That is as you put it a matter of preference. I prefer it to be much better than what I am paying for now which is nowhere near what it was 5 years ago.
-
In the nearly 5 years I have been in Second Life. I have never seen the teleport crashes as bad as they have been since the sim idling process began.
I seldom ever crashed before this. Crashing for me on my computer was a most rare ocassion, Now if I teleport or open inventory while chatting to someone in IM. I crash.
It seems as if half the resources to keep us online has vanished or rerouted to other things.
Could the idling of sims cause lag spikes when they become active that act as a power surge and knock any number of people offline?
All I know is this is very annoying. Please do not tell me it is my ISP or viewer selection, I experience the same issue with the SL viewer as well. And have the same ISP as I had 5 yrs ago with the exception it is faster and stronger now than it was then.
Secondlife is a very good product. The instability cause a lack of luster to a lot of game players. Facebook as boring as it is attracts people for what reason. Ease of use perhaps? Maybe its time to stop all the copy cat waist of time projects that no one uses and is in-house sponsored by only a few department heads that think it is fantastic. For example the Facebook like Profile copy cat thing that less then 10% of users even know about and is a total waist of resources.
If we wanted to follow someone like we do on twitter or face book or leave comments we would go there, Why log into Second life to do what we can already do in real life.
The overall experience in second life is nothing like it was 3 yrs ago or even 4 yrs ago.
No I 'm not ready to abandoned it...yet.. But the frustration level is getting far more intolerable than it ever has, For me to come here and post my personal feelings means there are others just as frustrated over the toys of personal interests superseding the common sense use of the average players.
There is by far no reason Second life is not a much larger success than it is at this very moment.

Why do you have to be so condescending and arrogant in your comments? Is it a cover up for your lack of intellectual input on the subject that you feel the need to try and discredit others by attempting to place yourself above them with your silly comments? What if their sole existence in SL is this game? It 's their choice. Is it not? The mere fact they wish or wish not to seek legal representation is their business.
After all Second Life is advertised a virtual world built by its residents.
If a persons world is a game? That they log into to play. Is that not their world and a part of what Second Life stands for?
Your arrogance in your condescending remarks toward others is sad.
Do you log into SL just to post comments on Blogs or Forums? With 2076 posts I can't imagine you have time for anything else.
Sorry, I am not trying to upset you or make you feel less of a person but I just don't understand people who act like this.
-
It amazes me that the ones who are here to only agitate and have no constructive input quickly jump to other's typographical errors and grammar as a way of proving their point.
-
In order to understand the Physical Human input . First you must know how the game is played or at least read the Notecards that layout the games instructions. Which also happen to explain how the skill is more than clicking numbers and sitting in a chair. There is a mental aspect to the game, How you play the critical situations determine the games outcome, This is where Knowledge & Experience play a part in the Human input.
What I find amusing is not so much if the game is legal or not ,as It is to my opinion that nearly all games in SL are not legal depending on how one looks at them. This thread was created to view opinions on why LL takes so long to make decisions that concern the local economy. It also was created for the fact that a choice few can make claims that affect so many without any type of resolution. This game has a huge impact for some when this is thrown into the mix. One would think LL before jumping the gun would at least inspect items before shutting them down removing and sending letters of warning.
This is what this thread is about.
Far to many times I have seen instances where something was clear cut & dry a violation of TOS. Days if not weeks pass and sometimes the problem is never resolved.
I moved from a sim where a neighbor clearly used all the regions resources. I had been in this sim with a business for nearly 2 years when they moved there. After over 30 AR's and god knows how many tickets I finally gave up and lowered the land price so low someone's bot bought the land. Took a huge loss on it and moved my business. This problem went on unanswered by LL for more than 3 months when I gave up. To this day. This resident still uses all the regions resources and I have been moved from there for more than 8 months.
There seems to be some partiality when it comes to some resident's that no matter how many AR's are filed nothing is done. It seems to me that regardless of what you can prove a few prudes or a minority group will always prevail.
In this case I think this was a setup due to the circumstances surrounding what has taken place. Hence the Envious.
I would never dispute LL's decision on whether or not the game is legal or not. We would just like to have a decision. For those of us who own game rooms or clubs if we can no longer use it then we want to clear the space and replace it with something we can.
This is and does have an economical impact on the business owners and one would think LL would try to give us a rapid response.
-
We all understand LL will not contact us on the creators situation. We all know filing personal tickets will not get us an answer of any type. This is not what we are asking for. Byngo is just the object that has stemmed the issue of lack of timely response by LL.
I know from personal experience. Sometimes it takes weeks to get action on a situation. I have even had ticket closed that were never answered concerning Parcel Issues. Never answered. It happens far to often.
To be fair, I will say I have had some land tickets that were answered within hours.
I have had cases where I was able to get a live linden to come look at a situation.
I have had them to come to a Parcel and inspect and ok certain activities. More specifically when the Adult Land merger took place. There was a lot of questions on what could be done on Moderate regions. I personal was able to get a response and get it in a timely manner.
But as of late the response time has been horrendous. 3 or 4 weeks on an AR for a shouting object emitting unwanted spam and 8 AR's is far to much time to act. Especially when the abuse that was reported is effecting a business.
Business be it LL or a resident is what keeps this economy running. The two go hand in hand. One must compliment the other for it to succeed. For one to stall or pull against the other means one will fail. If the two are required to succeed then the ultimate end is dismal.
We are pushing more for a speedy responce to an answer to this issue that concerns all business and sim owners that use this Object as a means of revenue.
This is not so much the legality of the game and we will abide by LL's decision. Either way. We just need a decision so we as owners of business's can move forward.
We could I guess just give up and it will ultimately go by the wayside but is this a good practice on the part of LL?
How many more times will we be against this very same situation? In Limbo. Is the slow response time a good business practice by LL to all who invest, provide Jobs and revenue that keep the economy alive in SL? How long before many more give up and leave. I have seen already so many leave. Fantastic creators that just gave up due to lack of support.
Business owners need a direct pipeline to a Linden Ear.
-
But isnt' it odd they single out the ones that produce the most revenue or the most popular?
Correction. Its not singled out. i can not say that.
But i do find it suspecious that the one that is most poplular and produces the most revenue is the one that gets taken down whether it be by LL or the creator turning off his server in an effort to save his avitar from being banned from SL.
-
Your trying to make this personal between you and I and it isn't.
Thats the whole point now.
I am not going to get drawn into your lack of maturity.
Have a wonderful SL.
-
Wow.. How insulting you are.
Thank you for your enlightenment
Who said anything about trying rally 50.000 people behind me and shut down SL. I certainly did not. But i can take the $6,000 dollars i spend and the $65,000 in employee revenues i generate each year and go to one of the other sites.
No need to be so paranoid about this. No one is trying to shut down LL or insinuate anything remotely resembling that.
The crux of the issue is it takes for ever to get an answer and when hundreds if not thousands of lindens are at stake there should be some priority.
That's all we are asking. A answer.. Just like in the case where redzone was removed. I think it was a dumb decisions but i am entitled to my Opinion. It was removed.
Just think it is crazy to single out this one game when so many others are more of a gambling risk. Why not just remove them all. Do a check on search for games or gaming visit the sights and then tell me there is not gambling in SL.
We just do not understand why it has taken a week to say go or no go.
-
I agree 100% and it has gotten worse in the last 2 yrs.
-
I do have one final comment / question..... When did the TOS supersede the First Amendment? Since we are all so concerned about possible online gambling laws. After all I am American and I live in America. If the US Online Gambling Laws apply here then why not my first amendment rights guaranteeing freedom of speech?
-
Yea turn them back on and risk a 3rd to be reported and returned and his avi banned from SL.. that a real smart move. Just proves to me he is no fool. You would like for him to do this wouldn't you?
-
I created this thread and it drew attention LL. Removing what is written will never change what people think. You can remove posts after all it is your game and your rules even if you do change them to suit you. I don't think it is fair as this is a discussion not a place for you to reason or control free speech..... Yes free speech. You created this avenue of free speech but you censor it. What law is violated there? Since everyone is so hung up on US law concerning this game. Why the censorship of free speech?
-
Cinnamon Lohner.... you have no clue what your talking about.... i didnt buy into anything and there is no money owed to me for anything. I am an owner and it was a very popular game. Your comment and response leaves me to questions your motives for even commenting. Especially with what you had to say. Your right this is a Tos Issue. The fact they violate thier very own TOS. Maybe you should read it sometime and become familar with it.

Sounds more to me like the subcontractor to the subcontractor just got screwed.

That should work just as good as the Adult confirmation LL uses when you sign up for SL

Basic Functions and their consequences
in Second Life Server
Posted
Linden Lab or Linden Labs.
I think everyone would agree we all know who the OP was talking about.
Playing foolish games such as discounting a resident's complaint due to a spelling or mispellings is one reason why the overal numbers online has fallen so drastically.
Its just such an attitude from those at Linden LAB that cause people to say "Whats the use?" I log in, I crash. Nothing works correctly. Why bother?
But "HEY!! I can use display names to copy cat other well know avatars and cause all kinds of grief for them on the grid". "So maybe I will try to log in one more time." (Just one of the waisted resources that I can think of.)
I found that the OP did give some details. Most Specifically The BlueDog ( BlueSteel) Server. Or did I read that in there mistakenly? With the Lab/Labs controversy I think I must read it again to be certain. I for one have seen this issue many times and most significantly on the bluesteel server. With this being said. The operating system of the user is an insignificant detail and it is highly unlikely a mojority are running the same or even similar systems.
One would think the Shill's of Linden Lab/Labs would have more to say in the forums that is constructive. Instead they take the attitude of a jesture that most of the long time resident have determined to be the norm.
