[Bringing Teens to Second Life’s Main Grid]

Take 40 random Mainland sims on the Main Grid except take away the large swaths of for sale land.

you might even be able to buy 2 seprate 256 meter parcels so you can build a little house or shop or something amonst all the abandoned land (on tg its mostly 0 AR so its covered with junk)and private group only parcels.

tons of fun right there. I cant imgagine why a teen might not want to bother with it.

Responding the the first two words I wrote does not respond to my post

There would be a thriving teen community if they werent restricted to only US teens limited to 40 sims where land prices and L values are the same as MG despite the economy being entirely diffrent.

Multiple Reasons. Teens are on the MG no matter what, seperating them doesnt change much.

Theres no real reason to have a seprate Teen grid when there is PG(general) land on the Main grid. Im sure LL wants to expand and accept more users into SL (screaming about group chat and inventory here is BS LL have made tons of improvements to the server code and much more is planned, clearly they are fixing things) and allowing teens into the "Actual" SL is one way to do that.

If you cant figure out why LL is doing this then just stop trying, please.

Bawww.

@all adult content sellers: Not your playground/funhouse/whatever, its LL Virtual world system and they can do whatever they want with it.

@im going to get arrested because i cant stop myself from saying naughty things in PG land and unsolicited Ims: cry some more.

@anyone who thinks it is a neccasry move that was going to happen no matter what: Glad someone understands.

[Help Us Test the SL Web Viewer Beta]

I already have an opinion on this project and I have already stated it. However I also have an opinion on individuals who scream about things they do not seem to fully comprehend. This BETA viewer project is designed to give people a taste of SL before they actually sign up. Its clear that this is a BETA TEST and they cannot support every person that wishes to use it. the fact that it leads you to the join page instead of saying "Sorry you do not qualify" is because that would make no sense with how they plan to use this. I see them using this as a demo for secondlife, if the cloud servers are full instead of saying some weird message a new user wouldn't understand, it would just show the join page, without them ever knowing what they missed.

Its like you are complaining why a shovel can't correctly chop wood.

 

As for the Second Life grid. I have been a resident for 4.5 years and its my opinion that the SL platform now handles the load it has to deal with much better then it ever has, sure the group chat is annoying but they have already acknowledged that they are going to fix it. Most issues with SL are isolated incidents or complex technical issues. I have lost inventory, money, and land before, and yes I was angry about it but its simply something you have to deal with when you use in devolvement software. Sure there are some problems but constantly screaming about every single thing they do will not change anything, it will simply cause them to ignore it more.

So apparently im trying to censor an incredibly biased and knee-jerk reaction?

Its pretty clear that the point of this "viewer" is for people to try SL before they actually join and its an early beta test of the web viewer concept. They most likely value feedback from the people who will most likely use this type of system more then a person with 6 years in sl and a computer that can run Crysis at 600FPS. That type of person can (should) be able to use the normal viewer without any issues and im sure they have already tested this beta viewer on powerful systems.

The only point I seem to see the complainers making is that no matter what Linden Lab does, despite being their company, is wrong.

Perhaps you should calm down a bit and try again with a diffrent system. I beleive they may be filtering pepole who have "too good" of a comptuer or connection because they want to get feedback for those of us who have junk computers. Most likely the ones who would want to "test drive" SL for the first time.

Tryed a few times and was finally able to get in using IE. As a first impression i am very pleased, i have used SL since 06 so it was a little hard to think like a new user but overall the entire thing ran smoothy. One thing i would have liked is a mini map. thats one thing that really helps me navigate and im sure it helps others also. a readout of the current sim and location would also be helpful. but as a new user tryout veiwer i think it really works much better then i first expected.
