And why did the uptake die off just as quickly? that's when LL started offering free memberships. ...and there went the neighborhood. Land of alts and despicable land trashers came to be the new SL. Sad too, in the beginning there were people that took pride in not only what they owned, but also in their own avatar, and could see the cause and affect of "free" alts in the game. There once was a time when you could afford only one reputation.

LOL if you're too lazy to translate the advise given here, I doubt you'll do well earning L in game. Its sort of like real life, if you want to make money it takes effort and hard work. The secret equation here is: hard work and effort x100=LINDENSx10

Do you think if even one of us totally understood how SL works, we might suddenly and mysteriously disappear from the grid?

Agreed Lahnius, I hope LL will allow or share this feature with the other viewers used in SL. If not I can foresee it having a limited audience if on the SL viewer only.

My grandmother was one of the most lovely women I've ever known, she had a pen pal for decades, another lovely lady, she'd never met, overseas in England. How this came about was this English lady, was one of the children from London that were sent to the country sides by train to avoid the city bombings during the war. They corresponded by cursive all the rest of their lives. There were times my grandmother had incessant insomnia, and the only thing that seemed to relax her was a fresh page of stationary, a good pen, and her pen pal. Pages of cursive across decades of time, celebrations, sadness, the baring of souls in their darkest hours. Upon her death I found the boxes of letters, neatly kept by year, and when i wrote the pen pal of my grandmothers passing and received the most beautiful letter back. The last sentences summed up their entire experience: "My sadness at your grandmothers parting although selfish, means the days of the post man waiving the envelope with your grandmothers strongly elegant handwriting has come full circle. Once I was alone and frightened in a dark and depressing world, and those envelopes once opened held the sunshine of her life in line after line of curling, daring handwriting that made me strong in ways I never knew possible." So perhaps there is more to cursive than we imagine, it may be part of our character that perhaps would be missed otherwise.

If the griefing message is coming from an object (wood doll on shoulder of avi) you can mute it. Mute by object. If the owner has filed AR reports on this person, LL can remove anyone and all of their alts, and with this type of extortion for $100L group fee sounds like a no brainer. If you have or the sim owner has a premium account, get online or over the phone with concierge services and ask point blank why the AR on this individual has been ignored. Be sure you have proof such as who the person(s) are, and copies of open chat. Objects that speak for others such as puppets if you click on the puppets name in chat, it brings up the owners profile. Good luck, LL never in the past would overlook such nefarious behavior, hopefully they still have some backbone to keep the bullying out of a newb gathering area.

Hey Tig, we were all new to SL once, and believe me being new this day in time has to be a challenge. I've been in SL for almost 9 years now and not a day goes by that I don't learn something new about it. My best advice is to ask questions, either here or from those you meet, and every day the game will become easier. Half the fun of SL is learning new things, so welcome to our world, its an awesome adventure. So have a blast and don't worry if you don't know everything in the first week, no one ever does.

Cassandra, call LL customer service, I've had nothing but great success talking to them. Ask why or what is causing your items to be pulled, and if theres a better way to do the direct delivery. Very nice people there that go out of their way to help.

You could be right Qie, but the actions of the Lindens do not show this, nor bring it to proof. It appears they are more interested in the newer player than the old ones, and gem "hunts" on "special" sims for premium accounts is well..what can i say other than very out of touch. The $L seems to be in decline, business's that used to be hot are long gone, yes replaced by others that will be here until they are botted to death. The game has pretty much gone to sex and breedables, i feel no sense of community any longer. There are bright spots, occasionally you find a cute club where everyone is having fun and chatting, omg chatting ! Then the usual drama ensues, or something they can't get past financially or something outrageous the Linden's refuse to get involved in, and its gone. I will say..if you call LL, customer service personnel have ALWAYS gone out of their way to help me. Maybe they are just giving us a free hand in managing it ourselves, and hoping for the best...

I have watched several of their interviews Ceka, they are good, am going to watch this one too. Do you remember all the flap when Jessica and Blue, and a bunch of others were laid off from LL? I think they lost their most devoted and creative staff during that time. I feel awed that they pulled together for this game and stayed, we are the better for it. Thanks for posting the URL for it !

You know it has always been my feelings that anyone that is on the payroll of Linden Labs, should be required to maintain a regular avi, that either has a business or a home as a regular joe blow resident. To play in the game, to create, or try to, to observe thru a residents eyes what the problems are. Hands on in SL with the Lindens has become non existent. So they wonder why the Phoenix/Firestorm viewer is WAYYYY more popular than theirs, well for one they keep open channels of communication with volunteers mind you, in 2 group chats that run around the clock. What is even more amazing is they listen to the residents, help them past hurdles, find bugs fast, and have to fight Linden Labs tooth and nail for any changes they want to make, because lord knows no one can be better than the LL viewer in SL. Now any company with an ounce of common sense, could figure this out, unless you're so stove up in your ivory tower, you will just let them eat cake and be happy.

I have been in SL for a very long time, and have run a business, for over 6 years in SL. The trend has always been, those that can pay and are willing to, for services or products, and the free loaders. The trend for the last few years has been, that SL is a "free" source of entertainment like TV. While i provide small rentals for incredibly cheap prices, we have to constantly beg for rent to be paid on time, or for a tenant to even let us know they have moved on. We have and do take care of our long time customers, and have made sure they can keep their homes, even when RL has dealt them some financial woes. The ones in SL i feel the worse for, are club owners, that have to throw money at residents to even get them in a club. I am sorry, but if i have to pay someone to come and fun, forget it. I have seen full stage entertainment in SL walk away with less than 1K in tips with over 50 ppl attending the concerts or venues. Entertainment needs to organize in SL and make everyone pay to enjoy being entertained in SL. There is really no reason for traffic any longer since the MarketPlace has put most malls out of business. At least entertainers are willing to work for their money, which is more than i can say for 80% of our residents, that hoard around freebie chairs like moths to a light bulb. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy an occasional freebie from a store i have spent money in and stay in their group, its a nice perk for loyal shoppers. So yes goodwill is running thin, of course the entertained that don't tip (freeloaders) are very happy and content in SL, while the entertainers and creators are pulling their hair out trying to make a few bucks to pay for rent and other things they need to put into their businesses to keep the doors open.

Yes SL addiction is quite common..here's some questions you could ask yourself: 1) Has SL caused, or been the cause of a job loss, or demotion? 2) Has SL caused problems in my personal life, have RL relationships ended or been damaged? 3) Has SL caused me health issues ? 4) Has SL been the cause of any financial problems ? 5) Has your life become unmanageable due to SL usage? This is from a famous 12 step program, that can be applied to any type of addiction. Be aware, everyone has them, its how you manage your addictions that counts. One thing I must emphasize, SL is not an E-Harmony web tool. This is the very last place anyone should look for a RL relationship. Way too much can be hidden behind these avi's, and run not walk away from anyone that pushes for RL information, meetings, etc before you feel comfortable. There is no screening, or protection from anyone you socialize with in SL, so with that in mind, have fun, enjoy SL, but don't let it override your RL social structures.

You are exactly in the right place, you have parcels for rent, wording of the headling may however throw others off if they don't read any further. The land listings are tipped heavily in the favor of sales rather than rentals, so actually this is the only place you could advertise your rentals. Hope this helps, have a great day.
