    The Shape of this Virtual World

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    On the map, SL seems to be flat. But the behavior of the sun seem different. On a region, it may be night time with the sun position under the region. But when you tp to a different region, it could be daytime. I believe the sun moves across regions along a longitude. So when you are on different longitude, you experience different daylight time.

    What Would You Like to Remove From Second Life Permanently?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted · Edited by Nae Mayo

    I post this without reading all 5 pages of replies. Sorry if it is repeated.

    1) Privacy screen from ground up till 500m. Because it destroy our SL experience.

    2) Security orb from ground up till 500m. Because it causes lots of plane crashes in SL by removing the pilot from the craft.

    There is no such thing as privacy in SL. Live with it or go hide somewhere in the sky.

    Second Life Radio stations or Club feeds?

    I'm going to be that person...

    If you like the music at a club or social hangout and so you copy the stream and take it home to your parcel then the club never gets the benefit of your hanging out with them, traffic, etc.

    It's kinda impolite and kinda hard on them. I don't think most of them are actually paying to put that stream there - but if they are (if it's actually their own music or their own playlist) then you're really hurting them.

    If I wanted to listen to a club's music - I'd park an avatar in it. Even an AFK one.

    Otherwise I'd grab radio streams for my home parcel - those guys are usually making me suffer adverts as a way for them to get paid for putting up the URL.

     

    I usually prefer to copy the url to my land radio. A busy club might crash my SL viewer running on my old laptop.

    Yes, please! I meanwhile updated this map showing railways on Mainland+Bellisseria. As before, yellow indicates existing tracks and red shows possible / sought / likely connections.

    Is there any train service that runs through those tracks?

    Why Would Anyone Abandon Land on Zindra?

    in Mainland

    Posted

    I did, back in 2010.

    I owned an almost full sim at the corner of Zindra while paying full sim tier. The parcel has 2 sides facing the sea that you can't sail to anywhere. 

    I lost my job in RL, in debt and can't pay the next tier. But manage to keep my premium account and an old LH. I never login after this as I could afford to buy a new gaming PC.

    Attracted by the new LH theme in Bellisseria, I came back last year. And I realize I don't really need an Adult rated land. Moderate will do. SL Viewer has improved a lot. I don't need a gaming PC to run it with good graphic without lag.

    WHY Linden Homes Prims So high?

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    For LH, you are given a parcel with amount of prim count in proportion to the parcel size you own. Your linden home is not counted to the prim you own, which is why Linden Homes are so attractive. The only disadvantage is the type of house is restricted to the few option available.

    SL does offer land that has double prim and you are free to use any house you want. Those land are in Bay City, Nautilus City and Zindra (Adult land).

    Houseboats - Square vs Rectangle

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    Most housboat parcels are rectangle with neighbors pack so close to each other that you can laterally jump from one boat to another. I prefer square ones with more spaces between neighbors.  

    Locations are also important. You are lucky if you can get a corner parcel next to a canal or public land.

    At that price why not keep it open to anyone that wants it? Also give it for free to people that have stuck around for 20 years, they surely deserve it. Just my opinion, yours may vary.

    If LL does that it will go bankrupt by the end of the year. 200 Premium lifetime and 20 P.P will be within their budget to celebrate 20 years of SL.

    Premium weekly stipend is 300L$ which is the equivalent of ~ $1.23, that's $64 a year.

    if they give you "lifetime" of something, they still expect to turn profit.Considering the minimal cost of $749, they probably don't expect SL to be still alive in10 years.

    You think to much. The 200 Premium lifetime is really insignificant for them. Just a goodwill offer to celebrate SL20.

    I'm glad to find out about this Lifetime membership offer before it's gone. Luckily the 200 Premium Lifetime offer still available. 

    I have been a Premium member for more than 10 years, even though there was some years I never login.

    A Suggestion on Improving Mainland

    Mainland is still used by many people who pay for Premium accounts and extra tier, so LL would be foolish to risk losing the money they get from these users by disallowing them to use it as they please.

    If there is a need, they will do it. Remember how they force the relocation of adult contents from mainland to Zindra.

    A Suggestion on Improving Mainland

    I recommend that LL "invent" a new type of mainland that has some enforceable covenant rules... for example:  a continent where you cant have floating things above the ground (that are not clearly sim design) until 2000 meters... a continent where orbs have to give a 15 second warning and where planes can fly between 1000M and 1990M as long as the pilot/passengers are not explicitly banned. while we are at it, make a rule that the smallest parcel allowed is 512 sqM, and where there is a fair amount of protected waterways along the shores (so that any one owning partial/full water parcels can access a protected assess to lakes/seas, etc.

    Those who do not want restrictions can continue to live on the original mainland and enjoy the unrestricted creativity that mainland can foster. But those who want some protection that their "new" mainland wont be "trashed" by an inconsiderate neighbor in some of the most basic ways that people have been complaining about in this forum.

    Give people a choice in their mainland... total freedom or some protections. Then they can live in the mainland that works best for their needs.

    While we are at it, please add a feature to "derender all by owner" that basically keeps the viewer from drawing any objects owned by the specified owner. That way people can quickly/easily "block" neighbor views that appear unsightly to them.

    You nailed it. Mainland should have a Covenant and residents should be able to derender objects on some parcels.

    I have left SL for 10 years and came back recently because LL have build a much better 'mainland' that I enjoy - the Linden Homes. It shows that a regulated mainland can be a better place to live in.

    And because I have an extra 1024m2 tier, I tried to use it on the good old mainland. After searching for a while, I give up. Individual who build tall ugly building and privacy screen ruin the expensive coastal parcel. Yes, I can build a skybox. But why would I want to purchase a parcel in a beautiful seaside or hilltop yet end up living in a box?

    LL can sell those abandoned land cheap, but it will end up being abandon again if the ugly mess is not improved. This is why I think a covenant with a ability to derender objects on some parcels will help.

    Are the homes full perm? Can I retexture it? I design HD textures so... I'm kind of picky I guess.

    Linden Homes are all owned by the moles. The house might be placed on your parcel but the root prim is outside your parcel. That means you can't edit it. The good thing with this is that you won't find neighbors with ugly house that spoiled you view. As this is something you have to live with on mainland. And the house won't take up you parcel LI, that's a bonus. But you do has a choice of a few house type, depending on the theme you choose. And you can choose the texture and color of your house from the available tool.

    Trust me, Linden Home is the best low cost option. If you have the $$$, you can try private estate. Mainland is still as messy as it used to be, only slide improvement as you won't see small pieces of 16m2 parcels selling at high price. You can't avoid the ugly partition walls and ugly buildings unless you own at least 1/4 sim.

    Btw, if you are Premium Plus, you can choose your Linden Home. Just TP around to find an unoccupied house you like and submit a support ticket. That's how I got mine near a big pond.
