there is no need to think about it.... it is.....

Problem with updating avatars to a higher polycount is that the clothing is mapped on the body.... with more poly's the clothing would al need to be remaped... or would look real ugly and stretched... The sl communitie would go bezerk when they would come online and find out they could throw away there whole wardrobe.... not even to think about al the money that was spend buying it... offcorse they could map the new bodies the same way as the old... but what use would it be.. small textures on high poly objects just dont look good... so every designer would have to re-upload there merchandise with bigger textures. Even if that was possible, and for some that won't cos you can't just upscale a texture, bigger texture means more loading time... I'm not negative about the idea. just don't think it's gonna happen.... to much involved here...
