Further back in the thread, someone quoted the Covenant for the new areas. It included setting to group as prohibited. It seems that has since been changed - good.

And for those of us with no desire to have to plug avatar/account names into an on-site security system instead of using a bloody group, set to the parcel, as our method of security/gatekeeping. Set, not deeded. Sorry, not allowing a parcel to be set to a group is ridiculous.

The System Requirements page is quite out of date, as anyone could have told you. They're still listing the GeForce 9xxx and 2xx series as "Reccomended" for cripe sake .... But then, you only ever listen to yourself.

You mean going back to a "Free" account - there are no "Guest" accounts. And no, you wouldn't be blocked if you decided to drop the Premium, just be sure that if you nabbed any Mainland to release it before downgrading. Same with a Linden Home.

Possibly.

No.

Very, it would seem. When not in an Anthropomorphic form, I tend to be around that height range in Second Life, sometimes actually a tiny bit shorter! Most of my Anthro types are in the upper six foot to seven foot range, species depending. I think the only exceptions are my femmy felines!

@MiakisTheUsagi For some reason, I get a Horizon Zero Dawn feeling from that image.

So six foot four then .... Yeah, that's a tall door.

How tall is you avatar again, Blush? The scale in that second shot is what I might expect of someone close to my own Real Life height (five foot, even).

Part of that is due to such systems breaking add-ons.

They already had their crackdown on Gambling. Ah yes, the newer laws that are nothing more than knee-jerk reactions to a "problem" that could have been handled quite differently .... Linden Lab has their own lawyers - they'll consult them before listening to a general user.

And people wonder why I so dislike automated update systems ... Sorry, badly coded automated update systems.

Well, I did a bit of work since last time I posted in here and finally got around to replacing the Mesh body I had been using for my more Humanoid avatars .... Just need a better head and/or skins for certain things .... I don't have a picture of the other setup at this time (it uses the default skin for the Lightstar head I am using) so here's the Dark Elf skinned variation - it's a Kitsune. Erm, also the eyes are pointing straight forward in that shot. Also: Cripes, some of the mesh head options out there cost about as much as a month's rent of a 4096!

Color perception aside ... about the only part of that that is actually believable concerns the FPS rate. I've met people for whom anything beyond 60 causes nausea so it's not too difficult to believe there are those who can see that sort of difference.

Good luck - you'll need it (and a handy bottle of Excedrin).

Blush, seriously ... you're responding to a brick wall.

@LittleMe Jewell Honestly its better to do a custom build when you can (time, patience and cost factored in) so that you can be certain what you end up with will not only run Second Life (and whatever other programs you intend to use) well but so that you've got a bit of wiggle room as newer technology hits the market.

Boy I really hit a nerve, didn't I? Nothing has changed, back into the bin you go. Oh and just to address a singular point: This isn't a support forum. That's over in the Answers section. This is General Tech Discussion, your quoted thread is in another general purpose section: Second Life Viewer. That you don't understand the difference speaks volumes.

That is partly because of that one's steadfast resolution to only use off-the-shelf, store bought computers.

No, they don't. Not on something the size of the average PC monitor - they just don't. There's a reason I don't bother reacting or responding to you in general these days, Cykar - nowhere did I say innovations should not be made. In the future respond to what is present, not what you imagine was being said. Improve the hardware's capabilities but be realistic in the application. You know, that thing you ignore when trying to answer users who ask about their hardware specifications: The average user doesn't care if a given hardware set is capable of starting the client program, they care about it being able to meet their expectations of a "decent" experience which often means being capable of more than 15 - 20 FPS (closer to 40 - 60) out of the box or with minimal fuss, in most situations.

Welcome to Second Life. No, there isn't. Worry about something a bit more important.

@Blush Bravin That is normal for that particular user - anyone who disagrees is always wrong and/or part of some (often long gone) group that is out to get them ....

Adding to earlier ... I'm back at the preview right now to examine a few houses and house boats I'd not looked at last night and I have to say: There's at least one or two House Boat styles I like and really only one House style I like in the preview. The latter of those has a nice second floor balcony I could use! Erm, so yes ... Don't mind the Kitsune wandering around! I don't bite, promise!

The new houses ... too small? Seriously? You're joking, right? Please tell me you're joking .... I normally don't comment on another's size choice but really, unless you're a bloody giant, these houses are a wee mite big. Doubly so for some of the house boats. The bulk of my avatar forms look small inside one of these things - and none of them are straight up Human! Heaven forbid I assume one of my smaller, critter forms!
