[September Update]

Thank you LL for a nice set of new perks for being Premium. Compared to 2007 (when I rezzed) my SL is remarkably stable, works well most of the time, and when I find something to fix it's usually been on my end. Come to think of it that's better than my work software lol.

It sure would be nice if people kept their posts civil; if SL upsets you so much, maybe you should try a different hobby?

[The Second Life Economy in Q4 2010]

The RL economy has been in the tank for years and it's finally showing up in the SL stats as flat performance; no surprise there. From my perspective, in the last year I have spent less in SL, not because I couldn't spend as much or more than previous years but because I'm finding it hard to appreciate the things creators are making; either things are just re-colors of what I already have or they're over the top insane crazy and fugly! If shop wants better sales they should get innovative and create something new and exciting.

On the usual viewer controversy, I see about 1/2 Phoenix (about to become obsolete) and 1/2 V2 viewers. To each their own.

And I personally own more land now than I did last year; thank you to the "sky is falling" crowd for making land so cheap.

[Back to Basics Technology Improvements]

Reduced lag? You're kidding right? That has to be tongue in cheek! Do yourself a favor and get out of the Linden sims and visit someplace with some traffic and real people doing real things inworld. The crippling mono bug is as potent as ever and anyone who doesn't restart their sim every day or two is wading knee deep in vintage Linden lag. You need less marketing and more fixes for the sims!
