  1. Right, I forgot about that. It's the same excuse LL uses, as a matter of fact. Very true. Here's hoping that law passes to nullify the DMCA from abandoned software.
  2. I have to wonder if LL would get involved and do something if they actually do shut off the servers and render all those bodies useless. That'll be a lot of customers left in the cold.
  3. Agreed. Likely people will use alts to get that little bit extra without increasing their tier level. Same as always.
  4. Check in world- I didn't see a change on the web, but when I logged in, I noticed I could contribute and additional 512 to my group.
  5. Well, now I'm gonna try to get that abandoned land behind my parcel. No tier increase. Woo.
  6. Oh, good. Another word to misuse for that coveted victim status.
  7. Psh. Try being a straight white single man. Riding the hate train to every station these days! And don't even get me started on shopping for clothes in SL.
  8. Some people have all the luck. I've been trying for years to get random naked people women to show up at my parcel.
  9. Ah, Linden Lab. If something can be screwed up, they'll find a way to do it. WTF good is email support if it's going to be ignored until Live Chat hours anyway?
  10. Ah, yes. The old "It's not my toaster, it's the servers! It's just a coincidence that it's not happening to nVidia users!" Gotta see them system specs, people.
  11. I can second that motion for EVGA- good prices, warranties, construction... They're the way to go.
  12. The FBI and the KGB turned FSB DDOS stuff on the DL but IDK what it has to do with SL. AFAIK, anybody can DDOS anything! Yes, it's just SSDD. WTF, man.
  13. Funny story. Years ago, back before Activision bought out Blizzard, they used to give compensation for server downtime., when WoW was down. And in those early days, it often was. I don't think I've ever seen any other online service do that, though.
  14. I suspect they use a bot, or bots, to buy up the land, then go back and set them for resale by hand later. Also, LL seems very inconsistent about land they set for sale directly and put for auction, in my experience. Probably depends on which agent reads the ticket.
  15. That's just some resident. LL doesn't sell land like that.
  16. This is why I always use my own scripts and web servers. Never rely on other people!
  17. I leave rez and scripts enabled on all my parcels, and never have problems with griefers. Overblown fear.
  18. I miss creators that wrote their own scripts.
  19. I can get a virtual server to host very similar games as SL, for as little as 10 or 15 USD a month, and those companies are very profitable because of the bulk of customers they have. LL wouldn't lose money by lowering prices unless they did something that also cost them customers. Lower prices and make it more appealing to rent, and profits will skyrocket. This is probably the biggest issue with premium land, really. There's no price point between "not enough" and "way too much, I'll go play another game instead".
  20. I use a few different viewers based on what I'm going and if I'm on one of my bots or not.
