    As many stuff the Lab did it started with good intentions, but then they got carried away and forgot why they even started it.

    Convincing users to stay or even upgrade to premium requires trust - trust that won't be there when the new users realize the new outfit they just invested in is for a body not supported by the majority of content creators. Even if they won't buy anything because a well meaning resident warned them in time ... trust will be lost anyways. Many will interpret this as an attempt to take advantage of their ignorance. Many free to play browser games try that - how would new users consider LL to be different?

    So now instead of the new user retention aid it was intended to be, NUX has developed into a machinery that erodes new users' trust into LindenLab,... I'm pretty sure it will not work as intended if LL continues down that path.

    This. I agree.

    I'm a little worried that all of the people that have gotten passports so far won't know to go to another group to get the info.... it doesn't look like you can change a group name either. I'll submit a ticket to see if it's possible and let you guys know what I find out! 

    Good luck! Then recreate the Operation Mainland group maybe after they fix the other group for you

    I made all of the changes you suggested - I added some more highlighted details to the website and added a link to the written versions of the instructions as well as the video! :) This whole thing is suppose to be EASY - thanks for helping me make it that way.

    And.. I mean... if you need some mainland, I can totally scout out some parcels for you. XD I'm getting pretty good at these days with all the Abandoned Land I'm hunting down! haha

    @Feorie Frimon I'm 10000% all for Mainland as you know...but perhaps for clarity, a separate group and website  for the Forever Tourist Passport game, would be a good idea? ...to help people understand that it's for ALL Second Life not just Mainland exploration. (And you can link the Operation  Mainland site from there too!)

    How does that work with the HUD? Unfortunately, I don't understand everything in English 😞

     

     

    I think you:

    1. wear the HUD.

    2. There should be a seperate, website or at least a list published at the Operation Mainland Headquarters, with locations that have the kiosks.

    3. You go to the location, find the kiosk, and while wearing the HUD, register that you were there, in exchange for having a "stamp" appear on your HUD.

    The huds seem to work very well. I made my own logo from their template and am all set up.  I couldn't actually find any INSTRUCTIONS for setting up the kiosks but since I had been in lots of RFL events I figured it out pretty easily. Might be good to add some instructions about what to leave in and what to take out of the kiosks though -- for newish folks. 

     

    Looking forward to some adventuring. 

    oooh @Feorie Frimon

    The BBB does allow mainland locations, as long as they're not commercial. But this one looks interesting as well, going to look into it soon :)

    Yes! But no one else who are not Bellisseria residents, and might only own mainland,  rent mainland, rent private, or just have private regions can't get the Passport HUDs as I understand? But yes isn't this wonderful? =D

  7. I believe the BBB from Bellisseria also allowed Mainland or other spots- I think I've seen some spots in there- but I could be wrong....still this is a great enrichment and the more passport games the merrier!!!

     

    Okay - Update: the BBB only offers passports to those who have a Bellisseria home- so this is definitely needed, a universal SL game for ALL of SL residents! =D

    Usually slightly pitched above the head, a short distance from my avatar. cangle.png.9cd7a4f3e8bde0b74a351a562cc892bd.png

     

    When I am exploring an area, and just want to soak in all of the environment I typically move my camera to the left of my avatar, it makes walking a little more difficult but the view is so much better in my opinion because my avatar is out of the way. I would use mouselook, but I enjoy seeing what is around my avatar.

    When driving, I usually have the cam zoomed out pretty far - unless I can use mouselook.  I prefer mouselook when on my wearable vehicles, as it works pretty well, that and my houseboat which has large windows and moves along slowly 🥰

    This is one of my smaller avatars, I usually use while fishing.  I have a HUD I typically use to store all of the camera positions as well as adjustments I need to use, although as posted above Firestorm now has presets which do the same thing now, which is great. 

    Oooh driving's another perspective too! Depending on what I want to do, I'll be up close like I am while sailing or further up up to the point that I see the whole car too, if I wanted to see more or just be better navigating

     

    The pics look great!

    And I have never played another game that has the camera close and over the shoulder view. I have read that those who are used to this angle, changes the default SL camera so it is familiar to them. But I came to SL as a game virgin, heck, even an internet virgin.

    Aww

    Oh, and I also play SL too...and before SL I never really played games. And up to now don't play anything else really.

    Awww.

    By the way, I also only really play SL- my big expensive rig I got specifically for SL, haha.

    For me its so I can see things closer, when I do my cameras

    I use the camera presets that I set up the way I like.  You can change those and save them as your own defaults.  I have front, rear and one for horseback riding.

    I love how close up your av is! Very immersive no?

     

    I have struggled with the Firestorm presets xD - how do you do your camera settings in Firestorm? I need like  a walk through video maybe hahaha. Meantime I use a $10L HUD

    I use a SpaceNavigator and have since 2012. Frankly, I don't like to be on Second Life without it! They call it a 3D mouse, but it's like a miniature joystick. This makes editing so much easier, but it also means I can cam in very close and quickly on anything so hunts are easier, too!

    Closer to your av is better right? Versus the default which is a bit further up of a view from the environment

  13. How close do you play? Show us how close do you like to view your day to day SL. 

    I do use a third party camera HUD for this. For me, this is how close I play (pics below). Most times its close enough to see up close the details of my hair and my jeans (first pic), with almost all my body in view but close up- this is how I am walking around or sailing.  Other times it's even closer, some times over the shoulder or far off to the side but literally right by my avatar. When I'm horse back riding I am on my horse but my camera is usually angled so that its over the shoulder of my avatar and all I see is the horse's head.  I usually don't do mouselook but mouselook is also amazingly immersive and some times undervalued.

    What's your angle of your world like?

    I was unable to log in for 5 days and when I logged in I noticed that his profile was empty and it says :"This name is unavailable"

    If anyone knows of any alts he may have or contact info outside SL I would appreciate the help. When I say outside SL I mean facebook etc.

    Welcome to the forums ❤️ There are a mix of kind and unkind people as you can see. Most luckily kind, don't let the unkind folks get to you. I hope that you find him! Shylo's recommendation is also a good idea
