    Frankly, It's completely irresponsible for an IT person to say "oops!" then expect everything to be okay. That's complete incompetence and whoever was responsible should be severely disciplined or fired. Quite a few of us have spent HOURS setting up our pages on a template that already left a lot to be desired in it's lack of flexibility and poor layout. Add to that the total lack of responsibility taken when a company wastes our time and money is just a tad too much. I've been in SL for ten years and SL has repeatedly refused to take responsibility for issues that occur. It's always the consumer's fault or an "oops!". Not a good way to do business in my opinion. 

    Linden Lab is building a NEW virtual world

      I want to add that whenever news like this is revealed there are tons of "Yaktivists" who do nothing but complain about how the sky is falling.  It's human nature to assume the worse but let's wait and see what happens before we jump to conclusions. I have expressed my main concerns in a previous post here, but I am willing to wait and see before I make any decisions. Overall, SL has to improve technically at some point. It's the way they decide to do it that will make or break them. :)

     I have had a profitable business in Second Life for the past 7 years. I have probably spent over $100K USD in tiers and purchasing items for my business, advertising and other overhead.  Whatever happens, I hope that the powers that be in Second Life will provide a way for me to not lose my inventory of over 100 homes and other products when the new SL arrives.  I hope too, that there will be a way to transfer my merchandise without the total pain of having to reconstruct all the textures, scripts and everything else I bought full perm but am not the "creator" of for each house.  I can tell you from experience that takes FOREVER.   

     Aside from that, SL2 could be a good thing IF tiers are lower, LI is higher and there is actually SOME customer service which seems non-existent at the moment. Taxing sales in return for lower tiers could work if SL doesn't get greedy. The merchants who make a profit have to get paid for their time and if they don't feel the return is worth it, they will go elsewhere. 

     As for the new Sl, it had better be almost perfect before they open it up or people will flock there and then flock right on back.  As a RL business owner I have seen it happen over and over to other businesses. I hope too, that those in charge of Sl finally come to realize that it's NOT a game.  It's a social arena that serves many purposes, financial, social and creative, but we are NOT here to play silly games so stop wasting time creating them like it's going to be the next big "thing". It's not.  Instead, please focus on the business, creative and social aspects of SL. Give us support, we haven't really seen that yet.  In the seven years I have been here, in spite of a very successful business, I still feel invisible.   Skye Varriale 

    Question about Convex Hull etc.

    in Building and Texturing Forum

    Posted

    Hi all, I just got back into building after a few months away.  I currently have a home that is all prims and has a LI of 116. When I convex hull it the LI doesn't drop...any ideas? I am also confused about what can link to what here sculpts and mesh are concerned. IS it best to link all sculpts separately from prims? What about mesh? I know not to link Mesh and Sculpts...is there a simple straightforward tutorial on this somewhere? Skye :)

    Reviews used to harrass merchants?

    I gave a legit review to someone well-known on the marketplace. It was one star because I was greatly disappointed in her product.  It was not abusive or anything. She imed me and ranted for about an hour until I muted her. She also threatened me and then bought one of my products so she could leave an insulting review. So much for maturity and sanity in Second Life. 

    Live life in the 1700's at the Duchy du Coeur

    in Homestead

        The Coeur Duchy is a 15 region area in SL set in the mid-1700's to 1800's France. Despite its name, it is not a French-run enterprise. We have people from all over the world live there. The owners in fact, are American and Canadian.   The intent is to provide  romantic realism in a amazingly beautiful historical setting. Role play is not required. Our citizens simply enjoy the ambiance! We have homes for rent from chateaus to cottages priced for any budget. Many homes come with private carriages, boats, security, radio and other amenities. We have active events and live performances on a regular basis. Visitors are welcome and period dress is optional. We are well established since 2008. We would love to see you there both as a visitor and a resident!

     

    You can start at the Duchy Information Center and go from there...there is a carriage post just outside.
