Anything in these deploys address whatever issues that Group Chat has had since shortly after Second Life started? Just asking, I mean, with a 9 year anniversary celebration, you'd think the company would have dealt with this issue. Now you might ask what this has to do with the deployments in the regions, and I submit, that an issue that's been neglected for at least 7 years, and has become "normal" in the mind of Linden Labs, will be assumed to persist and never be verified against the code they are adding to the regions, nor to how it affects the viewers, and if anything that is cpu intensive is exacerbating such neglected issues. A company that makes 80 million dollars in profits, should be able to afford to invest 10% of that on fixing the most dauntingly old issues, as well as roll out their technological prowess of new code and ideas for the virtual world they sell under the banner of "anything is possible." Meet the motto, fix group chat lag once and for all. I mean, i know in a world of constant updates, and where code never seems to be finished but always is subject to another "unimplemented feature" it seems impossible, but, after more than 7 years? Really? So if possible, could the Great and Almighty Linden Labs and its shareholders, who likely aren't even citizens, denizens, of the virtual world they own stock in and profit from, be apprised of the need to repair a most ancient issue? A reasonable person would not think that it's unreasonable to have an issue fixed after 7 years, and may find that 7 years of neglect, while the company is charging money to people and making profits, tantamount to gross negligence as well. Not good for the company who does it. Oh and Oskar, if this is the wrong place to post another repeated call to fix group chat lag, please take a moment to appreciate that it's the perfect place for this one simple reason: You're announcing new things, when the oldest of the old hasn't even been addressed, and that suggests a complete ignoring of the issue. Priorities as they are, it is absolutely necessary and proper to ask if those priorities ever rotate to use "age of the issue" and not just what someone decided the priority is for their job security or advancement. Thank you for hearing me out, and should you move this post elsewhere, please understand it shouldn't be, for if it brings an interest unwanted by the announcement, this should be a sign to Linden Labs that the issue it presents is a very well wanted fix by we who use Second Life and particularly for business.
