Being one of the silent ones who just goes about my business, I have to say I regard announcements like this with the feeling that things are going further down the tubes. I'm here to interact with people. A city street scene bustling with non-interactive zombies might be thrilling the first time or two and then worse than an empty sim because a constant reminder of how empty in general all SL now is. No doubt the unpopular ballrooms will be populated 24/7 by elegant couples, the stages of the strip clubs with the most enticing but brain-dead dancers, and the art galleries by wraiths bobbing their heads at the walls. How about a special membership level for those who just want to watch the show without being able to interact...an invisible voyeur avie capable of tping sim to sim but unable to interact, pose, IM, or otherwise engage more than the camera...totally engrossed in the visual feast arrayed before them. Kind of like a colorized silent film. I'm with many of the others. Give us a viewer that works and some sense of the strategic, not just a host of new features, some of them trivial or laughable, others potentially catastrophic. And by the way, despite my "new resident" tag, I've been here in this avie 4 1/2 years so I have some sense of what goes on.
