You seem to keep skipping over the "alpha grid" statement that has been repeated over and over again. This is NOT advertised as fullly functional replacement for
SL, and you will not get one as stable or with all the features. If this is your criteria for involvement, then this is quite obviously not the grid for you.
For those of us who missed the early stages of
SL, however, the appeal of OpenLifeGrid is exactly the fact that it is pioneer territory and that we'll be able to watch a new metaverse taking shape. I'm incredibly excited and eager to take part, and just wish I could afford $75/mo for a sim. But unless I completey dissolved my involvement in
SL (which I'm not going to do yet), I can't stretch my play money across two grids.
As for content creation, for many of us the creative process is not tied to making money. This may result in a smaller creative pool, or one with not the full depth of skills that is available in
SL, but I would be very suprised if no one pursued that avenue in OpenLifeGrid. I've seen amazing creativity in all walks of RL where people never even recouped the cost of their creative output, but were driven to do it anyway.
