| Well there's a couple things there. We really didn't have any adult content per se and I was already kicked off of the OS grid once for a couple advertising pictures that were barely PG so I'm kinda "eeeh" on OS Grid.
A couple of the regions, like Tortuga and Grunge Town just came out pretty cool and took a lot of work so I may park them in OS just to let people play on them. Kind of like a monument to my failure lol.
I think part of the problem was a common missconception that you HAD to have adult content or be a pixel sex fiend just to play there. I just built a big world and only let adults in. It was never designed strictly to be a sex world.
But with no functioning economy and content creators scared to come play in OS it just kinda sat there empty.
We did have over 100 members at one time and a few region owners but without an economy you can't rent land and without content creators there's nothing to draw new players in.
No economy + no rentable land + no new content = No new player retention.
I tried for months to get an ATM system or in world money but no one ever came through and without money it's basically just an expensive hobby.
Man I wish the OS would start using Fortran scripting language. I can punch a mean hole in a fly card but I never really studied LSL or Mono so I couldn't just do it myself.
