My Mood: | Like I was told if you want LL to know your complaints make a ticket with summary as Supervisor Attention. Then say our complaints about what's going on in the ticket That's better then not saying anything to them. according to the blog this is going to be happening for the next few weeks (or more knowing LL) If they feel it was successful and not many people complain about it to them, they may do it all of the time during peak times. As a cheap way to get around the "problem" instead of having to spend money to buy good equipment. |

but maybe if LL expanded their acceptable forms of payment to money orders (for those whose credit is afu) but not checks ( too many would bounce imho) or by wire payment via Western Union or something...I dunno, just a thought. | |

My Mood: | When they made this "temporary" change a few days ago to test it out, it also meant I couldn't ADD people to any groups, as the people finder wouldn't finalize that little process. Excellent. Here's hoping they at least fixed THAT. sigh.

From what I read on the SL forums, it sounded like buying more servers and more bandwidth would solve these problems! If we are having these things happen - including taking away all these group things that businesses need - just so they don't have to buy enough servers or whatever - I mean, that is CRAZY! What is crazy, if this is the case, is that we are still here! It would be like (ya knows I loves me some analogies) going to a restaurant and ordering the steak dinner that comes with salad, and getting it without the salad. Then they say, "I'm sorry, we don't want to spend the money for the lettuce right now, so salads are discontinued until we feel like buying lettuce. The price remains the same, though, salad or no salad." (While, by the way, they are giving away the whole steak dinner to other people, and saying that since they don't mind no salad, we shouldn't!) (And while, by the way, they are spending the money they get from us on painting a new mural in the kitchen, instead of buying the food we pay for!) coco

My Mood: | Allow me to play devils advocate. I just logged on, and it might be a little bit late, but from what I can see the grid seems much more workable than the past few days. I don't think it's fair to be angry at linden labs for disabling group and profile data being sent to the viewer. I think they've finally identified what is killing the grid the past few weekends. So now they're disabling it so the grid can remain up and workable (besides profile data and group data). Now that it's identified as a problem, this gives them the opportunity to make improvements on groups (more of them perhaps?), and profiles. I think I can live without group data and profiles during peak hours, because if I anyone wants to talk to me, they know where to find me. -Neo |

| Has Vanished ![]() ![]() | Quote: Your recent action to limit the usability of profiles and group chat had better be very temporary. As a business owner, what if one of my products fails to deliver, as it almost certainly will due to the asset server issues recently? Without being able to load the profile of a customer, I am unable to provide customer service. Perhaps I could IM them in order to ask them to meet me at my store, so that I could drag the item directly to them? No, that option is not available either. In fact, my customers can't even reach me if they need my attention or have a failed delivery. This is all well and good if this period of non-function only lasts about an hour, or two hours. I am voicing my opinion now, however, to say that this is not going to be a good plan to fall back on any time that there are issues. As a content creator, I don't have to tell you that we are one of the reasons this world works, and why people come back and stay and deal with all of the shenanigans. And you are seriously decreasing our consumer confidence in you. By taking away our ability to communicate with our customers, through group AND IM, it seems like you're deliberately picking on us, almost. Please consider, instead of limiting profiles, limiting log-ins to premium accounts or payment info on file accounts. This would allow your actual customers, the people who have paid to use your service, access to a more stable grid when there are stability issues. Basic accounts without payment info tend to be camping bots, or people who have not been members long enough to have anything seriously invested in-world. Please consider this alternative to cutting the legs out from under content creators and other business people. I suggest other folks do the same, let them know this makes us pissy Maybe so...but there ARE a few people out there who don't have payment info on file, but yet contribute something by working inworld to earn the L$ to buy the things content creators such as you, Siyu, create? as much as I'd love to see the bots gone, It would be a little unfair to those who can't have payment info on file due to credit or personal reasons. |

| Surely they didn't think this through? Profiles aren't just pretty portraits and "about me" stuff. Without profiles:
This is *not* a workable solution. |

| New, highly scalable SL client has just been released. You can get the new version 1.20 (only for PCs) now and be up and running in a few minutes. Teleports aren't broken, group chat enabled, minimum graphics requirements are severely reduced, and no shoes up your arse, ever. All the cool kids are on SL 1.20. |

| This is insane, insane, insane, insane, insane. In a place where insanity is the rule, this actually takes the CAKE for insanity. I don't see how we can POSSIBLY continue to do commerce in a world where people can't get ahold of us, and have to wait until a time when they can. I don't see why anybody will continue to BUY anything when they can't contact the merchant when something goes wrong, and have to wait until LL says they can. I mean, what kind of insanity is this? As for "temporary," my foot! This sounds like their new plan for whenever there are "too many people" on line, which is frickin most of the time. I'm not going to tier down at this point. However, I think I will take my money out of Linden credit, where it sits for paying for future tier. I wonder, though, is this safe to do now? I'm also considering, reluctantly, selling my land on Azure Islands. And then - if I get that far - I will consider tiering down my shop, when in fact, I was saving in order to tier up. Really, how many slaps in the face with a wet fish does it take before I realize this whole ball game is falling apart at the seams, and will likely never get any better? coco P.S. If they want to get rid of us - and by us, I mean tier-payers, shop owners, and owners of websites like SLU - why don't they just come out and say so, instead of this insulting death by a thousand cuts. I hate to say it, but I really, really do think that all they care about is corporations and free accounts to look at their ads. |

I have a bad feeling that they did think this through, and were running tests on grid capacity while disabling different functions. I was having problems with profiles in exactly this way (on and off) before the grid went bork up on the weekend. Could they have been trying to decide which functions to live without when the grid was struggling under a heavy load? ![]() ??
