The Irony - Loading…
September 24, 2008 10:24 pmMaybe to much, maybe not enough, but that we complain about Second Life is a given fact. We complain about the inventory loss, the downtime, a low framerate, high resolution snapshots not working, … . And if all that is solved, we find other things to complain about: people are to shallow, SL is full of griefers, we don’t like our neighbours, there’s to much sex in-world, or… not enough. Human nature is to always find something to complain about.
But after testing a abundance of other so called ‘virtual worlds’ or part-of-the-metaverse-wannabies, I still have not discovered one that’s actually better than Second Life. Less buggier, more freedom, more options, less heavy, fewer crashes, friendlier folks, more fascinating locations? Nope! So, I guess, for now, we should stop complaining, and make the best out of our Second Lives? No irony here! ;)
Oh, the tons of ‘loading’ prims is a bug actually encountered when trying ‘Just Leap In‘. It took me 2 hours to rezz that pile of ‘loading’ blocks, and the room still did not appear. I gave up for that night!

Erm, you may, or may not, have heard about something that’s “coming soon”: Nurien.
If anything can be real competition to our dearest bit of laggyness, it’s this…
no complaints here - after testing german-based TWINITY i had to say: the same problems (laaaag in crowded places, wide empty spaces with nothing to do on the other side, crashes on a regular basis),
combined with the fact that there are only ugly avatars (and as you can see in my blog postings i am not very ambitious in this field actually)
and no possibility to be creative other than in chatting…
i made a movie to show (follow name-link please).
if i should leave second life, it can only be for real life!
Here is what I dont understand:
People somehow feel they have the right to complain on a site where you don’t have to actually pay for anything, everything is free including the program itself.
Granted, you can pay, but that is completely up to you, and you really don’t get much for doing so.
We can say we don’t like something but to rant at the lindens for doing something we don’t like? Insane, they are doing this on a FREE program.
What is best is the complaints about the silver theme “If they don’t add skins I am quitting” Yet they are still here, and never left even when it was looking like skins were not coming, people make threats about ti and all that, it is one of those “If you don’t like the way something is, learn to build, learn to sculpt, get off your lazy butt and change it!” A user defined community means you don’t have teh right to complain, unless you are able to push everything to it’s limits in SL in every way and are not satisfied.
I am ranting… oops…
Long story short: SL is user defined and free, don’t like iot, change it, see a glich, report it, just grow teh hell up :)
Love ya Vint, peace.
i never found second life so horrible, sure sometimes i complain when things are not going so well or arent that stable but in general sl is a wonderful place to be and things are only getting better (most of the time) i personally, after spending so much time and money on my avie and second life, dont feel like going anywhere. i would just have to restart all over on the new platform anyway and i would lose more then i would gain.
