So this is how Linden Labs prefers things. Once more I have recieved a not so polite notice from a Linden (who I will not name because I was told off for naming Lotte on this very blog!). This is really crazy, once more an object I have scripted has hit a bug in the Second Life servers. Yes, it is their bug. Not my script!
Is it my fault if the servers do not function as they should? No!
So why do I recieve threats of bans because of this? Who knows, I have even offered to help fix the servers. Which seemed to hit a raw nerve. Now, I am threatened with a ban because a perfect script has found a bug which can teleport people home without land permissions!
You would have thought Linden Labs would be more receptive to help!
And all this gets me threatened with a ban (which would be permenant because I have no more chances, I am told).
Yet the stoopid emo griefers who persistently break TOS, are allowed to continue.
In truth I am so pissed off that I have spent many years creating content for Second Life, whilst trying to stay on the right side of the TOS. I have recieved a few bans in this time for gray areas. But it would seem the Lindens value worthless griefers over someone who has helped shape SL!
Add this to the fact they now are going to start charging people for listing free items on Xstreet. With thier eyes only seeing L$ signs, they fail to remember just who helped them to get there! Do they really think it was them who made SL such a success? Or even the endless n00b accounts that sign up each day (I would guess as many as 90% are alt accounts)? Of course not. Second Life is appealing because content creators make things people want to see. If the Lindens wanted a game more suited to the childish warfare of the griefers they should have made a competitor to World of Warcraft (which the griefers are probably from, being failed gamers).
Is Second Life worth it? I am afraid I now reserve judgement.
(I own approx. 12 sims worth of mainland – 12 x 195$/m = 2340$/m revenue for LL plus the premium accounts I pay)
I have decided to sell all my land. I will evict all tenants and sell my land really cheap. I will no longer pay Linden Labs for services they fail to give!
If I hadn’t put so much into GRPS I would probably withdraw from SL entirely.
