  1. A New Chapter for Mainland: Gaeta 1 Transition & Zindra Expansion - Discussion

    That could cause similar feelings for the people who live next to the now unprotected and built on land. Moving the unfairness to someone else isn't fair either. Protected land is used as a major selling point and reason to charge excessively with land sales. If I had bought land next to protected waterfront I would be as upset at that happening as you are. I fully understand your concerns etc over this, don't misunderstand me. It's not fair. In an ideal (virtual) world, LL would have worked on securing good land for you already, from normally available (i.e. not protected) land. Or they could even find a way to make the unused, existing land more attractive to people instead of killing the continent... imagine that! My personal perspective on it all is that I've never seen anything in SL as permanent, and that's one of the reasons I've never made a big investment here*. It could all be gone tomorrow with no warning, as far as I'm concerned. *The other being lack of RL spending money due to events beyond our control. If things had gone to our original plan, I would probably have have a region or two by now because I would love to be able to do that. But such is life.

  3. Was open source a mistake?

    Don't forget the factor that there may be a difference between what open source is and what certain people think it is. Just like, say, "net neutrality."

    Hopefully it'll be nice hot weather so we can go around after and get a good sniff of everyone's bicycle seats.

    Yeah, point taken. I understand the SL context is different and probably comes with a set of expectations for a lot of people based on the context around us, even if others might see it very differently. I wouldn’t go as far as calling it “being victimized” just by seeing naked avatars on virtual bikes in appropriately rated sims, but of course I can’t speak for your or anyone else’s level of sensitivity.
