Okay, so I have a huge inventory of clothes, shoes, and other assorted items. That comes from being a shopaholic. Some people can sympathize. The unfortunate part about this large inventory is that this represents a a rather large personal investment, which I don’t really like to think about. Not only for the cost of that inventory, but the amount of time I put into acquiring it and “organizing” it. Reading about inventory loss in the Official Linden Blog sent a shiver down my spine. Removing your inventory by setting it to the default, sounds rather horrific. I think if I logged in and found my inventory missing in would probably have a nervous breakdown (well maybe not, but I’d definitely start throwing things)….

I’m even more astounded to read from Lordfly’s blog that Linden Labs does not backup your inventory. A substantial amount of my objects in my inventory are no copy, which prevents me from making a backup. But let’s just say I could make copies of my inventory objects and put them into a container and store them in a running sim. Look what happened to the Blue Note. A database crash fried the running plot of land and Linden Labs response was, should have had a copy of what you needed in… drum role… your inventory…. It seems to be a catch-22.

Linden Lab’s is going to try to defend themselves with some boiler plate terms of service, etc ad nauseum, that they are not responsible for the database. I don’t think that will work, you cannot have it both ways. It is inexcusable. My inventory has a comparatively small value, wait until someone’s inventory with a high value gets fried and cannot be recovered - send in the lawyers….
