Why Can’t Second Life Just Work?

I don’t play in other MMORPGs… do they have as many problems as Second Life has? Every time I think SL has turned the corner, it goes wrong. I was actually going to make a post congratulating them on making teleporting reliable, when it started failing on me. I think I have the draft in Blogger…. Losing items you bought, can’t login, etc, ad nasuem. It just goes on and on. Oh, and people being Ruthed left and right last night.

The other day I had a n00b accuse me of Ruthing him. hehehe Ooooh - the powers I hold.

Is it because they don’t have enough money? I’d gladly pay $9 US a month for a much more reliable Second Life.

Oh, and the grid is down right now….. But if it was up, you could use that swanky voice feature. Maybe someone needs to track and publish uptime metrics on them. They would be abysmal. I would be in the 85-90% range at this point.

Is this what the heck is going on with the Grid?

Rumor has is that Linden Labs is trying to fix an old exploit in the grid that is being, well, exploited. And that is what is going on with the current grid instability we have all been feeling for the last week or so. It’s good that LL can fix a security bug within 18 months and keep everyone informed of why the grid is going down the toilet….
