Second Life rocks. A working prototype for future interactive media. Interesting how we get hyped about things.

Lindens, and LL in general, are complete asses who thrive on peoples addiction to the "game". As a paying "resident" I know for a fact they way overprice their services, their customer service is a disgrace, and they are unfair in their actions regarding abuse reports. Furthermore, I find it interesting that they openly claim that their linden dollars have no monitary value. Just another fine example of how they talk out both sides of their mouth. They make mistakes, but they do not learn

Just one thing sir even i could understand your way: you said you are a "paying" resident, did Lindens push you to do so? no , of course, and even this world is not perfect, it allows us simply to dream of perhaps another virtual world more fair but all evolution need steps and we must accept that nothing is perfect at all. I saw so many projects die with good will but with no reliability... Just fight as you do but never spit on what made you dream....

Of course I was not forced to become a paying resident. I am a paying resident because I have owned a region for 3 years now. Regardless if I choose to have a free membership or to pay for membership is not is not in question. The issue I have is in the way they treat their paying residents in general. In addition, the fact they speak of economy and the exchange between Linden dollars and "real money", which they openly claim (in TOS) their dollar has no monetary value.
