Second Life August metrics: No significant growth

Reader Comments (2)

I'm one of those contributing to the dwindling numbers. SL just doesn't do it for me anymore. Call me jaded, or burnt out, whatever.. To me, SL has just grown too big, become too commercial, and just plain isn't fun anymore. I have a hard time being in there for more than 10 minutes at a time.

Then there's half-finished projects like MONO. Which is great, except you can't compile anything for MONO without an RC viewer which crashes every time I right click on an attached object. (I am sure there are other bugs too.) Or a 3rd party client.

I'm also sick of the lack of communication between teh labz and it's grid residents. But I am sure it's just me. These numbers probably don't mean anything. Someone in the statistical tomfoolery department in teh labz probably misplaced a zero or two this time around.

I have pretty much come to the same conclusion after almost 30 months in world as a heavy user who spent alot.

In the next month or so I will be making a decision if I just sell up my two regions and leave the game.

For me it's the heavy handed attitude to governance and the facist policies on what you can and can't do. SL has not been "your imagination" for almost 18 months now.

And... don't even get me started on lack of communications, Katt Linden was probably the Lab's biggest blunder after Robin herself.

SL is just "Meh" now
