<p>LL, are you paying ANY attention YET? The tier is putting your customers out of business and YOU out of business with them! Cut the tier by 1/3 and initiate the "Welcome Home" program where people who lost sims can have them back at the new tier with no purchase price - just start paying tier again. You'd have the sim numbers and people numbers jump back up in under a week!</p>Breen Whitman commented on 'Sim Deathwatch: <em>Firefly</em> Roleplay Site Washtown to Close'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0163033c99c2970d2012-03-25T00:58:23Z2012-03-25T00:58:23ZBreen WhitmanIf this is another attempt to crowd fund another sim rescue I will be get very angry.<p>If this is another attempt to crowd fund another sim rescue I will be get very angry.</p>Deep Semaphore commented on 'Sim Deathwatch: <em>Firefly</em> Roleplay Site Washtown to Close'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0167642eff0b970b2012-03-24T18:19:37Z2012-03-24T18:19:37ZDeep Semaphorehttp://deepsemaphore.comI hope Humble reads your blog.

I have absolutely no doubt that Linden Lab's Second Life will not survive if they do not revise their pricing. In fact, right now, I develop SL and opensim worlds in parallel because am 99% sure, my clients will drop the SL version at the drop of a hat. The only attraction for SL personally is the physics engine ...pretty crap but better than opensim's. And for demos, if clients can afford it, I go for SL. But deployment on a large scale happens in OpenSim.</p>Tillery Woodhen commented on 'Sim Deathwatch: <em>Firefly</em> Roleplay Site Washtown to Close'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0168e9276d22970c2012-03-23T20:57:12Z2012-03-23T20:57:12ZTillery Woodhenhttp://www.versevoice.comThere were a few tears when we heard about it.

It's not the first FF sim to close, but since this is the original sim, it's hit us hard.</p>Ann Otoole InSL commented on 'Sim Deathwatch: <em>Firefly</em> Roleplay Site Washtown to Close'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef016764268a4a970b2012-03-23T20:38:08Z2012-03-23T20:38:08ZAnn Otoole InSL@pathfinder now that you revealed that info I predict that open sim venue to be sued into oblivion real soon...<p>@pathfinder now that you revealed that info I predict that open sim venue to be sued into oblivion real soon now. duh.</p>
<p>As for the rest? Yes mesh is killing SL. All the ripped off models pouring in are killing the hobbyists who carried LL for years. Over it. The end of LL will herald the open sim boom time.</p>Pathfinder commented on 'Sim Deathwatch: <em>Firefly</em> Roleplay Site Washtown to Close'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef016303310339970d2012-03-23T19:29:35Z2012-03-23T19:29:35ZPathfinderhttp://about.me/pathfinder@foneco, a few months ago Lani Global gave me a I a great tour of her wonderful Dune RPG area...<p>@foneco, a few months ago Lani Global gave me a I a great tour of her wonderful Dune RPG area on Opensim.

They've already lost the business world. The educators and nonprofits are seeping away.</p>
<p>For all the fashionista angst over mesh doo-dads and the right eyeshadow, I'd wager that there's not enough XXX and play-Barbie customer base out there to keep the Lab open. </p>
