The texture work particularly has not really dated.</p>

<p>As for its bugs, there have been problems going as far back as the initial development (I've had pics sent to me regarding the old 'prim drift' server bugs that frustrated 'Cali to no end). These are, of course, related to the various changes made to SL itself over time - and the fact that this is (sort of) free.</p>
<p>I think today it should be seen more as a symbol of how much can be done with SL's older features - which were cutting-edge at the time. But I do agree on the rating - as a game. As an environment to behold, I believe it holds its own with other places that get shown here.</p>
