Sansar Has a Feature Request Portal That Could Use Much More Use

Hey look Linden Lab has a feature request portal for Sansar where users can not only submit product updates they'd like to see, but discuss them and vote on them too. If you sort the current requests by maximum number of votes, you get perfectly sensible features that would be good for growing retention -- see above. Not sure if building bald heads or buoyancy should be an immediate priority, but the others seem solid.

Most notable thing about the protal, however, is how few Sansar users are using it -- roughly a dozen among the thousands who've already gained access to Sansar. So if you're one of them, consider giving the portal some features or at least some votes.

Link via the Sansar News Blog, which mentions it amid an update on upcoming features for Sansar, which so far has been slow going:

Linden Lab is fielding so many different requests from so many different corners: Mac users really want a Mac client, Windows MR headset users desire a Windows MR client, Paypal users are demanding the ability to use Paypal, etc. That’s why I wanted to highlight something that Ebbe said on the official Sansar Discord channel, in response to a long and wandering conversation about credit cards vs. Paypal: PayPal will happen some day. It’s on the list of things. Please be patient while we focus more on retention and engagement of those who can participate before we expand to enable more people to participate. Whether that is additional platforms like Mac or Windows MR devices or other payment options etc. In other words, Ebbe wants to go deeper before he goes wider.

Much more here.

Interesting, the most voted are from many months ago, even 1 year. Look at how much LL cared of them. Did LL do a simple thing as adding numbers on the Atlas after 1 year? And that was the most voted feature request. Are them afraid to show zero avatars almost everywhere perhaps? But if they want to make Sansar social, they should at least help people to meet other people. Among the request there was a progress bar request too (to be displayed if something takes more than 30 seconds), which would be easy to implement, at least in the loading screen, and would have been useful for people with slower connections and to prevent them to think their client froze during the long download times. That request was from 6 months ago, before the first public release. Cara did read it and answered. LL then released Sansar, still not implementing the progress bar, leaving their new costumers confused and getting even more disappointment. Did LL hurried to add it then? Nope. It doesn't look like LL is caring much of those feedbacks so far.

ROFL, literally the only valid request in the list above is showing how many avatars are in an experience. All the rest are DUMB, at this stage. Take note that ANIMATION is not on that list. That tells you the morons voting on these. Pretty much, every serious developer wants and needs animation before LL does anything else at all. It's ridiculous that Sansar doesn't have an animation system yet. If LL doesn't start taking animation seriously in Sansar, it, Sansar, will just become a HUGE time waster and money pit.
