So since I'm out of sl, I've been looking at other fun and interesting ways to spend my computer nerdom freetime and got to looking into mmo.
Now I've never been a MMO type or much of a online gamer (Playstation woot!), and I did spend bout 6 hours one time playing WoW with Alex one night and didn't find it to be my thing. . . maybe has to be that the majority of people I couldn't stand in SL were also in WoW :P
A friend told me about Aion and after reading into it and looking at vids on youtube while chatting with Alex, we both have found it really interesting and have discussed joining in. Seems like a cross between sl and WoW.
So I just wanted to get any input from people who play and what they think. Also if maybe throw a trial invitation so we can check it out ;)
In case anyone doesn't know what Aion is about heres some stuffs. . .
To all of you that came out yesterday and joined us for BS's Opening. It was awesome.....We did great with 50-60 people on the sim and no lag issues...can't wait until we are back up to the 100 again.....
All of the welcome back im's and in local truly meant a great deal to me. Again thank you all sooo very much---With a special thank you to Max, Damian, and Pink for making it sooooo special.
Oh and Pink...noticed the same thing by you yesterday....over 65 people and no lag.....maybe sl is getting better. Great show yesterday.
Der Tag war mal wieder ausgesprochen bunt gemixt,erst zog ich zusammen mit meiner Schwester Sunny durch die Gegend,sie hat auch immer wieder neue Ideen was man tun könnte unglaublich,ihre Hobbys sind irgendwelche schräge Contests zu besuchen unnd natürlich mitzumachen und nach guten Konzerten zu suchen oh man lool.Dann erschien Dark im Msn anfangs war es noch recht lustig,aber es kam wie es kommen mußte es endete mal wieder im Disaster,aber ist ja nix neues und so ging ich erst einmal überall offline und raus an die frische Luft,ich hatte keine Lust mir den Tag vermiesen zu lassen.Am Abend kehrte ich dann ins SL zurück und traf als erstes auf Clark mit dem ich über IM über alles mögliche redete,es war wieder extrem lustig,Clark ist auch der einzigste mit dem ich solche Späße machen konnte,irgendwie sind wir dort auf der selben Wellenlänge.Aber wir sind halt nur gute Freunde,erstens hat er ja seine Abelle und zweitens ist mir diese Freundschaft so wie sie ist wichtig,und daran muß sich auch nichts ändern.Gerade als Clark ins offline ging,tauchte jemand anderes noch auf,der verschollen geglaubte Jake loool.Aber irgend etwas war nicht in Ordnung mit ihm,auch wenn er versuchte mir weiß zu machen das alles bestens sei,merkte ich es ja doch das etwas nicht stimmte.Er war anders als sonst,nicht so fröhlich und sehr pessimistisch.Ich fragte mich wirklich was da passiert sei,aber es war nichts heraus zu bekommen,er verschloß sich wieder hinter dicken Mauern.Eigentlich ist das sehr schade,weil ich Jake mag aber man kann niemanden zwingen etwas zu sagen und er weiß ja wenn er reden möchte,werd ich da sein.Nachdem auch er gegangen ist,schaute ich mir noch einen Film an,den Link dazu hatte mir Clark gegeben naja der Film war ganz nett,aber nicht so wie die Filme die ich sonst so gewohnt bin aus dieser Filmecke grins,damit sind jetzt sicher keine Pornos gemeint loool.Was das für Filme sind muß keiner jetzt wissen,und später auch nicht :-P Und damit beende ich für heute wieder.
If you are not singing this tomorrow during the day... then ... then.. you're not me.. lol... this is awesome !!! Click above !!!
Combo 1,2, ah 3,4,5 Everybody loves Chinese steamed or fried, from the Chinese restaurant around the corner, so you say you want some won-ton soup, I’ll bring your order. Roast duck is a special all dis week, we fry it deep, be-cause our duck is cheap! You like Egg-Fu-Yon, diced chicken, chow wong and subgum. We are serving dimsun, all of it yum-yum. So, what can I getcha, a really big order pork, we got the chop sticks, but please use a fork. Everything is fried, it’s so good, like our dumplings. So, just give us a ring.
A little beef and broccoli you got to try. A little mixed vegetables and white rice A little sweet and sour is all you need. A little bit of salt-no MSG A little bit of General Tso’s chicken A little bit of lo mein I can send A little bit of Szchewan or Hunan A little bit of the moo goo gai pan!!!
I found a free Mercedes-C to drive but couldn't rez it in the shop, so I went to ABC Island instead. Rezzed it in the sandbox and then drove out to the Cricket field.
It had a beautiful interior, and was very smooth to drive, especially in mouselook.
Of course, ABC Island is not exactly known for its roads. Nor was I the best driver.
After a quick reconnoitre, I decided to go uphill.
This car could drive up the steepest gradient.
It was strange seeing the sky through the windscreen. Good job my gears held out.
Gestern,nachdem ich am Abend ins SL zurück kehrte ging es erst einmal auf Shopping Tour,ich hatte ja noch so einiges zu besorgen.Als ich alles erledigt hatte,schoß noch jemand ins SL dat Melda Dings,der Freund von Sunny leider hatte er dieses mal Pech,sie war nähmlich nicht da hatte ein treffen mit Freunden im RL.Und so quatschten wir eine Runde,Melda ist auch so ein richtiger Spaßvogel ich schmiß mich fast weg über seine Sprüche,ich glaub Sunny hat mit ihm nicht mal den falschen erwischt.Humor hat er,aber man kann auch mit ihm ganz normal reden ohne das man sich veralbert vorkommt,also eine gesunde Mischung lool.Nach dem er dann offline gegangen ist,ging ich noch ein wenig jagen und legte mich mit einigen Typen an,die mich irgendwie als Beute betrachteten,einer fragte mich sogar ob ich Escort Dienste anbiete,na das war ja gefundenes Fressen für mich,den machte ich mit worten so nieder,ich glaube der hat sich in dem Moment gewünscht,mich nicht angesprochen zu haben lach.Ich hasse solche Typen die nur ins SL kommen um zu poppen,widerlich so etwas.Tja und dann verzog ich mich dann auch,denn es war schon reichlich spät und ich wurde auch langsam müde...
If Only You Could See What I See With Your Eyes Posted 7/29/2010 3:17:58 PM by Sredni Eel - [Show All My Posts]
When Avatar Bizarre first started out, it was mostly eyes. A few people bought these eyes, including a friend of mine, who purchased a beautiful pair of deep blue eyes.
A week later, she'd sent me an offline thanking me because my eyes helped her have a "great time", wink, wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean?
That's as good a testimonial as anything you'd see on the likes of Yelp.com or reviews on eBay, don't you think?
In other news, crickets don't smell very good.
In my New World Order, crickets fed to pet lizards would smell better and make no noise. There's always one that escapes, hides in the crack behind the refridgerator, and chirps incessantly and off-key.
Escapees never sound like the peaceful buzz of crickets outside. They're always bloody nuisances.
Typical! New server upgrade (V1.40.4) rolled out. System wide grid restart completed.. all hunky dory now? Nope This was an upgrade from the other week which they had to roll back... Now put into place over the past few days.. and now SL has gone all Pete Tong! (Again!)
Roll on 18th August when they roll out the new server! (Pardon the bad pun!) Server 1.42 (pilot) and then on the 25th a "rolling restart" of Server 1.42
Typical.. No log-in No transactions available No Land Store either
[Updated 9:40 am PST] The issue that we are currently experiencing has been identified. However, we do not have an expected ETA. As soon as we have further information we will update this blog.
[8:48 am PST] We are aware that there are various technical issues taking place currently inworld and on the website. We are investigating this situation and working towards a quick resolution.
Some of the symptoms involved are difficulty to teleport, transactions failing and the inability to login. Please refrain from making inworld transactions, inventory transfers or rezzing items inworld. Please check this blog for further updates.
Some of the symptoms!!! Pray.. do tell exactly how many problems are there then?
I've been trying to log in for the past 3 hours or so.. its now 7pm here (11am SL time). I was previously in SL in my region around 2-3pm, about to do some of the rebuilding and went to see my friend Nightgirl, who was putting up a new outfit in HeroMart and also onto Xstreet (soon to be rebranded with a new name!) She had a few issues then and this was around 2-3pm. I then went to an Urban region, after looking on the SL website at some. I was in there looking around as a "visitor/observer" and then the lag meter started acting like a traffic light. I was stuck.. 8 times I tried to leave the region.. 8 times I failed.. "unable to teleport..." Around 4pm(ish) I called Nightgirl for help... and set my group tag to her home and bingo! It worked.. Rescued by Nightgirl.. (yay!) Another damsel in distress saved! I also had a webpage error message (500 internal error message) uh oh!! I tried to reload the page.. it eventually came back up and I logged out (I hope I did as it was taking ages and it went down again!) I told her about the region and what happened as well as that message showing up. She then departed as she had to leave work, day off tomorrow as she is getting ready for her holiday.
She then logged out leaving me on my own at her place trying to jump home! Nope! I failed.. 3 times and then got logged out by the system. Since then I had to hope that the system was still down as I was still logged into the SL website. It's now back up and I had logged out as I had to log back in.
Now we are at this stage.. Log-ins Disabled So no region rebuild for me for the forseeable future. This means a day lost on the rebuild for me as I'm working on my own doing this. Will they refund any down time over this I bet not.. despite the fact that we pay SL for regions/land etc we don't get a refund if it all goes belly up!
If this was a problem in RL and not SL you would expect some sort of compensation.. wouldn't you? the log-in screen shows around 17.9k in world and prior to that it was around 46-50k! That's a lot of pissed off punters lost and not even at peak time yet either! Ooooh Lucky for them at LL! Less complaints to handle!
