The State of the Openlife Nation - Dec 10

As always I prefice this with the disclaimer that I am not in the know. I have no inside track. I only have the posts and the blogs and the chats and such to go by. So no CREDIBILITY here, but perhaps a pulse of the nation sort of thing :D

Tomorrow is a server update - 4pm UTC

This update will bring all regions to the new 3DXServer 0.6.8 software. It includes a long list of bug fixes and improvements (to be released after update).

So hopefully we will all be happily surprised with more stability and things working that did not work before. If there is indeed a list, I will try and find it and post it here.


The "Take a Copy" permissions problem noted in this forum post seems to be a continuing problem for the moment. An important part of Sakai's message includes the note that:

The transit of items from non-creator and non-respective permissions will be addressed shortly. -> Note Openlife does not have an in world credits system at this point while there are still permissions issues to address.

SOOOO -- we won't be getting currency by mid December it seems. No great surprise and no giant loss either.


From reading other blogs and posts and chatter, it seems that we each have our "what we need" lists -- and of course they are very divergent. Are we ready for prime time? I don't think so :D Are we ready for the next group of folks from the mini sim fiasco to descend? Most likely not.

That doesn't mean they wont. And some will stay and some will no doubt leave and life will go on. As someone mentioned on a comment to a blog, there have been a LOT of improvements in the last month. The tech folks are understandably swamped with land orders, regular maintenance and the like. Stability is still the number one priority it seems and that works for me.

We will get to prime time when we get there -- and hopefully be able to embrace the journey that takes us to the forefront.
