Second Life Citizens, Unite and Take Over


Concerned residents of Second Life have watched patiently as the past two years the virtual world has grown from a tiny community into an entire empire. It's grown so fast that the day-to-day maintenance and upgrading of the site hasn't caught up and now an open letter has been circulating listing some of the problems that Linden Labs need to fix. Some of the issues includes the inability to backup inventory losses, issues with friend search and friend lists, transaction problems, and more. But of course, true to Second Life form, they're trying to be super nice about it:

We remain fully supportive of Second Life and are more than willing to continue doing our part to help, but our confidence is steadily being eroded due to a general lack of communication and the apparent failure to successfully address the many issues detailed above. What we are asking for is that these problems are addressed immediately, ahead of new features, and that we are able to see tangible improvements. We accept that this will not happen overnight but it also cannot be allowed to continue indefinitely either.

There must be some kind of inner-peace you can buy in the virtual markets because if I had all those problems in one of my games, I would be pissed. Alec Baldwin kind of pissed.
