Speaking of being Ruthed¹ I found my main avatar, Rom Ireton, Ruthed when I logged in to check on him today. Good thing I was wearing Dougal Jacob’s Autoderuth HUD but I decided to wait a few minutes to see if my shape will load before using the tool but my shape didn’t load.Using the tool, Autoderuth, wasn’t able to fix my appearance the first time. It took 2 or 3 more tries before it worked and that means being launched like a rocket up into the sky 2 to 3 times.

Here is a Ruthed and Deruthed photo of my avatar, Rom Ireton!

Too bad I missed the Ruthed! event last October 14, 2007. I have a lot of Ruthed photos of both Kabalyero Kidd and Rom Ireton. I think everyone has experienced this Second Life bug even the newbies that visited CSI:New York in-world got a taste of Ruth. LOL!

Remember you can get a copy of Autoderuth HUD at SLExchange for quick access but for an updated copy visit Linden Lifestyles HQ in-world!

I believe Ruthing isn’t a big concern with most residents because you can always relog and that usually fixes it but viewer crashes, lag, inventory loss, failure to rez, inaccessible accounts and other performance issues are far more serious concerns which should be resolved ASAP. At least for Ruthing we have Autoderuth.
