When JohnnyNite Darkstone vacated the position of Emperor of [The Roman Empire] region, he was immediately replaced by aaminah Shikami and she was coronated Empress of The Roman Empire region last August 20, 2008.
aaminah Shikami, Empress of The Roman Empire region!
I went to the coronation to capture some snapshots but, because of the amount of people who attended the event, the sim lagged like it never lagged before. LOL! (more…)
SLASH! is currently holding a 50,000L$ Model Contest. I learned about it from mikaela Yifu who contacted me about it. I then went to SLASH! main store at SLASH to learn more about the contest. The place was a little bit laggy but after waiting a while the immediate area finally rezzed and information about the contest was everywhere. A big board showing the Top 20 entries is near the landing point.
I also noticed a female avatar named Nuhai Ling was at the landing point and she has this hover text above her head saying that she is in the contest. She noticed that I was taking photos of the board and IMed me about it. I told her it’s for my blog and then she guided me to the big contest wall where all the contestants photos’ are displayed.
I’ve also made a brief video report on it too.
50,000L$ is a lot of money that is why I’ve decided to enter Kabalyero Kidd into the contest. His photo is number is 728 and it’s located at the top far right of the wall so please vote for him and also please vote for mikaela Yifu who is a friend of a friend. Her photo number is 113 and she is currently in the Top 20.
The contest is still accepting entries so if you want a chance to win that 50,000L$ then take a nice photo of yourself and join the contest today. Just drop by at SLASH! main store to learn how to join and don’t forget to join the group to get updates and free goodies too.
These past few days I found my Second Life plagued with slow movements, high packet loss, rezzing failure, disconnection, crashes, missing assets, inability to login, getting trapped in a logout loop and others but the worst of them all is the extreme lag. The grid is so laggy and choppy that it took me 6 or 8 hours to accomplish easy tasks like building and moving really simple objects.
At first I thought that it could be my connection but visiting Second Life’s blog I found out that Second Life is experiencing a lot of stability and server issues like the following:
Wow! Four issues within a few days. Good thing I still have a First Life to worry about because if not I would be sitting on my chair pulling my hairs out right now (LOL). What really annoys me is that I don’t spend that much time anymore in-world and then all these happen during my in-world time. I wasn’t able to explore new places. I wasn’t able to search for new camping spots and it took me too much time to renovate 3 Stars and a Sun.
Eventhough those above listed issues were already marked as resolved in Second Life’s official blog, I feel that the grid is still not that stable. I’m still experiencing some lag spikes from time to time but it is stable enough to allow me to build and rearrange some objects at 3 Stars and a Sun.
Everyone is welcome to drop by at 3 Stars and a Sun. I’ve re-textured the inside of the place. It now features an ocean infinity look and I’ve also added some Christmas decorations to spice up the place.
Anyway, I hope that tomorrow’s rolling restart makes everyone’s Second Life worth living again.
