Bromley & Precious

Bromley and myself have been asked by several of our Islanders if we could change the terrain texture of Hampshire regions to snow.  We are very happy to do this but we realise that not everyone might want this; so we have decided to have a Snow Vote.  The majority votes will decide if we change the texture or not.

We hope everyone will be happy with the outcome regardless of what they voted for and hopefully those who voted the opposite  will be happy too!! SO, join in the fun and PLEASE PLEASE vote!!

The Details:

Go to our website to vote: Snow Vote!

Each Islander has one vote for their region

The voting starts Sunday 25th November and ends Sunday 2nd December.

If the decision results in region texture changing to snow it will ONLY be for four weeks starting Saturday 8th December until Saturday 5th January.  The region texture will then revert to our default texture.

Should the results end up in a draw, then that particular region will stay as our default texture.

SO Get voting!!!

We are pleased to announce that we will soon be launching Hampshire Island in InWorldz,
More information will be coming soon.
We can assure you that are commitment to Second Life will not change.

Hi, Bromley,

I’m sorry to hear you’re still having issues with your sim. The issue I’m having with troubleshooting is that we’ve checked the scripts, object physics, server data and can’t find anything that would be causing lag. In fact, from our readings, we can’t find lag at all on that sim. The records don’t show any and it runs nice and smooth when we visit it.

That leads me to wonder, especially as you don’t appear to have experienced this lag yourself – correct me please if I’m wrong about that – if it might be a viewer or client side issue. How many of your residents are experiencing this? If it looks like a client side issue, we will need the people actually experiencing the issue to open tickets about it so we can troubleshoot directly with them.

And in the interim, if someone is experiencing lag, it would be a huge help to us if they could open their statistics bar by going to Advanced –> Performance Tools –> Statistics Bar and take a screenshot with that showing. That would be a huge help.

Thanks,
Elijah Linden

I am aware you are all frustrated, but to solve this problem we do need everybody experiencing this to contact Lindens,

I as you can see am unable to do anymore than I have done,

I would like to hear from anybody who has spoken to LL, unless those who are experiencing this problem do not contact Lindens, it will not go away.

If you wish to leave a comment here, and do not have a Avatar email address, just put your name followed by @hampshireisland.com

Thank you.

Bromley.

Hi Again,

I have once again spoken to LL, they have suggested that all individuals suffering with this problem contact them directly, and explain your problems to them in more detail.
