Nothing found please search again
Ok, last night I went into game and was all ready to do some much needed shopping. I input one of my favorite stores in search and it said "nothing found" hmmm, I input another store and then another. My first thought was that they had closed down again due to the copy crap that took place last week. I then started seeing some IM activity from the club I often visit saying that the search was not working and they wanted a tp. Ahhhhh here we go again, first Wednesday was crazy with me nothing even being able to log in game for 2 hours now this bs on Thursday. I rolled my eyes pissed off that I could not go anywhere but HOME!!! OOOOO I thought why not do some inventory cleaning. As I got into my inventory I begin to regret the decision of a clean up. Hmmmm, I thought I could go to my landmarks and visit places I haven't in years. Mind you I have been in SL for 2 years, one of those years I had stop playing totally. When I first joined I lm every place I went too, no matter where it was. It was like taking a photo or a post card from every place you've been when your on vacation. So I worked my lm listing from the bottom and starting tping to places I have not seen in over a year. I hit up 20 places and only 4 were the original places that I had lm. So much about SL had changed when I first got there. I remember when I first landed in second life I was amazed at all that I saw. I came from TSO and then from There.com and there was so much to just soak in. When I first started children avies were few and far between. It was so rare to see them you would stop and stare and point at the tiny little darlings in sl. Now they are so many around that they blend in with everything else, same with Furries they were far and few in sl so you really didn't know that there was a whole world that had active furries. Truth is I didn't even know that their were real life people who function like this until I saw a episode of CSI in Vegas. Anyway, LOL getting back to what I was saying. So many of the places that I had landmark were now either for sales, grassy areas, private homes, mini malls or water. I had remember the year before I had purchase some cute little Christmas Trees from this garden place. The place was still there but the Trees either had not been put out or no longer exist. SL used to be so simple, people seem happier, more careful, more ready and willing to help you. Now it seems to be lot more confused, people who want everything and will do anything to get that. I did miss the place where I had viewed as my virtual new world. But there are a lot of things about SL that is wonderful too, and I do find myself enjoying the game a little more. A lot about sl has changed as I saw that when I went from lm to lm, but a lot about me has changed too. I am no longer the newbie who entered into this new world and didn't even know how to take a piece of clothing out of the box. I remember I had a pair of shoes that I had in the box for 3 months before I finally found out how to take them out of box, place them in my clothing inventory and wear them. WOW!!! Amazing isn't it, the other amazing part is how we are old timers have no patience for newbies. NONE!!! You wonder why the hell are they just not getting it. The truth is none of us just got it, and if your a newbie and you just go it chances are your ass has been here before and this is an alt or a brand new avie. Chances are the first is the answer LOL.
