Well, I know I’m a little bit slow sometimes. But I’m not THAT slow. Linden Labs seem to think I am, perhaps even that we all are! When I was unable to login today (shock, horror, how completely surprised I am by this failure), I was greeted with a very informative message:

Now, I’d already figured that much out for myself. I wasn’t sure at first, you know. I was completely uncertain as to whether I’d logged in or not. But the real giveaway was in the fact that I wasn’t in game, that I was just staring at the login page of the viewer. That was what cemented it for me. Maybe Linden Labs have begun to feel like so much is wrong in game that being in world really is that easily mistaken for being at the login screen.

Well, since they’re embarking upon a state-the-obvious mission, I have a few suggestions of my own for their login failure messages to add to their collection.

Or they could be really controversial and actually give us some…wait for it… INFORMATION!

“Login has failed because we are too busy counting up all our money.”

“Login failed because we’re all taking a break.”

“Login failed because it did. But whatever happened it definitely absolutely was 100% not our fault. No way. It was our service provider, or the power company, or the griefers, or GOD! Yes, that’s it. Login failed owing to Divine Intervention.”

Wow, I wish these people would employ me to take care of their PR!
