I blogged about Second Life event listings the other day.

Actually, more specifically I blogged about the fact that the listing was screwing up. Something else to add to the list of screwed up things since the website update. That post is here.

Anyhow… as I’ve said before, I cancelled my premium account after about 15 months because I thought the support was pretty mediocre anyway. But a friend of mine did go in and query this in live chat (apparently us humble basic members are not worth live chatting to).

The problem…. You cannot list an event with a landing point above 700m.

What. The. Fuck?

So you can build up to 4000m and, given associated lag problems with events that have a lot of people attending, many venues to build at these heights. But you’re not allowed to hold events there? Well, that’s logical.

/end sarcasm.

What a stupid little rule. I actually cannot decipher an element of logic to it in any sense. You can have a party at 700m… but 701m? Oh my God, no! CODE RED, CODE RED, WE HAVE A PROBLEM… SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HAVE A GATHERING IN A SKYBOX AT 706M.

So, that’s something worth bearing in mind when you set your location up. Although the build function has now been enabled up to 4000m, something they were very proud to tell us, there’s little point in having any venue you will hold events in higher than 700m.
