Your Landing Point Attacked Me

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

“Welcome to my store, I hope you have a wonderful time trying to get out from underneath the God damn prim you landed under. I hope your camera isn’t going all haywire as you try and cam around to find some means of escape and I hope you don’t swear and curse at your screen lots as you realise that you probably will just have to teleport away. So why is it I don’t make any sales again?”

Ok, so that isn’t actually a greeting I have encountered. But it’s a greeting that I swear some stores need to use. People, people…. PLEASE double check your landing points. There is nothing worse than being teleported to a place and finding yourself stuck. Ok well maybe there are worse things…. like starving people etc, but you get my gist.

It would be the equivalent of going to a store in real life and as soon as you walk through the door, a big burly security guard bundles you to the floor, punches you in the face a few times and pins you down under a few big rocks and things. Then he says, ‘Ok, you can shop if you can get out from under there.’ Once again, maybe it isn’t quite like that, but whatever.

It makes me laugh, however, when people complain that they NEVER make sales and then you go over to their store and the landing point is underground somewhere miles from the store entrance. Apparently the basics of making sales from a store starts with having a store people can access. I hear that helps… rumour has it!

Anyway, I just felt like a whinge and bitch for a change.
