Second Life - a world in decline?
General Discussion
I remember reading a similar article about the supposed decline in SL. While I am firm that the roleplaying aspect is growing (not only the historical RPs, but others) Second Life is at the point of a gradual decline. In my opinion, I think LL should be more concerned about developing, promoting and, yes, investing in innovation rather than raising rates. Should SL want to grow - and I'm sure they do - they have to come up with ways to make it more stable. The grid is one of the biggest problems, though it has improved. Perhaps they should reintroduce some of their former policies with huge regulation (i.e. gambling, banking) although that would never happen. Even if there was a way to promote and oversee virtual microlending. I do love SL (when I'm able to get on) but it's still has a long way to go. Better than the competition, for sure.
