Conundrum

10Jun08

I’ve been having more and more people ask for an LM to my store, the answer is always the same – “Ever since the grid became so unstable and sales plummetted, it wasnt worthwhile for me to have a store, I wasnt making enough to pay the rent, so I stick to SLX and On-Rez”

Yesterday I got offered the opportunity to open another inworld, in a new and as yet undeveloped sim. First, I had to fight the creative juices as they screamed “BLANK SLATE!!!! MAKE IT PUUUUUURDY!” and then had to think hard about the economics, is the grid ready for me? Will it have enough traffic? Will I be the only Grunge dealer in a sim of poshies? Arraargh! And then – I recount my shopping expereiences.

I rarely shop inworld, it generally ends in me crashing in lagtastic style as I’m overwhelmed with scripts and particles, after having fought with a sticky cam and barely able to pan or move in a bog of molasses. This is hardly joy, why do some people still insist on only supporting Inworld stores? Please – Tell me why YOU do it, enlighten me?

In the meantime, I’ll fiddle with making an inworld store design, even if I never get to put it anywhere, I’m scratching the creative itch
