I have tried to find answers through support tickets again and again. All i get are questions and no answers however when i view my ticket list it has solution provided. I WAS NEVER PROVIDED A SOLUTION!!!!!!! I can't teleport to the land i pay monthly tier fees on. I can't teleport much of anywhere for that matter. I tried flying places but if i get to the land all i see is water. SO i am paying tier fees for a house on land that i can't see either of them. If i go to the water that is my land i just bounce. OH and to top it all i never got to speak to someone about my billing. I can't sell the land i can't see it or click it !!!! Billing won't answer the phone for me to cancel my account!!! YOU are ripping me off!!!! Your idea of a support page is a joke. I have tried to find answers through support tickets again and again.

We all have been looking for follow-up info on Boston Recruiting: How many people showed up at the party? Are most of the applicants local, or are more of them “willing to move” to this area/country? Has LL opened their office in Boston yet? Will there be more parties, In-World or RL? Have any of the positions been filled? What positions have you narrowed down the field, and what positions are still wide open? What is generally the review/interview process? Is there anybody we can speak to In-World about employment at LL?

How many people showed up at the party?

Are most of the applicants local, or are more of them “willing to move” to this area/country?

Has LL opened their office in Boston yet?

Will there be more parties, In-World or RL?

Have any of the positions been filled?

What positions have you narrowed down the field, and what positions are still wide open?

What is generally the review/interview process?

Is there anybody we can speak to In-World about employment at LL?

The only reason i'm posting HERE is, that i simply can't post it in the other blog entry, as comments are, as usual, closed. Unfortunately i'm not awake most of the time when these entries are posted, u know, our planet is huge ;). And when i get up, look up the blog and find something that needs to be commented in my oppinion, the comments are already closed. When i dig through the comments i see the same whine as everytime, mostly of the same ppl as everytime, filling up the 100 comment slots and not leavin a chance for others to post something "important". Thats annoying me. I want to give some productive feedback, i'm not one of these whiners, but i have no chance at all to comment things. Be sure, i really do hate hijacking other blog entries to leave my comment, but what kind of choice do i have, if i want to be heard? + Can't post it in the correct blog entry. + Can't post it in the forums. It's not my fault, that ppl keep spamming the comments with their whine. I just wanted to say, that if the weather system is going to be changed, they could/should keep in mind all the feature-requests from the past years, because NOW is the right time to include them, if all possible. Not beeing able to build a "nice" skyscraper, as clouds are inside your building, is something that could be taken care of now, because they're going to change the system anyway. This is of utterly importance to me, as i'm a builder and have to mess around with this limitation quite often. :-/ I just wanted to be sure, that nobody forgets to think about that. And sorry, closing the comments at 100 posts and not leaving any possibility to give some constructive feedback, leaves me with a feeling of "nobody cares about it anyway". I don't think it's wrong to express that, because this is how it makes me feel. And i'm quite sure that i'm not the only one. And its not a smart thing to give you customers the feeling, that you don't care about their oppinion. My fault that i don't live in the states, and can't comment on time? What is the sense behind that auto closing? I simply don't get it. Well, have a nice day/night anyway, wherever you're from. :) Just to make that one clear.

This was basically just an announcement of some positive business development (and to the guy who thinks they don't have a business plan, i'd like to see the consumer comments on the business of this size and complexity that you run). On the blog pages where LL are letting us know about a problem you see many Linden comments - why would they spend a lot of time commenting here? They're busy working, if you have something that you need an immediate repsonse on contact the help desk. I'm surprise that with as many people on these blogs who claim to know something about computers or computer programming that the assumption seems to be made that if something is broken it can be immediately found and fixed. Ususally when something unexpected happens, it's because it was imbedded in a sufficiently complicated piece of programming that can not be quickly unravelled without potentially causing more problems. And to all you nay sayers out there, if it was easy, we'd all be doing it. Yes, some businesses had some income loss - if you had a pipe break in the middle of your street and flood your building in RL chances are good you wouldn't get it fixed for several days either - compare it to any real life situation and i think that LL does a pretty good job at making repairs in a timely manner. Why do people expect perfection and immediate service here when it doesn't even begin to happen in the real world. I believe LL is substantially more repsonsive when it comes to repairing issues than most RL companies - ever have to wait a couple of weeks after your phone service goes out because someone ran into a junction box? It happens all the time, and we deal with it apparently far more calmly than people do here. Look at how you do your own job and how your company supports it's clients, if it's better then LL, then kudos to you, but i'd bet money that the majority arent' any better and rather are far worse - so get over it. Or if you don't like it, you start your own company, create your own world, find out just how difficult it is to maintain and you do a better job, best of luck...
