Unfortunately most people follow the "give me an inch and I will take a mile" philosophy and try to get away with whatever they can. To whit, the Open Space nonsense. You can't trust people to be conservative.

Unfortunately, this puts the overseers in the position of having to discipline the children. :-(

Well, too early to tell what effect this will have but yes, it may come to closing down scripts that are not currently in use to make room for others to run. I already do this on my sim to lower lag. It's a habit I wish all would follow. Perhaps this will force them to do so.

Thanks for commenting Caliburn... you helped me find a problem in the comment section. Words are running over.. very weird never seen an attribute in css that would cause that I think.

Comments are now fixed

I'll have to see more of what they intend on doing to truly have an opinion, but given LL's decisions in the past, I'm not exactly getting that "warm-fuzzy" feeling from that blog entry =/

I can just see it now....

Latest Breaking News!
Second Life is experiencing a huge epidemic of Male Erectile Dysfunction! Scripters are working hard on the Viagra Fix!

I suppose while they're at it, they'll have an option to purchase more script usage and have new "script tier" purchasing section on the website. The last thing Linden Lab needs is to LIMIT more. I have to agree with Skidz that LL needs to empower scripts instead of restrict them.

Can you say money grab?

Jesse_Barnett on twitter http://twitter.com/Jesse_Barnett sent me this URL of a converstation in world with Babbage Linden confirming this. So it looks like it is officially going to happen.

Considering articles such as this

what better way to start pushing people out into the OpenSim world than to limit SL more and more? I remember when I first looked at SL back in 2004 (before I got hooked into SkidzCENSOR), they said even then that the plan all along was that SL was "temporary" in the sense that they wanted sims to be as commonplace as webpages...people hosting their own etc...

Another nail? More like a giant, freaking spike! That sort of limit would mean sudden and total death for all of SL. Just about everything in the entire grid would instantly break if they inplemented this.

Where theres coffins, there will be grave robbers they say...

Nuf sayd, let the chaos begin. May the best win. Survival of the fittest. Darwin at its best.

This is so true. I bet there is a surge in web based development after this happens.

I broke into LLs secret research lab with my crow-bar last night and stole their incredible shopisticated beta code for it, they have been working for months on it:

if (GetUsedMemory() > (MaxAllowedPerSQM * ParcelSize))
{
refuseRezzing();
if (rezExploitUsed() == TRUE)
{
RandomlyBreakCodeEverywhere();
}
} else {
ContinueRunninSkidzCENSORBugsNeverGonnaBeFixed();
}

Well personally as a landlord in SL I can't wait for LL to put this into place I am sooo tired of people complaining about lag when they are the ones causing it someone with 1 parcel is running 500 scripts with pets and all sorts running at 8ms and the person next door with 4 parcels hardly uses any script time at 2ms. We have restictions on prims and people don't complain because they know thats what they have but with script they have no idea who's running what. The only thing I would suggest is that estate managers can adjust the setting to suit themselves like prim bonus now.
