Also as SL moves to open servers, sim owners will have even more choice as to how to control access and security on their land.

Griefing is a matter of security of the software not existence of weapons. Speaking of which, we could do a bit more about security.

There are weapon free sims, but griefers still turn up with them and cause problems.

Many of them are just buying weapons from somewhere.

I’d like to see a system where an object had to be marked as a weapon by it’s creator, and if a person tried to rez a weapon on a weapon free sim, they couldn’t… that simple.

Wolfie!

Also, I think a lot of companies from many sectors will be looking for skilled builders, scripters and other content creators. Either to build initial content or help maintain it later, and also guide them around Second Life. This would include how to make their parts of the Metaverse weapons free, if they choose to, or to choose the level of security they wish to have. As Dandellion says, there are parts of the grid that are weapons free, and that policy can be set (if they choose to) by the owner of the land. Thanks for the write-up Lowell.

There are plenty of games out there with the type of graphics gamers want,
Leave SL for those of us who just want to build and make friends in peace.
