SkyLifeGrid - A Wonderfully Laggy Place To Be
SkyLifeGrid, it's a wonderfully laggy place to be.
Recently, I got a chance to check out SkyLifeGrid which is a virtual world that runs on OpenSim or OpenSimulator. OpenSim grids are like alternative grids to Second Life and SkyLifeGrid is one of them.
When I visited SkyLifeGrid, it had no users in world, 75 regions, a total of 44 users and 52 active users in the last 30 days which means that SkyLifeGrid is not a very active grid.
The first place that I was taken to when I first logged-in to SkyLifeGrid was the Welcome Area and it's called SkyLife Welcome Center.
To my surprise, the welcome area is pretty good because it had almost everything a new user needs. It had Free Textures, Free Starting Avatars, Free Animation Overrides, Teleports to SkyLife Destinations, a couple of game boards and a bar for hanging out.
The one thing that was not great about SkyLifeGrid was the lag. There was nobody else in the Welcome Center and yet I was lagging badly.
Of course, it could be just my internet connection and my location to the server but, still, I shouldn't be lagging that bad specially when I don't get that much lag in Second Life.
Anyway, because of the bad lag I was only able to look around the Welcome Area or Welcome Center. I'm sure there are places to visit in SkyLifeGrid but, unfortunately, I won't be doing any of that.
Bad lag means bad experience but it doesn't mean that if I'm lagging in SkyLifeGrid then you will lag as well. NO. It could be the reverse. Who knows, maybe it will not lag as bad for you.
That's it for this blog post and if you have any comments, questions or reactions then please post them in the comments section below.
