Pussy Quiet celebrates the new year with a chilled-out Sunday at beautiful Lake Keely. Mellow out with @Mulanbefore Dota makes her debut with some Berlin bliss.

 

What I am looking for is just some more transparency. They have said they are working on new server software to meet increased demand. However, it would be nice to know timelines on when this will be fixed. At the moment there seems like no end in sight. Maybe you thought you could deliver a new server solution in a week, but it turns out that it has taken a lot longer than anticipated. Just be honest and open with your paying customers that it is taking longer than expected and make sure customers are compensated, even though it is not extended periods of downtime, it would be a goodwill gesture for people who continue to support your game despite all its flaws because they actually like the game and the community in the game.
I have been a customer on and off for about 5 years now and for the first time I am seriously considering alternatives, although the alternatives don't look that great either.
Second Life has a step learning curve, despite being "free" you end up spending a bunch of money on outfits etc, the textures and animations aren't up to the level of 3DX, and lag is a problem. But if you want the ultimate customisation and you can get over the steep learning curve then it is for you. I know people who have moved away from 3DX to Second Life and people who have gone the opposite direction.
RLC, I have heard that has pretty much being neglected for a long time and a lot of people left RLC to go to 3DX, so RLC probably isn't the best place to go.
I can't speak on others like Achat or IMVU, but I am sure they also have their own problems. Although, like with RLC, it seems a lot of people moved from Achat and IMVU to 3DX.
If you are looking for loads of customisation and features then go with Second Life. Personally, I prefer things to be simple. I don't want to invest time and money improving an online character, I just want to come online, hang out, have fun, DJ and log off. When 3DX works, it does that well and I am happy to pay a subscription for that (when it works).
My worry is that 3DX is going the same way of competitors like RLC, that the developers are just going to lose interest and just do the bare minimum or have some internal issues that mean major new releases are things that just drag on years and never get completed. However, judging by the increased frequency of new releases and apart from this issue, it seems like Gizmo has made some efforts at improving communication, communicating through the forums more often, setting up Discord, Telegram and other social media presence (although social media is probably more a promotional tool than communicating issues).
Lastly, if you have just had enough and want to leave then it looks like support is quick at offering refunds. I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel, but I am starting to lose patience and faith right now.

Its come to a point where saying "we are working on it" no longer means anything. A month is a long time to make your paying customers deal with horrible server stability.
I really hope there are plans to provide additional time to make up for all these problems, like at least 1 month of time... or more depending how much longer this is going to continue. I don't know how the devs can not be embarrassed by this. Its a very very amateur way to run a company and provide service to paying customers. 

I have tried to be patient and understanding as long as I can but it has simply reached a point of pure absurdity. 

Hi Folks,
Can anybody please be so kind to explain why - and under which conditions - the proposed usage of a VPN would help to ease the issues most of us are facing?
I have some understanding of what a VPN is, how it basically works and how it's usually being used (establishing connections into a company network, circumvent geo-blocking, privacy aspects) - but I really don't get how a VPN that wouldn't include 3DX as an endpoint could help...
Why and how would a VPN remediate DC's that seem to affect everybody as we noticed repeatedly lately...?
Why and how would a VPN help with profile issues...?
Thanks a lot!

Guys,
There is a lot of frustration for many due to the current situation and I fully understand everybody who is expressing this here on the forums.
What I am wondering though is if things is also reported through http://3dxchat.com/support/ ?
As we can't tell if or when the posts on the forum are being read by the Devs / Support, I'd assume taking the official approach might make most sense to raise awareness properly.
I just sent this:
Yes, I know there is no guarantee that this will help any better - but I guess it's the best we can do... - the more do, the better it might...
Wishing you all a lot of patience and that the problems will get fixed soon...
