Platinum's reaction to traffic announcement

Platinum would like to convey how pleased it is at the recent announcement from Linden Lab about the removal of popular places and potentially traffic. See link below:

The Future of Popular Places and Traffic

It looks forward to trading without having to utilise camping and compete against parcels farmed by Bots.

Lets just spare some sympathy for the hordes of campers that have benefited from the Platinum Coffee Shop for the past year. You have my commitment that I will continue the camping for as long as traffic exists.

If you are concerned at the plans that Linden Lab have - they have announced there is a group you can join as below:

"We are opening up the discussion about the future of Traffic: anyone from our community who is interested is invited to join the “LL Traffic Future” group for further updates and info about inworld brainstorming sessions to come. To find it in Second Life:
  • Click Search button on the toolbar at the bottom of your screen, then click All tab (on the left).
  • Search for “LL Traffic Future”.
  • Click the match that comes up in results, then click “View Full Profile”.
  • Click the “(Join L$0)” button and you’re in! "

Platinum Coffee Shop

The Platinum Coffee Shop is perhaps one of the best known places in Second Life for socialising and making some money. It is also one of the oldest places, now over a year old and still one of the most popular places. Everyone in the Coffee Shop is a customer, we don't condone bots like our competitors for two reasons:

1. We strongly believe in supporting the Second Life economy by giving money to people that need it. It is businesses like Platinum that give Newbies and others money to circulate Linden's back into the economy and allow people to spend this where and as they like. Without businesses like Platinum the economy would suffer and there would be less money for everyone to spend.

2. Using Bots is plainly cheating. It is nothing more than land owners putting their own avatars on to parcels to make it seem like they are more popular than they are. It gives nothing back to the community and breaks TOS given from Linden Lab that states you can only have up to 5 Alternative Accounts.

The Platinum Coffee Shop continues to be one of the most popular places despite having to compete with most of its competitors that use bots.



Platinum Coffee Shop at Dawn.......

When you arrive at the Coffee Shop you should pick a table and seat to sit on and start making friends with the people around you. Not only have some of my oldest customers made some really good friends, a couple of them are getting married in-world!

Enjoy!
