HI Senor Martin .. I hope you have been well ! I would like to give you a few comments . From my perspective , I would hope that you don't remove Talented Craftsmen , Artisans and Architects from the world Grids by creating only an OFF line content creation pipeline that removes the Artisans avatar from the worlds . There are several reasons why I would like to see builders remain in world and not simply pipeline content . Some reasons are social and cultural , some of the other reasons are economic .
Some Concerns I have :: Content Creators are very good citizens of a world grid . Serious , large scale grid owners know that these content creators are critical to there early success . I personally sponser these creators much like a Rennaissance Era Princess would . I give them everything they need , money , land etc to succeed . But they also need to see me in world , in order to remain highly motivated as I want and need them to be . I suppose I could require the guys to be in world while they pipeline content , but then its easy for them to say they were AFK working .. So in terms of Global management of a crew , I feel its essential that work is done in world.. Economically , I would hope to see builders in world , because these are good jobs . They also bring more content creators to the world grid as they say that the world is a good place to live a virtual life ... What kinds of jobs and opportunities do we have in world if we remove the construction trades from our world grids ? We also do not want a world full of game players . Game players do not contribute content generally so they are not productive in world . They are consumers .. We need consumers and producers in world . Economically , I feel its essential that people are able to project there vision and plans upon the world ( while they are in world ) . IF people only see a world as being a place for them to play a game , this is going to dramatically reduce the amount of content that is in world . It could possibly lead to a near monopoly of content where the world owner needs to create much of the content herself . This is viable in small scale operations , but is impossible in larger grids for one person to create content for 1000 regions , for example . I could go on and on about my reasons as to why I need to see my artisans in world creating there masterpieces and my biggest concerns that I have is that I am very precise in what I require my guys to do and they dont motivate like they do when they are with me . In many cases , if they do not see me , they may not even really care about the job too much . Who knows if I can get the person to even produce in such a situation without them having direct contact with me . I also see mistakes that others do not see and In my view , Its going to be hard for most of them to meet the requirements of my builds if they do not have direct contact with me during the building process in world . Part of this reason , is because they all like to take short cuts , regardless of how much money they are being paid . I have never seen a build where a person has created exactly what i want without changes having to take place . For example , I could say , this flooring is not right , I do not like those windows .. That should have been pure white cement and not that shade you used... ETC .. So a method of fixing things , some what on the fly like this , would be very helpful . IF they can't do it in world at least in some modest way , I think we are going to get less work done than we would like to , because it is going to take them longer to fix there builds. In short and if possible senor Martin , I would like you to integrate blender into the world building system so that we can some how keep builders in world . You probably have a colloborative solution in place already , I am simply saying that this solution is important to the success of larger grids. Lastly , while it is probably a defeat for me if all of my builders are creating content off world , but we all sincerely appreciate your efforts in creating a working build system for Taiga . Thank you Senor Martin for taking the time to read my response Tara Desoto -- http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org
