Linden Labs introduce revolutionary new transport system

Even with the introduction of Havok 4 physics engine, Linden Labs are painfully aware that sim crossing are still an issue for most residents - crashes, drifting off into space or the earth, losing sight of your prims, even finding inventory forever gone, we all know that crossing a sim line can hurt.

 

Well, in a bid to improve user experience and reduce inventory loss, Linden Labs are installing their new Pixie Powered Sim Crossing Systems (PPSCS) throughout the grid. Of course they are not using real pixies, but the vehicles employed to carry avatars safely over a sim border has been designed to look like a small pixie - you merely use the scripted whistle (found on a length of string by all sim borders) to call a pixie and sit on the first one that appears. You are then carried safely over the sim line and deposited more or less upright by the wee fey folk.

 

I don't normally cheer when Linden Lab add a new feature as it means a new download - but this one sounds like a much needed improvement I think we will all salute!

 

This is HeadBurro Antfarm on a pixie for CNN iReport.
