With the shiny new PBR materials and Linden Lab's ongoing indifference to anyone actually trying to enjoy the Mainland, how about this radical idea: only load the parcel I'm standing on, instead of every single bordering parcel at once. This should be an option and it is super simple to implement into your ancient un-optimized code.

Yes, I know draw distance exists, but it clearly isn't solving the problem of your engine rendering the entire neighborhood's junk while I’m just trying to stand still without my FPS tanking.

LL, for once, try pretending you actually care about the existing user experience instead of just cranking out more generic prefab houses to bait people into P+. MAINLANDERS ALREADY PAY FOR A MEMBERSHIP PLUS A RIDICULOUSLY HIGH TIER.

I'm on a 500mbps connection and have a mid-range gaming PC and still lags out on a low draw distance. o.O

Newsflash: not everyone wants one of your little cookie-cutter McMansions that sucks all creativity out the window nor do we want to pay to have 5fps which turns SL into a slide show.

Second Life was supposed to be about creativity, right? Yet your low-prim, boring, zero-personality starter homes offer all the creative freedom of a Soviet-era apartment block. Brilliant strategy. Let's show some love to the tens of thousands of us who own mainland parcels, all of whom are paying members.

Provide a quality experience and people will stop leaving!! Mainland is in severe decline, as seen by the plummeting prices and quantity of abandoned parcels and parcels for sale. Fault lays on LL for ignoring the mainland. End the mainland or fix the issues.
