I think this is just a simple ‘less hassle’ move. Nothing strange about it.

Yes, it’s easy enough for a sim owner to request a sim rollback. Of course getting one in response to your request is another matter…

But leave that aside. The sim owner requests one, because a few people have lost stuff. Maybe it happens – maybe not, that’s not the issue really.

Say it does happen though, at that point all the people who have built or placed stuff, or made ANY changes since the time the rollback was requested to – maybe 48 hours, or longer, prior to the rollback actually being performed, get on the sim owners back about all THEIR stuff vanishing!

Who needs that sort of crap? No, far easier to drop it back in the laps of those responsible for sims loosing stuff in the *first* place – Linden Lab.

Anyway, LL are very reluctant to do rollbacks for sims in multiple occupation, for obvious reasons. It’s difficult enough convincing them to do one when you are the sole occupant – believe me!

Just a simple sensible decision by ACS – nothing strange at all. Nothing to see, move along please…

Blue, it’s actually just a simple form to fill out: https://secure-web7.secondlife.com/account/rollback.php

“Private estate management is NOT a scalable business model.” – bluesapphire

You’d think the Lindens would’ve figured this out by now. They’re still the largest private estate owner; and continuing to expand one of their continents.

I heard this has nothing to do with bugs, this is to do with support levels. Dreamland cannot get the higher level support they need for their residences, private estates have estate management tools handled by the owner of the land. If they need a rollback they have to request and get in a line. Imagine that headache on the scale of Dreamland’s scale of sim ownership? Easier to just say you cannot do it, am I right here?

Besides, roll backs would effect the entire sim, this is not for an individual rental parcel requests.

Think about this people!

1) Private estate management tools are generic and apply to everyone.
2) All real responses for support still have to dealt with by a Linden.
3) Private estate management is NOT a scalable business model.

I got the pop up today as well.
As a land owner is Dreamland I felt it was a very responsible position to take. I lost stuff in a rollback there not long ago and I am glad to see that Dreamland won’t let that happen to more people if they can help it.

LOL at the dabbling in real estate comment.
