Can I get an Update?

Posted by doveswanson on March 1, 2008

What’s the point in having an update group (SL-based or not) if you aren’t going to….uh….update it? Don’t we join update groups so that we can be the first to hear about new stuff and just general store changes and info? Since when does an update group come third, fourth, or …never (in some cases) to hear about news and new shit? What is this foreign word – “unannounced” …what doth thou meanest?? How the hell can you have an update group and still qualify to use the word ‘unannounced’…seems like you lose that right somewhere in that process. Is this some new fun game designers have decided to launch on us? It’s not fun, by the way.

Oh, and update groups that drop a landmark to the shop on you, and nothing else – I love you. I freakin love you. That’s sarcasm incase you didn’t notice. I don’t need to be reminded weekly that you still exist on the grid. Unless you are writing to tell me of some changes to the shop, something new being released or a sale perhaps – please don’t think that a landmark is anything more than an annoyance.

Thank God for subscribe-o-matic groups …otherwise some of these groups that suck at this so hard, would be a terrible waste of those precious twenty-five slots. You are probably asking, why bitch about it? Why not just unsubscribe from the group? Well, because I actually LIKE the stores, I actually LIKE their product – that’s why I joined the group to begin with…I just hate the lack of notices or lack of notice content.

Personally, I feel that an update group is a collection of some of your biggest fans, the customers who care enough to pause, look you up and join or click that kiosk and join – so obviously they’re your direct market - why the HELL aren’t we taken better care of?

Please. And Thank You.
