I had some troubles with a free "killer" elevator
I used a free elevator from Yanni's junkyard with the idea that this would be used to bring avatars up to the platform. But after adjusting the positioning and everything, the elevator turned out to be dangerous. It would lift me too high and then I would drop down only to be lifted again like some silent film comedy. I spent about an hour with the script and the objects trying to fix the problem but could not. So I unrezzed it and made a slopped walk up to the platform. I would like to build almost everything myself in this new home. The idea I think for a lot of people is to become a paid builder in Second Life.
Personally I am finding the game frustrating to move around in. I think I am going to scale back my playing of this game.
