Market Data Portal

==Welcome to the Second Life Market Data Portal!==
As Second Life grows, its ecosystem and economy are becoming more and more important in Real Life. As a result, more and more businesses, organizations and individuals want to know what Residents are doing in Second Life and in Real Life.
Demographic studies are a good way to find out. Linden Lab is regularly approached by market researchers who request our assistance with studies that can be used to inspire their clients and partners to participate in Second Life.
Because we at Linden Lab are committed to the privacy of our Residents, we don't release personally identifiable data to outside companies (see our Privacy Policy). We also don't like to favor one vendor in the ecosystem above another. Finally, we believe strongly in the wisdom of the crowds, and we think we'll see better results from group demographic efforts.
Therefore, we wanted to try a different approach to working with the companies that have requested our assistance with demographics -- no exclusive partnerships, but instead a collaborative approach.
The purpose of this wiki is to create a collaborative environment where companies interested in research studies can meet each other, work together, and display their results. It will consequently also be the central place Linden Lab provides where everyone who wants to know demographic data about Second Life can request information from the ecosystem or view results of past studies.

Subject: 2 de abril de 2013: Plano de remoção da Magic Box
Caro <Merchant>,
Como você sabe, há aproximadamente um ano nós introduzimos a Entrega direta, um método mais rápido e confiável de entregar as mercadorias aos seus clientes do Second Life Marketplace. Para concluir a migração das Magic Boxes para a Entrega direta, estamos começando a retirada em etapas das Magic Boxes. Você está recebendo esse email porque identificamos que você tem ao menos uma listagem ativa em sua loja que ainda usa as Magic Boxes. Para manter essas listagens ativas, você precisará convertê-las para o sistema de Entrega direta.
Datas importantes desse plano:
* 2 de abril de 2013:
** Os comerciantes não poderão mais listar itens de quantidade ilimitada por L$ 10 ou menos usando as Magic Boxes.
** Qualquer listagem ativa de quantidade ilimitada por L$ 10 ou menos usando as Magic Boxes será removida.
* 16 de abril de 2013:
** Os comerciantes não poderão mais listar itens de quantidade ilimitada usando as Magic Boxes independente do preço.
** Qualquer listagem ativa de quantidade ilimitada restante usando as Magic Boxes será removida, independente do preço.
Por enquanto, os itens de quantidade limitada podem continuar a usar as Magic Boxes e não serão afetados. “Quantidade limitada” se refere aos itens dos quais o Comerciante não possui direito de cópia (como animais para criação, que não são “copiáveis” para o vendedor).
No momento, não temos uma data de encerramento do uso da Magic Box para a migração de listagens de quantidade limitada. Após designarmos essa data, avisaremos com 30 dias de antecedência para que os comerciantes tenham tempo para migrar esses itens. No entanto, para evitar a interrupção de suas listagens pela retirada em etapas da Magic Box, o encorajamos a converter todas as suas listagens para a Entrega direta o mais rápido possível.
Para obter mais informações sobre a Entrega direta e a migração para ela, consulte a base de conhecimento. Caso você tenha dúvidas ou problemas, entre em contato com o suporte para obter ajuda.
Obrigado por ajudar a tornar o Marketplace um lugar melhor para fazer compras!

Betreff: 2. April 2013: Plan zur Einstellung von Magic Boxes
Sehr geehrte(r) <Merchant>,
wie Ihnen sicher bekannt ist, haben wir vor rund einem Jahr die Direktlieferung eingeführt, eine zuverlässigere und schnellere Methode, Waren an Ihre Kunden im Second Life-Marktplatz auszuliefern. Um die Umstellung von Magic Boxes auf die Direktlieferung abzuschließen, beginnen wir jetzt mit der gestaffelten Einstellung der Magic Boxes. Sie erhalten diese E-Mail, weil Ihr Laden mindestens eine aktive Auflistung enthält, die immer noch Magic Boxes verwendet. Damit diese Auflistung(en) aktiv bleiben, müssen Sie sie auf das Direktlieferungssystem umstellen.
Wichtige Daten für diesen Plan:
* 2.04.13:
** Händler können keine mengenmäßig unbegrenzten Artikel im Wert von bis zu L$ 10, die Magic Boxes verwenden, mehr auflisten.
** Alle aktiven mengenmäßig unbegrenzten Auflistungen im Wert von bis zu L$ 10, die Magic Boxes verwenden, werden entfernt.
* 16.04.13:
** Händler können keine mengenmäßig unbegrenzten Artikel, die Magic Boxes verwenden, mehr auflisten, unabhängig vom Preis.
** Alle aktiven mengenmäßig unbegrenzten Auflistungen, die Magic Boxes verwenden, werden entfernt, unabhängig vom Preis.
Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt können mengenmäßig begrenzte Artikel weiterhin Magic Boxes verwenden und sind nicht betroffen. „Mengenmäßig begrenzte Artikel“ sind solche, die der Händler nicht kopieren darf (wie zuchttaugliche Tiere, für die der Verkäufer keine Kopierberechtigung hat).
Es steht noch nicht fest, wann die Einstellung von Magic Boxes für mengenmäßig begrenzte Auflistungen stattfinden wird. Nach Bekanntgabe dieses Datums haben Händler 30 Tage Zeit, um die betreffenden Artikel umzustellen. Um jedoch eine Unterbrechung Ihrer Auflistungen durch die Ablösung von Magic Boxes zu verhindern, sollten Sie alle Ihre Auflistungen so schnell wie möglich auf Direktlieferung umstellen.
Weitere Informationen zur Direktlieferung und zur Umstellung finden Sie in unserer Knowledge Base. Sollten Sie Fragen oder Probleme haben, wenden Sie sich an unseren Kundensupport.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe, Kunden im Marktplatz ein optimales Kauferlebnis zu bieten!

Subject: April 2, 2013: Magic Box Retirement Plan
Dear <Merchant>,
As you already know, about a year ago, we introduced Direct Delivery, a more reliable and faster method to deliver merchandise to your Second Life Marketplace customers. To complete the migration from Magic Boxes to Direct Delivery, we’re starting a phased shutdown of Magic Boxes. You are receiving this email because we have identified at least one active listing in your store that is still using Magic Boxes. In order to keep the listing(s) active, you will need to convert them to the Direct Delivery system.
Important dates for this plan:
* April 2, 2013:
** Merchants will no longer be able to list unlimited-quantity items for L$10 or less using Magic Boxes.
** Any active, unlimited-quantity listings for L$10 or less using Magic Boxes will be unlisted.
* April 16, 2013:
** Merchants will no longer be able to list unlimited-quantity items using Magic Boxes, regardless of price.
** Any remaining active, unlimited-quantity listings using Magic Boxes will be unlisted, regardless of price.
For the time being, limited-quantity items can continue to use Magic Boxes and will not be affected. “Limited-quantity” refers to items that the Merchant does not have rights to copy (such as breedable animals which are “no copy” to the seller).
We do not have a Magic Box shutdown date for the migration of limited-quantity listings at this time. After we designate that date, we will give 30 days’ notice so that Merchants will have time to migrate those items. However, to avoid disruption of your listings by the Magic Box phase-out, we strongly encourage you to convert all of your listings to Direct Delivery as soon as possible.
For more information on Direct Delivery and migrating to Direct Delivery, please see the Knowledge Base. If you have questions or problems, please contact customer support for help.
Thank you for your help in making the Marketplace a better place to shop!

Objet : 02.04.13 : Plan de retrait des boîtes magiques
Bonjour <Merchant>,
Comme vous le savez, il y a un an environ, nous avons lancé la livraison directe, une méthode plus fiable et plus rapide d’expédier vos produits à vos clients de la Place du marché Second Life. Pour terminer cette migration vers la livraison directe, nous mettons en place un retrait progressif des boîtes magiques. Vous recevez ce message car nous avons trouvé au moins une annonce active dans votre boutique qui utilise encore les boîtes magiques. Pour que cette ou ces annonces restent actives, vous devez les convertir au système de livraison directe.
Dates importantes pour ce plan :
* 02.04.13 :
** Les vendeurs ne pourront plus publier d’annonces pour les articles en quantité illimitée d’un montant de 10 L$ ou moins utilisant les boîtes magiques.
** Toutes les annonces actives pour les articles en quantité illimitée d’un montant de 10 L$ ou moins utilisant les boîtes magiques seront supprimées.
16.04.13 :
** Les vendeurs ne pourront plus publier d’annonces pour les articles en quantité illimitée utilisant les boîtes magiques, quel que soit le prix.
** Toutes les annonces actives pour les articles en quantité illimitée utilisant les boîtes magiques seront supprimées, quel que soit le prix.
Pour l’instant, les articles en quantité limitée peuvent continuer à utiliser les boîtes magiques et ne sont pas concernés. « Quantité limitée » fait référence aux articles que le vendeur n’a pas le droit de copier (comme les animaux à élever qui ont le paramètre « pas de copie » pour le vendeur).
Nous n’avons pas encore fixé de date de retrait des boîtes magiques pour la migration des articles en quantité limitée. Une fois cette date fixée, nous vous enverrons un préavis de 30 jours afin que les vendeurs aient le temps d’effectuer la migration pour ces articles. Cependant, afin d’éviter toute interruption de vos annonces due au retrait des boîtes magiques, nous vous conseillons fortement de convertir toutes vos annonces à la livraison directe le plus rapidement possible.
Pour en savoir plus au sujet de la livraison directe et de cette migration, consultez la base de connaissances. Si vous avez des questions ou des problèmes, contactez l’assistance client pour obtenir de l’aide.
Merci de votre contribution à l’amélioration de la Place du marché !

件名：2013 年4 月 2 日:マジックボックスの終了計画について
<Merchant>様
すでにご存じのように、約1年前に Second Life マーケットプレイスのお客様により高い信頼性でより迅速に商品を提供できる方法として、ダイレクトデリバリーをご紹介いたしました。弊社では、マジックボックスからダイレクトデリバリーへの移行を完了するために、マジックボックスの段階的な終了を開始しております。このメールは、ストアにまだマジックボックスを使用しているアクティブな出品が1つ以上ある方にお送りしています。出品をアクティブなままに保つには、それらの出品をダイレクトデリバリーシステムに移行していただく必要があります。
この計画の主な予定は次のとおりです:
* 2013 年4 月 2 日:
** マーチャントはマジックボックスを使って、L$10 以下で無制限の数のアイテムを出品することができなくなります。
** マジックボックスを使用する L$10 以下の数量無制限の出品は掲載が取り消されます。
* 2013 年4 月 16 日:
** マーチャントは価格にかかわらず、マジックボックスを使用して無制限の数量のアイテムを出品できなくなります。
** マジックボックスを使用する残りのアクティブな数量無制限のアイテムは、価格にかかわらず、掲載が取り消されます。
当分の間、数量限定のアイテムでは引き続きマジックボックスを使用でき、影響はありません。「数量限定」とはマーチャントにコピーする権限のないアイテムを指します (売り手には「コピー不可」のペットの動物など)。
現在のところ、数量限定の出品については、マジックボックス終了日は決まっておりません。終了日を決めた後、30 日間の通知期間を設けますので、マーチャントの皆様にはその間にアイテムを移行していただくことができます。しかし、マジックボックスの終了により、出品に不具合が生じないように、皆様の出品をできるだけ早くダイレクトデリバリーに変換されることをお勧めします。
ダイレクトデリバリーおよびダイレクトデリバリーへの移行について詳しくは、ナレッジベース をご覧ください。ご質問あるいは問題がある場合は、カスタマーサポート までお問い合わせください。
マーケットプレイスをより良いショッピングサイトにするために、ぜひご協力お願いいたします。

Marketplace/SearchUpdate

With the launch of Direct Delivery, the Marketplace traffic increased and our site has been struggling to keep up, resulting in the slowness many Merchants experienced since March 21. In order to address this slowness we had to make some changes which will be visible to Merchants. When Merchants update searchable terms (listing title, keywords, product features), it will now take at most 5 minutes for these updates to be visible to customers and when Merchants look for listings in their stores. Here are the places you should expect to wait 5 minutes before seeing your update:
* searching from the main Marketplace search (item search, merchant/store search, store search)
* in Merchant Admin, when editing a listing:
** the list of inventory items returned when you click "Edit associated object" will show data that may be up to 5 minutes old
** the listings returned when you click "Add related item" will show data that may be up to 5 minutes old
** the listings returned when you click "Add demo item" will show data that may be up to 5 minutes old
Marketplace overview/pt

= Visão geral do Marketplace =
O Marketplace do Second Life é o lugar para comprar uma variedade surpreendente de itens virtuais, vendidos por amigos Residentes.
== Como funciona o Marketplace? ==
Residentes do Second Life criam no mundo virtual, produtos virtuais - roupas, acessórios, veículos, casas, animais de estimação, o que mais for! - E os colocam à venda no site do Marketplace. Outros Residentes entram no Marketplace para procurar e comprar bens virtuais, usando dólares Linden (L$) ou dólares dos Estados Unidos (US$).
A Listagem das Políticas do Marketplace e das tarifas governam os tipos de itens para venda, bem como a publicidade, taxas e outras diretrizes para o uso do Marketplace.
=== Por que comprar no Marketplace? ===
É muito divertido, e os itens são muitas vezes surpreendentemente baratos! Você pode comprar mercadorias para personalizar o visual do seu avatar e roupas, ou você pode comprar a casa de seus sonhos e colocar em seu terreno - por uma pequena fração do que custaria no mundo real.
=== Por que vender no Marketplace? ===
Para ganhar dinheiro, para ajudar a preencher a uma necessidade que você vê no mundo virtual, para exercer a sua criatividade, ou até mesmo para experimentar novas ideias de negócio. Outros residentes frequentemente fazem compras e procuram no Marketplace maneiras para melhorar a sua experiência no Second Life - não perca!

Marsellus Wallace

Mafia Boss Gains Control of SL Stratics
In an ongoing investigation into the news that a Second Life portal was coming to Stratics, the Herald has learned some alarming news: the avatar chosen to manage the soon-to-be-launched Stratics site covering all things Second Life appears to be none other than renowned mob boss (and occasional Herald contributor) Marsellus Wallace.
----
As faithful readers know, Mars started tearing it up in The Sims Online more than two years ago, under the guise of one JC Soprano. After re-establishing the Sim Mafia in Second Life, Marsellus has mainly kept his nose out of trouble, getting married, plying his trade as a virtual reporter and occasionally providing other services for the Herald. Now, though, it looks like the trouble is about to come find him.
----
The Herald stumbled on the story while looking into the new Stratics and Stratics New groups that were recently formed in Second Life. Both have Marsellus as officer, as the screenshots below demonstrate, and name him as "Portal Manager" and "Stratics SL Manager" respectively ==

Material Volumes

==About Material Volumes==
*The Material Volume attribute for Pathfinding creates phantom objects that can be set to change the walkability coefficients of an area of the navmesh. Walkability coefficients are multipliers that may be applied to the speed of a pathfinding character.
*Pathfinding characters will choose the fastest and closest path available to them. (add video of PF cube choosing 100% walkability path around a MV)
*Material Volumes are visible in the navigation mesh view as transparent purple objects.
*Like exclusion volumes, material volumes must be comprised of physically convex prims or meshes.
Notes:
Because walkability coefficients are a per-linkset and not per-prim property, if you would like a linkset (or the terrain) to have different coefficients in different areas, you will need to use material phantoms. Material phantoms are convex phantom prims (strictly, they are linksets made up of any combination of convex prims) which “paint” their walkability coefficients over any part of the navmesh they intersect. For example, if you have a single linkset house and would like your butler to be able to move anywhere but your pet to stay out of your dining room, you would start by setting the house walkable and leaving the default coefficients at “A=100%, B=100%”. Then, you would rez a box that encompasses the floor and any other walkable surfaces in the dining room, set it to “Material Phantom”, and give it coefficients “A=100%, B=0%”. After rebaking the navmesh, areas contained in the material phantom will be walkable for CHARACTER_TYPE_A but unwalkable for CHARACTER_TYPE_B. 
Important
If you find yourself needing to nest material phantoms (perhaps to provide a more gradual change from one walkability value to another), here is the rule that we use to resolve conflicting values: If a point on the navmesh is encompassed by multiple material phantoms, and one of those phantoms is fully enclosed (in X, Y, and Z) by /all/ of the others, then the innermost phantom’s coefficients are used. If none of the phantoms are fully enclosed by all of the others, the linkset’s /original/ walkability coefficients are used.
