It’s not only that Second Life was less stable and had less features and glitches; the whole content was more primitive, too.

These days, even newbies join SL with a moderately decent skin, and it’s only us veterans that remember the old “rubber skin” which was originally designed by Linden Lab, and plagued newbies for uncountable years. The reason that first skin was so badly designed was not really because LL’s own internal team were clueless; it was mostly because the “Linden skin” loaded very quickly, since it had so little information. Compressed, it merely took some 100 KBytes to transfer — and, to make it even faster, LL distributes the skin with the viewer.

But… well… it was simply too ugly, a sore for our more demanding eyes. It’s thus worth to turn the calendar back a few years and understand how it all started.
