VMM Surprise…

Well… if you read this blog or any of several others, even if you read only the Linden Blog, the arrival of VMM and the Merchant Outbox ceasing to work is no surprise. But, the forum is full of people that are shocked and outraged that the Lab would make such a change without telling them.

Viewer Managed Marketplace Transition

2015/08/01 by Nalates Urriah

At the Second Life™ Third Party Developer’s (TPD) meeting (7/31) Brooke Linden spoke. So, we know as of Friday, all merchants have been migrated to VMM. Only minor problems were encountered. They are working on fixing those. Brooke and Skylar are working with a few merchants that have run into issues from the migration.

The plan moving forward is to shut down MagicBoxes August 17^th. On that date MagicBoxes will STOP working. The XStreet market, the current marketplace, will come down on August 27^th and they will run solely on VMM.
