Age verification is finally going operational. First it's going to be on a grid wide beta on the main grid, the impact of it is something to be checked out.
It's unusual that a beta feature is going to be released on the main grid, but in that case it makes sense. I just wonder what took them over 7 months to get that feature ready; it's something that's going to make Second Life more corporate friendly in the future, that's for sure.
