Longer answer: From what I've read there are a number of technical issues with Inworldz which are only magnified by attempting to create a product on both worlds.
The second-easiest solution would be two separate product lines, sharing a common name, but in no way otherwise connected. That would mean FOUR breeding systems instead of the present TWO, TWO "motherships" (this site and the MySQL database which handles the cats). TWO support organizations. Etc.
The desired solution, of course, would be the Cattery and Pedigree be shared. But that presents a number of complex design issues. For example: how would the system ensure exactly ONE copy of a cat exists? Consider sending cat to the Cattery from Second Life, pulling it onto Inworldz with a Dock there, then returning to Second Life and filing a Lost Cat Support Ticket.
Then there's the issue of converting money from one system to the other. And that's complicated by the flaky monetary system on Inworldz where, often, as I understand it based upon web comments, one often must relog simply to see the results of a payment or receipt.
That leaves the easiest solution: don't bother. Which would be my recommendation.
Thanks for replying. The technicalities sound complex!

I don't say you are, just that it's happened a lot and that it's not something people fall for any longer.
And it's not just inworldz, and not just sl.
It happens on the community forums of any successful online game/platform that you'll see competitors and their fans try to badmouth that platform and hail the praises of theirs.
Nothing rude, just a statement of fact.
Open up your own thread if you want to debate that.
And it's a statement of fact that you were rude in your previous comment. Your exact comment alluded to me "luring" folk over to Inworldz. Do you often make sweeping presumptions about people you think you "know" on the net? Yeah, good luck with that.
