Here’s my latest report from the realm of Second Life.
I have figured out the building thing and have built a pretty nice house/castle from the ground up. Visitors are welcome. It’s at Sibine (100,75,54). Here is the SURL.
In order to square off the size of my tract of land, I bought a big tract of land next to mine. In Second Life, your monthly fee is based on the size of your landholdings, so I don’t want to keep the excess land. I have two tracts for sale now. One is a 992 sq. meter tract with a small cabin and one is 4448 sq. meter tract with a smaller castle I built. In furtherance of my desire to create a little neighborhood of grownups who share similar interests, I will slash the prices to significantly below what I paid for them for anyone I know who is looking to get a place in Second Life. Email me and we’ll talk about it.
I also have a 7216 sq. meter tract between my house and those tracts that is not on the market, but I would consider developing it for some sort of a group effort- perhaps a tech bloggers’ gathering place or something like that, should enough people be interested.
I don’t know if it’s possible to build a little “memeorandum” community in Second Life, but it would be cool if we did, and I’m willing to throw in some land to make it happen.
