Rufferta Mainlander Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 You know that The Arbor Project has put up some nice public parks. I'm wondering if any group has ever tried to put up "Tourist Information" centers on the Mainland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethelwine Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The closest to that I can think of are the guided tours you get on Yava pods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufferta Mainlander Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 While the Welcome centers like NCI offer a lot of support and information, and the Destination Guide lists many interesting places and experiences, I couldn't find anyplace that offered what I was thinking about -- a place that could offer a general overview of the Mainland, and lists of out of the way places where noobs could visit without being bounced by a security orb. I feel that there are a lot of "tourist spots" that aren't being advertised because it would not be a good business model - much easier to keep things running if avatars are not dispersed. For example, it was quite a while before I learned about the wonderful network of pods and public- transportation. Teleporting from place to place is fine, but to me it is like visiting the sights of a large city like London or Paris by only using the Metro - you get there, but you don't have a context. I was thinking of putting up a "Tourist Information" center on a plot next to one of the pod routes, but don't want to re-invent the wheel. Any ideas?

CheriColette Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 That sounds useful Ruff...have you approched the land owner/get permission for your TI center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polenth Yue Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 A tourist place would be useful. I like the idea of giving more context to destinations. Maybe having a map of each continent, showing where the recommended destinations actually are. I didn't really understand that SL had a world map with continents when I was new, as getting to places was all by teleporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two small parcels near travelled routes (land and sea) where I've decided to put little parks, but I'll put in low-key Information kiosks as well and see if anyone uses them.

Yadni used to have wonderful maps on his junkyard walls (sigh) showing the development of Second Life. I'm sorry he left Second Life; however, there is an excellent map museum at: New Kadath (36, 32, 21) and a lot of other good resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
