I am so excited, I have already alpha'd the bottom half of my avatar to fit in to the new "Meta' Verse.

It clearly says it's a joke April fools prank at the bottom of the post. It flashed up on my phone did check it out, didn't think there'd be any grain of truth in it otherwise it would be all over the forums if there were

They had me going... until about the third paragraph then I started to suspect it was 4/1 gag.

The real April Fool's would be if it wasn't a joke.

[Gopi Passiflora]

So much for our guarantee we'll keep our legs.

[Bree Giffen]

For a very short second... I was scared.

[Silent Mistwalker]

Right after being purchased by an investment firm? HA! Not bloody likely!

[Ceka Cianci]

I was ready to delete my accounts, then said to myself. What's the date?

Then giggled a little bit ..

It was a close one.. hehehe

[Anna Nova]

Damn, I so so wanted it to be true.  I need more Zukerblob and Glugg in my life.

[Conifer Dada]

I'm afraid this horse fell at the first fence!!

I came onto the forum expecting to see that someone had posted an April Fool topic. 

Straight away I realised this was it !!!

Sorry 😁

I just tried out the new Oculus VR head set, newly acquired by Meta as well.
Oculus + SecondLife all under one roof = ???? Sansar revisited?

Meta don't own SL, the Oculus is unpopular fail-tech, Sansar was an expensive failure, Meta's virtual world was a massively expensive failure.

 

So no, no Oculus + SSL "all under one roof".

In my youth, I did a year in a maximum-security facility in Alabama for necromancy. If you're into necromancy, don't ever go to Alabama.

Just saying.

[Rowan Amore]

Didn't they buy Oculous 10 yrs. ago?
