Examples of old SL

[Jenzels]

Hi,

 

I’m still very new to SL, and I think I’ll be sticking around for a while yet.  I’ve always been interested in the history of virtual worlds, even if I’ve never experienced them.  So I’m interested if there are an examples of what the mainland use to be like say in 2004/2006/2008.  Would LL have preserved some built area as a historic reference?  Or are there scattered isolate plots around the place which somehow avoided the abandon land cull?  ((which would be better, rather than a sanitised LL version ))

When I arrived in SL early 2007 one of the first places I found was DarkWood, many of the prims were placed 2005 and some as early as 2004, it is still very similar to how it was then.
