Destinations

[Rihanna Irata]

Hey, i was wondering. Basicly i put my application about listing my cruise on the sl destinations few days ago and yestrday i noticed a linden wondering around my ship so i thought she was here becouse of that. So i was wondering how long time does it take for them to accept and if they deny will i get noticed?

LL does send a Linden to visit the place when you apply for the DG. When I had a blues club (over 1 year ago) Torley Linden (wooohoohhh!!! :smileyvery-happy:) came and stood there for a while to check the place. If I remember well, I think I got an IM saying the club was accepted. But I don't think you'll get any notification if it's refused.

Yeah lol she comd and flyd on the corner of my ship and just standed there for some long time. Did you havy any big traffic at that time?

[valerie Inshan]

Traffic? OMG!!! We've been invaded by 100 to 200 noobs a day for 4 or 5 weeks! LOL. Be prepared to that. You will probably get dozens of new residents landing in your place. Some will come back and eventually join your group if you have one, most won't ever show up again. Just a friendly advice: make sure you don't allow public to rez stuff in your place otherwise you'll find just about everything possible! I had forgotten to check this option in the land's preferences and I remember a morning when I found loads of crap on the dancefloor, from simple boxes, teddy bears to bykes and even a huge camping car!!! :smileyvery-happy: It took me 30 minutes to return all the objects to their owners... Haha, funny memories though!

Hehe lol No what i ment was did you sve big traffic befor they put you on destinations? I was a bit worried becouse i opened just like 3. Days ago and the stores are pritty empty and traffic is only around 2000-3000 so i thought maybe they look at that to.

I don't think traffic is a major criteria. My club had just opened when it was accepted and the traffic was close to 0 before being in the DG. Here are the "official" criteria (pros and cons). Good luck Rihanna! :smileyhappy:
