    SL Land Auctions: Highlights!

    in Mainland

    Posted · Edited by Cedric Brown

    Some fairly nice parcels in Schelton (Adult) are up for auction. Especially this one; http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Schelton/241/244/35 but anything on the east side is nice.

    The market seems static lately, don't see much changing hands when it comes to good parcels. I attribute to high prices and the owner's deep pockets (they ain't budging).

    This will be a tell though on what larger "land baron" has the funds to expand further while the market is stalled. Maybe someone can could actually get a good deal here. 

    Not me, I'm already over extended. And broke 😭   Good luck!     Btw, these parcels cannot be subdivided or joined.

    You made that up.

    You don't get logged out or suspended for having an item returned. Don't ask me how I know. 

    Nope, its true. Root prim was on my land. "Violation: Disturbing the Peace:  Parcel Encroachment

    Residents may not extend or overhang objects onto other Residents land or land owned by Linden Lab without permission."

    This sounds like when a city forbids large advertising signs or billboards and a business parks a big truck on the street with advertising all over the sides. People find a way to get around every rule.

    Yes, thats my biggest fear. I like mainland, but can we foresee a bunch of these "avatars" with large block heads  along the roadways, water channels etc earning their L$1/hr pay like the campers back in the day (back when I should have been learning about those  "Pelvis offset animations".

    So the good news is the Linden Abuse Report Team has vastly improved since I last filed an abuse report ( it took several weeks for action to be taken).

    Today my mouse slipped as I edited an object on my parcel.I mistakenly stretched the object to cover the signage board. 😇 Within 3 minutes I was administratively logged off and an email sent to me stating I have been temporarily suspended from logging into SL. THAT is freaking efficient....and quite pecuiar 🤔

    Depends what you consider a song of a price to be. There is land for sale at L$0.5 / L$0.6 here and there, but rarely along the waterfronts. Waterfront land always seems more expensive, I guess due to its popularity.

    The remark about it being a buyer's market was a year and a half ago. Prokofy has a pretty good perspective on mainland pricing

    is not a binary decision. Is possible to have both, where different things can co-exist

    again Bellisaria, it co-exists with traditional mainland, both of these estate models in turn co-exist with private estates

    major retention of new accounts does need to be developed on a large-scale. Tinkering about with small-scale initiatives during the on-boarding process isn't going to do this. Over the years Linden have pretty much tried every small-scale on-boarding initiative there is. Including shopping malls, shooter arenas, vehicle race tracks, sailboats at the oceanside WAs, building sandboxes, tutorials, L$ grinders like Linden Realms, etc etc to name some. These on top of things like Community Gateways by which residents have provided onboarding experiences themselves to new accounts,. And also things like Destinations to help new people explore

    and after all these initiatives, here we are with what we have. Which is nothing to be sneezed at when resident creatives have been able to cash out about USD65 million dollars annually (last time I looked)

    the thought behind gaining increases in new account retention isn't so much to grow the creator base. Is to grow the customer base of the creatives. Second Life has a ton of creatives already, so this not the problem. The problem is retaining accounts so they become customers of both Linden and the resident creatives. Customers like their experiences to be easy to use and easy to understand.  And the easiest thing to understand (at least in the 3D online realm) after creating the character (avatar and outfit) are games. Games are way more easier to navigate than is navigating social interactions leading to building relationships

    and maybe thats the thing. After Bellisaria maybe the next big large scale estate project will be for gamers. I have some thoughts about how that might be gone about, and am pretty sure Linden does also. Linden did do this way back in the beginning times - the badlands to the east of the then Clyde wall. But at the time server space for land was at a premium which caused settlers to go over the Wall to settle in the badlands and they didn't like getting shot at. So Linden nerfed the badlands all the way down to one region Jesse, as a museum piece pretty much. Today server space is no longer the issue it once was. So who knows, the badlands may come back, and for those who don't like getting shot at then don't go over the Wall

    you're hired
