Well, apparently it isn't, so who has photos of the new build?

I hope this is ok to post a link, but I have 59 photos on my blog post from my visit(s)

(I stumbled upon this thread because I too wondered what happened to Drune. And then I found the current iteration at ground level so thought the OP might like to know, even though it is an old thread)

For once, It probably was worth reviving an old thread, but that's not going to stop me from locking it, to prevent the otherwise inevitable outcome.

It's a shame that this is necessary. 😔

[Drune is gone :(((( Why Linden Lab. can't keep it going?]

Zee's new build is an amazing take on Blade Runner. It's located at the Cloud Lake sim. 

Down at ground level there is a post-apocalyptic version of Drune that is all overgrown with vines and vegetation. 

I don't think Drune was ever intended to be anything fixed and immutable. 

edit: And a few months ago there was a version of Drune based around Giger's "Alien", also at Cloud Lake. 

 

 

[I tried to sell $ 10,000 Linden but I have not been credited the $ why?]

Perhaps the price you are wanting for your L$ is too high if you are selling on LindeX?

 

I recently wrote a blog entry on buying and selling L$ on the LindeX. Maybe it will be of help to you...

Hope that helps!

[How is my Lindens saying -1 dollar when i had more? I thought you could only use what you have?]

Often this means that there is a problem at the Linden Lab server end and it has not been possible to retrieve your L$ balance. Try logging out, closing your Viewer, and then logging  in again.

Very often it is a temporary fault and does not mean your L$ have gone.

[How long does a limit buy order take?]

It very much depends on the price you set.

 

You might find this blog article I wrote useful, as it is about exactly this.

[Mesh Clothing - Do you design for STANDARD AVIE or STANDARD SIZING?]

Thank you, Max, that was a really good post.

I think many of us are completely against the whole idea of being forced to change our shapes to conform to Fashion Designers' definition of 'normal' or 'standard'. I can understand the rationalle and necessity of it as a workaround, but I am still fundamentally opposed to the concept of it.

Second Life is about being who you wish to be and look how you wish to look, and it would be a great shame if the unholy workaround of Standard Sizes were to be anything other than a transient bodge just like Emerald's hacky multi attach points were. This is not something we want to have to endure long term.

I explored this a litte more in a recent blog post I made and why I genuinely believe that the Parametric Deformer is very important and why the idea of Standard Sizing has very negative ramifications, although I'm not sure how much it adds to your excellent post.

[oh crap, I deleted my friends house by mistake, can she get it back?]

A little late to the party, I know, but this could maybe help others. I recently blogged on exactly this topic and how to recover from it.

In your case you'd need to get your friend's house back in order to fix it, or else get them to do it.
