I hail from a part of secondlife that gets its jollies by shooting at eachother. I joined in late 2006 and honestly, it's the only thing that's kept me coming back to Secondlife. Back in yesteryear, pre-2007, most Secondlife Militaries, militias, mercenary and general shoot-em-up type groups were based off of the mainland. Early to mid 2007, most/all of said groups moved to private island simulators. As you can imagine, this has stifled some things in the last five, going on six years now. Fast forward to the present, your only options for multi-simulator combat in Secondlife are the combat sandboxes, which are riddled with griefers,autokillers, and other types of sillyness, and the second interation of the so-called Combat Continent. First one failed due to politics. If the second one will survive the same politics, only time will tell. Which leads to the question. Would linden labs ever subsidize or otherwise support any sizable landmass for combat to take place on with LL Damage? Not really sure what their policies on community assistance is.
