I recall this place as being build on, on several levels in a roman temple style. I remember it most because of a sewage pipe hanging from it. Weird find while exploring, that makes exploring fun. Discovering things like this. For that I'm sad it's dumped. I hope the new owner will be nice to it.
Also, roads are not save and are not protected. I have seen roads change ownership and vanish.-

Land prices as a metric has become totally unreliable ever since the standard price has dropped below 1L$/m2. Land barons can only survive with bulk and cheats.
A resident has a life cycle. Noob (free) => clothes. Fresh (land ownership) => house and decorations. Old (explorer)=> vehicles.
The gatcha pokes (poked) in between these classifications. Doesn't mean much. Unless the economy has sunken so low that it makes a dent in the economy. I hope we haven't got to that stage.
We (still) need new residents that stay. -
Land is a poor metric to gage the economy. The amount of owned land is a better metric. There is land owned by people that have abandoned Second Life. So I can't trust land as an indication for the economy.
We can't see how sales are doing but how many cars can you own and enjoy? There is an end to luxury. Clothes sales is a good indication for the economy. It shows new users and shows an increase in trust in the platform, and higher age of the user. Otoh, how many mesh bodies does one need?
The gotcha ban has no significant value. It's sales but in a slightly different form.
Good metrics are new sign-ups and daily concurrency.
Second Life has done better and is slowly going down.
I hope it finds a new hype. 2007 again! -
Q: Will popular games like 7seas be impacted by this policy change?
A: No, because the purchase of bait to go “fishing” is a purchase being made of a known item, and also the fish you catch while playing the game are non-transferable. To be clear, if they are not currently, they must be going forward.
This is incorrect. The bait is a token of a certain value. The transferability of the received price has no impact.
Unless you would like to rewrite the policy.
For instance. Gatchas are not allowed unless you purchase a token and the price you receive is transferable.
Please correct and provide further guidance.
Thank you-

Dear Oz
I regret to inform you that you are not allowed to leave. You are to stay the nerd you are within Second Life for ever.
You broke things (often), you fixed them, you made things better (sometimes).
So, stay. What do we have to do to make you stay? Break things?
Let us know and we'll do that.
And if there is no other choice, Patch has a few sims (regions) that need new names. Make a list and Patch will (be forced) to use them. We won't hurt Patch.
*sigh*
Does sobbing help make you stay?
Don't be a stranger!
See you soon Oz!-

Question- how does one get a boat slip at the Marina at New Port? I understand you have to be a resident, but then what is the next step after, who do I contact etc?
Please visit this website. One of the contacts is no longer active (for now) on Second Life and that's Uccello. About once every 6 months everybody will get evicted and people can re-apply for a place.

I would be wondering just exactly what Vick is afraid of...
Well. Since Tilia is not a registered bank that has to comply to EU privacy laws the fear is a valid question.
With a copy of an ID you could, open a bank account and withdraw credit, You could register a car and use it for bank-robbery, You could address Facebook and claim ownership of my account.
My fear is clearly written out in the documents I have shown.Identity theft

But they can not rethink that because they are forced by law to do so. That's they whole point. They can not decide by themselves to not require this level of identification if the law states they have to do so. And they only have to do so when you process your virtual L$ money into real world currency. If you do not do this, you do not have to scan your ID or provide a SSN for them.
I have no idea what the us law states. I expect it's something similar as the Dutch law. The point is that the Dutch regulations limit the "scan-document" thing and it gives advice on what is possible. As long as Tilia is not registered as a bank it's not a bank and they should limit their request, and still try to stay within us law.
How? I have no idea. That's up to them. If I knew I'd be wealthy.

If you want to read it in English, go use google translate, im quite done discussing this part now
And like you say, if they store your information they are subject to GDPR. GDPR does not mean: you are not allowed to store my information. GPDR puts a ruleset on the way they store and protect it once they are actually allowed to do so.
I'm Dutch
Yay! For the Dutchies!
All I want is that LL rethinks their "scan passport" thing because I think they missed that (and removed posts, in the FAQ thread, that referred that). That's all.I'm a happy camper

LL isn't demanding anything of anyone. Using LL's products and services isn't required of anyone. It's all voluntary.
Any business that is storing my private information is subject to GDPR. When I am using their services or not. That is law.
