I think it's worth mentioning that all those basic accounts are what keep rentals in business. In that way, they contribute to the SL economy in a way that is equal to having a premium account.

As people go nuts, trying to claim their shiny new Linden house, vast rolling parcels of abandoned mainland continue to grow. I've seen residents comment that their reasoning is the "community" created by LL. Why not make an attempt to create community where you already are? Meet your neighbors. Create neighborhood events. Have a "cookout." Everyone hides behind locked doors, complaining that they can't meet new people.

The Bramant Island parcel is a quiet, 1024m square water lot. To the east and west are tasteful builds. To the south is a large vacant parcel, with a smaller one to the north. Just beyond the northeastern border is a protected waterway (the markers are visible in the second photo,) perfect for boating. This serene, low-lag island is available for L$4700. L$3900 L$1800 See it inworld here: https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bramant/77/192/21/

Personally, I think someone who is obsessed about how other people are dressing their avatars in a virtual world probably have deeper questions to ask themselves.

You seldom, if ever, see Second Life advertised at all anymore. There are many people who don't realize it still exists. Surely LL can afford a small ad campaign. I occasionally see an ad on the blog of current residents, which is read mainly by people who have already signed up, so there's no point really. I agree that it would be best if the new homes were completed first and a few improvements were made, but a total re-branding and advertising campaign would work wonders, in my opinion.

Yes you can. If you opt out of the new homes, you're still allowed a 1024m parcel without monthly fees.

I know, right?

TPing onto a parcel listed for sale and landing under the water, beneath a sea of island prims. Or into a skybox. Or a tree. Or one that's for sale, but only accessible by a group. Recently, I landed in the giant fake land prim under a house. CHECK YOUR LANDING POINTS. *scurries away in her fuzzy slippers, trying to remember where she left her coffee*

I prefer the gas station coffee anyway. it's cheap and strong here.

Marketplace?

I recently came back after a long absence. I "think" I've finally figured out mesh and given up on my once popular twitter feed (everyone's on Facebook now, go figure!) but there are still lots of great things to learn. If you'd like to add me as a friend, we can sort it out together.

Do you enjoy the sunset over the water, the sunrise over the horizon and water views, but not really the "beachy" type? Then the beautiful Auville Heights parcel is for you! Surrounded to the west, east and south by large abandoned parcels and rising high, overlooking the surrounding area, this parcel is perfect for your woodland cottage, fantasy build or quiet retreat. Parcel can by lowered to become level with surrounding land. The photos below were taken with maximum draw distance settings. This 1024m land is available now for L$2200.

In the U.S., I've always had to provide either my SSN or Tax ID number whenever receiving payment from services online. Etsy, AdSense, Blogmutt, etc. for tax purposes. Income is taxed and corporations have to report it. It's just a fact of life.

Pop on over to the "Mainland Parcels for Sale" thread. I happen to know there's a nice 1024 water parcel there cheap *cough cough*
