Second Norway - A Blake Sea Community!
Second Norway, one of the largest sailing communities in Second Life, is part of Linden Lab's Blake Sea Project, connecting the Mainland to the United Sailing regions, a venue for exciting boat races and a place where all Second Life residents can sail their boats and fly their planes and other devices without barriers, since ban lines have been disabled here. The Blake Sea was the first public - private partnership in Second Life.
The majority of Second Norway contains private residences of many different sizes. Second Norway has a nordic theme (of course). Very few oportunities of commercial land, usually only on request. Be careful with sailing and flying due to the higher amount of residencial areas. Hangars for planes can be rented at both airports. Boat slips are for rent in many different areas.
Over the years, Second Norway has developed several transportation ways: one airport (Airport SNO) covering half a dozen regions, situated right in the middle, and another large airport (Gimsoya International Airport) up in the north.

no idea about the linden version of this bot but when i have encountered these in the past i got pass them by asking "May I speak to a human please ?" the bot than puts you in cue to talk to a person afterwards
that is how boxy works too. I don't think it's such a big deal about it. it usually takes 2 - 3 min to get connected to a concierge. If the bot sometimes is able to deliver a solution to some frequently asked questions then it may help to reduce the number of cases the concierges have to deal with and will cut waiting time for everyone in line. and if not - what's the big deal? wait for a concierge. I don't see how this may cause "heart attacks".

I used live chat earlier this week and actually talked to a Linden. I think the bot is just there to offer suggestions for common questions while you wait for a Linden to be available.
exactly. I don't think it is that bad. If you don't want to interact with botty, just tell him you want to talk to a human and he will shut up right away.

I have always given and received gifts, nothing wrong with that. I would avoid money, but there is nothing wrong with sending or receiving little presents in world. I have a friendship bear for example I like to give and I have quite a collection of friendship bears from several Lindens. Just got one from Wendi last week, it barely fits on my desk 😋
Both Lindens and Moles are doing a great job I think, I am very happy with their support. They are always willing to go an extra mile to help. Another way to gift them is to respond to the feedback form you usually receive whenever you interacted with a concierge. Give them a positive review, I am sure it will help them in some way and they will appreciate it.

The last time we raised our prices was back in 2009. You will find full regions with 20k prim for 14,950 L per week here and with 30k prim they come for 16,950 L per week. But yes, I hear you and I agree with you. I even heard that some estates raised tier for existing contracts which is an absolute no go. A deal is a deal.
We took over an estate in distress last week and we still have some full regions left.
-
You are in world for 13 years - you should know by now that Second Life Users use both terms (renting and buying) when they talk about getting land. Simply because in land menu you will find a "buying price" quoted. Even when it is technically a rental with a weekly/ monthly tier. That is how it is handled. Like it or not.
If this was supposed to be region transfer from one estate to another I would have posted under Region for sale: Full Private Island.
If you need any further help or if you have other questions about basic stuff, feel free to IM me in world and I will happily explain to you.

Second Norway is part of Linden Lab's Blake Sea Sailing Community. Connecting the Mainland to the United Sailing Regions is the Blake Sea, venue for private sailing, exciting boat races and other nautical activity as well as a superb area for pilots in Second Life! This was the first private - public partnership in Second Life, in early 2009. Second Norway has a code of conduct. Please be considerate.
Blake Sea is composed by a lot of sea regions, some come with islands, others are completely covered with water. Since waterways have no ban lines, Blake Sea is a paradise for sailing. The Second Norway community has developed several transportation ways: an airport that covers 8 whole regions, a railway and a network of surface roads.
Main transportation way is by water. There are no borders for navigation. Second Norway's railway is the fastest in Second Life. Air transportation is also important, since there are so many airports and Airport SNO is the largest of all airports here.
Second Norway offers beautiful Islands for rent / sale as well as parcels in different sizes along the road with direct road access.
Come visit us today! You will find us here:

Sansar was born under Rod Humble's tutelage. Ebbe "inherited" it and ran with it.
Now I'm wondering if Tilia was actually created with this acquisition in mind. A preparation for an expected future (now past) transaction.
The end is nigh?
You can stop wondering - just google Tilia and you will find out in no time what Tilia is and why it was created. And that it wasn't linked to Sansar or this acquisition. But of course, spreading endtime rumours is more fun. Why sticking to facts, right?

A product "doing well" is no indication of an investor's intentions for it. Bellisseria has already been put on a temporary hold, they were releasing new batches twice a week and that has all stopped, supposedly because they have "run out of hardware" but this is not entirely the case; there are already a load of SSPE regions already on the grid which have not been touched by the moles in more than a month. The new theme has been announced with not even a hint of a release date. Halting release of Linden Homes when the demand for them is still so high is already a big red warning flag.
Then again, if this news causes many people to halt their premium subscriptions, they won't need so many new Linden Homes after all.
Mainland itself is not "rare". There are swathes of it all abandoned and if you want some, all you need to do is submit a support ticket and Linden Lab will sell you what you want at L$1 per square metre. They'll set it up to sell to you in about 24 hours. That's how I got my current mainland. What IS rare, is someone wanting to offload their mainland being able to successfully sell it at any price. So they give up and abandon it.
The one thing you haven't mentioned is why so many things are on halt, and the main reason for that is that they are up to their necks in work. For once, moving to the bigger office in Atlanta slowed down things a lot for a while. Then they were all forced to work from home due to the COVID crisis. On top of that it's holiday season even at the Lab. I am friends with a Linden who is in charge with mainland development. Over the past few weeks demand for land and other products was so high and also the number of support tickets and requests went through the roof so that they could barely get their regular work done. On top of that, a lot of their human resources are working on moving the Grid to Amazon Cloud. But I understand that right now nobody is interested in reason, as soon as a first one goes off like "OMG OMG Second Life is closing!" all others will join in ... Like I wrote before, I have seen this happening a lot in 13 years and yet, here we are ...

If SL was doing so good as you claim there won't be need to be sold. It's simple. You don't sell your golden goose...
It is only simple to simple people. Facebook, google, Amazon keep buying up the most successful companies around the globe because they match their business profile, because investors think that these companies have a lot of value and because they believe in their future and they see their potential. Have you ever heard that one of them bought a company in distress?

I don't think we'll just wake up one day to an announcement of SL's closure. There will be signs before then; whether the recent development of SL is continued or not, whether changes are put on hold, whether anything new is being developed. @Maitimo mentioned Bellisseria; I think that will be a good indicator too. If they stop releasing more homes that will be a good indication that they are doing nothing more than keeping the grid in tick-over mode until they can offload it to someone else.
It is amazing how people with no knowledge and no business skills at all just make up some *****. Why would it be a good indicator if Bellisseria will no longer be developed one day? It is just one tiny part of Second Life. And once demand has been exceeded they may start a new project. - I stopped developing our open water section back in 2014. By then I had 150 regions. In the meantime I aquired 3 large estates in Second Life and my land holdings are 4 times bigger now.
Since I started with 4 tiny rentals back in 2007 there wasn't a single year in which no crash prophets predicted the end of Second Life. I am here now for 13 years. We have seen good times, we have seen some bad times. Today Second Life is stronger than it was ever before. The land market is the best indicator. Visitor numbers are up by 100 %, sales are up by 60 - 80 %. Go and try to find a full prim region for rent or sale. Even mainland is getting rare. Marketplace sales are up too. Stores in world are selling more items. Second Life is doing well.

Second Life was never doing better. What worries you? All numbers are up and through the roof. Land sales are up by 60% as far as I know. First time in 17 years the Lab is sold out. Sansar is gone. And do you really think professional investors would spend a single Dollar here if they won't have good reason to believe that it's a good investment? I would be worried if they had sold to some no name investors (like they did with Sansar) but these people know what they are doing and they see Second Life's potential. If I had the cash, I would invest here too. Now even more.

There's absolutely no reason to panic. This is a good thing. Second Life is doing very well, Linden Lab is doing very well and these investors have a good reputation and they are known to the Lab for a long time.
I remember when I took over Willowdale Estate 2 years ago. It had 30 regions by then. Tenants panicked, some even left the estate. Today, 2 years later, Willowdale has 220 regions and yesterday it was sold out, not a single parcel left for sale, which makes it the most successful estate on the grid.
I am very positive when it comes to Second Life's future and I think it's best years are yet to come. But if someone feels like dropping a sim - I will happily take it.
