Yeah I find both the policy and the way it was 'secretly implemented' both weird and a little unkind. Not having any notification and hiding blockers is just strange. Having the policy at all is also weird. Why, what purpose does it serve to have an actively anti-vehicle policy somewhere? Especially somewhere where there is a wide open lane that looks very much like a sort of roadway. If they want a policy - fine. But why hide it? It feels condescending.

Willowdale Estate was created by Imagin Illyar in 2009 to be something special with professional landscaping and more privacy than you usually get on parcelled land. Today, 14 years later, we specialize in very private, Four Season, professionally landscaped large full prim parcels and Full Homesteads. SEASONS Willowdale offers forest themed parcels that change seasons 4 times a year without you having to do anything at all. Seasons really help keep the land interesting and tenants are able to move and return landscaping items without it affecting the season changes. PRICING At Willowdale we have a strict policy to NEVER change the tier on an existing tenant. This absolutely protects you against a suprise price increase. We do, at times, adjust our pricing to better reflect the market and to stay competitive, but on vacant land only. If you buy land at Willowdale, the price we promise is the price you keep as long as you keep the land.

We never had any issues at all! Staff was always amazing help! I was frequently comparing different lands, as we needed upgrades, and every time staff answered all my questions. We never had any issues w/rent payments or neighbors or any disturbances in any of the lands we rented through you all, and should we ever become renters again, we will definitely return! 😃 Ala Arias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is a waterfall heaven! I never want to move! The tier boxes are all kept together at the Resident Center therefore you don't have to rummage around any bushes you've rezzed in order to pay your rent! ;D I had a warm welcome from the owner, I've had no trouble at all since I first became a tenant, I'd definitely recommend Willowdale, all their sims are beautiful! Quanishia Tuqiri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I finally found Willowdale, I knew that I had found someplace special. The woodland theme was exactly what I was looking for and the landscaping that Imagin had already done was beautiful. Since then, I've never even thought about looking elsewhere. Imagin has always been available for any questions or issues and even proactive in enhancing and improving the Willowdale experience. She is also very good about communicating with residents, whether it's about reboots, sim issues or new services that she is providing. I simply cannot imagine a better place for an elf to call home than Willowdale. Elwyn Nightfire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My wife and I really love it here in Willowdale. The first time we saw the landscaping, we knew we have found someone who shares our idea what nature on a 3D site should look like. Imagin is very helpful and kind to us with our questions, { especially mine! lol}. Might be a little pricey to some, but as I told those who said that, well if you want what you want, you spend it, period. Wolffang and WolfSong Faith ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is the best place I have lived. Imagin puts her heart and soul into her sims and it shows. I live on a sim called Entwood and being a sci-fi/fantasy fan how could I resist? *grins* The landscaping and terraforming is fantastic. I have a waterfront view and am surrounded by trees. My parcel is very private and it is my haven. I can not imagine myself living anywhere else. Sapphire Hissop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant of Willowdale Estates for some time now - over two years I think. I forget exactly. WIllowdale parcels are outstanding... beautifully landscaped with quality trees, plants, water features, birds, but with plenty of room (and LI) to add your home and your own landscaping and deco. Personally, I have never seen an estate where parcels are prepared this way. It must take considerable time and expense, and makes them welcoming even before you settle in. Tenants also get access to several fun areas, such as a racetrack and a glorious beach. But more importantly, the estate owner, Imagin Illyar, is very kind, and VERY prompt to help with any issues which might arise (for example, a region needed a restart due to some SL quirk). I have frequently recommended Willowdale to friends, for the reasons given above. Given what all you get, rents are very low. The rules are logical, common sense ones, clearly showing an understanding of how SL works - unlike others I have seen. Many rules are geared to peaceful coexistence with other tenants on the same region, such as restricting sounds to your own parcel, and keeping sky builds out of view of preexisting builds. In summary, I cannot recommend Willowdale enough. Living there is a pleasure, and Imagin is a wonderful landlady. 🙂 -- Miro Collas Owner, Animations Rising Creator of L'Uomo (male mesh avatars) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been renting land from Imagin/Willowdale Estates on and off for over a year and have had many, many parcels. Imagin has always provided not just exceptional customer service and beautiful, peaceful sims but she goes the extra mile and will always welcome me back like I never left. There is nobody else that provides what she can and you won't find anywhere with the level of support she gives . . if you want it all, it's right here. Don't take my word for it, come see for yourself! Liana Wildmist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can Explore and Experience, all your dreams when you make your home in Willowdale--a luxury region of outstanding beauty and amenities. Come, be happy and flourish ♥ Only the Best, Lady Elicea Igaly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was 4 years myself Landlady in SL long time ago and after I finished this Business I was long time in SL searching for a Home that was near like mine before. Create and work with Heart! I found this Land cause a Friend shows it me and I fall from the first moment in Love. All the Work you did, all the nice things on land, the Creations the Landscaping and and ... Then I met you as a kind and very friendly and helpful Landlady and all was for me from this Time ok. Willowdale Eastate is a Place where I feel realy at Home. My Love VincentRight comes on and saw your Land by me and fall in Love too. At first he rent a plot by you in the next some minutes and told me ..he feel relaxed here and never see such a nice land. Now we are waiting that at my side a neighbour will move that my Vince comes at my side and that we have a larger Land together. I can not change the Plot cause I have my Shop in Sky and you was very kind to let me my small Business setting in Sky. Vincent and me feel here our breath and heart on Land and this is your work Illyar. So - thank you so much for spending your time and hard work in all this and give us tenants the feeling and such a great home! Willowdale is nothing without you. Thank you and we both wish you a sunny lovely Sunday! Your Happy Tenants Caren Jewell and VincentRight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After renting at many different places in SL, my partner and I ended up at Willowdale. I was leary to make yet another move at first and Im'd the owner, Imagin Illyar with about a half an hours worth of questions. She kindly took the time to answer them all and gave me as much service as possible. I found out that she owns and runs her sims all on her own, yet her service is top notch and she responds much faster than a lot of rental places that have people working for them. Goes to show that it's not always how big your name is in SL that makes a good service. After contacting her, I went ahead and rented a plot, it wasn't what I had in mind, because I wanted a corner at the time but was determinded to make Willowdale our home. I had asked that she let me know when she might have a corner up for rent and sure enough, good on her word, she did. So....another move was in store, but we didn't mind because we found our "forever" home with the best service possible! I would highly recommend Willowdale to anyone for not only the amazing service, but her plots are stunning as well. Pre-landscaped and beautiful , you can't go wrong. Stop by and check them out. Azzriell Lyvardi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You will never find more beautifully landscaped sims anywhere on the grid. I have been a tenant here since June 2014 and I am loving it! The customer service has been great, This is my first parcel and Imagin was so helpful in teaching me how it works, and how to set the land! Even when I messed up my terraforming she was there to help me sort it all out and get it looking gorgeous again. She is always just an IM away and I have never had to wait for more than an hour to talk to her. I love this place, and I can not imagine anywhere else being my home. Sincerely, Cyn Surly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve been with Imagine since the beginning of Willowdale, when Imagine had only one Sim. It’s too many years to remember. What you can expect by renting at Willowdale are very reasonable lot prices, wonderful landscaping, and an owner who’s always willing to help if needed. I’ve come to know her through the years, not only as a landlord, but as a friend. Geoffrey Woodget ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have lived in Willowdale for years and can not imagine being anywhere else. To start, the lots are beautiful and private, it feels like there is no one else there. Imagin Illyar designs the lots with flawless taste that will suit any style of build. She provides current grid info in her group announcements and sees to resident concerns quickly and completely. Willowdale living is living in luxury at competitive rates. I love my home in Willowdale. Randy Firebrand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During my time in SL, I've lived in a few places, but the one place you can always rely on is Willowdale. Imagin is always welcoming, and nothing is ever too much trouble, almost day and night. The sims are beautifully landscaped, and has the complete feeling of quality. On the money side of things, Willowdale seems to be one of the few estates who offer 10% discount when you pay 4 weeks. This really comes in useful when paying a months tier. Ryannw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After having several frustrating experiences purchasing land I happened across Willowdale and owner Imagin Illyar. What a difference dealing with a reputable and honest Real Estate broker makes! The Sim is beautiful and Imagin Illyar always responds quickly to questions and requests. Doing business with her has been a pleasure and I highly recommend her. Abriel Baguier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just wanted to drop you a line to once again tell you how much I LOVE my parcel i rent from you. I hopped from parcel to parcel and i think now only death will take me away from Willowdale. You have done such an excellent job and love how you keep us renters informed of LL restarts and such. That is going above and beyond and i just thought you needed to be told again how great you and your business are. THANKS!!!.....signed, One Satisfied Customer Gaytexanboi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, congrats adding another sim. It's fantastic to see you doing so well, and proves quality always wins, especially when you see other estates shrinking. \o/ LoganAndreus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant with Willowdale for nearly two years now, and, I have never been more content! Not only do the offered amenities remain some of the best I have found in-world, Imagin always provides five-star customer service. This wonderful community offers beautifully landscaped lots (and generous prim allotments!), courteous neighbors, and a sense of 'home' that you will find yourself hard-pressed to give up. Don't pass up the chance to claim your own hideaway from the grid. Serishen Cagney ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Living at Willowdale Estates has been wonderful. Beautiful land and surroundings and a beautiful person managing it all. Imagin is completely dedicated to her customers, and this is proven day after day by the frequent sim restarts, the helpful daily tips, quick response times, and general helpfulness is unmatched. Jen Umaga ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wanted to express my feelings about my home on the Shyr sim. I love it !!! The plot I am on is stunning...the best of both worlds with a small lake, and woodland area plus ocean and beach. Beautifully designed. As a tenant you have given me the ability to move around or return the items you have provided but they are gorgeous additions so have kept them all. Living here is easy. Paying tier is easy. I think you provide a very professional level of service and support and would recommend your sims to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you for all you do, Best wishes Alise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am new to Second Life but moved into Willowdale (Athos) just after arriving. It was great as the parcel was already landscaped with tree and plants and flowers and a few discrete objects - like seating and a pontoon in the lagoon all with animations. No problem returning anything you don't need to the owner. Imagin was very helpful and understanding when I moved in. The parcel itself is beautiful... my visitor words, not just mine. It is also a quite private place to live with absolutely no annoyance from neighbors. No complains and Imagin is always ready with advice about how to get the best out of your investment. Highly Recommended. Thanks Imagin Sebastian Alexander (Sebastian24852 Resident) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Imagin, Living four years nearly on Canidae it is time to tell you that we enjoy your wonderful land and the way you have shaped and arranged it. We could realize a remarkable piece of land combining your attractive proposals and our ideas for feeling well and being happy. Thanks for that. Think we'll stay for a long time yet. You are great. Ronja and Guenter Bloch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have rented from WIllowdale for a bit over a year now and my family has longer than that. Willowdale Estate is an amazing place to live, the sims are so beautifully landscaped and decorated and if you want to remove anything to do your own you can just return the items to Imagin. There is always very little to no lag on the sims, even when SL seems to have a rough day. Imagin is a sweet and kind and wonderful woman that is always there if you have any troubles or questions always sending out notecards with helpful hints and always making sure the sims are running smoothly. Imagin and Willowdale Estate are amazing anyone would be lucky to rent a plot of land from her here Very Happy and Satisfied Tenant For Over A Year Joisy Pain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been renting from Willowdale Estates for years now and Imagin is fantastic. Anyone can own sims and sell them in SL, but Imagin goes the extra mile when it comes to not only customer service, but also her artistic eye in land aesthetics. The landscaping in Willowdale is exquisite and offers a level of luxury and privacy not found in other land companies. You will not regret calling Willowdale Estates home! - Luella Gloom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagin has been absolutely wonderful.. always very helpful with fast responses. Always willing to do what she can to make your stay in Willowdale a great one. Her parcels are beautifully landscaped giving your Secondlife a realistic experience. I recommend Willowdale to everyone who is looking for highly detailed beautiful land. MilaHart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is an amazing place to live. The land is absolutely gorgeous, and Imagin is a wonderful landlord. When it comes to breedables, most landlords either don't allow them at all, or insist that movement be off. Imagin just asks that you don't go too crazy with them. She's very understanding when it comes to needing to make a late payment, and she's very helpful if you mess up with the land and need help. She also gives free things for winter landscaping. It is WELL worth the cost to rent land from Willowdale Estates, and I can't imagine living anywhere else on Second Life. Xandrah Sciavo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We've been living on Willowdale Estates land for some time now, and we can honestly say we would not want to look anywhere else for our haven within Second Life. There is no lag, our neighbours are never any trouble, and if there are ever questions, Imagin attends to them right away. The covenant ensures both privacy and freedom to enjoy your parcel, and the landscaping provided with it saves a lot of work while allowing many options. The parcels are also quite beautiful, and there's something for every taste and budget. Bonuses are many, including rent rebates and regular helpful notecard tips. in short, wherever you've lived before in Second Life, you'll probably find Willowdale a vast improvement. I know we do. Leslie Hansome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Imagin, feel and felt here always in good hands . You're always there when you are needed, help where you can and the land will be and remain for me always the best in SL . I'll be back again and again, even the time in which we had a full Sim, even after the year in which I was not online . There is nothing better to live our dreams in SL. Thank you for that all! Just wanted to say it.

Oh certainly. But at Lab Gab they announced this Community Round Table thing with no initial topic or timeframe, at the very time they were concluding that Tilia sale. True, they may have spent the first Round Table on policy change fallout from the recent Medium-rare scandal. If so, I bet they're mighty glad to have another topic about which to engineer ambiguity.

I can not change the Plot cause I have my Shop in Sky and you was very kind to let me my small Business setting in Sky. Vincent and me feel here our breath and heart on Land and this is your work Illyar. So - thank you so much for spending your time and hard work in all this and give us tenants the feeling and such a great home! Willowdale is nothing without you. Thank you and we both wish you a sunny lovely Sunday! Your Happy Tenants Caren Jewell and VincentRight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After renting at many different places in SL, my partner and I ended up at Willowdale. I was leary to make yet another move at first and Im'd the owner, Imagin Illyar with about a half an hours worth of questions. She kindly took the time to answer them all and gave me as much service as possible. I found out that she owns and runs her sims all on her own, yet her service is top notch and she responds much faster than a lot of rental places that have people working for them. Goes to show that it's not always how big your name is in SL that makes a good service. After contacting her, I went ahead and rented a plot, it wasn't what I had in mind, because I wanted a corner at the time but was determinded to make Willowdale our home. I had asked that she let me know when she might have a corner up for rent and sure enough, good on her word, she did. So....another move was in store, but we didn't mind because we found our "forever" home with the best service possible! I would highly recommend Willowdale to anyone for not only the amazing service, but her plots are stunning as well. Pre-landscaped and beautiful , you can't go wrong. Stop by and check them out. Azzriell Lyvardi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You will never find more beautifully landscaped sims anywhere on the grid. I have been a tenant here since June 2014 and I am loving it! The customer service has been great, This is my first parcel and Imagin was so helpful in teaching me how it works, and how to set the land! Even when I messed up my terraforming she was there to help me sort it all out and get it looking gorgeous again. She is always just an IM away and I have never had to wait for more than an hour to talk to her. I love this place, and I can not imagine anywhere else being my home. Sincerely, Cyn Surly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve been with Imagine since the beginning of Willowdale, when Imagine had only one Sim. It’s too many years to remember. What you can expect by renting at Willowdale are very reasonable lot prices, wonderful landscaping, and an owner who’s always willing to help if needed. I’ve come to know her through the years, not only as a landlord, but as a friend. Geoffrey Woodget ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have lived in Willowdale for years and can not imagine being anywhere else. To start, the lots are beautiful and private, it feels like there is no one else there. Imagin Illyar designs the lots with flawless taste that will suit any style of build. She provides current grid info in her group announcements and sees to resident concerns quickly and completely. Willowdale living is living in luxury at competitive rates. I love my home in Willowdale. Randy Firebrand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During my time in SL, I've lived in a few places, but the one place you can always rely on is Willowdale. Imagin is always welcoming, and nothing is ever too much trouble, almost day and night. The sims are beautifully landscaped, and has the complete feeling of quality. On the money side of things, Willowdale seems to be one of the few estates who offer 10% discount when you pay 4 weeks. This really comes in useful when paying a months tier. Ryannw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After having several frustrating experiences purchasing land I happened across Willowdale and owner Imagin Illyar. What a difference dealing with a reputable and honest Real Estate broker makes! The Sim is beautiful and Imagin Illyar always responds quickly to questions and requests. Doing business with her has been a pleasure and I highly recommend her. Abriel Baguier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just wanted to drop you a line to once again tell you how much I LOVE my parcel i rent from you. I hopped from parcel to parcel and i think now only death will take me away from Willowdale. You have done such an excellent job and love how you keep us renters informed of LL restarts and such. That is going above and beyond and i just thought you needed to be told again how great you and your business are. THANKS!!!.....signed, One Satisfied Customer Gaytexanboi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, congrats adding another sim. It's fantastic to see you doing so well, and proves quality always wins, especially when you see other estates shrinking. \o/ LoganAndreus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant with Willowdale for nearly two years now, and, I have never been more content! Not only do the offered amenities remain some of the best I have found in-world, Imagin always provides five-star customer service. This wonderful community offers beautifully landscaped lots (and generous prim allotments!), courteous neighbors, and a sense of 'home' that you will find yourself hard-pressed to give up. Don't pass up the chance to claim your own hideaway from the grid. Serishen Cagney ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Living at Willowdale Estates has been wonderful. Beautiful land and surroundings and a beautiful person managing it all. Imagin is completely dedicated to her customers, and this is proven day after day by the frequent sim restarts, the helpful daily tips, quick response times, and general helpfulness is unmatched. Jen Umaga ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wanted to express my feelings about my home on the Shyr sim. I love it !!! The plot I am on is stunning...the best of both worlds with a small lake, and woodland area plus ocean and beach. Beautifully designed. As a tenant you have given me the ability to move around or return the items you have provided but they are gorgeous additions so have kept them all. Living here is easy. Paying tier is easy. I think you provide a very professional level of service and support and would recommend your sims to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you for all you do, Best wishes Alise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am new to Second Life but moved into Willowdale (Athos) just after arriving. It was great as the parcel was already landscaped with tree and plants and flowers and a few discrete objects - like seating and a pontoon in the lagoon all with animations. No problem returning anything you don't need to the owner. Imagin was very helpful and understanding when I moved in. The parcel itself is beautiful... my visitor words, not just mine. It is also a quite private place to live with absolutely no annoyance from neighbors. No complains and Imagin is always ready with advice about how to get the best out of your investment. Highly Recommended. Thanks Imagin Sebastian Alexander (Sebastian24852 Resident) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Imagin, Living four years nearly on Canidae it is time to tell you that we enjoy your wonderful land and the way you have shaped and arranged it. We could realize a remarkable piece of land combining your attractive proposals and our ideas for feeling well and being happy. Thanks for that. Think we'll stay for a long time yet. You are great. Ronja and Guenter Bloch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have rented from WIllowdale for a bit over a year now and my family has longer than that. Willowdale Estate is an amazing place to live, the sims are so beautifully landscaped and decorated and if you want to remove anything to do your own you can just return the items to Imagin. There is always very little to no lag on the sims, even when SL seems to have a rough day. Imagin is a sweet and kind and wonderful woman that is always there if you have any troubles or questions always sending out notecards with helpful hints and always making sure the sims are running smoothly. Imagin and Willowdale Estate are amazing anyone would be lucky to rent a plot of land from her here Very Happy and Satisfied Tenant For Over A Year Joisy Pain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been renting from Willowdale Estates for years now and Imagin is fantastic. Anyone can own sims and sell them in SL, but Imagin goes the extra mile when it comes to not only customer service, but also her artistic eye in land aesthetics. The landscaping in Willowdale is exquisite and offers a level of luxury and privacy not found in other land companies. You will not regret calling Willowdale Estates home! - Luella Gloom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagin has been absolutely wonderful.. always very helpful with fast responses. Always willing to do what she can to make your stay in Willowdale a great one. Her parcels are beautifully landscaped giving your Secondlife a realistic experience. I recommend Willowdale to everyone who is looking for highly detailed beautiful land. MilaHart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is an amazing place to live. The land is absolutely gorgeous, and Imagin is a wonderful landlord. When it comes to breedables, most landlords either don't allow them at all, or insist that movement be off. Imagin just asks that you don't go too crazy with them. She's very understanding when it comes to needing to make a late payment, and she's very helpful if you mess up with the land and need help. She also gives free things for winter landscaping. It is WELL worth the cost to rent land from Willowdale Estates, and I can't imagine living anywhere else on Second Life. Xandrah Sciavo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We've been living on Willowdale Estates land for some time now, and we can honestly say we would not want to look anywhere else for our haven within Second Life. There is no lag, our neighbours are never any trouble, and if there are ever questions, Imagin attends to them right away. The covenant ensures both privacy and freedom to enjoy your parcel, and the landscaping provided with it saves a lot of work while allowing many options. The parcels are also quite beautiful, and there's something for every taste and budget. Bonuses are many, including rent rebates and regular helpful notecard tips. in short, wherever you've lived before in Second Life, you'll probably find Willowdale a vast improvement. I know we do. Leslie Hansome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Imagin, feel and felt here always in good hands . You're always there when you are needed, help where you can and the land will be and remain for me always the best in SL . I'll be back again and again, even the time in which we had a full Sim, even after the year in which I was not online . There is nothing better to live our dreams in SL. Thank you for that all! Just wanted to say it.

Nuttin new here. This. Yup. Always (and the primary bet). And, along the lines of, "What do you say when you talk to yourself": * I don't run the joint, I remain rooted that my role is *customer*. My control is only where I choose to (continue) dropping an amount of money (amount(s) of which they have complete control to define, whether spending, or being paid). So how many brain cells will I burn off worruh-worruh about this? Well I certainly hope none. * Look at that shiny sparkly thing in the grass - over there *points* - lookee! I wanna go see. The effectiveness of strategy is bedazzling. * Change is uncomfortable. I don't think we can expect changes to occur overall that will benefit us, without some risk that more than a single change will happen and result in a little unknown = discomfort for awhile not knowing where it all settles out. But as we've all lived it for some time now in all lives, we apparently navigated it and today are fine. I certainly hope we are. I am. I will navigate this change. A bit easier for me admittedly, because I have never done payouts. If I chant it will be similar to: I will make good decisions. I will be here - or whatever works with the rest of my good decisions. If I am that stressed, I will diversify my investments of time etc and I will hedge my bets. I don't bet on the sky falling. I definitely don't bet on the sky falling for big corps, SL, or the entity known as Tillia today or any future morphs. Lots of Ifs there like approval, decisions tween now and then, then the five years of using SL to still run the thing while they decide what they want to do with it. But its their thing, not mine. * We can be part of it, or hey, one/more/all of us can "build our own" and be King/Queen. Send me an email when yas do, and I'll take a look. Its gonna be fine. Cos its gotta be.

Since the Waterfield / Oberwager purchase, LL has poured quite a lot of investment in the Mobile viewer and other platform updates (notably, viewer-side, glTF compliant "PBR" materials, and server-side, the most expansion to the scripting library since it started). These may make SL more saleable, or to keep it viable as an operating asset, but they'd be money wasted if the plan was to just milk the cash cow for a few more years. (IIRC it started before the LL purchase, but they also invested a lot to migrate from data center hosting to AWS, necessary to keep the business viable, but also making it more saleable.) Or cause-and-effect might be reversed. Prospects of some Tilia acquisition would have been in the C-suite aether for a while. Unlikely that pushed the VP's out the door but might well have delayed exec hiring until it was clear what's to become of Tilia. (Tilia currently has separate engineering and marketing, right? If Oberwager couldn't sell it off, they'd be pretty much forced to streamline it to legal and operations only, so LL engineering and marketing would need to absorb it.) This is tragedy waiting to happen. Anybody with options to diversify should be exercising those options. Even in the best of times it's just crazy risky to stake one's livelihood on a single game. But now, never mind this Tilia kerfuffle, anybody in any kind of game development must be hunting for AI-immune niches—which will be few and far between in that industry. SL may remain fun for artisanal mesh hobbyists, for example, but what do you really think is going to be producing those fancy future glTF scenes? Will you be prepared to paint with those AI brushes? All about sex To organize some tunes for the paranoia bandwagon, yeah, LL's owners must surely be weighing the future of Adult content in SL because: Payment processing may get marginally messier with only a minority stake in Tilia, unspecified (to us) contractual obligations, and no readily available alternative. Mobile is a dead letter without listing in Apple Store and Google Play Store. I've heard rumors that Apple may admit pr0n, but it's another hurdle to clear. If it's Mobile or Adult, one or the other, that's a hard call. That absurd Medium piece got the gullible so riled up that the Lab is forced to concoct some policy response. What we've heard so far is sleight-of-hand about child avatars—the usual suspects and always a crowd pleaser—so response to any real issues is still vague. So yeah, if I were Oberwager, I'd be considering whether Adult is really worth it. In that position, wouldn't you? On the other hand, Adult content is important as an ongoing market differentiator for SL. It's not something an owner would just abandon without serious analysis.

And to be clear, I would never define this as "sky is falling". In my case, the "sky is falling" group to me are very very small and they rarely if ever post of anything positive, always slice-and-dice everything. That seems to me like the way they "role". Its not fruitful for me, but I am only one reader. They have a right to their opinion, but it is an exhaustive read... which admittedly I don't have to read ever. At any rate, this change may be coming. Glad I know about it. It will likely not be as bad as any list of "bads" we can come up with.

This is not a partnership. This is an acquisition. https://venturebeat.com/games/thunes-acquires-tilia-payments-firm-from-second-life-owner-linden-research/ Any partnership post sale will exist between Linden Lab and Thunes to provide a payment processing for us to buy & sell L$ for 5 years (we have no details at this time, the devil as always will be in the fine print). LL have made a single line statement and made it clear (to Inara) they do not intend to add to the information that's been published on various news sites, and will not have further details for us till May 20th. It's hard to draw any conclusion at this point, least of concerning corporate mood. We have had the same 29 words posted here and on reddit with promise of more details in a little under a month's time. Concerning the single biggest platform change since LL itself was acquired, perhaps the single biggest shift in platform offering in SL's entire history that will impact everyone and everything we do. This is not how good news is delivered. Making it far easier for far flung corporate morality decisions to upend everything we do, as has been done to several other (far more valuable) internet properties over the years, and is currently getting our community booted from flickr. This is not some small policy change or drama. This is a fundamental part of the platform offering now under the complete and permanent control of an independent 3rd party (regulatory approval pending). They bought the asset they wanted. We are not that asset. Nothing we do is that asset. Nor is our existing business the reason they bought that asset. If we were all that, Linden Lab wouldn't have decided to sell the asset to begin with.

Willowdale Estate was created by Imagin Illyar in 2009 to be something special with professional landscaping and more privacy than you usually get on parcelled land. Today, 14 years later, we specialize in very private, Four Season, professionally landscaped large full prim parcels and Full Homesteads. SEASONS Willowdale offers forest themed parcels that change seasons 4 times a year without you having to do anything at all. Seasons really help keep the land interesting and tenants are able to move and return landscaping items without it affecting the season changes. PRICING At Willowdale we have a strict policy to NEVER change the tier on an existing tenant. This absolutely protects you against a suprise price increase. We do, at times, adjust our pricing to better reflect the market and to stay competitive, but on vacant land only. If you buy land at Willowdale, the price we promise is the price you keep as long as you keep the land.

These are popular with people who find a homestead isn't enough prims. The parcels are very private and with only 1 or 2 other parcels on the region you would mostly have it to yourself. We offer 5 different landscaping styles - Forest Cove, River Run, Pacific Northwest, Lighthouse Cove, and Jungle Tropical. These 1/2 sim parcels feature my most elaborate landscaping and must be seen to be believed! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LIGHTHOUSE COVE Our Lighthouse Cove design is split with a stream but will still hold a very large house.

We never had any issues at all! Staff was always amazing help! I was frequently comparing different lands, as we needed upgrades, and every time staff answered all my questions. We never had any issues w/rent payments or neighbors or any disturbances in any of the lands we rented through you all, and should we ever become renters again, we will definitely return! 😃 Ala Arias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is a waterfall heaven! I never want to move! The tier boxes are all kept together at the Resident Center therefore you don't have to rummage around any bushes you've rezzed in order to pay your rent! ;D I had a warm welcome from the owner, I've had no trouble at all since I first became a tenant, I'd definitely recommend Willowdale, all their sims are beautiful! Quanishia Tuqiri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I finally found Willowdale, I knew that I had found someplace special. The woodland theme was exactly what I was looking for and the landscaping that Imagin had already done was beautiful. Since then, I've never even thought about looking elsewhere. Imagin has always been available for any questions or issues and even proactive in enhancing and improving the Willowdale experience. She is also very good about communicating with residents, whether it's about reboots, sim issues or new services that she is providing. I simply cannot imagine a better place for an elf to call home than Willowdale. Elwyn Nightfire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My wife and I really love it here in Willowdale. The first time we saw the landscaping, we knew we have found someone who shares our idea what nature on a 3D site should look like. Imagin is very helpful and kind to us with our questions, { especially mine! lol}. Might be a little pricey to some, but as I told those who said that, well if you want what you want, you spend it, period. Wolffang and WolfSong Faith ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is the best place I have lived. Imagin puts her heart and soul into her sims and it shows. I live on a sim called Entwood and being a sci-fi/fantasy fan how could I resist? *grins* The landscaping and terraforming is fantastic. I have a waterfront view and am surrounded by trees. My parcel is very private and it is my haven. I can not imagine myself living anywhere else. Sapphire Hissop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant of Willowdale Estates for some time now - over two years I think. I forget exactly. WIllowdale parcels are outstanding... beautifully landscaped with quality trees, plants, water features, birds, but with plenty of room (and LI) to add your home and your own landscaping and deco. Personally, I have never seen an estate where parcels are prepared this way. It must take considerable time and expense, and makes them welcoming even before you settle in. Tenants also get access to several fun areas, such as a racetrack and a glorious beach. But more importantly, the estate owner, Imagin Illyar, is very kind, and VERY prompt to help with any issues which might arise (for example, a region needed a restart due to some SL quirk). I have frequently recommended Willowdale to friends, for the reasons given above. Given what all you get, rents are very low. The rules are logical, common sense ones, clearly showing an understanding of how SL works - unlike others I have seen. Many rules are geared to peaceful coexistence with other tenants on the same region, such as restricting sounds to your own parcel, and keeping sky builds out of view of preexisting builds. In summary, I cannot recommend Willowdale enough. Living there is a pleasure, and Imagin is a wonderful landlady. 🙂 -- Miro Collas Owner, Animations Rising Creator of L'Uomo (male mesh avatars) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been renting land from Imagin/Willowdale Estates on and off for over a year and have had many, many parcels.

Ronja and Guenter Bloch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have rented from WIllowdale for a bit over a year now and my family has longer than that. Willowdale Estate is an amazing place to live, the sims are so beautifully landscaped and decorated and if you want to remove anything to do your own you can just return the items to Imagin. There is always very little to no lag on the sims, even when SL seems to have a rough day. Imagin is a sweet and kind and wonderful woman that is always there if you have any troubles or questions always sending out notecards with helpful hints and always making sure the sims are running smoothly. Imagin and Willowdale Estate are amazing anyone would be lucky to rent a plot of land from her here Very Happy and Satisfied Tenant For Over A Year Joisy Pain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been renting from Willowdale Estates for years now and Imagin is fantastic. Anyone can own sims and sell them in SL, but Imagin goes the extra mile when it comes to not only customer service, but also her artistic eye in land aesthetics. The landscaping in Willowdale is exquisite and offers a level of luxury and privacy not found in other land companies. You will not regret calling Willowdale Estates home! - Luella Gloom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagin has been absolutely wonderful.. always very helpful with fast responses. Always willing to do what she can to make your stay in Willowdale a great one. Her parcels are beautifully landscaped giving your Secondlife a realistic experience. I recommend Willowdale to everyone who is looking for highly detailed beautiful land. MilaHart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is an amazing place to live. The land is absolutely gorgeous, and Imagin is a wonderful landlord. When it comes to breedables, most landlords either don't allow them at all, or insist that movement be off. Imagin just asks that you don't go too crazy with them. She's very understanding when it comes to needing to make a late payment, and she's very helpful if you mess up with the land and need help. She also gives free things for winter landscaping. It is WELL worth the cost to rent land from Willowdale Estates, and I can't imagine living anywhere else on Second Life. Xandrah Sciavo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We've been living on Willowdale Estates land for some time now, and we can honestly say we would not want to look anywhere else for our haven within Second Life. There is no lag, our neighbours are never any trouble, and if there are ever questions, Imagin attends to them right away. The covenant ensures both privacy and freedom to enjoy your parcel, and the landscaping provided with it saves a lot of work while allowing many options. The parcels are also quite beautiful, and there's something for every taste and budget. Bonuses are many, including rent rebates and regular helpful notecard tips. in short, wherever you've lived before in Second Life, you'll probably find Willowdale a vast improvement. I know we do. Leslie Hansome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Imagin, feel and felt here always in good hands . You're always there when you are needed, help where you can and the land will be and remain for me always the best in SL . I'll be back again and again, even the time in which we had a full Sim, even after the year in which I was not online . There is nothing better to live our dreams in SL. Thank you for that all! Just wanted to say it.

My take and understanding is that Tilia was spun off as a wholly separate company with a parent company as a major steak holder. I've been there IRL when my department at big company was spun off to form a newer small company. We were fully independent with some board oversight. We did our own thing for a long time, moved from being a small company to a medium to large company. And so, at one point the original parent company decided to absorbed us back into the fold (as it were). By *buying us in a merger*. There was a lot of wailing over that because as the spun off company our benefits package was ***way*** superior and we as employees lost a lot being merged back into the original parent company. Surprisingly parent company kept us mostly whole as our own semi-autonomous departments again. It took me about 5 years to get back to where I was benefits wise, and I would never realize the lost upper tiers of benefits. (but they did bridge my time 'away' so that was bonus). So Tilia being sold off *can* impact Second Life in some ways but how directly impactful will probably be fairly minimal since it is a fully separate entity from Second Life. I could be wrong of course but my previous experience says it's not a wholly doom and gloom thing. We'll see going forward I guess. I doubt that is a real possibility. Tilia (soon to be Thune) will be a 3rd party payment processor. People will buy Linden Dollars (L$) and then spend them on clothes, shoes, houses, real estate, and yes, some adulty thing. People cashing out will have gotten the L$s from sales of clothes, shoes, houses, real estate, and yes (again) some adulty things. But at the Tilia/Thune level of interaction the L$ are never associated with any of that. They can't say "this bucket of currency came from this source, that bucket of currency came from that source, and this other bucket of currency was a mix of the two". They are all just a buckets of currency, nothing more and the clearinghouse/payment processor will do it's thing, collect their middleman fees and carry on. Since there is that insulating layer, I'm not sure how much actual control this new thing will have on a third company. It's not like Tumblr which was bought in whole by a company that then decided to make changes to their property. Second Life is not becoming a part of Thune, or even a subsidiary, as I understand it from my article reading. See my above. This is different in some significant ways from where banks and payment processes have worked to "moralize" their involvement in the adult entertainment industry. They have done this with specifically adult oriented enterprises. They mainly "moralize" it because they don't want to be on record as being a part of a specifically adult oriented business. Second Life is not a specifically an adult oriented business. any more than X née Twitter is. Yeah, a lot of adulty stuff exists on that platform but that not who they are as a platform and so Banks and Payment Processors don't have much leverage or muscles to flex in terms of content or content policy. So long as they can have a PR plausible separation form prurient enterprises, they move money and collect their fees. again just my first thoughts take.

We never had any issues at all! Staff was always amazing help! I was frequently comparing different lands, as we needed upgrades, and every time staff answered all my questions. We never had any issues w/rent payments or neighbors or any disturbances in any of the lands we rented through you all, and should we ever become renters again, we will definitely return! 😃 Ala Arias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is a waterfall heaven! I never want to move! The tier boxes are all kept together at the Resident Center therefore you don't have to rummage around any bushes you've rezzed in order to pay your rent! ;D I had a warm welcome from the owner, I've had no trouble at all since I first became a tenant, I'd definitely recommend Willowdale, all their sims are beautiful! Quanishia Tuqiri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I finally found Willowdale, I knew that I had found someplace special. The woodland theme was exactly what I was looking for and the landscaping that Imagin had already done was beautiful. Since then, I've never even thought about looking elsewhere. Imagin has always been available for any questions or issues and even proactive in enhancing and improving the Willowdale experience. She is also very good about communicating with residents, whether it's about reboots, sim issues or new services that she is providing. I simply cannot imagine a better place for an elf to call home than Willowdale. Elwyn Nightfire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My wife and I really love it here in Willowdale. The first time we saw the landscaping, we knew we have found someone who shares our idea what nature on a 3D site should look like. Imagin is very helpful and kind to us with our questions, { especially mine! lol}. Might be a little pricey to some, but as I told those who said that, well if you want what you want, you spend it, period. Wolffang and WolfSong Faith ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is the best place I have lived. Imagin puts her heart and soul into her sims and it shows. I live on a sim called Entwood and being a sci-fi/fantasy fan how could I resist? *grins* The landscaping and terraforming is fantastic. I have a waterfront view and am surrounded by trees. My parcel is very private and it is my haven. I can not imagine myself living anywhere else. Sapphire Hissop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant of Willowdale Estates for some time now - over two years I think. I forget exactly. WIllowdale parcels are outstanding... beautifully landscaped with quality trees, plants, water features, birds, but with plenty of room (and LI) to add your home and your own landscaping and deco. Personally, I have never seen an estate where parcels are prepared this way. It must take considerable time and expense, and makes them welcoming even before you settle in. Tenants also get access to several fun areas, such as a racetrack and a glorious beach. But more importantly, the estate owner, Imagin Illyar, is very kind, and VERY prompt to help with any issues which might arise (for example, a region needed a restart due to some SL quirk). I have frequently recommended Willowdale to friends, for the reasons given above. Given what all you get, rents are very low. The rules are logical, common sense ones, clearly showing an understanding of how SL works - unlike others I have seen. Many rules are geared to peaceful coexistence with other tenants on the same region, such as restricting sounds to your own parcel, and keeping sky builds out of view of preexisting builds. In summary, I cannot recommend Willowdale enough. Living there is a pleasure, and Imagin is a wonderful landlady. 🙂 -- Miro Collas Owner, Animations Rising Creator of L'Uomo (male mesh avatars) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been renting land from Imagin/Willowdale Estates on and off for over a year and have had many, many parcels. Imagin has always provided not just exceptional customer service and beautiful, peaceful sims but she goes the extra mile and will always welcome me back like I never left. There is nobody else that provides what she can and you won't find anywhere with the level of support she gives . . if you want it all, it's right here. Don't take my word for it, come see for yourself! Liana Wildmist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can Explore and Experience, all your dreams when you make your home in Willowdale--a luxury region of outstanding beauty and amenities. Come, be happy and flourish ♥ Only the Best, Lady Elicea Igaly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was 4 years myself Landlady in SL long time ago and after I finished this Business I was long time in SL searching for a Home that was near like mine before. Create and work with Heart! I found this Land cause a Friend shows it me and I fall from the first moment in Love. All the Work you did, all the nice things on land, the Creations the Landscaping and and ... Then I met you as a kind and very friendly and helpful Landlady and all was for me from this Time ok. Willowdale Eastate is a Place where I feel realy at Home. My Love VincentRight comes on and saw your Land by me and fall in Love too. At first he rent a plot by you in the next some minutes and told me ..he feel relaxed here and never see such a nice land. Now we are waiting that at my side a neighbour will move that my Vince comes at my side and that we have a larger Land together. I can not change the Plot cause I have my Shop in Sky and you was very kind to let me my small Business setting in Sky. Vincent and me feel here our breath and heart on Land and this is your work Illyar. So - thank you so much for spending your time and hard work in all this and give us tenants the feeling and such a great home! Willowdale is nothing without you. Thank you and we both wish you a sunny lovely Sunday! Your Happy Tenants Caren Jewell and VincentRight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After renting at many different places in SL, my partner and I ended up at Willowdale. I was leary to make yet another move at first and Im'd the owner, Imagin Illyar with about a half an hours worth of questions. She kindly took the time to answer them all and gave me as much service as possible. I found out that she owns and runs her sims all on her own, yet her service is top notch and she responds much faster than a lot of rental places that have people working for them. Goes to show that it's not always how big your name is in SL that makes a good service. After contacting her, I went ahead and rented a plot, it wasn't what I had in mind, because I wanted a corner at the time but was determinded to make Willowdale our home. I had asked that she let me know when she might have a corner up for rent and sure enough, good on her word, she did. So....another move was in store, but we didn't mind because we found our "forever" home with the best service possible! I would highly recommend Willowdale to anyone for not only the amazing service, but her plots are stunning as well. Pre-landscaped and beautiful , you can't go wrong. Stop by and check them out. Azzriell Lyvardi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You will never find more beautifully landscaped sims anywhere on the grid. I have been a tenant here since June 2014 and I am loving it! The customer service has been great, This is my first parcel and Imagin was so helpful in teaching me how it works, and how to set the land! Even when I messed up my terraforming she was there to help me sort it all out and get it looking gorgeous again. She is always just an IM away and I have never had to wait for more than an hour to talk to her. I love this place, and I can not imagine anywhere else being my home. Sincerely, Cyn Surly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve been with Imagine since the beginning of Willowdale, when Imagine had only one Sim. It’s too many years to remember. What you can expect by renting at Willowdale are very reasonable lot prices, wonderful landscaping, and an owner who’s always willing to help if needed. I’ve come to know her through the years, not only as a landlord, but as a friend. Geoffrey Woodget ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have lived in Willowdale for years and can not imagine being anywhere else. To start, the lots are beautiful and private, it feels like there is no one else there. Imagin Illyar designs the lots with flawless taste that will suit any style of build. She provides current grid info in her group announcements and sees to resident concerns quickly and completely. Willowdale living is living in luxury at competitive rates. I love my home in Willowdale. Randy Firebrand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During my time in SL, I've lived in a few places, but the one place you can always rely on is Willowdale. Imagin is always welcoming, and nothing is ever too much trouble, almost day and night. The sims are beautifully landscaped, and has the complete feeling of quality. On the money side of things, Willowdale seems to be one of the few estates who offer 10% discount when you pay 4 weeks. This really comes in useful when paying a months tier. Ryannw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After having several frustrating experiences purchasing land I happened across Willowdale and owner Imagin Illyar. What a difference dealing with a reputable and honest Real Estate broker makes! The Sim is beautiful and Imagin Illyar always responds quickly to questions and requests. Doing business with her has been a pleasure and I highly recommend her. Abriel Baguier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just wanted to drop you a line to once again tell you how much I LOVE my parcel i rent from you. I hopped from parcel to parcel and i think now only death will take me away from Willowdale. You have done such an excellent job and love how you keep us renters informed of LL restarts and such. That is going above and beyond and i just thought you needed to be told again how great you and your business are. THANKS!!!.....signed, One Satisfied Customer Gaytexanboi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, congrats adding another sim. It's fantastic to see you doing so well, and proves quality always wins, especially when you see other estates shrinking. \o/ LoganAndreus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant with Willowdale for nearly two years now, and, I have never been more content! Not only do the offered amenities remain some of the best I have found in-world, Imagin always provides five-star customer service. This wonderful community offers beautifully landscaped lots (and generous prim allotments!), courteous neighbors, and a sense of 'home' that you will find yourself hard-pressed to give up. Don't pass up the chance to claim your own hideaway from the grid. Serishen Cagney ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Living at Willowdale Estates has been wonderful. Beautiful land and surroundings and a beautiful person managing it all. Imagin is completely dedicated to her customers, and this is proven day after day by the frequent sim restarts, the helpful daily tips, quick response times, and general helpfulness is unmatched. Jen Umaga ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wanted to express my feelings about my home on the Shyr sim. I love it !!! The plot I am on is stunning...the best of both worlds with a small lake, and woodland area plus ocean and beach. Beautifully designed. As a tenant you have given me the ability to move around or return the items you have provided but they are gorgeous additions so have kept them all. Living here is easy. Paying tier is easy. I think you provide a very professional level of service and support and would recommend your sims to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you for all you do, Best wishes Alise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am new to Second Life but moved into Willowdale (Athos) just after arriving. It was great as the parcel was already landscaped with tree and plants and flowers and a few discrete objects - like seating and a pontoon in the lagoon all with animations. No problem returning anything you don't need to the owner. Imagin was very helpful and understanding when I moved in. The parcel itself is beautiful... my visitor words, not just mine. It is also a quite private place to live with absolutely no annoyance from neighbors. No complains and Imagin is always ready with advice about how to get the best out of your investment. Highly Recommended.

It can be tempting to lower yourself to the level of those around you. For example, if everyone else is cursing / using swear words, one is likely to being cursing also. My own mom started saying the "S-word" a lot after we moved to Texas. Peeve: I am reminded of something that I often quote. I was taught (paraphrased), "If someone criticizes you, why should it bother you? If it isn't true, then it has nothing to do with you. If it is true, you should thank them and change accordingly."

Willowdale Estate was created by Imagin Illyar in 2009 to be something special with professional landscaping and more privacy than you usually get on parcelled land. Today, 15 years later, we are pleased to announce something new - Willowdale Farmland! Professionally landscaped beautiful flat open farmland that is breedable friendly! You can sell your breedables from your land too. This land has a separate covenant from our usual offerings. We are offering a variety of competitively priced sizes - 1/3 sim, 1/4 sim, 1/6 sim, 1/8 sim, and smaller 4096 sqm divided by country roads and fencing. Offered on extra-prim stand-alone sims to cut down on lag. Sky builds also allowed. Finally, breedable land you will want to live on! PRICING At Willowdale we have a strict policy to NEVER change the tier on an existing tenant. This absolutely protects you against a surprise price increase. We do, at times, adjust our pricing to better reflect the market and to stay competitive, but on vacant land only. If you buy land at Willowdale, the price we promise is the price you keep as long as you keep the land.

Even when I messed up my terraforming she was there to help me sort it all out and get it looking gorgeous again. She is always just an IM away and I have never had to wait for more than an hour to talk to her. I love this place, and I can not imagine anywhere else being my home. Sincerely, Cyn Surly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve been with Imagine since the beginning of Willowdale, when Imagine had only one Sim. It’s too many years to remember. What you can expect by renting at Willowdale are very reasonable lot prices, wonderful landscaping, and an owner who’s always willing to help if needed. I’ve come to know her through the years, not only as a landlord, but as a friend. Geoffrey Woodget ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have lived in Willowdale for years and can not imagine being anywhere else. To start, the lots are beautiful and private, it feels like there is no one else there. Imagin Illyar designs the lots with flawless taste that will suit any style of build. She provides current grid info in her group announcements and sees to resident concerns quickly and completely. Willowdale living is living in luxury at competitive rates. I love my home in Willowdale. Randy Firebrand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During my time in SL, I've lived in a few places, but the one place you can always rely on is Willowdale. Imagin is always welcoming, and nothing is ever too much trouble, almost day and night. The sims are beautifully landscaped, and has the complete feeling of quality. On the money side of things, Willowdale seems to be one of the few estates who offer 10% discount when you pay 4 weeks. This really comes in useful when paying a months tier. Ryannw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After having several frustrating experiences purchasing land I happened across Willowdale and owner Imagin Illyar. What a difference dealing with a reputable and honest Real Estate broker makes! The Sim is beautiful and Imagin Illyar always responds quickly to questions and requests. Doing business with her has been a pleasure and I highly recommend her. Abriel Baguier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just wanted to drop you a line to once again tell you how much I LOVE my parcel i rent from you. I hopped from parcel to parcel and i think now only death will take me away from Willowdale. You have done such an excellent job and love how you keep us renters informed of LL restarts and such. That is going above and beyond and i just thought you needed to be told again how great you and your business are. THANKS!!!.....signed, One Satisfied Customer Gaytexanboi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, congrats adding another sim. It's fantastic to see you doing so well, and proves quality always wins, especially when you see other estates shrinking. \o/ LoganAndreus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant with Willowdale for nearly two years now, and, I have never been more content! Not only do the offered amenities remain some of the best I have found in-world, Imagin always provides five-star customer service. This wonderful community offers beautifully landscaped lots (and generous prim allotments!), courteous neighbors, and a sense of 'home' that you will find yourself hard-pressed to give up. Don't pass up the chance to claim your own hideaway from the grid. Serishen Cagney ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Living at Willowdale Estates has been wonderful. Beautiful land and surroundings and a beautiful person managing it all. Imagin is completely dedicated to her customers, and this is proven day after day by the frequent sim restarts, the helpful daily tips, quick response times, and general helpfulness is unmatched. Jen Umaga ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wanted to express my feelings about my home on the Shyr sim. I love it !!! The plot I am on is stunning...the best of both worlds with a small lake, and woodland area plus ocean and beach. Beautifully designed. As a tenant you have given me the ability to move around or return the items you have provided but they are gorgeous additions so have kept them all. Living here is easy. Paying tier is easy. I think you provide a very professional level of service and support and would recommend your sims to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you for all you do, Best wishes Alise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am new to Second Life but moved into Willowdale (Athos) just after arriving. It was great as the parcel was already landscaped with tree and plants and flowers and a few discrete objects - like seating and a pontoon in the lagoon all with animations. No problem returning anything you don't need to the owner. Imagin was very helpful and understanding when I moved in. The parcel itself is beautiful... my visitor words, not just mine. It is also a quite private place to live with absolutely no annoyance from neighbors. No complains and Imagin is always ready with advice about how to get the best out of your investment. Highly Recommended. Thanks Imagin Sebastian Alexander (Sebastian24852 Resident) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Imagin, Living four years nearly on Canidae it is time to tell you that we enjoy your wonderful land and the way you have shaped and arranged it. We could realize a remarkable piece of land combining your attractive proposals and our ideas for feeling well and being happy. Thanks for that. Think we'll stay for a long time yet. You are great. Ronja and Guenter Bloch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have rented from WIllowdale for a bit over a year now and my family has longer than that. Willowdale Estate is an amazing place to live, the sims are so beautifully landscaped and decorated and if you want to remove anything to do your own you can just return the items to Imagin. There is always very little to no lag on the sims, even when SL seems to have a rough day. Imagin is a sweet and kind and wonderful woman that is always there if you have any troubles or questions always sending out notecards with helpful hints and always making sure the sims are running smoothly. Imagin and Willowdale Estate are amazing anyone would be lucky to rent a plot of land from her here Very Happy and Satisfied Tenant For Over A Year Joisy Pain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been renting from Willowdale Estates for years now and Imagin is fantastic. Anyone can own sims and sell them in SL, but Imagin goes the extra mile when it comes to not only customer service, but also her artistic eye in land aesthetics. The landscaping in Willowdale is exquisite and offers a level of luxury and privacy not found in other land companies. You will not regret calling Willowdale Estates home! - Luella Gloom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagin has been absolutely wonderful.. always very helpful with fast responses. Always willing to do what she can to make your stay in Willowdale a great one. Her parcels are beautifully landscaped giving your Secondlife a realistic experience. I recommend Willowdale to everyone who is looking for highly detailed beautiful land. MilaHart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is an amazing place to live. The land is absolutely gorgeous, and Imagin is a wonderful landlord. When it comes to breedables, most landlords either don't allow them at all, or insist that movement be off. Imagin just asks that you don't go too crazy with them. She's very understanding when it comes to needing to make a late payment, and she's very helpful if you mess up with the land and need help. She also gives free things for winter landscaping. It is WELL worth the cost to rent land from Willowdale Estates, and I can't imagine living anywhere else on Second Life. Xandrah Sciavo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We've been living on Willowdale Estates land for some time now, and we can honestly say we would not want to look anywhere else for our haven within Second Life. There is no lag, our neighbours are never any trouble, and if there are ever questions, Imagin attends to them right away. The covenant ensures both privacy and freedom to enjoy your parcel, and the landscaping provided with it saves a lot of work while allowing many options. The parcels are also quite beautiful, and there's something for every taste and budget. Bonuses are many, including rent rebates and regular helpful notecard tips. in short, wherever you've lived before in Second Life, you'll probably find Willowdale a vast improvement. I know we do. Leslie Hansome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Imagin, feel and felt here always in good hands . You're always there when you are needed, help where you can and the land will be and remain for me always the best in SL . I'll be back again and again, even the time in which we had a full Sim, even after the year in which I was not online . There is nothing better to live our dreams in SL. Thank you for that all! Just wanted to say it.

How about this ACLU petition to mastercard over sex work? https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy I'm not being alarmist here. This is not some imagined fantasy disaster, this keeps actually happening and is something I had hoped of all here, you would be a little more informed about. This message is not for us.

Willowdale Estate was created by Imagin Illyar in 2009 to be something special with professional landscaping and more privacy than you usually get on parcelled land. Today, 14 years later, we specialize in very private, Four Season, professionally landscaped large full prim parcels and Full Homesteads. SEASONS Willowdale offers forest themed parcels that change seasons 4 times a year without you having to do anything at all. Seasons really help keep the land interesting and tenants are able to move and return landscaping items without it affecting the season changes. PRICING At Willowdale we have a strict policy to NEVER change the tier on an existing tenant. This absolutely protects you against a suprise price increase. We do, at times, adjust our pricing to better reflect the market and to stay competitive, but on vacant land only. If you buy land at Willowdale, the price we promise is the price you keep as long as you keep the land.

We offer 3 different landscaping designs - Forest Cove, Pacific North West and River Run. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RIVER RUN Our River Run design is by far the most popular, it features an elaborate waterfall area with a path you can follow up to a lookout. It has the smallest flat area for a house. This style is a bit different depending on the corner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Visit the Willowdale Estate Land Store for landmarks: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WILLOWDALE/61/192/23 Our 24-7 sales staff are ready to help! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FOREST COVE Our Forest Cove design will hold the largest house as it has the most open flat land, it also features a lighthouse and a swim area with useable water. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Visit the Willowdale Estate Land Store for landmarks: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WILLOWDALE/61/192/23 Our 24-7 sales staff are ready to help! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PACIFIC NORTH WEST Our Pacific North West design is raised so a house with a basement would work here.

We never had any issues at all! Staff was always amazing help! I was frequently comparing different lands, as we needed upgrades, and every time staff answered all my questions. We never had any issues w/rent payments or neighbors or any disturbances in any of the lands we rented through you all, and should we ever become renters again, we will definitely return! 😃 Ala Arias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is a waterfall heaven! I never want to move! The tier boxes are all kept together at the Resident Center therefore you don't have to rummage around any bushes you've rezzed in order to pay your rent! ;D I had a warm welcome from the owner, I've had no trouble at all since I first became a tenant, I'd definitely recommend Willowdale, all their sims are beautiful! Quanishia Tuqiri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I finally found Willowdale, I knew that I had found someplace special. The woodland theme was exactly what I was looking for and the landscaping that Imagin had already done was beautiful. Since then, I've never even thought about looking elsewhere. Imagin has always been available for any questions or issues and even proactive in enhancing and improving the Willowdale experience. She is also very good about communicating with residents, whether it's about reboots, sim issues or new services that she is providing. I simply cannot imagine a better place for an elf to call home than Willowdale. Elwyn Nightfire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My wife and I really love it here in Willowdale. The first time we saw the landscaping, we knew we have found someone who shares our idea what nature on a 3D site should look like. Imagin is very helpful and kind to us with our questions, { especially mine! lol}. Might be a little pricey to some, but as I told those who said that, well if you want what you want, you spend it, period. Wolffang and WolfSong Faith ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is the best place I have lived. Imagin puts her heart and soul into her sims and it shows. I live on a sim called Entwood and being a sci-fi/fantasy fan how could I resist? *grins* The landscaping and terraforming is fantastic. I have a waterfront view and am surrounded by trees. My parcel is very private and it is my haven. I can not imagine myself living anywhere else. Sapphire Hissop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant of Willowdale Estates for some time now - over two years I think. I forget exactly. WIllowdale parcels are outstanding... beautifully landscaped with quality trees, plants, water features, birds, but with plenty of room (and LI) to add your home and your own landscaping and deco. Personally, I have never seen an estate where parcels are prepared this way. It must take considerable time and expense, and makes them welcoming even before you settle in. Tenants also get access to several fun areas, such as a racetrack and a glorious beach. But more importantly, the estate owner, Imagin Illyar, is very kind, and VERY prompt to help with any issues which might arise (for example, a region needed a restart due to some SL quirk). I have frequently recommended Willowdale to friends, for the reasons given above. Given what all you get, rents are very low. The rules are logical, common sense ones, clearly showing an understanding of how SL works - unlike others I have seen. Many rules are geared to peaceful coexistence with other tenants on the same region, such as restricting sounds to your own parcel, and keeping sky builds out of view of preexisting builds. In summary, I cannot recommend Willowdale enough. Living there is a pleasure, and Imagin is a wonderful landlady. 🙂 -- Miro Collas Owner, Animations Rising Creator of L'Uomo (male mesh avatars) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been renting land from Imagin/Willowdale Estates on and off for over a year and have had many, many parcels. Imagin has always provided not just exceptional customer service and beautiful, peaceful sims but she goes the extra mile and will always welcome me back like I never left. There is nobody else that provides what she can and you won't find anywhere with the level of support she gives . . if you want it all, it's right here. Don't take my word for it, come see for yourself! Liana Wildmist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can Explore and Experience, all your dreams when you make your home in Willowdale--a luxury region of outstanding beauty and amenities. Come, be happy and flourish ♥ Only the Best, Lady Elicea Igaly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was 4 years myself Landlady in SL long time ago and after I finished this Business I was long time in SL searching for a Home that was near like mine before. Create and work with Heart! I found this Land cause a Friend shows it me and I fall from the first moment in Love. All the Work you did, all the nice things on land, the Creations the Landscaping and and ... Then I met you as a kind and very friendly and helpful Landlady and all was for me from this Time ok. Willowdale Eastate is a Place where I feel realy at Home. My Love VincentRight comes on and saw your Land by me and fall in Love too. At first he rent a plot by you in the next some minutes and told me ..he feel relaxed here and never see such a nice land. Now we are waiting that at my side a neighbour will move that my Vince comes at my side and that we have a larger Land together. I can not change the Plot cause I have my Shop in Sky and you was very kind to let me my small Business setting in Sky. Vincent and me feel here our breath and heart on Land and this is your work Illyar. So - thank you so much for spending your time and hard work in all this and give us tenants the feeling and such a great home! Willowdale is nothing without you. Thank you and we both wish you a sunny lovely Sunday! Your Happy Tenants Caren Jewell and VincentRight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After renting at many different places in SL, my partner and I ended up at Willowdale. I was leary to make yet another move at first and Im'd the owner, Imagin Illyar with about a half an hours worth of questions. She kindly took the time to answer them all and gave me as much service as possible. I found out that she owns and runs her sims all on her own, yet her service is top notch and she responds much faster than a lot of rental places that have people working for them. Goes to show that it's not always how big your name is in SL that makes a good service. After contacting her, I went ahead and rented a plot, it wasn't what I had in mind, because I wanted a corner at the time but was determinded to make Willowdale our home. I had asked that she let me know when she might have a corner up for rent and sure enough, good on her word, she did. So....another move was in store, but we didn't mind because we found our "forever" home with the best service possible! I would highly recommend Willowdale to anyone for not only the amazing service, but her plots are stunning as well. Pre-landscaped and beautiful , you can't go wrong. Stop by and check them out. Azzriell Lyvardi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You will never find more beautifully landscaped sims anywhere on the grid.

All righty! Thanks to help from someone (I need to ask them permission to mention them specifically), I was able to modify the melee weapon script so that by clicking the weapon, the player can choose which control scheme they want to use: Standard or mine. Here's the modified script. As usual, I'd love for some feedback on it. Eventually, I'm going to ask questions on what it means to "optimize" a script and how I can go about doing that for this script. But right now, I want to make sure it all works the way it's supposed to. And if it does, is there a better way to approach the situation? I have a way of complicating things more than they need to be. //PREAMBLE: Module Names //Module 1: Defining Global String Variables - Animation Names //Module 2: Defining Global String Variables - Sound Effect Names //Module 3: Defining Global String Variables - Bloodsplatter Object Name //Module 4: Defining Global Variables - MISC //Module 4A: Attack Types //Module 4B: Weapon Safety Variables //Module 4C: Weapon Control Scheme Variables //Module 5: The Safety & Release/Reset Functions //Module 5A: Safety On //Module 5B: Safety Off //Module 5C: Release Controls and Reset Script //Module 6: The Double Tap Code //Module 6A: Defining the Double-Tap Global Vairables //Module 6B: Obtaining the Time the Key Was Pressed //Module 6C: Comparing the Time Between Key Presses //Module 6D: Resetting the storedTime Variable //Module 6E: Double Tap //Module 7: The Sword Script //Module 7A: The Default State of the Sword Object When the Script Is First Executed //Module 7Aa: The Sword's Status When the Script is Reset - It Cannot Be Grabbed and Physically Dragged;

Willowdale Estate was created by Imagin Illyar in 2009 to be something special with professional landscaping and more privacy than you usually get on parcelled land. Today, 14 years later, we specialize in very private, Four Season, professionally landscaped large full prim parcels and Full Homesteads. SEASONS Willowdale offers forest themed parcels that change seasons 4 times a year without you having to do anything at all. Seasons really help keep the land interesting and tenants are able to move and return landscaping items without it affecting the season changes. PRICING At Willowdale we have a strict policy to NEVER change the tier on an existing tenant. This absolutely protects you against a suprise price increase. We do, at times, adjust our pricing to better reflect the market and to stay competitive, but on vacant land only. If you buy land at Willowdale, the price we promise is the price you keep as long as you keep the land.

We never had any issues at all! Staff was always amazing help! I was frequently comparing different lands, as we needed upgrades, and every time staff answered all my questions. We never had any issues w/rent payments or neighbors or any disturbances in any of the lands we rented through you all, and should we ever become renters again, we will definitely return! 😃 Ala Arias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is a waterfall heaven! I never want to move! The tier boxes are all kept together at the Resident Center therefore you don't have to rummage around any bushes you've rezzed in order to pay your rent! ;D I had a warm welcome from the owner, I've had no trouble at all since I first became a tenant, I'd definitely recommend Willowdale, all their sims are beautiful! Quanishia Tuqiri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I finally found Willowdale, I knew that I had found someplace special. The woodland theme was exactly what I was looking for and the landscaping that Imagin had already done was beautiful. Since then, I've never even thought about looking elsewhere. Imagin has always been available for any questions or issues and even proactive in enhancing and improving the Willowdale experience. She is also very good about communicating with residents, whether it's about reboots, sim issues or new services that she is providing. I simply cannot imagine a better place for an elf to call home than Willowdale. Elwyn Nightfire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My wife and I really love it here in Willowdale. The first time we saw the landscaping, we knew we have found someone who shares our idea what nature on a 3D site should look like. Imagin is very helpful and kind to us with our questions, { especially mine! lol}. Might be a little pricey to some, but as I told those who said that, well if you want what you want, you spend it, period. Wolffang and WolfSong Faith ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is the best place I have lived. Imagin puts her heart and soul into her sims and it shows. I live on a sim called Entwood and being a sci-fi/fantasy fan how could I resist? *grins* The landscaping and terraforming is fantastic. I have a waterfront view and am surrounded by trees. My parcel is very private and it is my haven. I can not imagine myself living anywhere else. Sapphire Hissop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant of Willowdale Estates for some time now - over two years I think. I forget exactly. WIllowdale parcels are outstanding... beautifully landscaped with quality trees, plants, water features, birds, but with plenty of room (and LI) to add your home and your own landscaping and deco. Personally, I have never seen an estate where parcels are prepared this way. It must take considerable time and expense, and makes them welcoming even before you settle in. Tenants also get access to several fun areas, such as a racetrack and a glorious beach. But more importantly, the estate owner, Imagin Illyar, is very kind, and VERY prompt to help with any issues which might arise (for example, a region needed a restart due to some SL quirk). I have frequently recommended Willowdale to friends, for the reasons given above. Given what all you get, rents are very low. The rules are logical, common sense ones, clearly showing an understanding of how SL works - unlike others I have seen. Many rules are geared to peaceful coexistence with other tenants on the same region, such as restricting sounds to your own parcel, and keeping sky builds out of view of preexisting builds. In summary, I cannot recommend Willowdale enough. Living there is a pleasure, and Imagin is a wonderful landlady. 🙂 -- Miro Collas Owner, Animations Rising Creator of L'Uomo (male mesh avatars) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been renting land from Imagin/Willowdale Estates on and off for over a year and have had many, many parcels. Imagin has always provided not just exceptional customer service and beautiful, peaceful sims but she goes the extra mile and will always welcome me back like I never left. There is nobody else that provides what she can and you won't find anywhere with the level of support she gives . . if you want it all, it's right here. Don't take my word for it, come see for yourself! Liana Wildmist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can Explore and Experience, all your dreams when you make your home in Willowdale--a luxury region of outstanding beauty and amenities. Come, be happy and flourish ♥ Only the Best, Lady Elicea Igaly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was 4 years myself Landlady in SL long time ago and after I finished this Business I was long time in SL searching for a Home that was near like mine before. Create and work with Heart! I found this Land cause a Friend shows it me and I fall from the first moment in Love. All the Work you did, all the nice things on land, the Creations the Landscaping and and ... Then I met you as a kind and very friendly and helpful Landlady and all was for me from this Time ok. Willowdale Eastate is a Place where I feel realy at Home. My Love VincentRight comes on and saw your Land by me and fall in Love too. At first he rent a plot by you in the next some minutes and told me ..he feel relaxed here and never see such a nice land. Now we are waiting that at my side a neighbour will move that my Vince comes at my side and that we have a larger Land together. I can not change the Plot cause I have my Shop in Sky and you was very kind to let me my small Business setting in Sky. Vincent and me feel here our breath and heart on Land and this is your work Illyar. So - thank you so much for spending your time and hard work in all this and give us tenants the feeling and such a great home! Willowdale is nothing without you. Thank you and we both wish you a sunny lovely Sunday! Your Happy Tenants Caren Jewell and VincentRight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After renting at many different places in SL, my partner and I ended up at Willowdale. I was leary to make yet another move at first and Im'd the owner, Imagin Illyar with about a half an hours worth of questions. She kindly took the time to answer them all and gave me as much service as possible. I found out that she owns and runs her sims all on her own, yet her service is top notch and she responds much faster than a lot of rental places that have people working for them. Goes to show that it's not always how big your name is in SL that makes a good service. After contacting her, I went ahead and rented a plot, it wasn't what I had in mind, because I wanted a corner at the time but was determinded to make Willowdale our home. I had asked that she let me know when she might have a corner up for rent and sure enough, good on her word, she did. So....another move was in store, but we didn't mind because we found our "forever" home with the best service possible! I would highly recommend Willowdale to anyone for not only the amazing service, but her plots are stunning as well. Pre-landscaped and beautiful , you can't go wrong. Stop by and check them out. Azzriell Lyvardi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You will never find more beautifully landscaped sims anywhere on the grid. I have been a tenant here since June 2014 and I am loving it! The customer service has been great, This is my first parcel and Imagin was so helpful in teaching me how it works, and how to set the land! Even when I messed up my terraforming she was there to help me sort it all out and get it looking gorgeous again. She is always just an IM away and I have never had to wait for more than an hour to talk to her. I love this place, and I can not imagine anywhere else being my home. Sincerely, Cyn Surly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve been with Imagine since the beginning of Willowdale, when Imagine had only one Sim. It’s too many years to remember. What you can expect by renting at Willowdale are very reasonable lot prices, wonderful landscaping, and an owner who’s always willing to help if needed. I’ve come to know her through the years, not only as a landlord, but as a friend. Geoffrey Woodget ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have lived in Willowdale for years and can not imagine being anywhere else. To start, the lots are beautiful and private, it feels like there is no one else there. Imagin Illyar designs the lots with flawless taste that will suit any style of build. She provides current grid info in her group announcements and sees to resident concerns quickly and completely. Willowdale living is living in luxury at competitive rates. I love my home in Willowdale. Randy Firebrand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During my time in SL, I've lived in a few places, but the one place you can always rely on is Willowdale. Imagin is always welcoming, and nothing is ever too much trouble, almost day and night. The sims are beautifully landscaped, and has the complete feeling of quality. On the money side of things, Willowdale seems to be one of the few estates who offer 10% discount when you pay 4 weeks. This really comes in useful when paying a months tier. Ryannw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After having several frustrating experiences purchasing land I happened across Willowdale and owner Imagin Illyar. What a difference dealing with a reputable and honest Real Estate broker makes! The Sim is beautiful and Imagin Illyar always responds quickly to questions and requests. Doing business with her has been a pleasure and I highly recommend her. Abriel Baguier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just wanted to drop you a line to once again tell you how much I LOVE my parcel i rent from you. I hopped from parcel to parcel and i think now only death will take me away from Willowdale. You have done such an excellent job and love how you keep us renters informed of LL restarts and such. That is going above and beyond and i just thought you needed to be told again how great you and your business are. THANKS!!!.....signed, One Satisfied Customer Gaytexanboi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, congrats adding another sim. It's fantastic to see you doing so well, and proves quality always wins, especially when you see other estates shrinking. \o/ LoganAndreus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant with Willowdale for nearly two years now, and, I have never been more content! Not only do the offered amenities remain some of the best I have found in-world, Imagin always provides five-star customer service. This wonderful community offers beautifully landscaped lots (and generous prim allotments!), courteous neighbors, and a sense of 'home' that you will find yourself hard-pressed to give up. Don't pass up the chance to claim your own hideaway from the grid. Serishen Cagney ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Living at Willowdale Estates has been wonderful. Beautiful land and surroundings and a beautiful person managing it all. Imagin is completely dedicated to her customers, and this is proven day after day by the frequent sim restarts, the helpful daily tips, quick response times, and general helpfulness is unmatched. Jen Umaga ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wanted to express my feelings about my home on the Shyr sim. I love it !!! The plot I am on is stunning...the best of both worlds with a small lake, and woodland area plus ocean and beach. Beautifully designed. As a tenant you have given me the ability to move around or return the items you have provided but they are gorgeous additions so have kept them all. Living here is easy. Paying tier is easy. I think you provide a very professional level of service and support and would recommend your sims to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you for all you do, Best wishes Alise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am new to Second Life but moved into Willowdale (Athos) just after arriving. It was great as the parcel was already landscaped with tree and plants and flowers and a few discrete objects - like seating and a pontoon in the lagoon all with animations. No problem returning anything you don't need to the owner. Imagin was very helpful and understanding when I moved in. The parcel itself is beautiful... my visitor words, not just mine. It is also a quite private place to live with absolutely no annoyance from neighbors. No complains and Imagin is always ready with advice about how to get the best out of your investment. Highly Recommended. Thanks Imagin Sebastian Alexander (Sebastian24852 Resident) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Imagin, Living four years nearly on Canidae it is time to tell you that we enjoy your wonderful land and the way you have shaped and arranged it. We could realize a remarkable piece of land combining your attractive proposals and our ideas for feeling well and being happy. Thanks for that. Think we'll stay for a long time yet. You are great. Ronja and Guenter Bloch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have rented from WIllowdale for a bit over a year now and my family has longer than that. Willowdale Estate is an amazing place to live, the sims are so beautifully landscaped and decorated and if you want to remove anything to do your own you can just return the items to Imagin. There is always very little to no lag on the sims, even when SL seems to have a rough day. Imagin is a sweet and kind and wonderful woman that is always there if you have any troubles or questions always sending out notecards with helpful hints and always making sure the sims are running smoothly. Imagin and Willowdale Estate are amazing anyone would be lucky to rent a plot of land from her here Very Happy and Satisfied Tenant For Over A Year Joisy Pain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been renting from Willowdale Estates for years now and Imagin is fantastic. Anyone can own sims and sell them in SL, but Imagin goes the extra mile when it comes to not only customer service, but also her artistic eye in land aesthetics. The landscaping in Willowdale is exquisite and offers a level of luxury and privacy not found in other land companies. You will not regret calling Willowdale Estates home! - Luella Gloom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagin has been absolutely wonderful.. always very helpful with fast responses. Always willing to do what she can to make your stay in Willowdale a great one. Her parcels are beautifully landscaped giving your Secondlife a realistic experience. I recommend Willowdale to everyone who is looking for highly detailed beautiful land. MilaHart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is an amazing place to live. The land is absolutely gorgeous, and Imagin is a wonderful landlord. When it comes to breedables, most landlords either don't allow them at all, or insist that movement be off. Imagin just asks that you don't go too crazy with them. She's very understanding when it comes to needing to make a late payment, and she's very helpful if you mess up with the land and need help. She also gives free things for winter landscaping. It is WELL worth the cost to rent land from Willowdale Estates, and I can't imagine living anywhere else on Second Life. Xandrah Sciavo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We've been living on Willowdale Estates land for some time now, and we can honestly say we would not want to look anywhere else for our haven within Second Life. There is no lag, our neighbours are never any trouble, and if there are ever questions, Imagin attends to them right away. The covenant ensures both privacy and freedom to enjoy your parcel, and the landscaping provided with it saves a lot of work while allowing many options. The parcels are also quite beautiful, and there's something for every taste and budget. Bonuses are many, including rent rebates and regular helpful notecard tips. in short, wherever you've lived before in Second Life, you'll probably find Willowdale a vast improvement. I know we do. Leslie Hansome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Imagin, feel and felt here always in good hands .

Willowdale offers forest themed parcels that change seasons 4 times a year without you having to do anything at all. Seasons really help keep the land interesting and tenants are able to move and return landscaping items without it affecting the season changes.

Yes, I called it an acquisition. I said that it evidently was not a hostile one, and noted that it was being couched as a partnership. That language matters -- as does this statement: "As part of the transaction, Thunes and Linden Research, Inc. (“Linden Lab”), the current majority owner of Tilia, have agreed to an exclusive five-year partnership in which, post closing, the cross-border payments company will provide payment processing and pay-outs to Linden Lab, leveraging Thunes’ global network – allowing gamers to pay, and to receive money real-time, in a more cost-efficient way and with increased transparency." And this quote from LL's owner: "It will be business as usual for our people and our customers as we bring Tilia and Thunes together.” Again, it's possible that LL is hiding something from us ("lying"), but this language very clearly suggests to me that this "five-year partnership" includes assurances, or at least the presumption, that Thunes isn't going to demand radical changes to SL as a condition of that continued relationship. Again, in general, profit-making corporations only get into the business of imposing "moral standards" or whatever you want to call it when they perceive that not doing so will hurt their bottom line. What that generally means is that corporations are responding to bad PR or external pressures when they impose such restrictions. The fact that SL is so clearly beneath the notice of most media, even when a series of putatively scandalous allegations have been made against it publicly, suggests to me that there is no pressure upon Thunes to do anything about adult content in SL. Why would they lose and/or possibly destroy one of the few customers that the Tilia acquisition brings with it merely on a whim? That may of course change, as circumstances change. But that was always going to be the case. (Flickr is annoying as hell, but their focus is not upon "cleaning up" their platform so much as it is upon encouraging or compelling its users to move to paid accounts so that they can advertise or host adult content. Adult content is not being removed wholesale -- except in some cases where it is happening in violation of Flickr's ratings rules. There's still no end of nudity, adult content, and outright porn on Flickr.) So far, I'm not seeing any reason to panic about any of this. Time may prove me wrong, but I just don't believe that LL walked into this blindly, without being sure that the sale would not scupper their only remaining revenue and profit source.

So i'm faffing around with a script for OpenSim. I like to slow down avatar speed to something more realistic because, yes, avatars walk too fast. Thankfully OS has an actual function for that but slowing down an avatar does make it struggle with slopes. It's not great going up hill. So my plan was to write a script that if an altitude change is detected while the avatar is walking, i should boost it's speed just a little bit. In order to do this, i had to add a little snippet to my script that actually detects the altitude change but unfortunately today i'm all but lazy. So i asked AI. Here's how that went: Me: Write me an LSL script that reports if an avatar is changing altitude while walking. AI: Certainly! Below is an LSL script that detects whether an avatar is changing altitude while walking. It utilizes the llGetAgentInfo function to determine if the queried avatar is walking. If the avatar is walking, it will play a sound (such as footsteps) to indicate movement: You can place this script in a HUD (for the owner only to hear the sound) or in an attachment (for others to hear your footsteps too). Make sure to have a sound file named “footsteps” in the object’s inventory1. Feel free to customize the sound file to your preference! 🚶‍♀️🔊 Me: lol, that is not even close to what i asked. AI: I apologize for misunderstanding your initial request. Let me correct that. Here’s an LSL script that specifically checks if an avatar is changing altitude while walking: In this revised script, I’ve added logic to detect altitude changes while the avatar is walking. If the avatar’s altitude changes significantly (more than 0.1 meters), it will report that the avatar is changing altitude while walking. Feel free to adjust the threshold value as needed! 🚶‍♀️📏 Me: there are errors in this script, fix it AI: I apologize for the oversight in the previous script. Let’s address the issues and provide a corrected version. Here’s the revised LSL script that accurately checks if an avatar is changing altitude while walking: In this corrected version: I’ve used llFabs to calculate the absolute value of the altitude change. The threshold for altitude change is set at 0.1 meters. You can adjust this value as needed. Feel free to use this updated script, and it should now accurately report altitude changes while an avatar is walking! 🚶‍♀️📏 Me: This works perfectly. Thanks! AI: You’re welcome! I’m glad the corrected script works as expected. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy scripting! 😊🚶‍♀️📏 (The AI in question here is Microsoft's Copilot. I've used ChatGPT in the past to generate LSL scripts but I've found that Copilot is just better at it, for now.)

We never had any issues at all! Staff was always amazing help! I was frequently comparing different lands, as we needed upgrades, and every time staff answered all my questions. We never had any issues w/rent payments or neighbors or any disturbances in any of the lands we rented through you all, and should we ever become renters again, we will definitely return! 😃 Ala Arias ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is a waterfall heaven! I never want to move! The tier boxes are all kept together at the Resident Center therefore you don't have to rummage around any bushes you've rezzed in order to pay your rent! ;D I had a warm welcome from the owner, I've had no trouble at all since I first became a tenant, I'd definitely recommend Willowdale, all their sims are beautiful! Quanishia Tuqiri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I finally found Willowdale, I knew that I had found someplace special. The woodland theme was exactly what I was looking for and the landscaping that Imagin had already done was beautiful. Since then, I've never even thought about looking elsewhere. Imagin has always been available for any questions or issues and even proactive in enhancing and improving the Willowdale experience. She is also very good about communicating with residents, whether it's about reboots, sim issues or new services that she is providing. I simply cannot imagine a better place for an elf to call home than Willowdale. Elwyn Nightfire ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My wife and I really love it here in Willowdale. The first time we saw the landscaping, we knew we have found someone who shares our idea what nature on a 3D site should look like. Imagin is very helpful and kind to us with our questions, { especially mine! lol}. Might be a little pricey to some, but as I told those who said that, well if you want what you want, you spend it, period. Wolffang and WolfSong Faith ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is the best place I have lived. Imagin puts her heart and soul into her sims and it shows. I live on a sim called Entwood and being a sci-fi/fantasy fan how could I resist? *grins* The landscaping and terraforming is fantastic. I have a waterfront view and am surrounded by trees. My parcel is very private and it is my haven. I can not imagine myself living anywhere else. Sapphire Hissop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant of Willowdale Estates for some time now - over two years I think. I forget exactly. WIllowdale parcels are outstanding... beautifully landscaped with quality trees, plants, water features, birds, but with plenty of room (and LI) to add your home and your own landscaping and deco. Personally, I have never seen an estate where parcels are prepared this way. It must take considerable time and expense, and makes them welcoming even before you settle in. Tenants also get access to several fun areas, such as a racetrack and a glorious beach. But more importantly, the estate owner, Imagin Illyar, is very kind, and VERY prompt to help with any issues which might arise (for example, a region needed a restart due to some SL quirk). I have frequently recommended Willowdale to friends, for the reasons given above. Given what all you get, rents are very low. The rules are logical, common sense ones, clearly showing an understanding of how SL works - unlike others I have seen. Many rules are geared to peaceful coexistence with other tenants on the same region, such as restricting sounds to your own parcel, and keeping sky builds out of view of preexisting builds. In summary, I cannot recommend Willowdale enough. Living there is a pleasure, and Imagin is a wonderful landlady. 🙂 -- Miro Collas Owner, Animations Rising Creator of L'Uomo (male mesh avatars) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been renting land from Imagin/Willowdale Estates on and off for over a year and have had many, many parcels. Imagin has always provided not just exceptional customer service and beautiful, peaceful sims but she goes the extra mile and will always welcome me back like I never left. There is nobody else that provides what she can and you won't find anywhere with the level of support she gives . . if you want it all, it's right here. Don't take my word for it, come see for yourself! Liana Wildmist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can Explore and Experience, all your dreams when you make your home in Willowdale--a luxury region of outstanding beauty and amenities. Come, be happy and flourish ♥ Only the Best, Lady Elicea Igaly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was 4 years myself Landlady in SL long time ago and after I finished this Business I was long time in SL searching for a Home that was near like mine before. Create and work with Heart! I found this Land cause a Friend shows it me and I fall from the first moment in Love. All the Work you did, all the nice things on land, the Creations the Landscaping and and ... Then I met you as a kind and very friendly and helpful Landlady and all was for me from this Time ok. Willowdale Eastate is a Place where I feel realy at Home. My Love VincentRight comes on and saw your Land by me and fall in Love too. At first he rent a plot by you in the next some minutes and told me ..he feel relaxed here and never see such a nice land. Now we are waiting that at my side a neighbour will move that my Vince comes at my side and that we have a larger Land together. I can not change the Plot cause I have my Shop in Sky and you was very kind to let me my small Business setting in Sky. Vincent and me feel here our breath and heart on Land and this is your work Illyar. So - thank you so much for spending your time and hard work in all this and give us tenants the feeling and such a great home! Willowdale is nothing without you. Thank you and we both wish you a sunny lovely Sunday! Your Happy Tenants Caren Jewell and VincentRight ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After renting at many different places in SL, my partner and I ended up at Willowdale. I was leary to make yet another move at first and Im'd the owner, Imagin Illyar with about a half an hours worth of questions. She kindly took the time to answer them all and gave me as much service as possible. I found out that she owns and runs her sims all on her own, yet her service is top notch and she responds much faster than a lot of rental places that have people working for them. Goes to show that it's not always how big your name is in SL that makes a good service. After contacting her, I went ahead and rented a plot, it wasn't what I had in mind, because I wanted a corner at the time but was determinded to make Willowdale our home. I had asked that she let me know when she might have a corner up for rent and sure enough, good on her word, she did. So....another move was in store, but we didn't mind because we found our "forever" home with the best service possible! I would highly recommend Willowdale to anyone for not only the amazing service, but her plots are stunning as well. Pre-landscaped and beautiful , you can't go wrong. Stop by and check them out. Azzriell Lyvardi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You will never find more beautifully landscaped sims anywhere on the grid. I have been a tenant here since June 2014 and I am loving it! The customer service has been great, This is my first parcel and Imagin was so helpful in teaching me how it works, and how to set the land! Even when I messed up my terraforming she was there to help me sort it all out and get it looking gorgeous again. She is always just an IM away and I have never had to wait for more than an hour to talk to her. I love this place, and I can not imagine anywhere else being my home. Sincerely, Cyn Surly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve been with Imagine since the beginning of Willowdale, when Imagine had only one Sim. It’s too many years to remember. What you can expect by renting at Willowdale are very reasonable lot prices, wonderful landscaping, and an owner who’s always willing to help if needed. I’ve come to know her through the years, not only as a landlord, but as a friend. Geoffrey Woodget ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have lived in Willowdale for years and can not imagine being anywhere else. To start, the lots are beautiful and private, it feels like there is no one else there. Imagin Illyar designs the lots with flawless taste that will suit any style of build. She provides current grid info in her group announcements and sees to resident concerns quickly and completely. Willowdale living is living in luxury at competitive rates. I love my home in Willowdale. Randy Firebrand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ During my time in SL, I've lived in a few places, but the one place you can always rely on is Willowdale. Imagin is always welcoming, and nothing is ever too much trouble, almost day and night. The sims are beautifully landscaped, and has the complete feeling of quality. On the money side of things, Willowdale seems to be one of the few estates who offer 10% discount when you pay 4 weeks. This really comes in useful when paying a months tier. Ryannw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After having several frustrating experiences purchasing land I happened across Willowdale and owner Imagin Illyar. What a difference dealing with a reputable and honest Real Estate broker makes! The Sim is beautiful and Imagin Illyar always responds quickly to questions and requests. Doing business with her has been a pleasure and I highly recommend her. Abriel Baguier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just wanted to drop you a line to once again tell you how much I LOVE my parcel i rent from you. I hopped from parcel to parcel and i think now only death will take me away from Willowdale. You have done such an excellent job and love how you keep us renters informed of LL restarts and such. That is going above and beyond and i just thought you needed to be told again how great you and your business are. THANKS!!!.....signed, One Satisfied Customer Gaytexanboi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, congrats adding another sim. It's fantastic to see you doing so well, and proves quality always wins, especially when you see other estates shrinking. \o/ LoganAndreus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been a tenant with Willowdale for nearly two years now, and, I have never been more content! Not only do the offered amenities remain some of the best I have found in-world, Imagin always provides five-star customer service. This wonderful community offers beautifully landscaped lots (and generous prim allotments!), courteous neighbors, and a sense of 'home' that you will find yourself hard-pressed to give up. Don't pass up the chance to claim your own hideaway from the grid. Serishen Cagney ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Living at Willowdale Estates has been wonderful. Beautiful land and surroundings and a beautiful person managing it all. Imagin is completely dedicated to her customers, and this is proven day after day by the frequent sim restarts, the helpful daily tips, quick response times, and general helpfulness is unmatched. Jen Umaga ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wanted to express my feelings about my home on the Shyr sim. I love it !!! The plot I am on is stunning...the best of both worlds with a small lake, and woodland area plus ocean and beach. Beautifully designed. As a tenant you have given me the ability to move around or return the items you have provided but they are gorgeous additions so have kept them all. Living here is easy. Paying tier is easy. I think you provide a very professional level of service and support and would recommend your sims to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you for all you do, Best wishes Alise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am new to Second Life but moved into Willowdale (Athos) just after arriving. It was great as the parcel was already landscaped with tree and plants and flowers and a few discrete objects - like seating and a pontoon in the lagoon all with animations. No problem returning anything you don't need to the owner. Imagin was very helpful and understanding when I moved in. The parcel itself is beautiful... my visitor words, not just mine. It is also a quite private place to live with absolutely no annoyance from neighbors. No complains and Imagin is always ready with advice about how to get the best out of your investment. Highly Recommended. Thanks Imagin Sebastian Alexander (Sebastian24852 Resident) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Imagin, Living four years nearly on Canidae it is time to tell you that we enjoy your wonderful land and the way you have shaped and arranged it. We could realize a remarkable piece of land combining your attractive proposals and our ideas for feeling well and being happy. Thanks for that. Think we'll stay for a long time yet. You are great. Ronja and Guenter Bloch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have rented from WIllowdale for a bit over a year now and my family has longer than that. Willowdale Estate is an amazing place to live, the sims are so beautifully landscaped and decorated and if you want to remove anything to do your own you can just return the items to Imagin. There is always very little to no lag on the sims, even when SL seems to have a rough day. Imagin is a sweet and kind and wonderful woman that is always there if you have any troubles or questions always sending out notecards with helpful hints and always making sure the sims are running smoothly. Imagin and Willowdale Estate are amazing anyone would be lucky to rent a plot of land from her here Very Happy and Satisfied Tenant For Over A Year Joisy Pain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been renting from Willowdale Estates for years now and Imagin is fantastic. Anyone can own sims and sell them in SL, but Imagin goes the extra mile when it comes to not only customer service, but also her artistic eye in land aesthetics. The landscaping in Willowdale is exquisite and offers a level of luxury and privacy not found in other land companies. You will not regret calling Willowdale Estates home! - Luella Gloom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagin has been absolutely wonderful.. always very helpful with fast responses. Always willing to do what she can to make your stay in Willowdale a great one. Her parcels are beautifully landscaped giving your Secondlife a realistic experience. I recommend Willowdale to everyone who is looking for highly detailed beautiful land. MilaHart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willowdale is an amazing place to live. The land is absolutely gorgeous, and Imagin is a wonderful landlord. When it comes to breedables, most landlords either don't allow them at all, or insist that movement be off. Imagin just asks that you don't go too crazy with them. She's very understanding when it comes to needing to make a late payment, and she's very helpful if you mess up with the land and need help. She also gives free things for winter landscaping. It is WELL worth the cost to rent land from Willowdale Estates, and I can't imagine living anywhere else on Second Life. Xandrah Sciavo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We've been living on Willowdale Estates land for some time now, and we can honestly say we would not want to look anywhere else for our haven within Second Life. There is no lag, our neighbours are never any trouble, and if there are ever questions, Imagin attends to them right away. The covenant ensures both privacy and freedom to enjoy your parcel, and the landscaping provided with it saves a lot of work while allowing many options. The parcels are also quite beautiful, and there's something for every taste and budget. Bonuses are many, including rent rebates and regular helpful notecard tips. in short, wherever you've lived before in Second Life, you'll probably find Willowdale a vast improvement. I know we do. Leslie Hansome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Imagin, feel and felt here always in good hands . You're always there when you are needed, help where you can and the land will be and remain for me always the best in SL . I'll be back again and again, even the time in which we had a full Sim, even after the year in which I was not online . There is nothing better to live our dreams in SL. Thank you for that all!

Heyla and good evening! So I'm not the biggest fan of first person mode, otherwise known as mouselook mode on SL. Unfortunately, every melee weapon script I've found tends to only be truly effective in mouselook mode, as it requires you to hold the left mouse button down while also pressing the directional keys to swing the weapon. In third person mode, you need that button for mouse steering, or movement will be awkward. Because I haven't been able to find a script that made the use of melee weapons in third person mode viable, I decided to mess around with a freebie melee weapon script and see if I can find something that works. And I think I did. In third person mode, instead of holding down the left mouse button in combination with the directional keys to activate the weapon swings, the player will hold down the forward button in conjunction with the left, right, and back movement buttons to swing the weapon. The left mouse button, of course, is reserved for mouse steering. It wasn't my first choice of key combos. I wanted to hold down the right mouse button instead of the left mouse button to activate the swings in third person mode, but the right mouse button isn't available (unless that's changed since last I checked?). Anyhow, I thought I'd post the modified script on here and get some feedback on how the controls feel in third person, see if there are any tweaks and suggestions you all might have to make third person melee combat a viable option for those who hate being in mouselook mode. I do want to make note of the fact that I am very much a newbie in scripting. I know just enough to get by and am using what I learned in my QBASIC class over 20 years ago to organize things to the best of my ability. This is not going to be a brilliant script by any means. If you have suggestions to make this into something good enough to be passed around to others who could use it, I'm definitely all ears. Thanks for reading and your feedback, Keeper S. Karu (KeeperS Karu) P.S. Contact me in-world for a copy of the dummy melee weapon if you don't want to mess with putting something together. It's put together with my own animations and ready for playing around with. The Controls: Forward Double-Tapped --> Forward Strike Forward + Left --> Left Strike Forward + Left Double-Tapped --> Alternate Left Strike Forward + Right --> Right Strike Forward + Right Double-Tapped --> Alternate Right Strike Forward + Back --> My dummy weapon uses a kick animation for this one; could probably use another strike animation for this Forward + Back Double-Tapped --> Uh, I didn't realize I never took that into account; might be my first tweak to the script Tweak 1: Forward + Back --> Forward Strike Forward + Back Double-Tapped --> Kick The Script (Tweak 1): //PREAMBLE: Module Names //Module 1: Defining Global String Variables - Animation Names //Module 2: Defining Global String Variables - Sound Effect Names //Module 3: Defining Global String Variables - Bloodsplatter Object Name //Module 4: Defining Global Integer Variables - Attack Types //Module 5: The Double Tap Code //Module 5A: Defining the Double-Tap Global Vairables //Module 5B: Obtaining the Time the Key Was Pressed //Module 5C: Comparing the Time Between Key Presses //Module 5D: Resetting the storedTime Variable //Module 5E: Double Tap //Module 6: The Sword Script //Module 6A: The Default State of the Sword Object When the Script Is First Executed //Module 6a: The Sword's Status When the Script is Reset - It Cannot Be Grabbed and Physically Dragged //Module 6b: Actions to Take When the Sword is Attached and Detached From the Avatar //Module 6c: If Permission Has Been Given, Take Over Keyboard Functions //Module 6d: Defining the Keyboard Controls //Module 6e: Actions to Perform When the Timer Event is Triggered //Module 6f: Actions to Perform if There's a Valid Target within the Predefined Sensor Range //Module 1: Defining Global String Variables - Animation Names string fwdanim = "overhead_strike_exaggerated";

I don't need to drive on Stilt Piers. There are plenty of roads elsewhere and attachable (e.g. SLegWay) or no-wheels (e.g. D-Lab Air Truck) vehicles do operate on piers. Here's the thing. In this virtual world, we have grown to expect that surfaces that appear drivable are actually drivable. This is the case for Houseboat docks and Sakura sidewalks. Even the Victorian Community Center sidewalks are drivable. LDPW has been very good about putting up visual indicators such as steps or bollards to discourage road vehicles, while possibly allowing vehicles such as bicycles and skateboards. However, the Stilt Piers employ mesh-based transparent blockers located on the 90-degree bends. Years ago when my bike hit one, I thought it had to be a bug. In places where a pier intersects a road, there are visual indications that road traffic should not enter. But for the new resident, they see no such indicators when they rez a bike in their new parcel and attempt to go for a bike ride. I would have constructed the piers in a fashion similar to the Houseboat docks. When Linden Lab policy is to allow no vehicles of any type, I would have simply said that on a sign in addition to steps and bollards.

I wasn't going to comment again if not directly mentioned with need to... but then I saw LavenaKydd shared her story and personal experience with the BossLady and original poster of this thread... and I wasn't going to read it, but my brain kept steering my eyes back to it and so I read it. Most of it being person experience and perspective I feel no need to comment on but these quotes stuck out to me. I know there are those who'll disagree with me and feel they have experienced proof that what I'm about to say is "wrong" ... in that same vein, what I have experienced can likewise be called proof that what I'm about to say is "right"/spot-on. People don't make other people change their emotional state. They don't reach into your mind and body against your freewill to make you think and feel the things you think and feel. You cried because the things you thought about her guilt-tripping you upset you to tears (also possibly a little bit the tears, as they're biologically designed for, helped to reduce the stress level of the moment/s.) In this way, I absolutely believe BossLady traumatized herself over the "lazy, ungrateful" employees and absolutely needs to heal that stuff-- though healing it, as with most emotional baggage in the spectrum of fear, woe, and anger, has more to do with learning how to pivot your own thought-trains and thus your emotional responses so that "traumatizing" events can be experienced in other ways.. in other emotional channels of experience besides the traumatic. So, I also feel inclined to say she didn't make you feel bad, your thoughts about her efforts of making you feel bad, made you feel bad-- because I don't really get the sense you REALLY believed her, even if she did successfully make you question yourself and "meet her halfway" in the paying her back the 1k L$'s. Peoples engagements with each other are exchanges of energy no matter how you slice it, and none of us has control over another's energy unless they allow it-- which does often happen unintentionally because there's no intent or purpose otherwise so there's an opening, so to speak, that gets filled with past patterns. Which is to say, if you're not actively practicing the perspectives and beingness you WANT to have and be, then you'll fall into what can be called "power dramas" where it's generally either a straight out tug-of-war type interactive of who's right/more-right or a surrender of one to the power-mongering of the other (which I sense is kinda what happened with you two.) Which brings me to the next quote... One of the easiest ways to not be compatible with power-drama peoples is to know All Truths Are True and have the willingness to allow someone their truth without taking it on yourself. Yes, without good practice or natural adeptness to it, it can be considered way easier said than done-- to allow a truth you fundamentally don't agree with or feel is NOT true, while also keeping your focus on what you DO agree with and feel is true for yourself. e.g. "I can tell YOU (BossLady) don't think my RL promotion is reason to celebrate and a forgivable reason for missing the event, but I do. I think it's time we part ways, thanks for the clarity!" She can keep her "self-centered" power and you can keep your celebratory vibe! Well, in the aftermath now.... it's never too late to change your mind about anything you want to experience differently! Past events included! Anyroad, I also think it's waaaaay out of line to say she IS evil and makes me wonder if you've ever actually crossed or engaged someone so far on the service-to-self spectrum they ooze "evil" by all current standards of our use of the word. Furthermore, to say "she never" implies that you know her in a 24-7 capacity and considering that your own recount of events says you weren't online near as much as she, saying such just puts you in the same assumptive & personally attacking state of a hurt person as she. All that aside, I think you asked some good legit questions in your post, and though I don't think she'll come back here and answer them, a part of me is a little curious of her answers and whether or not she'd be willing/able to answer them without attacking you/your character(personhood) back. In conclusion, I genuinely wish you all forgiveness as you need it, and happiness and fun as much as you can manage-- in both worlds! That's my 3 cents! RemmyHun
