In the Prokofy Neva blog, Second Thoughts, she goes off on unmanned vehicles roaming the road in Second Life.

Someone needs to build a curved, ramp / scoop that would move the offending transportation. Better yet - collect them!

Greetings. I bought an Altair Rental System and now I'm trying to set it up.

I need to set up the Rental System, so I made a 20 x 20 meter box for an office and put a disguised window on the wall. This other side of the window is a rock surface. To the right, out in the open are my seven Zyngo machines. Zyngo machines with Autoplay on and FUN rules! (It's not that way at the other place.)

Are you a builder or scripter?

I need a skyscraper, warehouses, RSS readers and Media boards. I also need advertising boards.

Need space? I will rent you land in exchange for the items above. Leave a reply - I'll contact you privately.

Thanks,
Jack Eel

Phoenix, Avination

I had about 5020 sq m in Second Life. Sold that in a day. 

Went and set up a second sim in avination.com. This one is called Phoenix.  

I need to start building.

65536 square meters, holds 15000 prims. You can make larger prims here - at least 100 meters.

I had trouble buying land and teleporting on Avination.

Busy servers.

A lot of people are moving from Second Life.

Homemade buildings in the background, on the phx2000 sim on avination.com.

I wanted to play Zyngo.

But that seems to be a problem for the Lindens. Gambling is taboo for some reason, while just about everything else under the Sun isn't.

It was a Zyngo forum where I heard people mention avination.com. It's another virtual reality community. It seems to be in the place where Second Life was at three years ago.

The bad points:

- The tech is not advanced. No media players. Not much of anything as a matter of fact. The content of others can not be transferred over, although items you created can be brought to the other side. I have to examine that further. Clothes and hair are lacking. So are buildings.

The items that are around aren't the most stylish and everything is expensive. Think virtual Cuba.

It seems that Avination does not want Free items distributed.

It's not easy to change your clothes and avatar features at this time.

The GOOD points:

It's cheap - really cheap. I can have my own named sim for $40 a month. That was a little over 4,000 sq.m. in Second Life.

You can build larger items. What's the limit in Second Life - 30 x 30 meters and then the size limit was reached? I haven't seen how far I can stretch it, but making a 100 meter piece of plywood was no problem at all.

More space, bigger objects made of fewer prims.

BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE!

You can transfer your name and your funds from Second Life to Anination.

Anination has last names you can choose from. As in Second Life, there is a limited selection of surnames (although many there seem to be fewer space-alien sounding monikers.)

BUT, you can transfer over your Second Life identity, so you can have a surname that has yet to be offered in Anination.

The other day I went to my Second Life government issued house. I haven't been there for a month or two and Governor Linden took the opportunity to change the locks. I couldn't get the door open. I got in though, teleported.

Enough of Second Life. It's expensive, things don't work, customer service is non-existent and it isn't fun any more.

Just like another 4-letter place I don't spend time at any more.

Link here. OpenSim continues to grow and Second Life continues to lose users.
