My home in Second Life is at Animate Me Poseballs which is somewhat connected to Dark Century’s first sim but today, while checking the RPG Empire continent, I noticed that the area is blank. At first, I thought it was just a rolling re-start or something like that but hours later the location where Dark Century I and II are located are still blank. I clicked on the grid square and what displayed is an “Offline” message. This is somewhat weird since I have not receive any notice about Dark Century closing or moving.

Where is Dark Century I & II

What I did next was, I went to The Spartan Empire and walked to the edge of the sim that faces Dark Century I. As I was nearing the edge, I was kinda expecting to see land masses form as I get nearer but nothing appeared. When I finally reached the edge, what greeted me was an open sea. No land mass! No Dark Century!

Is Dark Century really gone? Currently, I can’t say if it’s gone or not. I can only assume that it’s gone since it hasn’t really performed that well but until I receive an official confirmation from the owner, mikeD Streeter, I guess it’s safe to say that it’s undergoing an extended downtime.

(Nothing but open water!)

For now, you can enjoy viewing my snapshots of Dark Century below.
