Another Useless Land Purchase

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

A few days ago, I spent a lot of time searching for land to rent or buy. I was looking for an affordable land in a private estate where I can move my fishing area, shop and chickens. Most of the private land I visited has very strict covenant which will not allow most of the things I have (specially the chickens). I was about to give up searching for the perfect private land that will cater to my use when I was contacted by Silver Colman of Silver Real Estate. I happened to visit a private land he had for sale at that time and he then later contacted me to ask if I was looking to rent or buy.

Silver City

The land I purchased at Silver City...

I was able to meet with him in-world where we were able to talked about my land needs. He was a very nice and accommodating person and during our conversation I asked him if he allows chickens on his sim. He was not familiar with them so I teleported him to where I was keeping my chickens (so he can see them). He even showed me a new trick with the Advance Menu but eventually he said YES to allowing chickens on his sim. During this pre-sales talk, he did not mention anything about the number of chickens I can have on the land or any other restrictions. He said that they were okay (the chickens). (more…)

Stay Away from Nettle Blackthorne’s Sim

Friday, May 29th, 2009

OMG! Just a few minutes ago I received an IM (instant message) from Nettle Blackthorne. She is the Estate Owner of the sim I purchased/rented land on. She said that she will evict me because the shouting is disturbing her other tenants and, in an instant,  all my objects were returned to me.

Money Down the Drain

I spent a moment to think what could be doing all the shouting that’s when I realized that the contest board was running and it was the one doing the shouting. OMG! It wasn’t really a big problem because turning off the board announcement was just one or two clicks away but, unfortunately, I never got the time to turn it off. Why was it turn on in the first place? It’s the contest board’s default setting and because the area was big the announcement must reach a wide area to inform those participants who may be a little far away from it. (more…)

My Place, GONE!

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I regularly login to my Second Life account to check my place at Scaramanga which I rent from Richard Palace of Palace Lands. Today, I logged in only to find my place GONE!

Yes, my place was gone, 3 Stars and a Sun was nowhere to be seen! I was greeted by a long list of messages telling me that my objects were returned to me. I was very surprised at what happened. I’m also confused because I have not received any messages from Richard Palace to why my objects were returned to me. (more…)

Things an SL Bot can do for you!

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Most people will say that bots are just good for camping. Well, they are indeed good for camping but, come on, be creative. There are other things you can do with an SL Bot and I found out about it when I attended Thoys Pan SL Bot Owners Meeting. The meeting isn’t really a meeting but it was like a show and tell kind of a meeting. SL Bot owners came to, well, show off their bots and there was a contest too for the most original bot. The prize was 1,000L$ or a new registered bot to your name.

I know there are many SL Bot owners in Second Life and many of them are land owners or estate owners too. Yeah, you heard that right, land owners. They use bots to camp on their own land to increase traffic. I’m not sure if I had mentioned this somewhere but I once encountered a resident who told me that he was buying 100 bots and he will use them to increase his land traffic and then sell it at a higher price. Well, that’s one thing bots can do for you. Is there anything else?

Well, at the meeting, I took the opportunity to browse around Thoys Pan’s office and there were signs inside his building showing some of the things what an SL Bot can do for you (see photos). (more…)

Why buy when you can rent CHEAP!

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

The idea of owning land in Second Life is very, very enticing. I was thinking, if I can’t own land in my first life why not own one in Second Life. So, I went around shopping for cheap land. Using SL’s in-world search I entered a few keywords and visited a few of the listed results that looked promising. I searched the classifieds, land sales and the places tabs.

Second Life

I teleported to various sims to check the offers, the realtors and the land itself. By the way, I am on a basic account so I can’t really own land so I have to find a realtor or a land developer to get land either through purchase or through rent/lease. Many of the offers have this covenant thing and it is still way above my ability to pay. (more…)
