metaLIFE Now Takes ZERO Commissions On Web Sales

Friday, November 27th, 2009

metaLIFE just recently made a very bold decision about the commission they take from merchants on items listed and sold in their online marketplace. As posted in their blog, metaLIFE will now stop taking commissions from web sales or from sales made in their online marketplace. This simply means that merchants will now get 100% of their money if an item they are selling or has listed for sale gets sold in the marketplace.

While XstreetSL.com is adding listing fees to get an item listed, metaLIFE is removing them instead. While XstreetSL.com is out to get more money from their merchants, metaLIFE is literally reducing and giving away their share to their merchants. (more…)

New Medieval England Dock and Marketplace

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

A few days ago, I went to [Medieval England] to check out the changes that they did to the dock and the marketplace and I must say that they did a good job with the marketplace. The reason I like it is because it’s more spacious and a shopper now has easy access to all of the merchant stalls. No more walking from end to end of the wharf just to check out all of the merchants and their products.

This is the landing area, be careful not to fall off!

Also, with the new setup of the markeplace non-roleplayers who are just visiting to do some shopping can do so without affecting any major RP because it’s kinda bordered off from the main area of the sim. A guest or a visitor (like me) can just walk around the marketplace and would not need to go deeper inside if they wish not too. (more…)

Fish and Bait

While browsing SLExchange’s marketplace for FREE goodies, I stumbled on a very cool Open Source Book Making Script. I immediately purchased it and tested it in-world and it seems to be working fine. Now, this new discovery gave me an idea to create a Second Life magazine (as if we need another one, LOL) and the topic I chose was RPG Empires.

Excited about my new project, I quickly started on designing the pages of the magazine in Photoshop. I finished five pages and uploaded it into Second Life and then applied it to the Book Maker. The process was really simple and after that I sent a copy to mikeD Streeter, owner of RPG Empires, to get his input on the project. (more…)
