It's the toast of today's New York Times' travel guide to Second Life, but even now, the fate of Svarga, the self-contained ecosystem, hangs in the balance...
As mentioned last month, Svarga's goddess is departing SL for a time, and needs stewards, to assume ownership of it while she's gone.
FlipperPA Peregrine has put together a group that will donate some of their land tier, to cover the land use fees. "We're closing in on 15,000 already," Peregrine told me recently, "almost one fourth of the sim tier! There are still a few people from my list that haven't pledged yet.
"Anyone who wishes to pledge land can Instant Message me for a group invite. You can see who's pledged how much so far from the group members list."
More updates on Svarga's survival soon...
given all the corporate interest in SL, i'm surprised that Millions of Us, Electric Sheep, etc haven't figured out a way to get someone to underwrite Svarga's island. Seems like it would gets lots of goodwill.
