Greenies, the classic Second Life location that puts your avatar in a 1950's living room invaded by thumb-sized aliens to insanely delightful effect, is leaving Second Life this week. (The last official event is set for this Wednesday.) Greenies will still exist online, but Rezzable, the British studio that created it (and a former sponsoring partner of this blog) is permanently moving it to their own OpenSim grid. Here's what Greenies looked like when I wrote about in 2007, and it's striking to see how well it's held up:
Many alien easter eggs have been added since then, and believe me, if you haven't visited it yet or in a long while, you absolutely should before it goes away. Direct SLurl teleport link to Greenies here.
.. just went there and a live DJ was spinning! Great place, have been there some time ago, and it was great to see and explore it again. To bad it has to go.. but hey.. maybe we will all meet again in the OSgrid ;)

It will be missed! I don't think I can summon up the power to leave my inventory and avatar behind to go to a new grid. :(

To previous commenters, they're not actually on OSGrid, they're on the Rezzable Grid, which is not linked to OSGrid.

Will rezzable ever finish "leaving Second Life"? Or will they find more ways to use SL and it's blogs for advertising their commercial operation?
