Today at 3pm: Farewell Party to Soror Nishi's Beach

Soror Nishi's fantastic, acclaimed, psychedelic beach is going away from Second Life, due to high tier costs she no longer wants to pay, and Ms. Nishi is moving her work to InWorldz, a new OpenSim-based 3D world. Today at 3pm there's a going away party for a beautiful place, with fireworks and The Born Again Pagans. [SLurl teleport at this link]

Wow never thought I would see the day Hamlet Au begins promoting people leave Second Life.

Thanks for the tip-off - will try and get there to see it before it, sadly, goes.

[soror nishi]

All welcome, there isn't anything else like it.

[Ziki Questi]

Thanks, Hamlet, for replying so quickly and covering this!

For readers who have never visited Soror Nishi's beach, please do—there really isn't anything else like it in SL. When you arrive, set your draw distance up, and fly up, because lots of the build is a few hundred meters up in the air.

Almost everything you see is for sale—it's not only a cool build but also a store. (I think I've spent about L$10k there today!)

This is crazy. I just commented on how Linden Lab needs to lower land costs this year and within a few hours, another very nice piece of land is up on the chopping block due to the costs of maintaining it.

Suggestions for Linden Lab:

Second Life Land - 50% off sale!

Wow, this looks very impressive, can hardly wait to visit it in inWorldz.

@Ann Otoole "Wow never thought I would see the day Hamlet Au begins promoting people leave Second Life"

I have just purchased a new copy of Hamlets book on Amazon. I will also look forward to the new edition, which will be title something like "From SecondLife to the Global Open Grid - The new face of Virtual Worlds".

Just wanna say we really enjoyed the show at sister Soror's place today. Thanks for inviting us over.

I went but it was so laggy from the massive sculpt collection nothing would render. Imagine will be worse in Inworldz.

[soror nishi]

@little lost linda....two things....one....they all rezz with time if your graphics card isnt too small, and two...InWorldz has a "one sin, one server' set up...so you can rezz 45,000 prims on a sim and it doesnt lag like SL does.

"one sin, one server"

Soror, if I can pick my sin, I'll be right over :)

Good luck at InWorldz. I've created an avatar there and plan to do a review for Prim Perfect in a few months. Hope to find you lag-free and happy there!
