Monday's post about the Stranger Things fan community build in Second Life was so popular, I sent NWN correspondent Cassie Middles to explore in person, and file her report to YouTube. Is it laggy? Is it worth the L$1000 group admission fee? Is it as detailed as it seems to be? Watch and find out from Cassie. (And don't miss the moment where she wanders into Joyce's house only to find a couple, um, already there.)
Here's the top takeaway from Cassie:
"This place is absolutely stunning," she reports. "Every detail well done. I do feel the admission could be high BUT, the group does events, has more than one location, and it's a one-time fee. I think the price also keeps out unnecessary trolls and spammers. I normally love places like Ironwood Hills and Bella Pace, but this just joined the ranks of favorites for me."
Cassie's a fan of the show which inspired it (aren't we all) and the tribute was so on point, "It made me want to rewatch it all. I especially loved the school and how well they decorated everything down to the last detail."
I'm curious how many people will pay the group-based admission fee -- according to Cassie, it's well-worth the price. If enough do, this could be a reliable way for sim creators to help monetize their work. (Though in this case, also possibly causing Netflix lawyers to frown and edit the letter they sent to the Stranger Things tribute bar in Chicago.)
