WTF: Rare Islands Purchased in TSO’s “hard core” Dragon’s Cove

Both islands are purchased, the one of the right is just empty at the moment.

Update: Because the Dragon’s Cove Gazette (not www.dragonscovegazette.com , but dragonscove.tblog.com) has taken photos from this story without attribution, we would like to remind people of the License for use of thes materials. The Alphaville/Second Life Herald would like it to be known that if you would like to use the photographs you must (1) say where you got them (here) and (2) extend the same rights of free use to anyone who wants to borrow them from your site..

It hasn’t even been 24 hours, and the illusion of TSO’s Dragon’s Cove being “hard core” has already been shattered. After months of crying by Stratics Board Ho’s for a city in which skilling, making money, and buying property and objects would be more difficult, TSO recently introduced an allgedly hard core city. But so far the city has been anyting but. DC Simoleans are selling like hotcakes on eBay and 4 islands have been bought thus far, 2 being the “ultimate rare” grass islands, which are priced at 450,000 +. The boarders on Stratics, are yelling “WTF, that sicko he must cheat”. I got the chance to talk to one of the island owners, (screenshot below) who explains that he didn’t cheat to get it. You read, you decide what you think. Also, there are two sand islands that have been aquired so far, those are worth over $325,000.
