Comments on: ADV: Two Prime Mainland Oceanfront Sims For Sale http://alphavilleherald.com/2008/03/adv-two-prime-m.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Ric Mollor http://alphavilleherald.com/2008/03/adv-two-prime-m.html/comment-page-1#comment-14863 Ric Mollor Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:32:03 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=790#comment-14863 Can land prices within Second Life stay stable? As more and more 'alterna-grids' pop up there is increasing pressure on Linden Labs to lower land prices. The price of land has been kept artifically high by supply restriction but now that the tap is getting opened there will *have* to be a freefall in pricing. Yes, I understand the drawbacks. OpenSim doesn't currently match the functionality of SL. One can't teleport from grid to grid. Avatars don't transfer, and accumulated inventory is stuck back on the Linden Grid. But sooner or later a nearly unlimited supply of sims at $75 monthly are going to catch attention. Also, the BSD license of OpenSim would allow the project to be forked, improved, and kept private at any time. All that is needed now is a bit of investor money and someone that thinks they can make it happen. Can land prices within Second Life stay stable?

Yes, I understand the drawbacks. OpenSim doesn’t currently match the functionality of SL. One can’t teleport from grid to grid. Avatars don’t transfer, and accumulated inventory is stuck back on the Linden Grid.

All that is needed now is a bit of investor money and someone that thinks they can make it happen.

Not sure what Ginsberg paid, but both sims are currently listed at L$1,100,000 each. More or less the cost of new waterfront at auction... @Digital: the land is still for sale.

Great job getting founder land sold that was previously owned by someone paying zero tier. In the last few years, SLH has been funny, humorous, edgy, ironic, iconic, political, sexual, violent, introspective, and occasionally philosophically interesting. I want to congratulate you on sucking your reputation to an earth shattering climax with this article. The ads surrounding the articles never bothered. The ad in the center of view? Why the fuck didn't you just have it float down via JS with a pop-up scheduled when the user said "go the fuck away"? So now, go the fuck away. You are as useless as a cable network, as stale as a Prokofy light bulb, and as relevant as a forum article discovering SL in 2008. Really, this article. Like with SL. I'm done... Seriously.

Is this a good buy? That part of the mainland looks particularly borked, what with all those PLEASE FIX SL signs up in the air above these properties. Is this a good buy?
