Who actually gives a toss anyway? Not me for one!
You honestly think that LL cares that we know IF there is a “memorial” garden to its users? IF they did care then you’d know a lot more about it and if they actually wanted you to find it they’d tell you!
I found this place purely by chance as I did a search on the map.. I typed in Linden and on the list was Memorial Garden.
Now.. if it was something like a Memorial for people who died in conflicts, then I for one would appreciate it more.
This is LL just trying to score points with it’s users… “oohh aren’t we the lovely caring “gods” of this world.
My answer to that? NO!
Get real.
LL could do a lot more with the land they “own” in SL.

@Orca you could have spent more time there. The great thing about Second Life is that you can teleport.

That’s the same stupid answer all of us sailors and aviators get from LL when we complain about borked sim crossings.

Teleporting, bah! Where’s the fun in that?

See, our journey was supposed to be a journey, a roundtrip of the northernmost continents. That Linden memorial park wasn’t our destination, just one of the many waypoints. As already mentioned we found it by incident.

When I returned there, a few days later, I used TP.

This is a very nice place. Also as she mentions since this is Linden land it will last as long as Second Life does as opposed to memorials on private sims which will only last as long as the sim is here and someone is paying teir. We have all seen sims that disappeared. However the slowness of the Lindens in acting on placing something is not good as it causes pain as in RL the lose of a freind here is painful the placing of the monument would give some closure.

No doubt it is kept secret to keep Pappy from finding it and setting up a squatter’s camp.

@Orca you could have spent more time there. The great thing about Second Life is that you can teleport. You didn’t actually need to spend so much effort trying to cross hundreds of sims, you could have instantly teleported back home.

It’s not a secret. LL made all kinds of blog posts and hoopla about it when it was created. In fact even the Herald had an article about it. You’re just learning about how crappy search is these days.

Oh noes,
If you think that place wasn’t already known to trolls as lulzcow central (other than Ravenglass and GYC) then you are quite the pubbie.

The key to keeping something secret is to not tell anyone.

You’ve exposed this place to anon trolling by reporting on it.

Around xmas 2009 my partner Trapez and me went on a sailing trip from the southernmost parts of Sailors Cove estate up and around Nautilus, Gaeta V and Corsica. On our way we found the Linden memorial park by incident, since it marked the most northern point of our journey. I was immediately smitten by its dignified setting, something you won’t find too often in SL, between all those tasteless, poor builds and all the typical broohaha. We didn’t have much time to look around tho, our journey wasn’t easy and we still had some hundred sims to cross on the way home. But I returned a few days later for a second look.
The memorial somehow touched my heart and made me stop and think for a while. Something that doesn’t happen very often in SL neither.
