I had just started looking around for a little land when the news hit. Now, I'm hesitant to even look at estate rentals, because the playing field is changing so much between now and January.
So chances are, I'll find what looks like the best bit of Mainland I can afford and call it a day. Which in a way is too bad, because I've seen some estates that I could easily live on. |
The playing field in the estates has been changing for months! I considered estate land once but when I saw the number of them going offline every month and their tenants being left in the lurch I passed. And this OS debacle will just cause more estates and OS's to disappear. Of course the recent OS issue hit the estate owners very hard, the economy tanked and people went back to being
SL homeless to save RL money and that hit the estate owners hard, LL started doing their own new land with double prims and zoning (Bay city and Nautilus) and that hurt the estates! And mainland hasn't been spared either because the value of parcels on the mainland is only a fraction of what it was a few months ago.
Put simply, if your reason for being in
SL isn't social, educational or because you're a business thinking about River Run Red, your days in
SL are likely numbered. Oh and yes, wankers will always inhabit
SL it seems both inworld and at LL. lol
