| Sandboxes A few years ago when I first discovered SL I used to build on a Sandbox. I had since left the world for a while. I am getting re-acquainted with SL now. My favorite Sandbox is now gone. Can someone tell me some good Sandboxes? I used to enjoy myself because I could create and would meet some cool people in the process. Made many friends with like interest in a Sandbox. I don't like the Linden ones because they tend to get too many griefers and immature jackass's. |

Business: Shabby Tabby Client: All of the above | I think premium members get premium only sandbox access, if you are interested. I really do not go to sandboxes anymore, too many griefers even at private ones. |

My Mood:  SL Join Date: 3/9/2006  | My best advice. Enter the sandbox, rez a 10x10 platform, set it to a height of like 1000, rez a cube in the same spot, sit on the cube, set the cube's height to 1010, stand up, delete the cube. Resize your platform as needed.

Client: Viewer 2/3    | I usually build on my own land, but the Ivory Tower Sandbox in Natoma (old Mainland) is a place where I have met very friendly and helpful people. I have only seen rare grief attacks, which are usually handled quickly.

| I am not ready to jumo back in and buy land again. I have a small 512 plot and that is enough for me. I don't like standing by myself building all the time. I don't like the dance clubs and stuff. I have found that Sandboxes were my best social experiences in SL in the past. |

Business: Isambard Kingdom Brunel Hall Client: Viewer 3 & Firestorm  | Its about the only reason i keep my premium membership as well, those premium only sandboxes. Last weekend during "peak time" i had a whole sandbox to myself for most of the evening. For small stuff i use the New Babbage residents only sandbox which is for folks who have land in New Babbage, thats nice a quiet as well.

| Premium sandboxes are a nice place where build. When I'm there, usually in some corner near the ocean, in the minimap I see 4-5 people max only in each of the four joined sim/sandboxes. And never saw griefers.

Business: Eclectica Client: Firestorm & V3 | Builders Brewery is great, and even has a corner where terraform is left on so you can play. Occasionally, if classes are on and lag becomes an issue, scripts are temporarily turned off in the sandbox. So I like to have a few alternatives. Dreams sandbox has always been good, with another building community established there (although I haven't visited for awhile). I keep forgetting about the premium sandboxes (slaps own head  ) |

That's more steps than I use. I just rez the box, sit on it, then set the height to whatever I want. Usually 2400, since I've found that most people don't build anything up there. Once I'm in the sky, I change the size to X=10, Y=10, and then I stand up. I use the sandbox at Fermi. I've not seen any griefers there, and there's usually a sandbox manager around. | |

| kind of a special purpose sandbox, but if you're working on particles or vehicles feel free to drop by my vehicle and particle laboratories. There's free full-perm example scripts, tutorials and sandbox space to experiment in. =) teleport to Teal 200,50,25 and take the hot-air-balloon up to either location. |
