Cape of Ruin

I love to build regions, perhaps more so than scripting games. It has been almost two years since we've added another region to the estate -- but we did it three weeks ago when Linden Lab had their region sale. So rather than freak out about region price undercuts, I lock-stepped with Linden Lab and offered the Wastelands residents a deal and a goal. The goal was to bring occupancy up to 97% over a weekend. The reward was a new region on the estate. After contacting all their friends, the occasional shameless word-of-mouth sales pitch, and with 20 minutes left to spare, our goal was reached and a new region was ordered. Three weeks have now passed, and this is the fruit of our labor:

I love to terraform, I did all that by hand! It took about two 12 hour runs across two days to parcel out the land and terraform it. Then it took another few days to place all the infrastructure down and make sure the terraform was perfect for it.

The beauty of working on a community project is seeing how it blossoms once it's out of your hands, and into the residents. It's changing almost every day, and I am eager to see the newest thing put down.

I wish I could just make regions all day. With the way things are going -- perhaps a new region isn't so far away!

A video to show off the region for those without mesh. I admit, I originally made this for the Real Estate section, but it's just as good for this post as well!
