Linden Lab are embracing the season to be merry by asking their residents “What Item Would Be On Your Second Life Wishlist?” The Lab are working on a holiday gift item for everyone and have embraced social media for the feedback in the shape and form of Facebook and Twitter.
This usage of social media often disappoints some people as they would prefer Second Life to utilise their own forums and blogs for such events but I’m just pleased to see that they are now prepared to go beyond Facebook. I’ll take that as a happy compromise although they do have an Official Contests & Events section on their forums, which would probably be ideal for something such as this gift idea. I would imagine there would be challenges with gathering feedback from too many disparate sources.
Feedback on the Facebook page includes requests for :
- A 24 hour day cycle
- Cheaper Land Prices
- Huge Tracts Of Land
- A PC So I can get back on SL
I’m not quite sure these are the droids Linden Lab are looking for here. Personally I want to see more Orcs but I’m not sure that is suitable for a Christmas wishlist item!

I’m sure people will be able to come up with some more seasonal suggestions over time, maybe party hats, mince pies, a big old party, bad dancing, embarrassing mistletoe incidents and Slade for example.
I cant request, even being premium, cause i refuse to have a facebook account.
Still i wish that premium members would get more land available per tier level.
