Estate Sims Get Some Class 7 Loving

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the class of your sim was deemed important. However a couple of years ago Linden Lab decided it was time to end the class system, class 4 sims were cast aside in a mighty purge, class 7 sims were introduced in some parts but most folk were happy to be on a minimum of a class 5 sim, class 6 sims seem to have got lost somewhere in the story, but that’s a matter for a different day.

However over time, as we all tapped our feet, class 7 sims didn’t seem to grow much, indeed class 5 seemed to be the class of choice for many an estate, largely because there was no choice, we waited, and waited and then we waited some more and then we forgot all about it.

However, news from Tyche “Statto” Shepherd’s New SL Sims in the past week gives us this exciting news:

There were no significant losses detected this week. However the biggest change was a large increase in the number of Class 7 hosted Estate Regions (up c3000 to 10687) and a related decrease in Class 5 hosts. This is the largest jump in Class 7 hosts since their initial roll out.

Cheers were heard from many quarters!

Fantasy Faire 2012 – Call For Bloggers

Fantasy Faire 2012

Fantasy Faire 2012, has issued a call for bloggers, which you can read here. There are some terms and conditions associated with this, you need to have been blogging for at least two months and update your blog once a week to be accepted. I’m not totally happy with restrictions like this but I imagine it’s because you can be assigned to sims and merchants, if you’re not a regular blogger you may not realise what this entails and how time consuming it can be. However I’d rather they didn’t have the restrictions, but they do, there is some logic in this when it comes to being assigned to a sim or store.

If you are assigned to a store, you will need to write about at least one item from each store you’re assigned to. This means you will need to be pretty sure you can meet these goals because if you’re assigned to a store and can’t blog, then that means someone else won’t be blogging about it either. However if the idea of being assigned to sims and stores is unappealing, you can still apply to blog about Fantasy Faire 2012 in general, you will get sneak previews if you go either route so if you think general blogging is better, go that route, if you do like the sound of it fill in the online form on the site I linked to above.

Linden Lab have decided to send us for just one more for this desolate shore … oh wait, that’s night boat to Cairo! Now they’re sending us deep into the jungle and as we’re not celebrities, we can’t get out of there! Indeed if you journey around you’ll even find Lindens who are driven to drink, as Michael Linden appeared to be anyway!

Michael Linden

Maybe Michael was just offering happy hour discounts on Mole beer! The problem with that is that if you’re not a premium member, you won’t be able to enjoy this adventure, as detailed in the blog post, which you can read here. However if you fancy trying out premium membership, there’s currently a 50% discount on the quarterly plan, which is also detailed in the blog post. The offer runs until Monday March 26th.
