Just another unauthorised virtual world fansite
I’ll confess here that I’m highly unlikely to be able to keep up with the events for Fantasy Faire 2011, I work full time and these notices often come out when I’ll be writing vbscript to do something with Active Directory.
However today I am in a position to blog about events, so, after the cut, here’s today’s lineup with SLT time used.
Day one of Fantasy Faire was a raging success and thanks to the support of the Second Life community has managed to raise more than USD$1600, that brings the total so far to USDL$1.62 Million, that is over $6500 USD. This is a excellent start to the 2011 Fantasy Faire.
This is great for Relay For Life and The American Cancer society.
For my part I spent day one blogging about the Oran Store and their wonderful creations, which I blogged here.
Word reaches me that Viewer 2 is moving closer to having features that will make it far more appealing for the masses. One of the points I’ve raised before about Viewer 2 is that it doesn’t have enough in it to make people want to switch over from viewer 1 based viewers. Media on a prim doesn’t do it, the sidebar doesn’t do it, land sales search certainly doesn’t do it. Inviting people to groups? Nil points. Search in general? Nil points?
So what can viewer 2 offer that makes people want to use it? This thread over at SL Universe has the answer, the latest Snowstorm development download has a feature called Avatar physics, what does this mean? Jiggling boobies are coming to a viewer near you soon.
Fantasy Faire 2011 is open and you can go there – http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fantasy%20Faire%20Central/131/127/24
My assignment has been to the Fantastical and Magical sim – http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fantastical%20and%20Magical/63/129/23
To that end I’ve been introduced to the weird and wonderful creations of the Oran Store and their spokeswoman, Inish Karu, who is absolutely delightful to chat with, there is more than one creator involved in this venture you see and they make trees, benches, thrones and Gnomes …. yes Gnomes!
