Former Linden Qarl (Mesh Deformer) Linden has announced he is leaving Second Life due to the updated TOS<\/a>. I’m also leaving Second Life but for entirely different reasons, although I do agree that the new TOS oversteps the mark. I am leaving because I fell behind on my tier payments.<\/p>\n

I have to say that during this troublesome period, Linden Lab provided me with some fantastic support, in particular from TJ Linden and Izzy Linden, who were very understanding but ultimately they can only be sympathetic for a limited period of time.<\/p>\n

I’ve had a blast with Second Life, a very expensive blast but a blast none the less. I’m still hoping that I can resolve my account issues at some point but that doesn’t look like it will happen in the short term.<\/p>\n

Now as for this blog, I will keep it going for a while at least. Reporting on Second Life is going to be painful, but not impossible. I may also report on other virtual worlds or experiences. There’s a whole heap of issues to blog about and now I have more time on my hands I may be able to look at a wider range of angles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Every cloud has a silver lining, although right now the clouds are dark and threatening rain! However the adventures continue.<\/p>\n

Second Life remains a platform full of potential, some of that potential is a bit rusty these days and it limps in some quarters but the potential remains huge and the concept an excellent one. I hope to see Second Life grow and evolve for many years to come.<\/p>\n
