However, in my last post I discussed the issues surrounding Elf Clan in Second Life and suggested that if I were them, I&#8217;d accept the offer being made by Linden Lab.<\/p>\n<p>Then I surveyed the sky, decided it might rain and put my coat on for the journey to Villa Park. Whilst there I witnessed an absolutely awful game of football and returned home for find out that Elf Clan have indeed said <a title=\"Elf Clan Say yes\" href=\"http:\/\/elfclanvr.grouply.com\/message\/1697\" target=\"_blank\">yes <\/a>to Linden Lab&#8217;s offer! Oh and as an aside, one word of advice to Elf Clan, the name of CEO is Rod Humble!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Never work with Elves and Hobbits is my advice here! However it&#8217;s good to see that Elf Clan will be staying in Second Life for a while longer, they are a large group but there&#8217;s no way they should get grandfathered tier status on their sims, for a start it wouldn&#8217;t be grandfathering, it would be specially selected discounting and that&#8217;s going to lead to all sorts of issues because there are a lot of groups and sims that add something special to Second Life, but it&#8217;s not Linden Lab&#8217;s role to make massive discounts.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of tier prices isn&#8217;t going away any time soon, so it&#8217;s something that all of us need to deal with but really, Linden Lab need to find new ways of generating income, which I&#8217;ll discuss briefly in my next post, for now, here&#8217;s a picture of Runa The Elf, whom I work with a lot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/23556228@N08\/5561899724\/\" title=\"Runa The Elf by Ciaran Laval, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5302\/5561899724_38e542c4af.jpg?resize=229%2C500\" width=\"229\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Runa The Elf\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elves!
