Haftungsausschluss: Ich habe keine Vorteile für das Abfassen dieses Artikels erhalten, und möchte auch keine. Es ist ein Bericht meines eigenen Wissens und meiner Erfahrungen mit Land in Virtuellen Welten und nicht mehr. Ich will hier keinen Vergleich verschiedener kommerzieller Angebote ziehen. In virtuellen Welten dreht sich alles um Land, und Land ist nichts weiter als Serverspeicherplatz. Wenn man eine Weile ...

Is OpenSim an alternative to SL The most recent announcement of the firing of 30% of Linden Labs' staff and creating a "browser-based experience" with extending into "popular social networks" is just the latest in a long series of changes happening during the last year. It already created a heated debate, causing even more people to think about alternatives to Second ...

I'm unnerved. I can't even explain why. All I know is that it's related to the changes made to the Terms Of Service (and the third party policy along with it). However, it seems I am not the only one. As Tateru Nino wrote in yesterday's Virtual Whirl: "... the new Second Life TOS has to be the single most ...

Exiles Pt 1 Disclaimer: I had wanted to write this article for a long while now, and am still hesitant to do so, but I believe it's of interest to the public and may help others who might run into the same situation as myself. I joined Second Life (SL) on 31st March 2007. I made myself a couple of avatars back ...

Exiles Pt 2 The closest thing to what I was looking for was OSGrid, which I joined just a few days after the incident on 9th of November 2009. I have to admit, I was sceptical at first, as the project appeared to be very bleak and years and years behind of SL by number of residents, performance of the grid, ...

Ever since the SL Blog (and the forum and comment system along with it) changed to its current state in August 2008, it has been a nightmare to find anything on it, that wasn't featured on the start page anymore. The search function of the blog returns not only blog postings, but forum postings and comments as well, in no ...

Disclaimer: I did not get any benefits for writing this article, nor do I want any. It's a report of my own knowledge and experience with land in virtual worlds, and nothing more. It doesn't aim to be a test nor comparison of different commercial offers. Virtual worlds are about land. And 'land' is nothing else but server space. If you've ...
