Back in May of 2005 - when Jef and I were noobies to Second Life, I got land fever and grabbed up all that I could of the Sim we settled in. That sim is Scafell and it's still home.
I had big plans for all the land, had a park, a pond (an event center that no one but I used...although I got many compliments on the look and feel of the place.)I miss it still. I had a mall called The Menagerie that was quaint and helped a few new people move on to bigger and better things. Jef was building a museum but requires HTML on a Prim to be able to complete that task, so the museum is back in his pocket waiting for HTML. I purchased the Sea Gardens Resort for a great price and then totally missed the boat with it to the point we had to close it and tear it down. (I am sorry Dolce, I just botched that one up big time.)
So there we were, sharing the expense of all that tier, holding more than half the sim, and due to the rules that Linden Labs has set up, we couldn't get concierge service!!!
After a few disappointments with the game, (mostly on Jef's part) and the botched attempt at casino ownership..(dunno what I was thinking tho, I really hate casinos...I was hoping to make it something special with a small casino I think...but I digress.), we decided it was time to drop our land ownership to something more manageable.
That was really hard for me, I literally cried the night I finished dividing it up and pricing it for sale. I came to realize it was just the pain of change, and that I would be ok with it once I settled in to the new spot we picked for ourselves.
It is getting better! I have Great Neighbors! The Penguins!!! I love this couple and hope we'll be neighbors for a long, long time. Right now I'm rooting for Salem's Game SLictionary at the Arcadia event coming up in March. I'm also looking forward to seeing how Salems' (she's the female birdie of the couple) art gallery and garden will evolve.
I'm holding a regular event on Sunday mornings at 10am SL time, my Jef comes into the world now (!!!), more often than he did before he became disillusioned with SL, and for that alone, I have cause to celebrate. It's nice to attend an event with him there too. I love him, what can I say?
All in all, Tiering down was the best thing we've done in a long time in SL!
