    Welcome to New Zindra

    After 11 rounds of the New Zindra land lottery, what an adventure it’s been! Second Life kept us on our toes, and I had so much fun touching kiosks and running around checking out new land with my friends. What started as a little game turned into some beautiful new places to call our own, and I can’t wait to start making beautiful spaces on New Zindra!

    For anyone who hasn’t been following along, New Zindra is an expansion of Second Life’s existing Adult Mainland continent, Zindra, with 92 new regions. The land was originally added to accommodate residents relocating from Gaeta 1, which Second Life had planned to close. Then came the surprise announcement that Gaeta 1 would remain open after all! Once displaced Gaeta 1 residents had their chance to relocate, Second Life offered the remaining New Zindra parcels through a lottery, giving residents a chance to claim a little piece of the new continent.

    And would you look at that dreamy view behind me? I won this gorgeous island in Hog Tide during the lottery, and I couldn’t be more stoked! I especially like the New Zindra terrain with patches of green grass mixed with sandy beaches, this is not something you can find anywhere else in Second Life. It’s such a pretty combination, and I’m already imagining all the possibilities.

    Of course, I can’t keep everything! If you love the island and that gorgeous view behind me, Hog Tide could be yours! Check out my available parcels at JuicyBomb Land Sales page, or contact me in Second Life if you’re interested.

    A big thank you to Second Life and the land team (Wendi Linden, Kady Linden, Kit Linden, Guy Linden, Oatmeal Linden, Whitney Linden) for making the lottery such a fun experience. Here’s to new neighbors, beautiful views, and making New Zindra feel like home!

    Moving to New Zindra, Gaeta 1 Continent Closing

    Even though I rezzed in Second Life in 2006, the first 13 years of my SLife were spent on private regions. I bought my first region in my first year, so mainland was never something I paid much attention to. I didn’t even get Premium until I got my first Bellisseria home on April 15, 2019. Ever since then, I’ve been buying mainland here and there, holding snow land, bidding on auctions trying to get beach land, all of it. I love land. I don’t always love mainland chaos, but I love nice waterfront land enough to keep dealing with it.

    So when I read the post about Gaeta 1 closing, I’m not even going to lie, my first thought was where the hell is Gaeta 1? Then I kept reading and saw they’re offering size for size replacement parcels and will work with owners to find something comparable. The second I read that, I went straight over there and bought land.

    If owning land there is my ticket into the new Zindra continent, then I bought my ticket and I’m ready to move.

    There’s a town hall Monday, April 20 at 11am SLT, so I’m hoping they give real details then. For residents like me that can move instantly, I hope Linden Lab lets us rush in and claim spots first. I’m not going to waste anyone’s time going back and forth for weeks. Just give me what was promised, a comparable parcel. Every piece of land I bought on Gaeta 1 is waterfront, so yes, I expect waterfront back.

    What makes this fun for me is I remember when Bay City launched, and I remember Horizons too, but I wasn’t Premium back then. Now I am, and I am readyyyyyyyy.

    The Adult land part does not bother me at all. I’m an adult. I also don’t think everyone is about to throw up sex clubs all over the ground. I think a lot of people will do homes, gardens, cute builds, and nice parcels like anywhere else. What I do hope for is some kind of covenant. No ugly visible ban lines, no giant prim walls killing views, no trash in the sky. Let’s start this continent off right.

    This is not a fashion post, but I still need to say go get the new Margot tee from ISON. I wasn’t even going to buy it until I saw they were giving a free print HUD with any color pack. The prints are cute, it got me immediately, and now I own it.
