Live in Sunweaver Islands: A Bargain Home in Second Life

Finding a place to live in Second Life for an affordable price can be a challenge. Sign up for Premium Membership to get a “free” Linden home, one will be paying $9.95 US dollars a month. One can rent land, allowing one to stay a free resident and skip the fee, but the prices for rental land and homes can be high, a thousand Lindens a week or more.

How about a place in Second Life where you pay not a thousand Lindens per week, but per month?

At the Sunweaver Islands, 1000L will get you for four weeks, a rate of 250L a week, a 512 square meter plot, 16m x 32m in size, with a 117 prim limit. One can rent as many lots as are available, and the staff will join them into a larger lot if possible, so one can build the house of one’s dreams.

The Sunweaver Islands have both public islands and private islands available:

Public Islands allow one the flexibility of having either a house, store or both. As the name suggests, they are fully open to the public.

Private Islands allow one greater privacy, but are restricted to residents of Sunweaver Islands only. One is allowed to build stuff for sale, but no selling is allowed here. Control over who gets on the islands and behavior is enforced.

For more information on rental space in the Sunweaver Islands, please contact one of the rental managers: Nydia Tungsten, Wensleydale Dinkins, Shockwave Yareach, and Rita Mariner.

Also ask what move-in specials are available. As of now, the first month is half-off the normal price for new renters.

Massive Move

It was a mind boggling thought when someone mentioned the SS Galaxy, Queen of the Saggittarian Sea, was moving. 

You probably know, but in case you don’t, this is a full size cruise ship with all the amenities. 

The huge ship occupies three regions, actually four.. It is more than 2 years old in SL and is much loved by all who have spent time there or has lived on board.  

The new locale only adds more possible fun to a visit. The Galaxy, with the help of Linden Lab, sailed off to the new home on November 17. 

It is located just south of Little Gull Islands on the map. I took a quick tour, and everything is in place as it was before the move. All activities are up and running and all the tp’s are working. People were about the decks riding unicycles and playing miniature golf. 

Events are posted. The cinema has movies scheduled. The current port of call to visit on the tp from the deck is Mouse World. The week’s events took me some minutes to read. One thing that is missing is the ferry to Sagittaria. 

I did meet the cruise Director, Lars Donnelly, who said that discussions are under way with the sailing community about future events.

“ we hope to welcome sailors who want to stay with us for some time during a exploring tour” he told me.
