More sad news for aviators in Second Life as 3 more OpenSpace sims disappear from SL and the map of Extropia.
I have many fond and fun memories flying there and chatting with friends. Several of my machinima were captured there and the old sims can be viewed in the background.
I should note that one of the old OS sims was converted to a full-sim and it promises to be a spectacular place, but for those of us in the aviation community, it means there are 3 less places to fly.

Test Shot for Caledon OpenSpace (void) Sim Machinima
Test Shot for Caledon OpenSpace (void) Sim Machinima
This is a test for a Second Life machinima currently under production through December 2008. The intention for this was to demonstrate (mostly to myself), camera shots with an audio track. The 5 minute video will be made in recognition and honor of Caledon'ssoon-to-be lost OpenSpace (void) sims. I'm hopeful the intended video will be made available by 31 December 2008.
UPDATE: Important comment from Otenth Paderborn reposted here....

Just so no one reads your post and gets the wrong idea, as far as I know at this time, no sims will be disappearing from Caledon. A few will change names. Several are changing hands. And at least one open space sim will be converted into a full sim (and renamed).
The remaining open space sims, of course, will have avatar limits and, we are told, some sort of scripting limits such that they will no longer be suitable for some of the events we have previously held in them.
Winterfell and Brythony, on the other hand, have not fared so well, and have already undergone consolidation into a smaller number of sims.

"Avoid the Voids" - Accepting the things I cannot change (Part 2)
Adaptation: The change in living organisms that allow them to live successfully in an environment....
As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7
I haven't felt like Logging into SL lately.
I'm thinking about what's next for Zoe Connolly. I'm approaching 2 years in Zoe's skin since January 21, 2007.
I've played many parts on the Grid....As a pole-dancer, Mistress, Girl with Guns, Steampunk Explorer, and of course SL Aviatrix for most of that time. Perhaps it's time for another avatar personae?

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts....

"Avoid the Voids" - Accepting the things I cannot change
It's been a few days since the initial shock of the Openspace (VOID) Sims Controversy.
Linden Labs will do as they please. It's their company and they have every right to raise prices as they see fit.
I cannot fight political and economic battles both in SL and in RL. I simply do not have the energy or funds to do either of them well. One of them must take precedence. I choose RL.
Life goes on, even Second Life goes on.... after all... as LL continuously reminds us....
We're not really residents in a virtual world as they once claimed....we're just players in an elaborate game.

For every ailment under the sun
There is a remedy, or there is none;
If there be one, try to find it;
If there be none, never mind it.
