One of the first places I noticed when I entered SL was this strange looking island, little did I know it was a recreation of 2 of the more popular ages from Uru, the online sequel to Myst.
It took a little research, but I managed to find the sim again, but not before it was too late, the day after the sim was taken down, but with notice, so I decided to get snap happy and at least keep a record of this sim before it dissapeared into cyberspace.
One of the problems was that the sim had been brought out by the company that now owns uru and whores it out. So there was signage all over the place that just got in the way, like these:

But I did my best to snap away in ways that would leave these out. I also took “scrapes” in which I just took shots of the scenery, this was in fact for Ina Centaur who wanted to use the island at a later date, but now couldn’t.

It is a shame, but it’s one of the problems where each sim costs about $300 a month to keep running, so if it doesn’t make enough money or serve it’s purpose, it’s gone, and the Lindens no longer preserve historical content due to the expanded nature of SL. That’s a service only for those who signed up in 2003.

Well the two ages in the sim, if you don’t know about Myst and Ur, are the King’s Garden and the D’ni Residential Area. The King’s garden even coming with the Bahro Cave

Then the grand D’ni City residential area, even complete with the secret balcony (which you can only get to through a linking cloth in Uru) which has the the Bahro stone. And then there’s the egg room…

Well it’s a shame to see this island go, but it’s not surprising either. Well at least I have pictures, and I think they do the sim justice. You can view these pictures and more at the gallery. Just follow this link: http://flickr.com/photos/pyrii/sets/72157602001288479/

It can cut down your offline commercialise costs too if you get it ended properly. Watching someone who not only does SEO but does the content initiation and distribution for you as well as keyword research, updating content on your internet site and blog, having professionaly written press releases at little prices as referred previous is what suits many small job possessors and yet there are many who try to do it themselves, they get confused as they dont have the knowledge or the technical skills to do it promptly and they renounce. Thank you for this article! I’ve just obtained a certainly awesome site about panda marketing Examine it!
Hi, I’ve been following your site for some time, and wanted to ask you a question if I may. I’m just starting out website and seeking ways to advertise my blog in Google, as I’ve been receiving some direct hits from Google and want to multiply it. I have been looking at what this website says about link building and website promotion ht tp://webmasters-tools.info/i/linkbuilding.php I’ve learnt the more backlinks I have to my blog, the higher my place in Google it will be. But I was just wondering if other website owners in the same genre as us have been following it, and if you would recommend it? I would very much appreciate your opinion, as I’m not sure whether to implement it. Thank you
