Eye on the Blog - Hijack of the high seas?

Hoist the Mainsail and head for the high seas

Shiver me timbers me hearties! If you’re a fan of all things nautical then we have exciting news! A new Mainland sailing area will soon appear off the coast of Nautilus in a joint community project between Linden Lab and the estate owners of the United Sailing Sims (USS) group.

For those that don’t know, the USS is made up of 9 private estates with 130+ regions between them, themed around sailing, yacht racing and similar sports.

Blake Sea, named after the legendary sailor Sir Peter Blake, will be to the east of the Nautilus City landmass and will cover over 40 regions in size, and almost all of them will be Homesteads. Around the eastern edge of Blake Sea will be the estates of the USS.

Unsurprisingly this has led to shouts of favouritism and also conspiracy with a lot of anger being thrown around the web but to be honest I wish them all the best, the USS does a great job in secondlife and provides a great service to many residents. If Linden lab want to find a way to save the sailing community after they messed it up completely with the new 'open space policy' then so be it and I look forward to sailing in the new waters.
