Vampire Succubus Club Closes

On Friday, February 12th, the Vampire Succubus Club held it’s last party. At 10 AM, DJ Antarias Gothly started the event, with a 500 Linden prize up for grabs. Antarias invited all who could, “Make sure you come, and say your goodbyes, and share your memories.”

The Vampire Succubus Club, or the VSC as it was called for short, was built in the Giorna Kel sim. The sim was the setting for a vampire RP, the Caprionian vampires, but the club was a “fun area,” a “gothic burlesque club” where the vampires, friends of the vamps, friends of friends, or the simply curious could drop by and have fun. People were invited to stop by to “drink, dance, or get bitten.” But aside from vamp couples nibbling on one another, nobody was being a pain in the neck.

The music was generally goth, punk, techno, metal, and alternative, but other tunes were also played. Smogg Valois was the owner of the club, with Mistressbubbles Bondar as manager. Besides Antarias, DJs at the club included TessaFae and Sakura.

Talking with Mistressbubbles, of the club closing, “It was coming on for a while. Closing it gives us more time and energy for a new and better project. ... But it is a ways down the line still. ... The club is still standing for now. It's part of the RP of this place. But it has been modded to look abandoned. We plan to keep it up for a while at least. Have the occasional party or clan function. ... Closing the club will give us the time to focus on the lands and to invest in role-play. Also, I am working on building up the Faelands a bit more and adding some shops and hopefully soon 7Seas fishing.”

And so, the candlelight in the club went out for the last time, the creatures of the night slinking away to other things.

Rezzable to Move to OpenSim, Close Most Sims in Second Life

Rezzable will be moving-on from SL in July. We have decided to close down all our sims on the Second Life grid except for Greenies Home. We will drop Crimson Shadow, Tunnel of Light and Carnival of Doom mid-July. Greenies Lawn is already gone. The Hobo Island is being transferred over to Thinkerer Melville. Black Swan will be deleted from the SL Grid after the Swan Song fashion event closes in mid-August. We will be focusing our efforts on Heritage Key, where we invite you to GoVirtual (VX) with King Tut. We will re-open the Rezzable Grid for people to help us test/improve OpenSim as well as showcase things that work there. We will continue to operate http://rezzable.com and cover metaverse topics and our virtual locations directory.

Heritage Key is a very exciting new opportunity and we really want/need to focus on this. We have a job position open for a designer/builder. We have tried to find ways to make our investment in time and resources profitable on the SL grid, including participating in the SL Gateway program, but at this point we cannot justify further effort. More than 40 sims and 2 years since first opening the Cannery, we are looking beyond the SL grid and see a bright future.

We would like to thank the SL community for welcoming us when we started and putting up with us while we were active. We have had the privilege to work with some of the best builders, scripters, designers and creators. Our sim staff members have been great and they really added the magical ingredient to why so many people have enjoyed visiting our areas. We have hosted tons of events, parties, art shows and general randomness. More than 2.5 million avatar visits have hit our areas. No idea how many freebies we gave out, but some are still/will be setting sims ablaze
.

While we have not made the kind of money we would have liked to have generated from our work in SL, we have gained a lot. We have learned a lot. We are glad to have encountered so many truly unique people. We hope to make all our supporters, friends and metaverse enthusiasts proud with Heritage Key, which is a combination of quality content, unique virtual online experience and web community.


We are organizing a set of events and of course special sales promotions. More info about the Rezzable grid will be posted soon.
