Atlan Tu Sura is Revealed!

Well it happened! In fact, it happened almost right after the last blog entry... Linden Lab finally worked my move ticket, and our Island, Atlan Tu Sura (traslated at 'Gift of the Ancients' in our Lore), was made manifest on the Grid! So for the last 4 days or so, I have been slaving away to get things ready for the actual move! It started with the .RAW file for the shape of the island, and rapidly accelerated from there! Now here we are, 28 .RAW file revisions and 3,000 Prims later, and our first 'Preview' Events were held atop the Pyramid Temple this past evening!

Naturally, I had a lot of cleaning up to do on our old parcel, but I did leave something behind on Vleet. Residents who use the old Landmarks will find themselves arriving in the newest Sinful Needs Satellite location, where my Mature-Region friendly merchandise will remain available. Additionally, visitors to that location can retrieve a new Landmark to help them reach Atlan Tu Sura!

Our preview events went VERY well last night! We are taking a brief break from our schedule, which will give me a MUCH needed chance to rest & recuperate (mentally & physically), as well as an opportunity to get more of the build ready for oure Grand Re-Opening, which is tentatively scheduled to start next Friday, on July 31st!

Visiting is the best way to see this Isle, but failing that, take a look at the Sinful Needs Flikr stream's new Atlan Tu Sura photoset!

Impending Move

If you've somehow missed the many, many notices I've sent out about it *chuckles*, Sinful Needs will be moving as per the Adult Content changes that Linden Lab is implementing in Second Life. We're currently located in the (mature) Mainland region of Vleet. Given the nature of the events in our Club & Dungeon, as well as the upcoming release of Sinteract!, we will have to move to an Adult region.

Most of you also know that I have been eager to get off the Mainland and onto a Private Region for some time now. Well serendipity has struck! Thanks to LL forcing the move, we qualify to move to a Private Region without having to fuss with trying to sell our current parcels and whatnot. We're jumping on the opportunity, and I cannot wait to get moved!

The new region will be opening some other doors for us as well. Sinjun & I have been working on some roleplaying Lore, and we have some very big plans to pursue in that direction over the next year as well, starting shortly after the move and progressing as quickly as resources will allow to institute a full on roleplaying Estate. I really think you all are going to enjoy what we have cooking!

Finally, once we get moved, expect to bear witness to a full-scale Grand Re-Opening of Sinful Needs, including the Store and the Club Events. We're talking a completely new build, tons of new stuff for the store, and the long-awaited release of A4 & Sinteract! Depending on when we are graced with the actual move, I expect this to be a weekend-long event you will just not want to miss! More info coming just as soon as LL updates my move ticket... which I think could possibly be this week ;)
