There is an Alternative to Second Life

I think Linden Lab has made a huge blunder in the past three days, one that may have been the straw that broke the camels back. I have posted a number of links, comments and encouraged all to make their voices heard regarding Jack Linden's announcement that LL will increase the cost of living and working in Second Life.

My feeling is that for along time the customers/residents/subscribers of Second life, the creators and consumers of it's content, have felt that Linden Lab has totally disrespecting them and the markets that provide the major reason people bother to log into Second Life.

Now consider this:

OpenLife Grid
