New Second Life 2
I am anxious about the next SL. Please refer to the precious article if you are interested in.
Assuming that the next SL will coexist with the current SL as announced by Linden. Hereout, “Current land, inventory, or avatar cannot be transferred to the new SL.
If possible to transfer land or object, there is no meaning to keep the current SL. Avatar name, appearance, or Linden dollars could be transferred technically though.
It is not clear how the SIM system will be, but if the current SIM layout or ownership were continued, it also may not be necessary to keep current SL.
Accordingly, it should be considered that the new SL will be a new world that is completely different one from the current one.
Possible scenario could be:
1. The new SL becomes very popular and expands explosively, and the current SL fades out within a few years.
2. The new SL becomes another world for creators with advanced tools and 3D viewers, ant the current SL keeps going.
3. The new SL does not expand as expected. On the other hand, the current SL further deteriorates, and the whole SL shrinks.
A key point might be, how long it will take to expand the new SL.
Different from 10 years ago when virtual worlds were accepted with enthusiastic backing, now we users have critical eyes and there are other various worlds available, it is not easy to build up a world from ground. Especially because the builders are not Linden but the participating resident.
Residents do not have obligation to build up the world with cooperation efforts. We will come if it seems interesting, ad not if not. The current responsibility to keep running for other resident if once started will not be applied for the start of new world.
The most appropriate way for onlookers might be “to keep watching the progress without any more large investment to SL”. Creators, please stay as long as possible to maintain current SL^-^
