As with RL , in SL you need a home some place to call your own. I own a large corner of Alturing and Kerala. I came to SL with an idea, a vision of things i wanted to see and do. Thankfuly my RL allowes me to do that. But reciently I began thinking about somthing. After going exploring one day and noticing all the rentals that are going up, and the prices of the rentals, I decided to do some of my owne. with all the people paying high rent for a shack by the beach. My idea was a 2 story studio with access to a large garden area, and a reasonable rent, one a camper might be able to afford. As of January 15 09 im still working on it but get closer every day. The thing about SL thats so unlike RL is that the laws of physics dont apply, and i do let my mind expand into that, you can build high in the air or with long spans that float and know its not going to fall and kill someone. AS far as the geeks with guns go, TURN OF THE SCRIPTS , or like me be on moast of the time, so they can be ejected or delt with in a less kind way.

Haha! I was freaked out when you mentioned seeing things in real life and copying them into Second Life – thats exactly what i do! I see an interesting building in Real life, then dash home to try my hand at the architecture.

Love it!

Hi, I liked your writing about having a home in Second Life. I’ve just entered the world and dreaming of a home of my own. Nothing fancy, just somewhere I could relax with friends and decorate. Sadly I haven’t understood completely how to do yet, but I’m working at it. Maybee I will say hi if you still can be found at S.L. My name there is Yvja Urvilan. Take care!

If anyone is looking for affordable Second Life rental homes, please take a look at the SP3 website, http://www.freewebs.com/sp3rental/.

Plenty of places to choose from at L$295 a week, and no need to pay premium membership.

The company has been operating for around 18 months, and we have some tenants that have been renting continuously for a year, which in Second Life terms is a very long time – so we must be doing something right!

I’d love to rent a place as not keen to buy at the moment. Is this really possible? Where can I find out where to rent from? Sorry to ask, I’m a newbie *blush*.

Yes, you just cant buy it from Linden, you need to go through one of the other dealers.

Are you sure we can buy a land with a basic account? Can I own a land with a basic account?
