Here's an interesting article:

Second Life's second act will be a social network for virtual reality

A recent LL statement (emphasis is mine):

"The next generation virtual world will go far beyond what is possible with Second Life, and we don't want to constrain our development by setting backward compatibility with Second Life as an absolute requirement from the start.That doesnt mean you necessarily wont be able to bring parts of your Second Life over, just that our priority in building the next generation platform is to create an incredible experience and enable stunningly high-quality creativity, rather than ensuring that everything could work seamlessly with everything created over Second Lifes 11 year history."

Of course, we'll all have to wait and see how this all falls out but right now I'm on board with this approach. I imagine that LL doesn't want to be stuck with the albatross of sculpts, for example, and I can't say that I blame them.

We've heard this has happened but when we tried to reproduce the problem we couldn't. We tried it both with Firestorm & the LL viewers and were able to scroll down on both so go figure.

If you a problem reading the questions you can contact Skye or Bedrich and they will give them to you. Since I'm doing the quest I don't have them.

Congratulations to the first successful "Travelers":

Anyone that's looking for an entertaining read and/or some quest motivation should take a peek at their journals in the Shared Seas Adventures group.

Too much fun!!

You might want to break it upand doa bit at a time, Tiamat. Another thought is to join a group which should be a bit quicker.

I'm going to be squeezing in my questing between a lot of rl gardening I have to get done. It should be a nice break from weeding & planting.

You read my mind, Mercury!

I was going to post the suggestion that people could quest in small groups. From myexperience with previous quests devised by Skye thisis not going to be easy. I seem to remember being stuck in a cave with water up to my waist the last time I ventured out on one of her challenges.

Groups can be a lot of fun and will definitely make the journey more manageable so I encourage you to go for it.

BTW I started myself yesterday and still haven't found the second treasure chest. At this rate, I expect that I'll be questing until the snow flies! Should any of the other questers find my exhausted avi laying at the side of the road please stop to say hello

I'm glad you like it, Aldo!

Perhaps I'll see you out questing. Since Skye did the riddles & Bedrich did the questions I have the luxury of being able to participate in this challenge. I'm going to go slowly and savour it

Traveler Challenge

This complex challenge requires both intelligence and determination. It will take you across the length & breadth of the Duch de Coeur & Rocca Sorrentina using all available modes of transportation.

Definitely not for the faint of heart!

Start Location: Lieu d'Idylle, Aquitaine Coeur

At each destination on this quest you will have to answer a question. Touch the treasure chest for the question. You may use a Crystal Ball called "Google" to help you find the answers. Most answers are one word, sometimes two. If the answer is a person, it's usually just the last name.

Do not hit return after you type the answer, just type and then click submit. If you hit return, you will get an "incorrect answer" response from the Treasure Chest. If you are correct, the chest will open with a clue scroll to the next destination.

Anyone not in the Duchy group won't be able to rez the scroll so simply "wear" it from your inventory and then edit it to open and read the clue. It will be in your right hand if you wear it. If it hides in your clothing, simply "fly" for a moment and your arms will go out to the side. Another alternative is to TP home and then back using your return icon on your viewer.

If you are sure you have the right answer and the box doesn't open, contact SkyeRyder Varriale, Tatianadokuchic Varriale or Bedrich Panacek for help.

Part of this quest is to travel through it by the vehicle denoted in the clue. No flying is allowed! You are on the honor system for this part of the quest, but you will know you didn't properly complete it if you cheat.

In testing, we ran into some terrible region crossings. If that occurs, you are allowed to get yourself out of the issue and back to where you were by any means, even flying. That is the only exception!

Happy travels!

This challenge is open to everyone.

Members of the Shared Seas Adventurers Group should use their journals to include pictures of themselves using each mode of transportation PLUS a picture of themselves holding their quest trophy at the end of their adventure. You will be awarded a Traveler Badge when your journal entry has been completed.

Considering the printing techniques of the time, it's not surprising that there is only one copy of this book.

It's been making the rounds of the internet this week which is very cool. After 300+ years it's getting some well deserved time in the sun

With the arrival of spring I've been revisiting my own blogging journey so Strawberry Singh's Blogging Journey Challenge isvery timely indeed. What a wonderful opportunity to reflect on my travels, ponder the paths taken by other Second Life bloggers and make some corrections to my current course. Thank you, Berry for launching another excellent adventure!

Which electronic devices do you use to blog with? Tatiana, Duchesse de Provence Coeur, would say she uses only the finest quill pen and perhaps some oil paints. I keep it almost as basic and stick to my computer.

Are you a grammar junkie? Do you thoroughly check your blog for errors before posting and/or do you judge other peoples posts if they contain errors? I do make an effort to act as my own editor (it's not easy) with the goal of communicating clearly. As for judging other people's posts; I firmly believe that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
