I just wanted to take a quick moment to offer my sincere congratulations to Rocca on the Designing Worlds episode. It was a great representation of your estate and also it shows the passion you both have to it. A wonderful example of how historical estates can help expand history.

Period Clothing Options for Mesh Bodies! Twelfth Night Designs! (UPDATED)
Apparel
Greetings
Reading this from afar, I would also like throw a couple cents in this conversations...:)) I love your new mesh appliers and allowing us to use your clothes with the more modern mesh bodies, but I would like to go a step farther and ask if we can try to get our period creators to the start to offer these for use. We are a very small group of creators that do period clothing and accessories. Maybe we can have some workshops to help teach other creators how to use your older stuff with the new mesh appliers. How to use HUD's to change textures and other ways to bring our period things up to date.

Claire.....thank you so much for the shout out on the Antiquity display and listing some of our other friends....I enjoyed visiting all of them. So well done. I think this year, historical displays have gotten much deserved attention. I also very much enjoyed being with you and the others on the panel with Saffia....good stuff.....Yay....!!!
A 'Modern' Court?

Good day.....I do think this is an interesting idea. I for one, think more historical/period regions, even more modern ones, serve all of us in exposing people to a certain historical perspective the creator is trying to achieve. Much like Berlin, 50's Paris could focus a light on that time of the city.

Thank you so much. *huggs* When I agreed to take responsibility for Antiquity, I took that promise i made to everyone that helped save it....I would do my best to keep it going for as long as I could. I am just trying to live up to my responsibilities.
It also helps, that I love Antiquity and everyone I interact with here in SL....:))

Thank you so much Tatiana, I appreciate your good wishes. *huggs* Yes, some of the "owners" will be doing their individual sims, then we are going to prioritize what is left and start grandfathering them as we can. And yes, I do want to pass on some of the savings to the residents, but we will have to figure out what will give the residents a break yet still allow us to help build a stable foundation.
I hope when all this settles down...we can work on ways to get some of our g&s food eaten..:))

Antiquity, our home for almost 9 years, is really an amazing place. First founded by the Grand Duke Gregg Barrymore and Her Grace, Grand Duchess Angel Magellen, Antiquity quickly became home to a wide variety of people that longed for a live in the much simpler Victorian times. Tall ships, rum and pirates mixed with the nobles of the lands. We shall forever be grateful for the vision of Their Graces, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess.
Over the years, Antiquity has varied in size, but its heart has always been strong and large. Others came, learned how to sail, made friends and even went on to found successful estates of their own. Through all the years, Antiquity has been here. Ever present, every faithful.
Antiquity has never been a for profit estate. Our goal was to offer land at cost. Over the years, this has proved increasingly more difficult. My original business partner and brother had to stop his financial help. Then, last year the price of oil dropped and it effected my rl work. I was cut to half hours. Recently, we have had to let some sims go to help lower the monthly cost of Antiquity. Together with the Owners and Admins we have been pitching in to cover.
At the start of April, Linden Labs announced a program to "Grandfather" regions. At first glance, it is simply an answer to our prayers. Lower tiers. But, there is a catch. Each homestead would cost $180..00 and each full sim would cost $600.00. To do the whole estate would cost in the neighborhood of $3,3500.00. This is an amount far beyond us in one lump sum. We wrote a letter to Linden Labs pleading with them to allow us to pay in payments some how. We mentioned our past financial commitment to Linden Labs, but were refused and dismissed with a one sentence reply.
The Owners and Admins of Antiquity had been praying for lower tiers to allow us to continue for a long time to come. After meeting, we have come up with the following game plan to try to "Grandfather" what we can before the deadline. What is left not "Grandfathered", will be assessed as the full impact of the changes come to more clarity financially. Some of the Owners of complete sims, have offered to cover the cost of their individual sim to be "Grandfathered". The remaining sims we need the community to pool together and help raise money to see what we can cover.
In order for Antiquity to continue in its current state, offering both great sailing and family atmosphere housing for years to come, we ask to please donate to our funding drive. The more regions we can cover, the longer the benefits for the community will be felt. It is our hope to always be a place our past residents and friends can come back to. An old home that never forgets them.
I would like to close this by thanking each and everyone of you that reads this. We really appreciate you taking the time and hope you will consider donating to help us secure a strong continued future.
Thank you very much
