Looking the Second Life metaverse through the eyes of reality

(Un)Real estate

There are more sims in private estates than there are in Mainland, but none of those third-party ventures compare to Governor Linden’s possessions when it comes to sailing. That’s why I’ve been trying to find a piece of coastal area in Nautilus, the continent with –apparently– the most sailing activities of all, so I could simply sail to wherever there is maritime action. Yet, it has proven to be an extremely difficult endeavor. Why? Because everything is already taken, and what little becomes available isn’t necessarily a nice parcel. Here are five of the few spots in the market right now.

Plot 1 Sim: Otherwhen
Size: 1536 sq.m.
Price: 200,000L
Worth: 6+ years of rent in my current parcel.
Comments: Fabulous land, isn’t it? Owners of those three heart sims (a rentals service) only have to activate banlines and you’re trapped in that 256×256 square forever.
Plot 2 Sim: Watchman
Size: 512 sq.m.
Price: 200,000L
Worth: 6+ years of rent in my current parcel.
Comments: For the previous parcel price, this is a better choice, with a 512 sq.m. plot with secured access to the sea ad perpetuam. I couldn’t go wrong with this one, could I?
Plot 3 Sim: Inquestor
Size: 1536 sq.m.
Price: 500,000L
Worth: 15.7 years of rent in my current parcel.
Comments: Half a million lindens to keep a piece of land showing up on search, and bots to create artificial traffic. I could buy it, but I better leave it to its current owner.
Plot 4 Sim: Vianemoren
Size: 35,472 sq.m.
Price: 638,496L
Worth: 20+ years of rent in my current parcel.
Comments: Only L$18.0/m2, a real bargain (smaller parcels sells for L$34/m2) only that for such a price, I could buy, new, 2 full sims, a homestead and an openspace region.
Plot 5 Sim: Twice Right
Size: 2048 sq.m.
Price: 750,000L
Worth: 23.5 years of rent in my current parcel.
Comments: Because I’ve always dreamed of living right next to a gigantic ship: the “legendary” MS Pandora.

Note: This table may look quite borked in some browsers. I can’t do anything to fix it right now, it’s the freaking template.
