Opinion: The Kids are Alright
Last University of Western Australia Sim Has Closed
Sometime on Friday 22 March 2024 Pacific Time the University of Western Australia region left the Second Life grid for good.
Jayjay, Freewee and quadrapop and the rest of the UWA in SL team thank you all for your support and involvement, however big or small, over the years. Without the SL residents interest (artists, videographers, bloggers, gallery owners, performers, and visitors) this project would not have been possible, nor as successful.
There is so much that could be written here about this seminal Second Life project, but the time has come for the project to close."Fairelander" Now Available As A Last Name, Through Inworld Kiosk
Last week at the Linden Jail and Bail. a request was made and answered for the surname Fairelander to be made available. For the rest of Fantasy Faire, thru April 8, 2024, the opportunity to obtain the surname Fairelander for a donation to RFL of 12,500L has been granted to us by the Lab. All who believe in the magic of Junction are Fairelanders in their hearts. Now you can also be a Fairelander by name! Take the landmark to the RFL Fairelander Renami
Checking the kiosk out, there was some fine print. Besides paying the money, one needs to file a ticket with Linden Lab. And the request can be given as a gift as an option. But, only for a limited time. All tickets have to be redeemed by Wednesday May 8.

Linden Lab to Sell Tilia
To accelerate its growth in the United States and its presence in the fast-expanding online gaming market, Thunes, a global cross-border payments company, is proud to announce that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Tilia LLC, an all-in-one payments platform. Tilia is licensed in 48 U.S. states and territories and offers payment solutions (acceptance and pay-outs) for online games, virtual worlds, creator economies, and in-app purchases.
Upon closing of the transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals, Thunes’ bespoke global network to accept and pay in real-time through four billion bank accounts, three billion digital wallets and 550 Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) will become available to merchants across the United States, including current Tilia customers. Using Tilia’s technology, Thunes will be able to offer Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB and UnionPay acceptance to Thunes’ customers.
As part of the transaction, Thunes and Linden Research, Inc. (“Linden Lab”), the current majority owner of Tilia, have agreed to an exclusive five-year partnership in which, post closing, Thunes will provide payment processing and pay-outs to Linden Lab, leveraging Thunes’ global network – allowing gamers to pay, and to receive money real-time, in a more cost-efficient way and with increased transparency.
The Fairelands Quest
Putting on the outfit is optional (it took a while to figure out where the pants were). Once you put the HUD on, you get some backstory to the Quest. It's been seven years since the Bard Queen fell ill to a fever, one that was treated by the Quest that year. But the doctors weren't sure it was an outright cure, and told her she had to wait seven years to make sure it held. It has, and she should be happy. She is overall, but something is worrying her. Your first part of the Quest is to find her somewhere in Fairelands Junction and talk to her.

Bellisseria Anniversary Bumper Boat Challenge
We'll play a game of teams Moles vs Residents and a good old fashioned race around the islands in bumper boats!
The first match ended with the Moles winning three to one. The second match was closer, three to one. Finally, the Lindens and Moles lifted the three boat limit. The result was a huge pileup. The residents ended up winning round three.
