A Post, at Last….
So, I’ve been naughty, I haven’t been blogging for a while. I’ve been busy. I’m writing this on a plane, disconnected of course (oh when will I get my in flight WiFi?), so I have some down time to catch up.
Mostly I have been working on changes to the sim I bought a while back. I purchased a sim a while ago. It had “lessors” on it and I tried to at least break even on the sim. If you were at a couple of the parties I held, like the Blogger Slave auction, it was that sim. Well, it just was not working out financially.
I went to plan B, which was pickup the sim and move into the City of Lost Angels group of sims and turn it from an idealistic mountain retreat into a dystopia nightmare. It’s turned out pretty well I think. I have the sim now all sold out and I have renters in it. I also get to interact with the owners and renters. Plus I get to give back to the City of Lost Angel role playing game in SL by adding more space for the game to play in.
I’m also now in the black on the sim, but before I break out the champaign on that, it is going to take about 6 months to make up for the losses to before the move when it started to empty out and the cost to move and rename the sim. Not to mention how much I paid to buy the sim. In other words, I won’t be retiring on the sim anytime soon. My real hope is to just break even on the sim, maybe come out a few thousand Lindens a month.
Before I moved the sim, I had a few lessors left and I wanted to take care of them. I bought an OpenSpace sim to put them into. This has turned into a demoralizing nightmare for myself from the new LL debacle of the pricing changes. I started out with three lessors in the sim, I’m down to two and one is shaky on staying and other can’t or won’t afford the price increases. Basically the sim is a total loss of about $300-400 I figure as I see it. I finally sold an open lot I had and now I might have a chance of making back on the sim, we shall see.
Lastly I have a new toy to announce shortly.
