Terrence Linden’s Meeting with Teens at Club Eutopia

Terrence’s meeting with the teens at Club Eutopia yesterday addressed a number of questions and confusions regarding the Merge, which is, as was said, to happen in the first week of January in 2011.

Here’s some key points of the meeting:

• The Merge will be completed sometime during the first week of January in 2011.
• 16-17 year olds will transfer while 13-15 year olds who are not involved in an Instution will be held back.
• These 13-15 year old accounts will be frozen until they turn 16.
• Friends, groups, land, money, and everything in your inventory will be preserved.
• 13-15 year olds should cash out L$ and get rid of their land because they won’t be able to pay for it.
• Teens will not be labeled in any way or form.
• G-rated sims make up about 15% of the Grid, and 80% of these G-rated sims do NOT border Mature/Adult sims.
• Teens do not need to worry about age verification or transferring because all of that will be taken care of by LL.
• Adults will be able to communicate and do everything with teens, including go to the TG sims.
• Teens will be able to access XStreet, but will not be able to access Mature content.
• The massive amount of copybotted stuff on TG will be dealt with through DMCAs/ARs.

Jeebus, I’m old!

Many weeks ago, I wondered how old I’d be on SL when the Grid Merge happens. So, I figured out that on December 31st, I will be 724 days old, 6 days shy of 730, which would mark my Rezday (January 6th). I tend to figure random things like this up when I’m bored. 😀

The Grid Merge: New info

I decided to e-mail Terrence Linden, asking him if 13-15 year olds who own land will be grandfathered in and allowed to be on PG/“G” sims like the 16-17 year olds. His response was that there will be no grandfathering.

It’s good to know this because I was wondering for quite some time just what would happen to 13-15 year old land owners.

 

 

 

I’m back, mateys!

After a few month hiatus, I have returned to post more stuff. Seeing that the Grid Merge is right around the corner, I plan on documenting some things that may interest adults who want to know beforehand what and who will be joining their ranks after New Year’s. I plan on posting a whole bunch of stuff right off the bat tomorrow.
