Month: October 2017

As I have already mentioned on this blog, Second Life and Sansar creator Maxwell Graf is going through a personal crisis. In response, a large group of Second Life merchants have banded together and organized Going to the Max (here’s a link to the Facebook page). The many Second Life creators participating in this event have put up special items for sale, with (in most cases) 100% of the proceeds going directly to Max.

Here’s my supermodel avatar Vanity Fair, wearing a leather-trimmed dress from ISON, bought at the Going to the Max event today. The detail work on this dress is amazing! The dress comes with a HUD which allows you to change the colour to white, grey, black, blue, beige, pink, green, burgundy, or the red you see here. You can pick this up for only L$495.

Here’s the SLURL to the Going to the Max event, which runs Oct. 3rd through 10th:

Tell ’em Ryan/Vanity sent you!

It would appear that Linden Lab has listened to the many sellers who were quite vocal in their disapproval about an upcoming change to the Sansar Store where they would have had to register a credit card in order to continue to sell.

Effective immediately, Linden Lab will not be enforcing the credit card requirement. Here’s a direct quote from Jenn, the Community Manager of Sansar:

Following helpful feedback from Sansar’s creator community, we will not be enforcing the credit card requirement at this time.

Requiring sellers to have payment information on file will help us to combat undesirable behavior in the Store, but we understand that creators around the world may not have a credit card for a variety of reasons.

We are working to support other payment methods, such as PayPal, and plan to revisit this requirement for sellers once we have more available options.

This is good news for the many sellers who did not have (or did not wish to use) a credit card!

 

 

After taking a break for the summer, Draxtor Despres revived his long-running Drax Files Radio Hour podcast, this time with special guests Dulce Baerga and Kelvin D. Olson talking with Drax on the topic: Sansar is Here: Now What?

(I’m pretty sure that’s my avatar in the centre of his photo, as we were out on an Atlas Hopping adventure with Berry and Drax!)
