Did you know that there are now over 900 published experiences in Sansar? Today we visited the following experiences, three of which were selected at random from the Sansar Atlas:

Here’s Drax’s livestream of the event:

And here’s Strawberry’s:

There’s a real feeling of camaraderie at these Atlas Hopping events that has developed from the same people meeting week after week, but newcomers are always welcomed!

Update Feb. 25th: Medhue shared some wonderful pictures of our Atlas Hopping adventures, and he gave me permission to post them here. Thanks, Medhue!

Atlas Hopping with Drax and Strawberry, Episode 26!

The theme of today’s Atlas Hopping event was experiences created by novice creators, mostly using items available from the Sansar Store.

Today we visited five experiences:

  • Wood Between the Worlds, by Justin Esparza
  • Ai, by Betty Tureaud
  • Bi, by Betty Tureaud (which you can only get to by walking into the giant head on Ai)
  • Ci, by Betty Tureaud (which you can only get to by walking into the cartoon cat on Bi)
  • ECHO, by Jade Serenity (an experience picked at random from the Sansar Atlas by Strawberry and Drax).

I took some pictures of each of the experiences we visited:

Atlas Hopping with Drax and Strawberry, Episode 25!

Well, I haven’t done this kind of post for a long while! Today I joined Draxtor Despres, Strawberry Singh and a merry band of adventurers as we set off for S.L.A.R.P. (which stands for Sansar Live Action Role Play, I believe), Nya Alchemi’s medieval-themed experience. Linden Lab CEO Ebbe Altberg once again joined us, which is becoming a regular thing.

I didn’t take any pictures this time (too busy having fun), but here are links to the YouTube livestreams of today’s event, the first by Strawberry Singh:

And the second by Drax himself:

Scene of the Day: White Out and the Atlas Hopping Scavenger Hunt (Plus Nine Things I Learned)

I have never had so much fun in Sansar! We had well over twenty avatars show up in-world for the first-ever Atlas Hopping Scavenger Hunt. And I learned a few things:

  1. Drax can’t stop talking.
  2. You never appreciate how large a Sansar experience can be until you’re hunting for something small.
  3. Drax can’t stop talking.
  4. Drax has an unhealthy attachment to his German hand puppet.
  5. Drax can’t stop talking.
  6. Dynamic objects can clump together into one big ball when an experience crashes.
  7. Drax can’t stop talking.
  8. Teleporting is much faster than running, but whenever I picked up a scavenger hunt item in my VR headset, I found I couldn’t teleport at the same time.
  9. Did I mention, that DRAX CAN’T STOP TALKING?!??

Here’s Drax’s livestream of the event, which culminated in an exclusive first tour of the new sci-fi Sansar experience, 2077:
