Renting in Second Life is something we
all do or have done. The only thing is
deciding where, what, and who to rent from.
There are many factors: Price, amount of prims you want, what you'd like
the land for, and how much interaction you'd like with the landlord or
lady. It is so much more than just
finding a place you like and handing over the lindens. I went exploring options in Second Life, from
skyboxes to just land. It is always good
to explore options before settling on anything.
Seychelles
Isles
Teleport inside a beautiful Yacht Club
in Port Victoria Isle. Upstairs there is
two boards set up to see available land and available boat slips. To purchase property you must contact one of
four people, Jericho Napoli, Baila Palmira, IrishGent, or Ericaanne. There is a staff board set up across from the
land boards to let you know who is currently online to contact. The purchase price is one week's tier plus
the first month's tier which helps pay for domain costs, support staff,
community costs, advertising, and landscaping among other things. Once you pay for your land, you'll be invited
to the group for residents as well as the Seychelles Isles Yacht Club. There is a builder available to make sure all
parcels are consistent with the theme and aesthetic tropical design Seychelles
has established. Custom terraforming is
available to tenants. The waterways are
connected with direct access to the Linden Ocean and the Blake Sea promoting
boating and flying. To invite anyone to
the group you have to contact either the CEO or Chief Operations Officer, this
protects everyone's privacy making Seychelles Isles more secure for each
tenant.
Virtual
Reality Skybox, Skybox Rental
When you teleport into skybox rentals
it is an office with boards to click for information on the inside, outside are
teleporters to take you to each skybox.
The scenery and housing can be changed anytime here, some are fully furnished. There is mention if you'd like unfurnished
there might be a price break. Prices
starting at 295 L's a week. Security
orbs allow tenants to decide who is allowed within their home, all intruders
are ejected when they get within 1m of the skybox. It is a virtual reality cube located high in
the clouds. For privacy, you are not seen from the outside. There were several options from just a plain
platform to a ritzy motel room, an Egyptian setup, even a deserted island
looking house surrounded by water. There
are over 20 scenes to choose from. The
beds, some furniture are equipped with pose balls, there are available prims to
buy and use to decorate as you wish. The
radio is set to Contemporary music and cannot be changed without affecting all
the tenants, also the TV isn't set to keep lag down.
Mystic
Rentals
As soon as I landed at Mystic Rental
property there was a rental agent there to help me. She was filled with information, knew all
available lands, and gave me links to helping me find the perfect land to suit
my needs. There is a Marketplace
available to check out the lands from Mystic at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/149942
. There is also a website with
information www.mysticalrentals.com
On each land is a rental box with all the information you would need. There is different size rez areas and also
different themes to chose from. There
are full sized parcels available at 1480 L's a week with 1005 prims, 980 L's a
week with 702 prims, and 1/4 sized parcels available at 480 a week with 310
prims. There are 15 themes to choose
from. You receive a prim counter and a
intan dance ball. All properties are
private and come with security orbs that give you eject and ban rights. There is a radio hud for each land, and
access to shared TV media. What I love
is the websites allowing you to search around at the options without having to
visit each one. First time tenants here
get a 5% discount if they rent for four weeks with their initial payment plus
ten days free.
Bella
Pointe
You teleport into an office filled
with boards of the different lands available here. Then you have to click the board of whatever
land you are interested in to receive information. They rent commercial land from the small
rentals of 16,384 square meters with 250 prims for 399 to the large rentals of
65,536 square meters with 1000 prims for 1499 L. There are Winter Bliss domes to choose from,
Hollow, Cove, Sakura Island, a Mountain Retreat, and Canyon Falls. Each has options of 65,536 sqm- 1000 prims
for 1499 L, Medium rentals of 32,768 sqm-500 prims for 799 L's, and Small
rentals of 16,384 sqm with 250 prims for 399 L's. No one that worked there teleported in while
I was there, there is names to message with any problems, but I might talk to
them first. It says in note card that
once you pay into the available sign that the next available member of
management will stop by to move the signs out of your way and check in on
you. I like to be at least on talking
terms when I rent from someone (personal choice) so would have to message and
meet to see if I did need something there would be someone available.
KC
Estates
As soon as you touch ground there is a
bot greeting you. Each option has a
picture showing how many available, prims, price, and teleport so that you can
look from their office. The castle look
is only 190 L's a week with 40 prims,a Vegas look with three floors and 40
prims a week for 240 L's, a pink skybox (win) with two floors and 40 prims for
240 L's a week, and a beach with 350 prims for 700 L a week. The beach does say it is a quarter of sim
though, which isn't a bad deal. You
can't use a TV or a radio in the skyboxes, but you can change for another model
anytime and your rent will be transferred.
The skyboxes here are older styled, but great animations.
Shark
Key Residential Land
This is a beach themed residential sim
with the option of furnished or unfurnished space and 937 prims. 4096 sqm
furnished is 1400 L's a week or unfurnished is 1300 L's a week. Gypsylynn Whelan is the manager to
contact. There are no poofers, temp
rezzers, or breedables to keep the land low lag. Each parcel has privacy rights restricting
voice, gestures so that you can be only seen and heard by those on your
own. You have terraform rights on parcel
allowing you to achieve whatever look you'd chose to go for: from beach homes,
tiki huts, cabins, or villas. The land
is beautiful with many options for decorations and living choice.
