The Oasis
iay@there: Musings on a Virtual World
In the Calderan desert, an oasis has appeared containing (amongst other things) the first flamingo I’ve seen in There with its feet in water…
It is perhaps too much of a simplification to say that member-built architecture has tended to be along the lines of a large portazone, a couple of sky decks and some components from the Roman builder set. However, the oasis is clearly a departure from the old style.
This has been enabled in part by the new “shop” construction objects, which are being used as small accommodation units. Their flexibility, low price and size (they will fit in a medium builder portazone) has allowed a number of different people to come together to build a little spontaneous village around a shared garden. Perhaps half a dozen portazones of different sizes are involved in the current setup.
