Second Life Community - All Activity
  1. Congrats to everyone who managed to grab a store, I hope your sanity is still intact 🤪 I finally found time to visit a few of the Commercial Districts as I've been busy with RL. Overall, I like the look and feel of them and they work well with the RE Homes on the adjoining regions. Thank you to all the Moles who worked sooo hard on this project! It was interesting seeing the different types of stores. Personally, I'm okay with a balanced mix of small businesses and big name stores, as long as the stores add some value to the community. If they do that, then this has the potential to be quite a symbiotic relationship. I would personally love to see the big name stores offer something special at their RE store, so that it's not JUST another satellite store. One example, off the top of my head, could be that they offer an Exclusive Gift which is available ONLY at their RE store - something desirable that gives people a real reason to visit that specific location. Or maybe the big stores could use their RE location as an Outlet destination to attract bargain hunters? I know of a few big names that have their Outlet area up in a skybox, so this could be a different option for them, plus they'd get to free up some land impact for newer releases at their main store. I also think it would be really cool if ALL of the RE merchants, big and small alike, collaborated on weekly, monthly, and/or seasonal events, with fun promotions like themed sales, hunts, and other cool initiatives. I'm talking buzz-worthy events that continue to generate excitement, traffic, and engagement for these districts long after the initial novelty has worn off. Oh, speaking of events... I'm now wondering what the rules are regarding events in these Commercial Districts? Hmmm. This sure is going to be an interesting experiment, and one that LL will probably be keeping a close eye on and tweaking as time goes on. I know there's been a lot of hiccups but I view this as an adventure and I'm looking forward to having fun with it. I wait with excited anticipation for the next batch of stores to be released. In the meantime, I'll do what I do best... explore! 😁
  2. I did, but until I edited the scripts by adding and deleting a space, it just would not work.
  3. Brother. It's been less than a day. Please man. You'll be okay.
  4. Stores are being filled in. As in RL, they're mostly women's clothing. One store had a vending machine which gave me a freebie handbag. Now this is a mall, from the peak of mall history. These new SL malls lack two things important to a mall: anchor stores and entertainment venues. An anchor tenant for an SL mall needs to be a place that will be re-visited frequently. Maybe a big freebie store. Or an pop-up event space for one of the regular shopping events.
