Oh no ... New Haven in #SecondLife is gone?
That is sad ... it was a beautifully built area.

Oh wow, it seems #AzureIslands just made a 'bridge' connecting them to the NorthEast corner of Tuarua Fiji !

This means additional sailing path to East Corsica !

Interesting... Many zero-day regions in #SecondLife

By "zero-day", I mean brand new regions. NOT Security Vulnerabilities.

So something happened to the alliance behind New Haven, but rest assured, the creator is alive and well and still active in #SecondLife

In fact, they have started a new project:

It's interesting to see how many regions #SecondLife has reserved, if one turns off the filtering.

For example, on the northeast corner you can see Gaeta I, II, III, and IV. All looking finished-like.

I see both #SecondNorway and #AzureIslands growing ... I still wonder why they don't connect their waterways, though.

A snapshot of the Second Life World Map, colored to indicate new regions. In this particular shot, you can see 3 new regions: 2 on the northeast corner of Azure Islands, and one on the north-ish sub-areas of Second Norway.

The names of the subdivisions of #Bellisseria have never been canonically set by LL, so the current names are ... messy and confusing.

Here's a sample. The color indicates the source of the names (see Legend on top-left of image)

Oh yeah! This has got to be a #HistoricalMoment for #SecondLife #SecondLifeGeography !!

Should be an article for the #SLGI wiki!!

Can someone check when the "Under Construction" signs were plopped down on Luna and Pomponio?

And someone disabled water rendering and mapped out the undersea tunnel of #TransSansaraCauseway

Refer to the two "recent" map shots below.
