I've just been trying WoW. I'm already sick of having to kill endless ugly little mindless creatures. But if I don't, and just try to explore, my lowgrade armor soon deteriorates and I get killed by puny creatures myself when I put my nose outside my home area.
But I AM very impressed by the graphics, particularly the interior space, on a particularly grand scale ( Ironforge, the Dwarf's underground city for example).
My question is - can anyone tell me where to find SL's best in this regard? ie the building interiors with the loftiest ceilings and the grandest enclosed volumes ?
I wanna go see.

Maxx Monde, Lordfly Digerdoo, and Marcos Fonzarelli (at least one building) make some pretty large scale buildings. You may want to do a search for them!

There's a casino in Pandora that takes up the whole sim.

As for mindless, fragile creatures that will kill instnatly, those are called Clubbers. Just blastthem before the get withing LOD range.

If only we had meshes in Second Life *sigh* WOW does look great and building out of prims can look extremely good but you'll never have the fluidity that an environment built with meshes can provide. It'll always look clunky in comparison.

The WoW Thread. Feel free to post what server your on and all that stuff. Any tips for a nub is appreciated. As for grand interiors in SL, the United Nations building on "The Port" is pretty impressive.

There's something huge in Gibson - or at least, there used to be! Taggy showed me around it once.

Well. If I were in an offending mood, I'd say the space betreen ______'s ears is x sims wide. Or I could mention the gap between LL's promises and actual product. Or the chasm seperating Pre-1.5's acurate build snapping compared to what we have today. Those are some huge spaces.

Doesn't exist yet, but I have planned a 1280 prim geodesic sphere (made using Jeffrey Gomez's object importer), with a radius of 60m, and a volume of 900,000 m^3.
Pic of the (smaller prototype) sphere in progress below.
Someone was doing sim spanning arch coverings IIRC. Don't remember who.

I've just built a store for a customer large enough I could land my 737 inside it, other then that your best bet is a mega mall/casino/club/skypad. Of course they won't be the best detailed out there either.

I wanna go see. Wish I'd known. A couple (?) of weeks ago I built a complex of black shiny 60m tunnels at about 400m altitude that covered most of the airspace over Newcomb, Goguen, and Cordova. With view distance set at 256m it was pretty cool. I've got an autoconstructor that'll put up a smaller square version around the edge of a Sim -- I dunno, I've got a half-baked plan to hold aircraft races. My VR cube is only 40m on a side, but it can simulate a larger area. Sorta. I've got one set up on Igbo at about 250m, ya can't miss it. (BTW, Seifert, I really wanna see your sphere sometime -- I was way tied up when your TP invite came in, sorry) Jess

I haven't seen this in SL yet, but I mentioned it to CrystalShard Foo the other day. If someone were to make a reconstruction (both based on and imagined) of the AM (Allied Mastercomputer, later i AM) from Harlan Ellison's " I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream", this would be a truely impressive interior. Imagine being trapped in the belly of such a beast! I also don't hesitate to mention how masterful a tale this is. It's very anti-SL in its attitude, you could retroactively say, and I recommend it as a read if you have a few minutes!

God, I hate to admit it, but I first read this when it was new. It's still the feel-good story of the year! (Torley, I had no idea you were such a science fiction fan  I just re-read the story, though, and it makes me wonder why Ellison sued James Cameron over "Soldier" and not "IHNMaIMS"  Jess

I am late in catching up but these are timeless treasures to me. I lurve schtuff like this, and now that you mention it, I wonder too! If you have any more marvelous rec's for what I should read, especially if I can find it on the Internets, lemme know please! I had a friend who read "IMNHaIMS" (what an acronym!) and thot it was a "rip-off" of The Matrix. I had to smile at that, I couldn't not!

SLs most gigantic interior? Wouldn't that be a certain someone's ego?
