New Desperation Isle is nearing completion, and the mall is now ready for vendors to begin claiming stalls and setting up. The island is restricted to members of my "Mistress Wildefire's Sub-space" group only. The island opens officially next Monday, the 8th.

Please see the New Desperation Isle FAQ (http://desperationisle.blogspot.com/2007/09/big-changes-at-desperation-isle.html) for comprehensive details regarding the transition plan and our flexible new rental rates. Also refer to the slightly-updated Rules for Mall Renters (http://desperationisle.blogspot.com/2007/10/new-desperation-isle-mall-rules-and.html). Note that the world map still hasn't updated, so just search for "New Desperation Isle" in Search > Places or go to the Picks in my profile.
