After having been open for over 3 ½ years, immediately following the Midnight event (technically June 1st) on May 31st, 2008 The Edge will be the closing her doors.
Jenna Fairplay opened The Edge on September 5, 2004 on a small parcel then known as DaBoom and has since become the longest running club on the Second Life grid.

Within weeks of its opening it was listed in Second Life's most popular places, reaching number one numerous times. Starting off small the sim was maxed out at 40 people, often times it was the goal of all involved to hit and attempt to exceed that number so the sim would "crash". DaBoom Radio was created and had DJ's who would stream music to all the club goers. In January of 2006, The Edge moved to its own sim called, obviously, Edge. The sim capacity was now at 100! On opening night seeing over 60 people in the sim was a great sight! The Edge reached capacity in the summer of 2006 with 104 people rocking the sim until it overheated and crashed twice in 5 minutes.

Since its opening, The Edge and Jenna Fairplay have been featured in such major publications as Playboy (November 2006), Wired Magazine (October 2006), and many other books regarding Second Life and Entrepreneurship.

As of this release, The Edge employees over 200 managers, hosts, DJ's, and dancers to serve its guests needs. Over the years literally a thousand or more people have been employed by this Second Life Icon.

Up until the final day The Edge will be filled with its usual events, fun, and laughs. Come on the final day for some of the Staff’s favorite events! Please find the schedule of the final day’s events below!

The Edge Management would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of its patrons and employees for the many laughs, joys, and dreams that each of you have shared with us over the years.
