Does this place exist? Does anyone have a location for it? - I have always wanted to go and see since I heard of it but could never find it.
Thanks

I remember being told about a place in SL where the power source of the grid resided and it was like a power station with a hamster wheel attached. The myth was that hamsters powered the grid, this was a long time before I was in SL but it caught my imagination.

If its hamsters, I think Raymond would know.
If its hot air, I think you could tap off of certain forums posters If its human bio-electricity - then blame LL for selling those special LL deal headsets, maybe. |

*laughs* good answer but I will be disappointed if the place turns out to be just a myth

The source of the grid's power is a ring worn the right hand of Philip Linden.

Actually it was an avatar wheel, you could sit on a pose ball inside and help power the grid. Sorry, I have no recollection of the location. There was this blinding white light, lifting me up into the sky... _____________________

So it did exist at least - wonderful, hopefully someone else has more. I do hope it still exists today.

I think I've seen one of those! It was in the courtyard in the middle of the Son sim.
Last time I went there, though, it was gone... _____________________

aradia aslymn made them along with her other hobo freebie stuff (I prolly spelled her name wrong) Arcadia Asylum. Sadly, she's not been in SL for months, and might be gone for good. We should of had Marianne's neighbors take the hamster's place. /me snickers Mari _____________________

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things. Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut. |
