Lots of great SL places mentioned - I would add Scotland, Wales and Virtual Bruges to the list :)


OMG there's a virtual Bruges?

This I must see.

Is anyone up for doing a virtual Calais? I am going there this weekend - looking forward to seeing if the rusty shopping trolley dumped in the stream outside the chemical works as you leave the docks is still there - or if the chemicals have gotten to it yet.

/me looks past this brief shopping trip and towards the holiday due in February YAY.

Yes I do know how cold the Netherlands are in February :)

***edit*** oh yes builds. I dunno what it is called but there was an oil refinery there. Anyone seen that?

Everwind is definetly the best medieval sim build-wise. Especially when you force midnight and turn your settings up.

The Alcyon Space yards are astounding watching those cruisers rez is amazing.

Abbots Aerodrome is fantastic too as is the Greenies while Straylight is astoundingly beautiful.

And as for Nexus Prime that amazing utopia city with its dystopian underbelly and the secrets it contains has to be the most atmospheric place Ive visited in my few months in sl...it scared the heebeejeebees out of me...and thats putting it politely.

My top picks...

Buddhist Shrine of Varosha - Stunning, peaceful and serene. Notably built by SL sculptor, Levey Palou.

Intemptesta Nox and Sanctum Sanctorum - Rich amazing colors and very creative builds.

My hubby found an incredible sim this past weekend - so incredible that we spent no less than an hour and a half playing there!

It's Misty Acres - a winter wonderland of fun :)

Your welcome Sally.

At some point I'll plug that all in to an Excel spreadsheet, with proper names, sims, and landmarks.

However, please don't hold your breath, it could take a week (or year) to finish. LOL
