Blake Sea Rez Zones?

Ever get frustrated crashing on the Blake Sea and wondering where the closest rez zone is?

Casual users of the Blake Sea might not be aware of this info but LL will be setting rez zones in the North East corner of all the 44 Blake Sea sims in 54m x54m parcels, starting this weekend. There was talk about making all of the Blake Sea open rez with a short auto-return set but due to griefing concerns, a compromise was met with the NE rez zones. Larger rez zones by start lines will remain.

Great news Joshooah. Now if they can just stop the crashing!

Personally, i would rather them fix the sim crossing issues instead of worrying about rez areas. There are plenty of sims on the Blake Sea that will let you rez stuff. Some are Honah Lee, Tiga, and just about anywhere where there's a sailing/yacht club.

Much talk yet to do between the USS owners, the sailing community, LL, and the groups themselves.




Blake Sea Rezz Zones

At the recent Blake Sea Townhall meeting the issue of Blake Sea rezz zones was discussed. It was felt by nearly everyone that opening the Blake Sea to full rezz would be a great thing. Once we got around to discussing the idea after the townhall meeting there was a general feeling that a completely open Blake Sea would be problematic, not only for greifing reasons, but sandboxing, etc. However it was clearly recognized that the current patchwork of rezz zones was not very user friendly. The compromise that been come up with (which will require more work by LL than simply opening it all up) is to create a checkerboard of regularly spaced rezz zones throughout the Blake Sea. An easy to memorize pattern of zones that will be easy to find and never more than a sim away.

Beginning this weekend the Lindens will begin to convert the Blake Sea rezz areas to a checkerboard of 52m x 52m squares in the northeast corner of each of the 44 Blake Sea sims. It should be a straightforward thing for users to remember that they can rezz in the NE corner of each sim. This also will be a boost for long distance races that traverse the Blake Sea over the current patchwork of rezz areas. If your boat crashes in the Blake Sea there is a convenient place to rerezz close by. The larger rezz areas behind each of the startlines in the Blake Sea will be retained as well.

What Blondin Linden has me to do is start a Forum thread to monitor this change. Over the next week or so these changes will take place. Please add any comments you wish to the SL Sailing Forum version of this post,

So it seems that sea battles in the Blake Sea have been done away with again by the more better and know it all people. Really seems a shame that only one type of sailing can take place in Blake Sea and is controled by only a hand full of people. The intent of the Blake Sea by LL was that it would be open to all types of sailing.

How do you extrapolate from Mr. White's comments this:


What am I missing? From what you quoted, it is appears Mr. White is working with different groups to integrate their needs into the Blake Sea sailing community, and nothing he says prohibits the use of those waters for other legitimate purposes.

If I did miss something, I do apologize, and maybe you need to express your concerns on the SL Sailing groups forums? If I recall correctly, there are two sailing forums available.

I might be a bit noobish but to me it would sound like you couldn't shoot a cannon ball due to no rezz

What you are missing is the middle part. In order to battle you must be able to rez the cannon balls. At a meeting it was agreed that all of Blake Sea would be a rez zone with a auto return of about 5 minutes. Now it will only be in small areas. So the Blake Sea will not be usable for ship battles.

Don't recall that all of the Blake Sea was going to be a rezz zone. Maybe you can present that link as it would be an interesting read.

Ah, yes, rezzing cannonballs could be a problem, see what you mean.

Are you a member of a group that engages in battles? If so, you might discuss this problem with your group, formulate suggestions, and present them to the SL Sailing clubs. People are usually aware of concerns, just don't have all the answers, and your solution may be the one that is needed.

Please read the whole section here the infromation you are looking for is all there. If you require it in a different language let me know.

Just can't resist as this is fun now.

Asked if you are part of a group: No response.
Gave you suggestions on where best to post: No response.
Suggested how to approach your concern: No response.
Asked for a link to where it was ever said that all of the Blake Sea would be a rezzable area: No response.

You post in other threads expecting what exactly?

English works quite well, and would work even better if you weren't such a whiny-butt as you failed to include all the information related to YOUR situation and what attempts YOU made to rectify the current Blake Sea failings as you see them.

Obviously, you just want to complain and solutions are too difficult to think about.

Many people may not agree with the decisions made by MarkTwain White, et. al., but he made it clear he is working with all groups interested in using the Blake Sea for more than just sailing.

Pooh, pooh on you.

If it's fun then you are trolling.

This is very simple. KwaiChang pointed out that Sea Battles are not going to happen under these rules. The ONLY way to change that is to make a portion of the Blake Sea full rez, not just sim corners. The OP's original post also gave the link for this same information that KwaiCHang quoted and you asked for:

"Asked for a link to where it was ever said that all of the Blake Sea would be a rezzable area: No response."

"At the recent Blake Sea Townhall meeting the issue of Blake Sea rezz zones was discussed. It was felt by nearly everyone that opening the Blake Sea to full rezz would be a great thing."

Thank you very much Jesse as it appears you are able to read and to understand what is being said. I can only hope that others will learn to do that. I seem to be able to read and understand it and english is my third language. Enough said.

Yep, I'm just a troll and contribute absolutely nothing to the SL experience, as you so pointedly asked me in another thread.

Curious you pick on only one point of my comments, and the OP still has not answered any others, so I can only assume Jesse you have personal issues with me.
