I can't seem to find any information about the packs of 4 'low prim regions' that can be tacked on to a private island.

Anyone have the page URL handy?

Support is, of course, borked at present so I can't ask them.

aren't they called void sims?

from the knowledge base

"nformation about Openspaces (Void Regions)

What are Openspaces and what do they cost?

For those estate owners wishing to provide empty areas such as water, hills and forest -- we offer Openspaces, light use regions sometimes referred to as voids.

An order for an Openspace consists of four low prim regions for the same price as a normal estate -- so (as of November 2006) a USD$1675 initial fee followed by USD$295 per month thereafter. You cannot buy two or six; they come in sets of four per order.

You must already own an estate to be able to order Openspaces because they must be anchored to a normal existing estate that you own, or be used in a series to create space between islands you own. In other words, they cannot be used to "float" space on their own. You should be able to fly from each of the Openspaces and eventually wind up in a regular region you own.

Each of the four is limited to only 1875 prims.

Why are they "light use"?

Whereas normal estates run on their own dedicated CPU, the Openspace regions run four per CPU; this limits their performance, as you would expect. Openspaces only ever share with other Openspaces on a server.

It is therefore important to understand what these regions are. They are provided for light use only, not for building, living in, renting as homes or use for events. As a stretch of open water for boating or a scenic wooded area they are fine, but we do not advise more serious use than this and will not respond to performance issues reported should you not use them in this way.

We're happy to move Openspaces if/when your estates move, but we do ask that you choose your initial placement carefully to avoid unnecessary work."

more info in there

That was the one... assuming they're still available? Anyone got a pack recently?

Another question... does the 50% discount apply for education/nonprofit there too?

Or... should we give Concierge a shout?

Yes, I just got 4 Monday. Still available. Order a normal region, but file a ticket specifying the names and locations of the 4. Put the ticket number as either the region name or Estate Name when you order the region. Note that you have to have at least 1 normal region to attach these void sims to....
