Have you made arrangements?

I have not but have recently been thinking about this since someone very close to me just passed away in RL. Thankfully, her RL sister plays SL so we were able to find out right away. I have ordered the Last Will and Testiment and will give that a shot. Sounds like something very useful in a world where most people do not know how to reach someone in their RL.

Don't hate me, but yes that is how I see it. To me, SL is a video game....I play it to escape RL and to have some fun.

Well, we all play differently, I'll grant you that.

In my SL, I've made several close personal friends. *shrug*

Cues the food fight in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...........

I'm sure you guys would find out...

But I do need to figure out what to do with the shop if anything happens. My guess is, it would just tier out.

The way I see it...My tenants have paid me money that, if I died, and they still had rent credit, they should get that money back. My husband won't keep the sim going after I die, so my general manager has instructions to notify the tenants, refund their money, and abandon the sim before the next tier date. And she's, of course, to notify those people on a short list of 6..some with instructions to notify others, where appropriate.

The only person I made provision for is my SL partner. I gave my mother's phone number to him and told him to ONLY use it if I was not online for a prolonged period of time.

As far as any people in my RL who could contact online friends, I really don't have any. My mother thinks computer games are a waste of time (although she's slowly coming around when I tell her more about SL), but she has never used a computer and wouldn't have the first idea how to even get into SL or post on the forums.

I really don't have any significant business ventures in SL and keep just a minimum amount of cash in the credit card provided to SL.

I think I can think of three people that might be alarmed. But even then, I'm unclear what they actually think of me. I've pretty much sold myself up as as a pretty epic perv, so it's a bit odd to me if anyone lets me in closer than arm's length. (>_<

I have set up an "emergency plan" in case something happens to me. It doesn't have to be "the extreme" - but just landing in the hospital for any length of time without access to a computer would obviously keep me away from SL.

A close friend of mine has information on how to contact my "emergency contact" inside SL via email. She is then to contact my other SL friends - among others my SL husband so he is not alone if he gets really bad news about me.

I set up this "plan" after a friend of mine's SL partner hadn't shown for a week without any news - and that after normally spending hours with each other on SL/Skype. As it turns out, he had had a motorcycle accident and had ended up in the hospital with a broken leg. But it did get us thinking...

Now if I could only convince my SL hubby to do the same - of course he's invincible *sigh*

What, that's crazy, I can't understand why someone would do that.

To answer the OP question, no I haven't.

I don't want anyone to know if i was dying or had died..
i would much rather fade away..it would be nice if it could be done that way in RL as well..
knowing we were close and had time to get ready and just fade away..
if i knew a week ahead of time.i would go to my favorite spot which is the the back side of the mountain and just clear my mind of all the clutter in life and look at nature and take it all in..

oh crap i just told you guys!!!!
hehehehe

I have my wife and 2 grown daughters active in SL, so we are covered.

This is so cool. Thanks for making for this for us.

If i ever just fell off the grid, Nina has my RL info and can email or call my house directly if she needed to (oooooo yea i better be dead already if that happens...hahahaha).

My mother is in SL. If something happens to me, she is to notify the current Cartel group owners. Anyone that I know that is not in the group will just have to hear about stuff thru the grapevine, I guess.

I would end up not making my tier rental payments and then Elanthius would take the tier back which would then result in the land automatically being taken -- maybe I'll instruct mom to let Elanthius know so he doesn't think I just bailed. As of yet, I don't have a business to worry about.

I have similar concerns, I would rather give my business away to some deserving person then see it all fade away.

You are very welcome, I was sure I was not the only person with similar concerns.

I expect to come out with the upgraded version by the end of this week. So anyone considering setting up the Last Will and Testament, I suggest you focus on writing what you want in the notecard it sends out, as you can easily drop that into the new version and it will work fine, and it will be easier to set up.

My rl partner is also my sl partner.. so if something happends to one of us, not being able to login for long (or permanent in the worst case), then the other can login as the other (or contact some "friends" we both share, a handfull actually) to tell them.
It's up to them to believe it or not.
Anyway, if my partner leaves sl, for one of the two scenario's i'm quiting shortly thereafter too. (after some arrangements)
(maybe permanent or timeout fase, cause of the memories.)

Anyway, we know from eachother what's up. so no problem on that side.

At most one or two people would notice my absence and feel bad about it. A few more would notice my absence and be glad I'm gone.

I have no plan to explain an absence from SL to anyone. I'm not much of plan ahead type.

I have a RL friend that has all my account information, and it's in my will to fund SL with enough to pay for my land for at least 2 years after my death. Have that since I have friends who are staying on my land, and don't want to strand them. Also, want all the people I care about to know what happened - not just to vanish and they have to wonder.

Although many of my work associates wouldn't even notice I was missing, I do have a few very close friends whom I consider to be my family in SL . For me, RL and SL do not mingle and they interact as little as possible. But my SL family would want to know should something happen to my RL user.

To that end, a RL friend of mine and I have swapped envelopes with instructions for each of us in the event of the other's demise. It contains things like the lock codes on safes, e-mail login information, bank account numbers, people who need to be contacted, etc ... (I'm sure his envelope contains instructions to destroy his hard drive ... LOL ).

In my envelope, I have my login information and instructions to contact my closest and dearest friend in SL. He is to provide her with the information regarding my demise, as well as providing her my login information so that she can distribute my $$$ and belongings as she sees fit.

Here's my question .... with SL exchange and my in-world vendors .... it's possible that I could continue to amass funds even though I no longe exist. *giggles* ... who is gonna log in and grab all that money?

I considered making myself something just like that, but was always worried something would trigger it unnecessarily, I'd be unable to log in for some reason to reset it, or I'd lose interest and forget to deactivate it before quitting. I'd probably include a RL contact number for next of kin in my message, so friends could confirm whether or not rumours of my death had been exaggerated.

I've made arrangements to have my pixels scattered at the various places listed in my picks.

I've sworn in my brother to log on and notify a specified person. I made *sure* he knows what to do and whom to notify.

I also instructed him to send out word if I am not able to get into SL to say 'Whops, will be a while' or something.

seen that happen. yip some one i knew and work for befor fake all the way
