Don't know if this link will be helpful to anyone or not, but here you go. It is for the names of *Sim Neighbors*: http://neighbours.maxcase.info/index.php

It still drives me bonkers that these are so amazingly geologically inconsistent and follow no discernible continental drift pattern... ;)

This is the map I created for NCI/New Citizens Incorporated. To the best of my knowledge it is accurate.

@Carl; Brilliant! I've been looking for something clear & definitive as that for a while. Mind if I dl it for reference?

I love this map! If it's not in the SL History Wiki, may I put it up there, Carl?

Anyone is welcome to use that map for any thing they want to. However, I'd like for it to sit on this thread for a bit to make sure there are no errors pointed out.

If you like, IM me in world for a 1024 x 1024 copy.

Has anyone noticed how much Corsica has grown in the last couple of weeks..WOW..:eek:

I've been kind of focusing on my own stuff lately and havn't been keeping an eye on how things are developing..then Carl's map sent me checking out the area again..loads of land for sale..shopping malls, even a night club..LL's been busy!!

I think you had it right before Carl because Nautilus is the new continent. That's the one with all the water.

Argh! Everyone, please don't use this map until I can find out for sure. I will try to ask some people inworld. Thanks.

I don't think so. The unsold sims there bear the marking "Corsica".

I live on Nautilus and have for months. It is continent 5.

Continent 4 is not Nautilus OR Corsica- I don't know what they call it to be honest.

Corsica is the new continent, as you can see by the selected point corsica_reg7 on the reply map- it's continent 6.

Ok, so other than a -1, no guesses on the server class for the "old" sim?

NOOOOOOO!!! :eek:

Lovely map, but Corsica is #6 and is NORTH of Nautilus... it's not even on your map!

#4 is the currently unnamed eastern continent.

Now you've just confused the newbies! ;)

Just confirming Capella's info. LL has not yet indicated the name for continent #4, and to date I've never seen even a commonly used resident name for it (other than "the eastern continent";). I see Dnali has suggested Satori, but nobody commented on it.

So are we gonna name this sucker or not? Because I'm sure once we agree on a name and get the majority of residents using it, LL will finally tell us what the real name is. :p

I like Satori, although I think maybe it's too nice a name for what is a rather dull continent. ;)

When you're looking at the map and zoom out to max level - what should happen - is that the names pop up over the continents.

How hard could this be to do?

Not very.

Does anyone know what continent Dhaulagiri is in?

R :)

#4 is "the Eastern continent" that caused the first land market correction. We should call it "Black Thursday." :)

Think the name given is that of the specific sim the cursor is hovering over rather than the entire continent.

Also, don't know if it's the same for others but this seems to pack up after the first couple of hoverings on the fully zoomed-out map. If I close & re-open it it then gives me a hovered name once before ceasing to operate.

How about "Eila"? Hindu for "the earth."
