Goodness! That's breathtaking... EXCEPT for my preference for the amber glow of the current SL's splash screen. I lurve watching sunrises and sunsets in Second Life and I don't get that kind of warmth looking at the newbuild's one.
More warmth would also help contrast visually -- GREEN set on ORANGE instead of greenygreen.  five _____________________

Where's all the clubs, white cubes of death, midair abandoned vehicles spewing ungodly amounts of particles, etc....
That's SL? That's not SL! That's SL's MOON! The next frontier.... _____________________

Now who can figure out where that shot was taken (the objects aren't there), and what sims are in the distance?

Hmm...I like both ...your right Torely, I really do like the nice sunset on the current startup page. I like the fact that you can see more of the nice terrain on this one...Looks like some abandoned cold planet though...
At first glance I'm like "Wow!" ....and the more I look at it its ...bleh. Lol okay I like the sunset better  _____________________

it's pretty but kinda boring if you ask me.
I want the ability to use my own shots as a splash screen! After all, I see the splash screen about once every 5 minutes... |

Yeah, I agree with Kris. Might have sentimental value, but I don't think ..
Wow! Gotta play this game. _____________________

I guess that is a screenshot from the new rendering engine. I wonder if it really is? They could have just built a one-off client without the draw distance limitation or something.

Lets all go turn off objects and avatars, and increase draw distance to 4000 until we find it.
