Governor Linden is adding land at a breakneck pace -- the number of Regions coming up for auction and rush means that there has never been an better time to pick up a parcel in Second Life!
Land Rush!
Portions of Purple and Argent will be distributed to the fastest Av's this weekend. The parcels, mostly in the 512 or 1024 square meter range, will be first come, first served, ONE PER CUSTOMER. The land rush in Mature-rated Purple gets underway at 3PM PST on Saturday, January 31. The rush in PG-rated Argent is set for 1PM PST the following day: Sunday, February 1. Plan on arriving early -- these parcels will go quickly!
Auction Updates
A number of new regions are going under the hammer at the Linden Auction House. In a new development, all auctions ending after Monday, February 2 will feature Extension Bidding -- any bid placed in the final five minutes of the auction actually extends the close by an additional five minutes. Thinking about sniping? With Extension Bidding, you'll have to think again!
This week's Auction Schedule includes parcels in no fewer than six Regions. The starring item, without a doubt, is the auction of Umber -- a near entire sim going for Linden Dollars!

Saturday and Sunday, January 31 - February 1
Auctions, some in Linden Dollars and some in US currency, for large parcels in Mature-rated Maroon, end at various times over the course of the weekend. These large parcels feature an abundance of water frontage, and are sure to draw a great deal of interest. Maroon auctions are not subject to Extension Bidding.
Tuesday, February 3
This week's marquee is scheduled to end at 6:15 PM PST -- with Umber -- a Mature-rated "end of the world" sim going as one huge parcel to a single bidder...for Linden Dollars! The only thing keeping this from being an entire sim auction is a 4-meter strip the Governor is holding along three edges. The winning bidder will enjoy a picturesque 63,032 square meter parcel with a healthy allocation of 14,403 objects. Parcels like this, sold in Linden Dollars, are extremely rare -- if you or your friends have been stuffing Lindens in your mattress, this is the moment you've been waiting for!
