One of the popular points that people like to make in discussions about openspace sims is the outdated bit of info from the Lindens that they should not be built upon.

The Lindens now have at least 2 openspaces with significant builds ready to be explored by everyone. I don't know what they intend to do with these, but they look pretty cool. (you've got to make yourself forget that the moon base is in the middle of the ocean).

I've got no real question, just wanted to point out the obvious change of stance by LL as far as openspaces go.

I was wondering when they'd open those to the public.

Oh, I've always liked Harry's ship in Mohr - pretty sure that one is an openspace. If not, there are some around the mainland lakes - this sort of thing has been around quietly for ages.

With the advent of class 5 regions and havok4, it's been a real game-changer for openspaces. Before that - yeah, I'd agree it was some pretty rough going on them.

My own experience...

I did visit the sims referenced with a friend. LL never said you can't build on an open space, but that it is intended for light use. Also, keep in mind that the builds and scripts appear to be done by Linden Department of Public Works. We were very impressed with the sim performance when using the cool vehicles. I was able to drive aboard the space base shuttle with the space base buggy and that was pretty awesome!

My point is this...we were just 2 people on the sim and everything there seems well scripted and built. I am not so sure the average SLer would have the same result.
