Locus Amoenus Inauguration Ceremony

Gwyneth Llewelyn — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 09:27:59 +0000

Locus Amoenus, our fourth sim, was formally opened yesterday to the public (and to anyone wishing to buy land in it!), with an inauguration ceremony devised by the New Guild (based on Etruscan, Greek, and Roman ceremonies inaugurating new cities).

Well attended, the formal opening finished with lots of Greek music, streamed by Naftali Torok.

The New Guild has set up some new blogs:

CDS General Master Plan
Locus Amoenus, the blog for the new, fourth sim of the CDS
and of course, the blog for the New Guild itself

Soon these will all be merged in the upcoming, unified CDS Portal. In the mean time, we hope you enjoy the updated news!

Neufreistadt Gets Much-Needed Upgrade!

Gwyneth Llewelyn — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 03:03:57 +0000

Thanks to Linden Lab’s phasing out the old Class 3 servers, we got a brand new server to run Neufreistadt on top of it — a latest-generation Class 5 server!

This should allow us all to get more people on the sim at the same time. Oh yes, it will still lag on your client due to the heavy textures, of course… but at least the sim shouldn’t suffer so much!

More information can be read on the forums.

Video of Alpine Meadow (and the CDS)

Thanks to Extropia DaSilva’s airship, we managed to make a nice tour of the CDS, focusing on crossing Alpine Meadow often.

Alpine Meadow Delivered!

Gwyneth Llewelyn — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 02:24:39 +0000

Linden Lab gave the CDS citizens a nice gift for Thanksgiving: the Alpine Meadow sim was delivered today! Minimal terraforming has been applied to the new sim to give you a rough idea on how it will look like. This is a view taken from Colonia Nova, looking up the immense slope towards the city walls of Neufreistadt!

Alpine Meadow approved; pre-ordering accepted!

Gwyneth Llewelyn — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 21:45:02 +0000

To all of you interested in potentially buying a new plot in the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, the new sim — Alpine Meadow — has been approved and is currently accepting pre-orders.

Please get in touch with our Treasurer and Estate Manager, Sudane Erato, if you wish to reserve a parcel!
