The Magellan Community is Growing!

Let's all give a warm, Magellan welcome to Kent Messmer and his partner, Rowan Aurbierre, who have purchased Mystic and Mystic Seaport in northeastern Magellan!


Kent is an avid and experienced sailor and race director in Second Life, residing in Sailor's Cove.  He has also been known to give a sailing lesson now and then, and is an experienced estate manager.   It sounds like the Magellan community will have great fun tapping into Ken's experience in organizing sailing events, regattas and cruises!  Partner Rowan notes she is a sailing beginner, but an enthusiastic sailor and crew member.  She too is an experienced estate manager, and loves to plan and organize social events.  In Second Life, Rowan plays a role in organizing Sailor's Cove's 3-day concert series for Sail For Life, a Relay for Life event that has been held for the last three years.

Kent and Rowan are busy working on their sims (see above), and are looking forward to being active members in the Magellan Sea community and to help organize InWorldz and Magellan events!

Justin Meyer has moved two sims to the southern part of Magellan.  DanCoDi is named for Justin's three children and is a work in progress.  Currently it features waterfalls, three homes, numerous boats, docks, and a lighthouse.  A store is planned for the future.  Justin's daughter Cindy Meyer is a builder and built the lighthouse as well as Justin's photostudio, located on a sky platform in a magnificent three story build.

Naporia is a lovely scenic, with docking areas and land to enjoy.  Justin is also a DJ, and often performs at FogHorn over on Scrimshaw.  We look forward to Justin's performing in some upcoming Magellan events too!  Justin's sims are not just fascinating above the waterline. He has been busy designing environments below the surface too!

Magellan has more new residents to be introduced, so watch for more postings very soon!

Peek-a-Boo with PhysX

It is almost here!  What?  PHYSX!   The discussions on the forum (http://inworldz.com/forums) are scintillating!  Yes, PhysX Phase I is already up on many sims, still being crowd tested for a grid-wide rollout!  Then, more rollouts should follow in quick succession.... especially if no major problems are found with Phase I.  It's all very exciting!

There are rumors of an improved mesh by Spring Solstice!  For insights on what THAT means, check out the InWorldz site at http://inworldz.com/techblog.  Check out Balpien's guest post on Vehicles and Physical Objects in PhysX, and some Forum discussions too.  From all we are hearing, these enhancements are very much worth the wait!

For us in Magellan, THAT means sailing is just around the corner!  WE NEED SAILORS!  There are wonderful sims available in Magellan....for sale (IM Anna Loom for available Magellan sites) AND for rent or lease!  Check the LM Board at IDI.  Visit the Magellan Welcome Center at Alinja and pop around the sims on the map.  There's a growing base of scenic sims too!  Perfect for fun boating and sailing!  Many with pleasant picnic areas and scenic overlooks! 

Future posts will explore some of the Marinas in Magellan (moor your boat!) and some of the airports for your private plane.  If you are a sailor, or a boat builder..... maybe with experience in handling sailing events and regattas, DO volunteer your expertise to Anna Loom!

Meanwhile, come, explore Magellan!  Put down some roots and get to know the area!  There are places for us Landlubbers, and wonderful environments for more fanciful denizens, both above and below the sea!

Come to MAGELLAN!
