OMG OMG OMG… I am really unhappy today. Wagner James Au from the blog New Worlds Notes is reporting that Second Life is loosing private islands.
To those unfamiliar with these statistics, Linden has added 1045 island in October, and dropped -367 island in November (and this is Month to date! – and we are in the middle of the month.

See Linden Page.

There is a lot on anger in the community around land pricing + the economy is taking its toll on Second Life. People and organizations do not even bother re-selling their island. They are simply dropping it. If it continues — we will probably see this item go away from the official stats pages.

This is — yet another — call for action for Linden. I hope — and pray — they will listen.
