Last time I was on a sim with this name, it was announced as an all-round freebie sim, and I found myself in a huge building with nothing but sci-fi props.

Now it's advertised as a freebie sim with avatar accessories. What I saw instead was a landscape with mostly water and not a single building in sight. I landed on a small grassy island which covered the standard landing point 127,127,x. The only way to reach the other visible parts of the sim was by flying or, theoretically, rezzing my own boat because everyone can rez stuff here. There isn't an officially supported way to leave the island, no teleporter, no boat rezzer, nothing.

There's a teleport board on the land near the edge of the sim, but the teleporters are for the other connected sims and not for other places on this sim. Again, you have to fly to get to that teleport board.

The promised freebie stores are nowhere to be seen. However, there seem to be a couple of NPCs on a sky platform some 500 metres above the ground. Their names indicate that there may be something store-like up there. But there's no way to get there from the ground where you land. If you're supposed to land down there on the ground, there should at least be a teleporter that takes you to the freebie stores. But I haven't seen one.

In the end, it's the completely non-functional navigation within the sim that makes it fail to deliver what it promises. It may have freebie stores, but if only the sim owner can get there by any means other than manually hacking your own coordinates, it's completely useless as a freebie sim. You can't teleport to the sky platform with the stores. You can't even get from the small island in the middle where you land to the teleporters that'd take you to other sims except by flying.

Good advice for the sim owner: "Works for me" doesn't mean the problem exists between keyboard and chair for everyone else if it doesn't work for anyone else. If everyone but you lands somewhere where they aren't supposed to land, it isn't their fault because it's beyond their control. This is something you and only you can fix.

One star for the landscape, though, and for having land under 127,127,x so that I didn't end up in the water. This isn't a (sub)tropical sim, so I guess the water is cold.

Nico Kalani	No transport system? ght 500m perhaps. Those NPCs must be lonely! Also -- everyone can rez stuff here? Expect a visit from Priscilla Snot-Rag soon. The place won't be empty then! 2 years ago - mark as helpful (2) - report
