About Babylon

What Babylonia in Second Life is

Second Life is on online world , where the content is created by the residents. The only limit is the end of your imagination... Babylonia is one of the places in second life, currently located on a mainland plot at orache: the temple of Ishtar and Inanna in Orache. Alas, the ownership of this plot is very vague, and we can not change anything on it.  Still, we cling to this place, because it seems to be where the virtual-gegraphical heart of Babylonia lies. For some time, we were hosted on an own island: Babylonia, which has now disappeared into the electrical abyss....  read more »

Welcome

Welcome to the babylon community website...
This site is for each and every Babylonian out there in Second life! I hope this website can help in keeping our community together (and expanding it!), as well as be a focal point for introducing and discussing new ideas, both for second and real life!!!
Please register, and have fun!

We are currrently going through some rough times, our nice and sunny island being vanished away, and the same probably waiting to happen to the "old" landplot in Orache... But as long as the spirit remains true, we'll manage!

Babylonia offline

Hi,

tragic news: it seems that our island is offline, I presume since yesterday evening. Since I guess nobody knows the reason (though it could have to do with no more payments coming in), I submitted a support request via the linden support thingy. If i receive any answer I'll let it know here.

Oscatel asked me if "pulling back" to orache would be the safe thing to do, but i'm not entirely sure, since I believe this land should have been payed by the same people pying the island... It could be used until (?) it disappears too though, at least it still is owned by the babylon landowners group.

 


Back but recovering

Hello babylonian friends,

I came back two weeks ago. Has been an intense time. Plenty of experiences. Learning what Ishtar has showed to me about the very real life. I am still unable to explain, I need time to comprehend and accept everything.

I am restoring a way of life and way to earn money for a life. It is a bit time consuming. I think that I need a few weeks yet to have everything ready in real life to attend virtual activities.

In the meanwhile, please enjoy every minute of your life in Babylon, in our planet, because it is a wonderfull gift that most human beings cannot enjoy.

Thanks a lot, babylonians.

Bigg mess

As many of you will have noticed by now, there is a lot of junk floating/lying/standing/buried/airborne in and around babylonia. In case you wonder, this is NOT the default look of our island :).

We are however unable to clean all this up until carmen returns from holiday..... We tried to convince some people to come over and clean up their stuff (which some did - thanks to  those people), but others run as soon as approached :(.

The chat area is particularly hit by this wave of junk, so we mostly gather on other places at the moment. Please look for green dots on the map to find out where we are  :D  read more »


Important news: Save Babylonia!

Hello,As some of you already know, as a consequence of our computer hacking or cracking, and her credit card stolen, the person who pays babylonia told me that will not use her credit cards through internet any longer, therefore, if she doesn't change her mind, we would not keep sl-babylonia.Right now, I cannt commit on further payments as I still don't know my earnings in September. And I am also scared about hackers or crackers.Oscatel has suggested to downsize temporarily elsewhere if the current island finally closes.Maybe there are other options. As a first step, we could save our buildings into our inventories.I don't know how often I could access to internet until September, but I think I could use e-mail, at least from time to time. Please, e-mail me, and don't be scared if I don't reply soon. I will love to hear from you all. Thanks.Have great holidays and see you after them !

Teleport system

A new invention is installed in babylonia: the teleport system!

It allows you to teleport to and from the most important places , or to make a tour by hopping from one(numbered) place to the next!
Look out for the numbered tiles, or click on a number on the map in the welcome & chat area!

It might still be a bit buggy here and there, and more features are to come!
If you have suggestions or find faults in it, please commenth ere or start a thread in the forum!

I tried to come up with a logo for the site, and after some fiddling around in the gimp i came up with this....

Please tell me your toughts about it (add a comment, or start a forum thread), do you like it, or not, why (not)..... etc

I also attached some bigger/higher quality versions, and there's a version at the point where you teleport in on the babylonia island!

Babylonia flooded

UPDATE:

It looks like the rollback has been completed, building should now be safe again.... or at least safer :P

It looks like the lindens have flooded babylonia :O :( (see attached pic for details)

Carmen requested a rollback of the island to restore it to the state it was in last saturday.
In the meantime, it's best not to build anything there at all, because your work might become lost!!!!
