As we approach the end of the year, it’s time to look back to what we have learned and improved during 2018. We also must ask: “What comes next?” 2018 was without a doubt a very busy year for Lindens Labs and Second Life. We saw many developments in-world and the overall traffic was steady but struggled for noticeable growth. Below is a recap of key accomplishments:
* Lower cost on monthly fees on land and improvements on land manager pages.
* Marketplace was improved with new features such as the “Wishlist” and “Most Recent Items Feed”. New categories were also added to the Marketplace: Animated Objects, Gachas, Anthropomorphic, and Anime.
* Animesh was introduced. Independent objects can now use rigged mesh and animations. * Environment Enhancement Project (EEP) is just starting. By 2019 (?) you will be able to create and share your own environment settings with up to 4 customizable sky layers.
* Exclusive games and experiences including the Linden Realms, Birthday Gift Grab, Winter Swaginator Hunt and the traditional Snowball Fight.
So what’s coming in 2019?
* An Estate Access Management Release Candidate Viewer with simplified estate management tasks.
* Improved auction features to sell your land.
* More creative ways to build with animesh.
* Final release of the EEP.
* “Bakes on Mesh” feature will continue to be tested.
* Migration to the cloud.
* Ability to change avatar’s names.
Women’s apparel, avatar appearance, accessories and components, home and garden items and animations are among the top marketplace categories of 2018. Games, Editor’s picks, Recently Added, Premium Gifts, Photogenic Spots and Shopping Events remain the top destinations for users in Second Life. Role-play communities are #10 in this list.

"Those
who tell the tales of Torvaldsland are known as skalds. A skald is a
combination singer, poet and bard. They are highly respected and
talented. During the fest-season of Odin, a primary holiday, a good
skald is difficult to find due to their popularity. The people must bid
for them and the bidding gets quite high. Sometimes though, a skald may
be kidnapped for the holidays. He will be released once the fest-season
is over and will be compensated with great wealth for his efforts.
Entertainment is important in Torvaldsland and takes several other forms
as well."
