Sim Crossings- Second Life

So in my past posts we have talked about sims ,lets talk about crossing from one sim to another, in this piece ill give some examples based on land I own on the mainland so its easy for me to understand.


One on my parcels is  in  Morgause: now although I can see: Excalibur, Samselarn,and Viroconium..


They are in fact not on the same server as Morgause, as Novatron,Frodes,Muinstown,Seefeld,Phantasm and Leonards Field are, but this is subject to change.


So If I was to walk from Morgause to Excalibur, I have to leave the server I am on and travel to another, even if they look like they are next to each other on the map, in fact they are miles apart, so hopefully that will explain why your avatar disappears from view for a moment when you move from one sim to another.

LL have been working on making things easier when moving across sim borders but as you may understand its not a simple process.

Think of it like movement from one webpage to another on the web, for a moment you get a blank page and moving from one sim to another is a bit like that on the grid.

So.. placing bridges that cross sims is going to be problematic. best advice is dont do it.. crossing sims is always going to be funky unless they link all regions across the same edges at all times..
