One of SL’s most wonderful historical sims Pfaffenthal 1867 has announced it is closing its doors as it is about to move to Sansar.
Pfaffenthal 1867 is a wonderful reconstruction of the historical quarter of central Luxembourg City.
It is a great city to explore, it has been very popular with SL photographers and video makers.
Members in the group received this note;
Dear citizens,
The moment has finally arrived, for the 1867 project to move on to SANSAR, were land is free, where we can have better graphics,VR headsets and real physical interactivity. Note that sansar works very well on a normal PC,for desktop mode you do NOT need a gamer PC.
IMPORTANT!
All the 1867 sims in second life will be shut down next monday, on the 26th of november. Please pack all your stuff by then.We will have a good bye party, saturday the 24th of november at 10 am at café neuen.
Please join us in SANSAR and be among the first to get a new house there! we have 4×4 km !cheers to all of you!

As a history addict I’m sad to see one of the few historically accurate sim in SL vanish.
Personally I’m not sure Sansar is ready for a historical roleplaying community.
Are there enough Victorian clothes, is there a rental system yet, could you buy enough period furniture to decorate the homes, can you even open doors in Sansar?
I don’t know, things are going fast there and I haven’t been in a while.
I’m not sure how it will work out but it does give me a reason to visit Sansar again so I will find out soon enough if the Sansar Pfaffenthal is as good, interactive and alive as the Second Life one.
Mind you, having visited a few small experiences in Sansar, I dread the loading time for something as big and detailed as Pfaffenthal.
I hope it all works out for the sim and its community.
If you want to take another look around the SL Pfaffenthal, do so while you can!

And remember Virtual Victorians, if you need a new home in Second Life, you can always come to Victorian London in the Time Portal sim! (click for slurl)

Wow, that is a surprise! But I know they’ve been working on the Sansar experience for a little while now. Obviously, they think they are ready to make the switch. However, there’s still very little period clothing in the Sansar Store. But yes, doors do work 🙂

Can you set the doors to only open for some people?

Yes, probably. Scripting has come a long way in a very short time. But I am not a scripting expert so I can’t say for certain.

Reblogged this on quiplash and commented:
Jo Yardley reports on her blog that the Pfaffenthal 1867 sims in Second Life, a virtual reconstruction of the historical quarter of central Luxembourg City, are moving over to Sansar. This might be the first (but probably not the last) such wholesale move of virtual lands from SL to Sansar.

Sansar unfortunately still lies behind, the total traffic in their world and 11 daily avatars, unfortunately you can not do what you do in Second Life, maybe in ten years.

I wish they would keep their place in SL too, so people in SL can still enjoy it. I’m not a big fan of Sansar. Those super long loading times (20 minutes and more) are just ridiculous. I think it’s too early yet for popular places to completely move over to Sansar.

On Sansar you can’t build inworld anymore in Sansar. Only VR Goggles i heard can use it to build it but not for NON- VR googles can’t. You can make offworld to create objects.
