The Princess of Yaximixche urges financial transparency from Linden Lab


The Princess of Yaximixche urges financial transparency from Linden LabUpTweet this!


Her Royal Highness The Princess of Yaximixche had an emergency meeting with Second Life residents who are worried for the effects of the price increase in Open Space Sims. Amongst the points discussed were the effects on business and charities. Also the shocked residents felt compelled to do something right away and they have organised many protests arount this virtual world to give voice to the discomfort of this unilateral decision taken by Linden Lab.



HRH Princess Manqo urges Linden Labs more transparency and the publication of their financial accounts as they describe themselves as a private company where earnings are re-invested in the improvement of Second Life. However, their recent decisions will have damaging effects that have not been considered.



Linden Lab recent action gives the impression that their profits will increase as open spaces sims will be abandoned and returned back to Linden Lab ownership allowing them to re-sell this land and making more profits. Linden Lab is not considering the effects on many young and fragile organisations that have fluorished in Second Life and the distress their decision is causing.

During the meeting with The Princess, a temporal shut down of Second Life has been proposed by the group of worried residents for the 1st of December from 00:00 hrs until 23:59 hrs SLT and a massive sell of Linden Dollars. Second Life residents that feel the need to maintain their social interactions during the Second Life shut down have been suggested to visit the Gukumatz Palace in Lively Google as meeting point.

Her Royal Highness encouraged all parties, SL residents and Linden Lab, for more communication, understanding and proposing constructive solutions with transparency. With the non-stopable growth of Second Life, new forms of governance have to be created as well, in order to include the resident-users perspective in future decisions from Linden Lab.

Gukumatz Palace is open 24x7 and can be accessed from The Princess of Yaximixche website.
