Linden Lab has announced it has stopped providing assistance with the purchase of virtual land to new
Second Life users. If earlier every newly appeared resident could purchase a square meter of land for one local “dollar”, now, as they say, the freebie is over.
Jack Linden, founder of Second Life, himself commented on this event. According to him, too many people bought the land in order to subsequently resell it, thus undermining the land and real estate market, reports
