apropos closing...do you know why my favourite designer Grandma! (Hanae Nishi) dissapeared from SL...still sad she is gone

yw

hello Sevenstar. Recently so many Japanese stores closed because of the raise of Japanese land tier and

Many famous shopping district disappeared. Grandma ever had their store at Broadmead but it disappeared...

Japanese stores supply stuff with low price therefore some stores can't afford the land tier..

thats a big loss! I am shocked. They should raise prizes, thats totally okay. What about UntoneQuilt, I cannt find her either

do you know who left SL from those brilliant creators?

Another reason is that the most famous Japanese blog community will start to cost store owners.

No commercial blogs can make free acount at there and all store owners must pay 1600L$ per month to have their store blog there.

The cost is not fixed yet but some Japanese stores gave up their stores.

Most Japanese creators want to communicate only with Japanese. I'm so sorry about that.

Algernon, op and many many..

strange thing about communicating only with japanese. why that? I noticed that btw...

Hi Emi, which blog community will now cost money?

I am sad because SL looses many big talents this way

suddely feels the urge to go and buy everything japanese designers made...as long as they are there

there's gotta be a way to have them blog for free

it shouldnt cost to blog things, unless I am missing info?

Language issue is serious for Japanese ppl.

Yes, thank you Trace. As she said, most Japanese ppl have their blog at slmame. The website itself was created by

Japanese developer of virtual world. They own famous SIMs like, Koenji, Shimokita.

They wanted to gain Japanese resigents. The project was successful. Japanese ppl can play sl, chatting with only Japanese ppl.

But the other hand, they have been apart from other countries' ppl.

In Japan, there are not only blog community but also a SNS where Japanese residents gather.

well, anyway. if slmame ich charging money now SL will loos many design talents. On the other hand it was and is incredibly slow to load...

it too ages and many give up before it loaded. So why not thinking about alternative communities, slname was to "heavy", it can be improved

About languges...lol, I imagine myself insisting on talking only german...I cannot imagine that. I would not ha ve met so many great people.

I would stick only to the german community and not see so many interessting places. I am glad there are open japanese like you

I love the Japanese community in Sl and it would be sad to lose them, there has to be some sort of free alternative that they can

move to for blogging.
