No Party Today


Thursday evening when I logged in I get a notice from Beach Front Riperoffers that they are going out of business effective immediately and not to pay them anymore rent (which sounds ominous) but say we have til the end of the month to find a new sim. Well also when I logged in I got  the little thing that redirected me to a some other region say they can't put me on the sim cause it's like GONE!!

On Friday morning I did a Google search and found this forum thread which goes to great length discussing the subject: http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/general-sl-discussion/90214-beach-front-realty-closed-lost.html
With the the region still offline I followed the directions of contacting LL to get the sim put back online so we could retrieve our property.
This was LL's reply:
Hello MissEmily23 Resident,

It appears that Wolfes Pond Beach has been taken offline intentionally, and at this time, there are no indications of plans to reactivate it. Unfortunately we cannot give out any information as to the reasons for the region being taken down; you should contact the region owner for details, and to verify if the region will be closed temporarily or permanently.  The region has been reactivated until tomorrow to allow you to reclaim your objects.


We have retrieved our objects and are now looking at potential parcels of land to rent that both fit our needs and have a reliable land owner. Therefor we regrettably will cancel the weekly * SL PORN * party. It really ticks me off because we spent time decorating for Christmas and giving the club a different holiday look. Went we find the proper parcel to rent we will and restore the club for the winter season and by February have the beach below in order.

Now about Beach Front Ripperoffers; as some of you may remember 1st of September we moved to Wolfes Pond Beach so that BFR  could consolidate lesser used regions and return some to LL to save cost. The 1st of December I paid my monthly tier for that sim, I have to believe they knew at that time the events that were about to unfold. Not only that I believe they took my teir payment and everyone elses, pocketed it and just waited for LL to pull the plug on all the regions leaving ALL their renters with sims that were offline.

At that point they sent out this notice, hopping they could quickly get away before everyone realize they did not have to the end of the month and that EVERYTHING was now offline:
Dear Beach Front Residents:
The company of Beach Front Realty will regrettably be closing its doors effective immediately.
Tiers will not be excepted on behalf of the owners at BF. All tenants will have a until the end of December to relocate to a different company.

For your convenience, we have located a reputable company that are willing to take our residents with a warm welcome. This company has been in
business since 2007 and we assure you that you will be pleased with the new owners of the Estates.

The Estate name is called: Tribe Estates
The owners are as follows:
Alexxa Despres
Driftwood Miles
Please contact them as they are aware of the transition.

On behalf of Kandee and Breeze we want to take this chance to thank each and every one for the loyalty you have provided throughout the years. And would like
To wish you all a Happy Holiday Season. 


I see this as a complete con, case of fraud and a criminal act!! Thankfully I am only out about 5,000L of lost tier and have to rebuilt, I'm sure many lost more than I did.

We will return, and hopefully with better landlords.
Thanks,
Emily

  1. I do not think it was Linden Labs that put all the regions offline that Beach Front Realty had, it was Beach Front Realty that intentionally put all regions offline just like they did with their website.

    Their RL Identities are being mentioned in the following CNN Money broadcast: http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2010/03/17/n_real_estates_second_life.cnnmoney/

    There should be a new coverage, Beach Front Reality exposed as criminals stealing SecondLife Residents' money!!!
