Elvis is alive

As some of you have painfully noticed, ever since last week the Sim that Necronom VI is located on is set to adult. Personally I strongly feel it would be worth to argue that it is just a mature area, because I do not feel that Necronom VI is a project that primarily focuses on adult aspects, but due to a technicality there is no other choice.
Now what does this mean for players? As player, if you want to get in, you have to do one of two things, either link a credit card of your choice to your profile, or get age verified.
Basically this whole issue is a huge pain for us, because from now Necronom VI will be blocked from the Second Life search for anyone who doesn't have adult content enabled. A lot of people don't know about this yet, so what is missing is those people who find Necronom just randomly. In most cases, from what I've seen, bypassers really like what they find here, so I consider this a huge disservice to both me and the Second Life players. It vastly decreases the amount of players and shopcustomers that find the place, which on the longterm poses a huge threat to the whole project.
But all the trouble is worth it, right? It makes sure only adults get access to this content and SL becomes a safer place right?
Well, let me tell you about the sad truth. One thing Linden Labs promises is that all the data they receive for age verifications is stored neither with them nor with their data processing partner. Think about what this means for a second, it means that they are not able to crosscheck new data they receive, in fact, every single Second Life resident is able to verify with the exact same information, without any consequences whatsoever.
Kind people have already provided a list of various identities, whose real owners really won't mind anymore.
Let me make this clear for you, Linden Labs has spent enormous amounts of resources and money to develop these adult features for over a year and the result is a system that is fooled with one single copy/paste by a toddler. I would wonder when they'd start asking why Elvis Presley has so many Second Life accounts, but like I explained, they have no legal possibility to even find out.
Well played, Linden Labs, well played.

Roleplaying guide

Yesterday I have released a guide that sums up a basic behaviour codex for roleplaying on the station. It contains a set of rules on what to do to NOT step on other peoples toes and thats its whole purpose. People have shown to increasingly ignore others space and I think it was more then necessary to release a guideline on what's okay and when.
It is meant to be the general standard, so when someone does not follow it you have this guide to point at and tell them they are breaking the norm.
It is not meant to be instructions on what stories to RP, how to make your character, etc, because I still firmly believe that it's important to leave the door open for imagination and creativity, it is only a guide on how to respect other people and merely common sense, of which I have noticed a dramatic lack in recent days.
To read the guie, check out this thread I've prepared.

Entry area

Since the entry of Necronom VI has been rather confusing for a while I decided to create a new improved one. Products should be found much more easily now and passing to the RP area is as easy as ever. Also I can finally collect all important things at one point, which is especially important for some of the bigger upcoming additions.
For roleplaying just jump into the hole below the entry and youll get to familiar grounds.
