What will the next year bring in Second Life?
By Eric Reuters
Reuters went to the Leather & Lace Masquerade Ball at the Second Life Community Convention to ask: What will the next year bring in Second Life?
Jeska Linden. Linden Lab community and product wrangling.
“We’ll continue to be amazed by the creativity of the Second Life residents and hopefully we’ll be able to open source the servers.”
Prokofy Neva.
“A better search that will actually harm the economy because it will remove ‘traffic’ from search results. But ultimately it will attract a lot more people to find stuff and there will be more shopping. We can be sure of that.”
Jeroen Frans. Metaverse developer.
“Second Life will only grow much larger.”
Stroker Serpentine. Host of the Ball, adult products mogul, currently involved in a copyright infringement lawsuit.
“Better sex.”
Moo Money. SLCC Machinima track coordinator.
“I look forward to all the new residents breathing life into the main grid.”
Joshua Nightshade.
“Robots will become the next fetish for Second Life.”
Forsythe Whitfield.
“More live music, and more completely immersive environments.”

“A more fashionable Second Life. That’s what I’m pulling for and I’m here to clean up the streets.”
Jennyfur Peregrine. SLCC co-host.
“I’m really hoping for grid stability.”
Otakup0pe Neumann. libsecondlife.org.
“Something awesome and open source.”
Durango Ringo.
“More furries.”
Gigs Taggert. “Best bug hunter.”
“The expansion of the open source program with various third party modifications will provide a better experience.”
Regina Lynn. Wired.com columnist.
“Lots and lots of sex.”
Izzy Linden. Linden Lab concierge.
“Increased satisfaction among the membership.”
Sphere Gasser.
“We’re going up to twenty million. See you there!”
Jazz Asylum had the band at the Leather & Lace Masquerade Ball stop the music to get down on one knee before Chelle Moore, who he met in Second Life last October.
She said yes, and all of SLCC cheered.
Congrats to the newly engaged couple.
