i have bought a small plot in Da Boom.
Da Boom is the original sim of Second Life. by this is meant, that the grid of continents, open water, and private islands that make up Second Life as we know it, started with the very first sim - Da Boom - on 21 November 2002.
it's mind-blowing to think that Second Life in general, and Da Boom in particular, is four-and-a-half years' old. it literally is very nearly pre-historic, on the Second Life timescale. over the years, many of the original residents of Da Boom have moved on and out. yet there are still parts of the sim where you can immerse yourself deeply in the original culture of Second Life, not least at the Starax Memorial maintained by Rockwell Ginsberg.
for further reading about the historical nexus of Second Life - including how it got its peculiar name - you could do worse than to start here :-)
as for the plot in Da Boom which is now under my stewardship, i could not think of a better name than da Capo. it lies somewhere in the foothills of the Frelon volcano.
da Capo is actually my third plot on the continent of Sansara - Sansara may be the oldest landmass on the grid, but i would concur with what is often said about it still being the best.
as we prepare to usher in 2008, i cannot think of a more appropriate sim to do so in, than Da Boom.

the continent of Sansara, with Heterocera to the north
these are some of the oldest sims
