There I was minding my own business having a quiet cup of coffee in the Y2P offices one day when Jezebel Bailey walked in with the post, tossing me a sealed envelope and clutching one herself.
"Well open it" she ordered, so I duly did, "What does it say?" she asked.
"What has happened to the penguin guy." I replied, "What does yours say?" I enquired.
"Why don't you blog about WSE anymore" said Jezebel, raising her eyebrows and pulling a funny face.
"Is WSE still going?" I asked incredulously, Jezebel shrugged her shoulders and gave me that frown that means I better make her a cup of coffee. There dear readers we would have left it, nothing to see here was our stance, although we also do wonder where the penguin guy has gone, we have a big picture of him in the office.
However the messages to Jezebel persisted, strange messages. Warnings to be wary in August and the bombshell was dropped, so was my coffee cup, Jevebel merely handed me a broom, however the message that caused such dismay was a note with an im on it:
"LukeConnell Vandeverre: Hello, the developers are almost done, only behind on a few more tasks that remain. Dates are just guides as the developers determine the completion and I don't want to rush them as that would compromise the quality of the platform."
"How do we get more information?" I asked.
"I have a plan" winked Jezebel and went off to tidy off her store before returning later with a new note:
"First it was June 30th. then July 13th and now August 10th".
"What the heck does that mean? Is this some sort of riddle?" I asked before deciding it might be time to open a can of Stella Artois. Jezebel slapped my wrists.
"Not yet" she said sternly, "I'm expecting more".
More came, another anonymous note and this time the full horror was revealed:
"WSE 4.5 is coming!!!!"
http://wselive.com/
Where it's coming to is still a mystery, is it coming to Second Life? Staying on Facebook? Haunting somewhere else? The full half truths will be revealed soon I'm sure but be afraid, be very afraid!

Re: The WSE strikes back
WSE? Is that some wrestling thing? :) The link didn't work for me (server not responding).
Re: The WSE strikes back
Actually this article prompted me to email Luke. He promptly replied saying that the holdup is due to the currency exchange platform. As previously mentioned, I wait in hope…
Re: The WSE strikes back
I may have some insight into the "handed me a broom" part.
You see....broom handles are actually 'sized' -like clothes, hats, gloves, and shoes.
ones that fit Jez's hands are VERY tough to find!!
Seriously: -she's a wonderful gal and loves to blog re: 2ndLife. But she KNEW this one was your bailiwick I presume.
All in fun. Keep up the good work.
Re: The WSE strikes back
I hope to goodness it's coming, I still have quite a few $L tied up there :)
