My Flesh May Die and Rott, But My Sims Will Not!
Ok I know this sounds a little strange, or maybe a bit morbid, But I guess I am a bit strange and morbid. Lately I have been thinking a lot about what would happen to my second life if I were to die in real life. SL has become a huge part of my life and I have built a lot in this game. Although my land and items are virtual and "don't really exist", there is a lot of money tied into them and yes a lot of sentimental attachment to some of my plots and items. So with this being on my mind I ask my real life Husband, "How would you take care of my sl if I were to die", and his response, "I don't know", and "I suppose it would all just go away because I have no idea how to do any of that stuff". Well that did not ease my worries, or stop my thoughts on the subject so I spent several days after that trying pound certain things into his head, Like Bella gets this plot, Raymond gets that plot, I want all these items to go to so and so on, He tells me, "Look I won't remember all of this." "Fill out a note card with everything that needs done and how I go about getting it done."
Yea I was bugging him a lot and I was freaking him out a bit with the death talk, but with all that nagging, My Second Life Will is born. I have not completed mine yet, But I am working on it. Ok at this point You may be thinking I'm a bit nuts for considering an idea of a virtual will, But think about it. When You have 2 years of money and memory's tied up into something that's a daily part of Your life and who You are, do You really want it to poof along with your life and be of no use to anyone else ever again?

I wonder how that would
I wonder how that would work. I know people who have got divorced and had a right game getting services switched over because they are not in their name but in the name of their ex. There's a new legal firm in SL, Nobody Fugazi blogged about them, might be worth sounding them out.
Ciaran.
Good point.
You could just carve everything into 16m plots... but yeah, it is worth thinking about.
There was a service not too long ago where blog owners could do something if they died... like, if they did not post in a certain amount of time, the software would display a message, et al.
If you think that is bad, consider this - I planned my own funeral service already. :-)
Looking into this somewhat
I was looking into doing estates work for residents who died and left property behind. I'm still waiting to hear back from the Linden legal department about this.
well...
since it is really 3d web hosting, it could be messy. And the Bragg case has them up in arms about it, I'm sure... wouldn't expect anything back from them soon.
