Thanks to the new VAT bombshell, one of SL’s most beautiful and influential sims is in danger of disappearing. Lauk’s Nest, created by Laukosargas Svarog, was later sold to Lukas Mensing when Svarog decided to pursue other projects. Lukas has been maintaining it ever since. However, Lukas’s VAT on Lauk’s Nest is 25%, which is rather steep. So now Lauk’s Nest is once again available for sale. It could be saved by someone from a non-VAT-enabled country purchasing it, or we could try a different approach.

WIth the exception of the sim that Linden Village is on, does LL own and maintain any other areas? I’d love to see LL take over Lauk’s Nest and host it for the enjoyment of all. Think about it: it’s famous, it’s an amazing build, it’s great for PR purposes. You could call it SL’s Yosemite National Park. LL could use it in all their promotional materials as a shining example of the possibilities of SL. When the mainstream press is still so hung up on all the sensational aspects of SL, a showing like this would help to offset that perception. What do you think? Any other ideas?

(Thanks, Morris!)
