ACS (Anshe Chung Studios) is overhauling their land policies for Dreamland, and taking a bite out of land parcels while they do it. Several Dreamland residents have contacted us in the last few hours, telling us there were large changes going on with the Dreamland covenant.

No significant terraforming, no subdivision, no joining, adjustments to tier, and a 16sqm bite taken out of the southwest corner of every block. We got a hold of Lexi Lock's FAQ for the new Dreamland Tier system - Lock's been digging through all the information and compiling it into a single guide. Check it out, after the jump.

Start packing, because SXSW begins tomorrow, Friday, March 9th in Austin! It's going to be an action-packed five days of adventure and excitement, starting off with registration from Noon-8pm CST. Ooh, fun! I was advised to not even get in line for registration until at least 3pm, as it will be packed at first. From what I hear, there will be many parties to attend and lots of free booze, as well as some informational panels for those going to learn.

A whopping eight Lindens and three ex-Lindens will be attending, with some manning booths and others speaking on panels. I just found out that Urizenus Sklar, of the Second Life Herald, will be attending. An interesting tidbit is that his badge lists him as the Corporate Evangelist for Anshe Chung Studios. We also have a late addition to the attendee list. Christian Prior, of the Electric Sheep Company, is going! Are you attending the Interactive section of SXSW? Send me a message in-world and we'll exchange phone numbers! I'll be the short girl with the tall hair. See you there!

Well, at least it's not ... well, you know what. At approximately 5AM SLT today, the 'Plush' sims of the Dreamlands continent (owned and operated by Anshe Chung Studios Ltd) were hit with a self-replicating object attack.

The object (owned by Shoop Dabu) was modeled after the February 2007 edition of Wired Magazine, and had physics enabled and a low quantity of thrust applied. They spread out, replicating through the Dreamland Plush sims shouting Web2.0 buzzwords (all in caps) to anyone within 100 metres. (eg: YOUTUBE, FLICKR, WIKI, METAVERSE, AVATAR, RUBY ON RAILS, and so forth)
