Second Life: Win a Lifetime Account

A lifetime account is a great opportunity – anyone who’ve ever played Second Life probably can tell that it is. Alas, such accounts (that cost $225 at the time, but gave you access to a permanent 500L$/week stipend as well as to a land allocation of 4096 sqm) were only available during the initial launch, and never returned since then.

In the news this week, however, is the announcement on Second Life forums that on July 31st, there’ll be a chance to win a coveted Lifetime Account. How? Here’s what Jeska Linden writes about it:

Finally you have a chance to win a coveted LIFETIME (Charter Member) Second Life Account! All you have to do is login between the hours of 7pm and 9pm PST on Sunday, July 31st. Any Resident 18 years of age or older who was logged in for at least 30 minutes during this time will be entered to win a drawing for a FREE Lifetime Account. In addition, these residents will also be entered to win one of 25 special limited edition Second Life necklaces. Just for participating, all residents (including the teens) will receive an in-world Second Life Benshee, a personalized in-world primitive pet that interacts with other Benshees it meets.

All details and rules can be found in the July 31st - Log-A-Thon 5000 Sweepstakes: Win a Lifetime Account post on the official forums.

Now, if only this wasn’t happening at a hour when it’s… uhm… either very very late at night or too early in the morning for me…
