In this, we will talk about the difference in getting land from Linden Labs™ and renting from another company in SL. Before that, we need to have some clarity on concept of buying vs. renting.
What exactly means buying? Why it is different from renting?
Logically speaking, the difference between buying and renting in SL is same as real world. You can either be owner of your property or rent it. Technically speaking, if you are “buying” from Linden Labs™ you are still renting it.
Having been through enough in Star Wars RP, I have decided to test the fantasy waters in a sim that has no combat system, other than freeform combat (FFC), and a freeform appeal that I hadn't seen since Doomed Ship. In the Realm of Mystara, you are given the option of playing a character in a fantasy setting inspired by famous titles, such as Dungeons and Dragons. Spread across two sims, Stromness and Krillian, it is incredibly populated by a vast number of roleplayers of different backgrounds and styles.
As the rules state, there is a long list of races anyone can play without having to apply for extended membership. That said, some of the more popular races--of this season, at least---do require an application, such as the undead.
