\"Phaze_011\"<\/a>One thing you quickly learn about Second Life, is that nothing is forever. Our favorite stores, designers or builders come and go, leaving behind heartbroken residents. Running a business in Second Life is expensive and time consuming, not to mention the hassles and grief you get from disgruntled, drama-prone customers. Creating can be rewarding and fulfilling, but not always easy. <\/p>\n

One such business that is moving away from Second Life is Phaze Demesnes<\/a>, a unique collection of creations that include amazing flocks of low-lag birds, the owl that hunts rabbits; untold numbers of dragons, horses, and unicorns; the unusual avatars like goats, elephants, and a tiny dragon; and all the geeky toys like the Einstein Eye that watches avatars; not to mention the masterwork, the Universal Translator that works in SL in any language, and so forth.<\/p>\n

\"Phaze_001\"<\/a>A sad story with a silver lining during the Second Life holidays this year: even though the Phaze Demesnes sim<\/a> is closing down at the end of the year, its creators, Fred Beckhusen (Ferd Frederix) and Debbie Edwards (Wavingirlsav Voom) are giving away all their creations free at Phaze inworld<\/a> in Second Life through the end of the year. (The orange words are a clickable link to the inworld location.)<\/p>\n

Phaze has been in Second Life for 5 years and was featured in the Destination Guide with this description: Phaze is a magic land of water, dragons, fairies, demons, unicorns and robots. Follow the paths that lead to dozens of quiet, romantic spots in a colorful and relaxing landscape. Find the dragons to ride and the demons to fight in the arena. Chat with the animated talking trees, statues and paintings.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Phaze is not disappearing completely. Ferd and Wavy are taking their generosity, humor, and creativity into their own grid Outworldz, an opensim, at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

\"Phaze_010\"<\/a>You can contact Fred and Debbie through their website <\/a>for directions how to get there. You can also keep up on Phase Demesnes\u2019 future on its Google Plus<\/a> page. as well as @Ferd_Frederix on Twitter, Fred Beckhusen on Facebook, and Fred Beckhusen on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Hurry, before the end of the year! You only have a few days left before Phaze is . . . well . . . Phazed out. <\/p>\n

I remain respectfully yours,
