TOTAL: 5 isn't good enough, I'm giving a 6. Yes, a gratuitous 6. It deserves every point!
This
sim is named appropriately. It is an escape on every level, and
mind-bogglingly awesome! Stunning doesn't cover it, Extasia has it all
and then some, from up-to-date animations to wooded glens to a magical
floating locations with drifting stars for rain. It is a huge sim and
not easily explored, every corner has a rug or a chair or a dance ball
cleverly tucked away. The design here is exceptional, every detail is
planned and precise.
The landing point Mansion and Club Clandestine, below it.
The Roman bath.
During
my last trip I visited the underground mine maze and stumbled into
their concert venue with two truly exceptional SL vocalists! Since I do
love the land music stream it's notable that I turned this off and
stayed for the shows (Chillee Hernandoz and Johnny Paramour). Bravo,
club booking agent!
The Gold Mine venue, fun and casual.
As
if this isn't enough, there are also Pandora Caves and underwater
venues - my personal favorite. Everything is just the best SL has to
offer and updated frequently.
The enchanting Pandora Caves and underwater venue!
In
fact, there are panoramic views almost everywhere you look here. In
line with that, there are discrete teleports placed throughout the sim.
On my next trip I discovered Winterland, and noticed on the TP menu that
there is an Oasis and Video location that I have yet to explore!
Just one of the many panoramic views!
Winterland - with the northern lights, and another shot showing the meticulous attention to detail.
The
teleports are also one of my least favorite aspects. Though I do
approve of the elegant design, they are hard to see and combined with
the size and varied nature of this sim it is very hard to get your
bearings. I created am "Extasia"folder in my landmark folder and just
filled it with LMs . Also, this shockingly lag-free sim is not crowded
enough, and frequently the visitors are already paired up!
While
writing this piece, I was TP'd here by different people for various
reasons and had a great time every time. Nice? More than! And again,
it's a free sim but the noob factor is negligible. Like Maran's
Landing the girls are good, the men are mid-noob to hot!
I can't say enough about Extasia. Pack a lunch and explore every nook and cranny. If you bring a date, pack condoms!
Tip:
1. Landmark frequently.
2. TIP to keep these venues alive!
3. Seriously, drop what you're doing and go right now.
