Building a different business model

As part of the effort to create a cohesive, cooperative community like no other, Nederpoort officials are conducting training/listening sessions for SL businesses that locate here. In Tuesday night's session, Virtual Adventures owner Javabox Kawanishi sat down with
69 Park Ave CEOs Silexe Core and Qwirky Snoodle, their director Sparkles Parisi, manager LadyJ Celestalis and designers Dani Plassitz of D-Designs and Zuri Rayna of Jewelry by Zuri -- all experienced businesspeople in Second Life -- to talk about strategy and the new business model being developed.


The topic of the day: Social skills and the power of personal contact to engage residents and offer a richer experience for merchants and residents alike.

Javabox has set one principle from the start: Nederpoort/New York Island won't rely on bots and spam to draw traffic. Instead, the effort is to offer a unique, personalized experience that makes SL more rewarding for everyone.

If you're a merchant here, or considering a move to Nederpoort, contact Javabox or post below to join a training session. It's a great opportunity to network, talk over ideas with other forward-thinking business owners and learn about the vision behind Nederpoort.

Do you have ideas for creating a more cohesive, thriving business environment in Nederpoort and New York Island? Share your ideas with us!

Maria's view on recreational needs and hangout spots in Second Life.


“Exclusive: MariadelCarmen Bekkers on the Marguerita Lounge, Zo Restaurant and why recreational facilities are essential for a Virtual City on Second Life.”

As a virtual city we distinguish ourselves from most other commercial businesses on Second Life. We go beyond shops, midnight mania, lucky chairs and all other so called “people attractors”. Why? Because wherever you go inworld you will encounter these. At Virtual Adventures we aim to be innovative, so we don’t fallow these hypes. Instead we create attractive places where people can come and use it freely as much as they like. People that come to Nederpoort city are not forced into shopping or spending money. Hanging out, socializing enjoying the environment that’s what we want.

At this stage we serve about 40 residents with a free apartment, our residents are all allowed to use Zo restaurant and the Marguerita Lounge for their own party’s or just to hang out with friends when their apartment tends to become a little filled up.

Both facilities are located on Nederpoort’s main Avenue, easy accessible for anyone that wants to stop by. Both interiors where custom designed for Nederpoort City, using textures and furniture of the highest quality available in Second Life. Colors where deliberately chosen to create a neutral ambiance to everybody’s likes.

Future: with the addition of our newest sim we aim to create one or several new recreational places, do you have a suggestion? Let me know! I’ll do my best to realize your idea! Also we tend to make the places more interactive, with actual people being there to serve you. More on this soon!

Thank you for reading!
Kind regards, MariadelCarmen Bekkers

Free Appartments in Nederpoort Virtual City

Yesterday 05-09-2010 we where able to give away 5 new appartments in Nederpoort City.
This initiative was taken to stimulate our Virtual Adventures group members playing a role in the Nederpoort community.

Saraman Blackheart was first to respond to the notice. Within a few seconds she was the proud owner of a luxurious appartment with a great view over Nederpoort City.
This is what she had to say:

I was so lucky to get the opportunity to live in one of the chic appartments at Nederpoort City, i had lots of fun decorating it to my own taste. I plan to invite all my friends over to chill and have lots of fun. The best part.... all the best stores are just around the corner.
