So what is Lindo? Lindo Virtual Flowers? Huh? You
mean you haven't heard of this new rage overtaking Second Life? Well you are missing out! To put it simply, this is a new game designed
to increase traffic and earn L$ very easily.
The HUD is very simple
and is flawless in its design and function.
You just add it, and click the watering can to water your virtual
flower. You’re able to water flowers in
areas wherever the sun shines on the HUD.
If the sun is not shining, you just click the "Get Random
Location" link on the HUD to teleport to a different place that has the
sun shining, so you can water your flower.
You will earn L$ as it
grows and reaches full maturity. To
start growing another seed you verify a simple mathematical equation. The HUD comes with a few free seeds, but
eventually you’ll need to buy some more or pass a copy of the HUD to your
friends to earn free seeds.
Funds are delivered
straight from your HUD, there's no need to visit an ATM. This is a reliable game you can feel secure playing,
and it is Alt and hack proof! Store
owners set up a terminal and seed dispenser wherever they want to increase
traffic. They can set it to SIM or
Parcel and add pretty much any amount of L$ they would like to, into it.
It was my husband
JonCernunnos Resident, who first noticed Lindo.
We were at our home in Bonita Beach, and he noticed one of the neighbors
had something very colorful set up. Upon
further inspection he realized it was
the headquarters of this new Lindo game.
Being an avid fishing player, I tried to get him into my game, I really
did, but Jon seemed to have taken more of a liking to Lindo. In fact, we even have a bet going that he's
going to make more L$ at Lindo in 3 months than I ever have in my couple of years
at fishing. It looks like Jon has a
pretty sporting chance of winning the bet!
"...There doesn't
seem to be any nickel and diming farming scheme to this," he adds, having
been extremely disappointed in buying a useless worm farm after completing a
quest.
Lindo also has a great
team of support agents who always seem to show up at events to greet the
patrons and help support the shop owners' advertising and questions. They are able to converse in many
languages.
Lindo was created by a
Turkish gentleman, Sofistik (poltergeist.azarov), about a year and some months ago. He says he it took about four months to
release beta tests and about two months of a stable version, and that people
knew about it in the 4-5 month range. He
says it all started when he was trying to write some scripts for a girl and her
roof-opening building.
A friend of his saw the
roof prototype and told him it looked like a flower, which brought the totally
unique Lindo project of increasing traffic, to life. About 400 unique players join weekly.
Sofistik noticed about
two months ago, Russian, Turkish, German, and Italian residents started playing. Lindo is promoted by word of mouth. Passing a copy of your HUD earns you free
seeds. Terminal owners can also set
multipliers to increase traffic on their land.
When this happens, the Lindo group notifies the players right away.
In case you missed it, the location part of
their website displays who has a multiplier going at any given time.
Sofistik is always
improving his products. He deems himself
"obsessive about the design to make things as perfect as they can
be," and rightly so. Upcoming there
will be boosters you can buy to gain double the XP in growing your
flowers. This will also allow players to
increase their chances of winning weekly bonuses.
Additionally there is a kick-back to terminal
owners as well. "For example, XP
booster seeds will be around L$4 which terminal owners will get half of it." He added, "Next improvements are all
about terminal owners actually... because we want to keep its balance for both
sides. We will try to reduce land owner bills as much as possible in next few
updates. And who knows, we might also
help them make profit from Lindo.
What I really want is such a market for everyone in fact." Very exciting news, indeed!
