VORTEX v2.0 LAUNCHED

 

The Vortex v2.0 in Whippersnapper

On Thursday 22nd January, we launched The Vortex v2.0 on our unsuspecting members. Designed and built by Loki Eliot, V2 has a futuristic space-age look and feel with its satellites orbiting around its peak. The exterior walls are white, inspired by the movie Wall-E, currently in cinemas.

The interior, like a TARDIS, is much larger on the inside than it looks from the outside. It incorporates all the elements of the original building and is certainly not lacking in the friendly atmosphere The Vortex is famed for. The dance floor is fully scripted with numerous patterns and designs and FX effects to make a party really go off with a bang.

The new Vortex building uses much less prims and fewer scripts and lag is much reduced. The original building had flaws that we were unable to overcome due to a lack of permissions.

General reaction to the change has been enthusiastic and the word “AWESOME!!!” seems to sum up what most members think. There were a small number of dissenters who were not happy about the change, such as Pierre Webb who had a sandwich board with the slogan ‘kids against the new vortex’. However, Pierre beat a hasty retreat out of the doorway in flight from the growing vexation of Wlfric.

Personally, I love the new Vortex and I am very grateful to my SL brother, Loki Eliot, for building it, especially as he did so without my knowledge to cheer me up. THANKS BRO!!!
