A New Chapter for Mainland: Gaeta 1 Transition and Zindra Expansion

In the coming months, a gradual transition from the main continent will begin Gaeta 1. During this same period, approximately 90 new regions will also be activated as part of an expansion of the main adult continent of Zindra.

It is known that many users built homes, businesses and communities in Gaeta 1. It is understood that the plot is not just a plot of land on a map. It's a place that's been chosen and shaped. The focus during this process is to ensure that there is time, options and support for each one to move to a place that will be as pleasant as if not more.

♪ Why is this happening ♪

The main adult continent continues to operate with a very high occupation and presents a consistent demand. At the same time, some areas of the general and moderate continent, including Gaeta 1, have presented a lower overall use over time.

Instead of expanding the total size of the continent, the existing capacity is being adjusted to reflect better where Residents are most active today.

This change applies only to the disconnected continent called Gaeta 1. It is not part of a wider closure of the continent, and there are no changes in content policy related to this announcement.

** What's changing**

Gaeta 1 will begin the transition to offline in phases from April, with completion expected until the end of 2026.

At the same time, new regions will be added to Zindra. These regions will include scenic seaside areas, extensive road networks, coastal water passages and additional development that will help complete and improve the Zindra continent.

Implementation will take place gradually. No region will be closed without notice and direct communication with affected landowners.

**What Gaeta 1 landowners can expect**

From the beginning of April, a personalized contact will be initiated. Each active landowner will receive direct communication from a Linden representative detailing relocation options and next steps.

Landowners will receive a size-per-size replacement offer. It will work to find a comparable portion that meets each other's needs and preferences.

Moving to Zindra is not mandatory. It's simply one of the options available. If the main adult continent is a good option, priority access will be given to the new regions created. If not, appropriate alternatives will be identified in other areas of the continent that correspond to the preference for maturity.

This is not a hasty process. The transition will take place over many months, and conversations will take place before any region is deactivated. There will be time to plan, ask questions and explore options.

The objective is to approach this carefully and respectfully, with clear communication at each stage.

♪ Looking to the future ♪

Second Life continues to grow and change, and the continent remains an important part of this experience. The commitment during this transition is simple
