Arallyn is hosted on Secondlife and we own the sims directly. The sims run on a cloud server for each sim. Members and supporters are the heart of the sims and help the burden of the high costs. We have launched a donation page in November 2022 to help with the high costs.

We are non-profit, so all donations go to the sims creation, operations, and development costs. Below are some of the costs and the funds we have put into the land.

 

SIM COST MONTHLY:

Sim Purchases and monthly fees. (Are in USD). Billed to us by Linden Labs.

Arallyn: $259.00 + Tax of $16.19  (Total $275.19 Billed on the 6th of each month)

Arallyn 2: $259.00 + Tax of $16.19  (Total $275.19 Billed on the 24th of each month)

Monthly Sim cost Total: $550.38

 

 

OTHER COSTS:

Other initial and maintained costs vary and include:

System Coding Team initial creation cost: $850.00 (contract)

Website and database dedicated for Arallyn.com and Aralife System($22.81/month)

Advertising Grid wide: (50.00-125.00/month)

 

Donations on the sim to the donation box in Linden help with purchasing items to improve the sim, provide gifts at events, and other direct Secondlife aspects. However they do not cover Sim costs monthly. We do not rent from others, meaning we are not dependent on their ability to keep their sim rentals up. Many rental sims are closing as owners cut back on them with more over 1200 expected to no longer rent via Linden payments by mid 2023. Many larger groups will require payment by paypal directly on a monthly subscription. The average rental cost for a 20k sim is expected to be around 360.00 USD and 30k sims 400.00 USD.

We own our sims directly and pay in USD directly to Linden Labs. Hopefully some day the monthly cost will drop. 

By donating to us directly, no money is lost. Cashing out Linden means over half of it is lost in value. With other fees even more. If you donate 5000 Linden which costs you around 22.00 or more to buy. It would only be worth 10.98 if we cashed it out to help cover sim payments. Donating directly insures your donation is fully valued (minus paypals little fee).
