Since The Arcade opened its doors in 2012, we have sought to bring more features and fun to the event, such as our Gacha Galley “cam shopping” region, our Arcade Gacha trade group, the holiday “Season of Giving” event, our “Golden Ticket” preview program, and even the addition of a complete mirror of The Arcade region to ease your shopping experience.

We are continuing to innovate, with the launch of additional new gacha features coming soon to The Arcade. In order to do so, we’re starting a first of its kind program in virtual space: we want you, our loyal fans, to be a friend of The Arcade.

What does this mean?

In much the same way places like Disneyland or Wardenclyffe (the Tesla Science Center) have allowed their patrons to have their names permanently presented on site, we are offering the opportunity for you to have your name listed at The Arcade’s landing point as a friend to the event.

Beginning at our June 2016 round, a beautiful, specially commissioned fountain installation, created by Cory Edo of Trompe L’oeil, has been added to the landing area at the end of The Arcade’s pier. On it will be all the names of those who have chosen to become a Friend of The Arcade. This is a permanent, new feature of The Arcade region.

With your one-time donation of L$2500 we will present you with a framed certificate for you to hang in your virtual space, as well as virtually engrave your name on the wall next to The Arcade’s landing point. With your generous gift, we will be able to continue to create new Arcade gacha themed innovations for the upcoming and future rounds.

Visit the Second Life® Marketplace to learn more, and make your donation.

Once your name is presented, we’ll keep it up on site for as long as the Arcade continues to be. While we will not change or transfer the name, we will of course fix any typos in good faith.

Thank you for your consideration, and we hope you’ll choose to be a friend of The Arcade!
