An Important Update from Aethro: Closing Our Second Life Estate Operations

Dear Aethro Community,

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to you today. After four years of dedication, creativity, and community building within Second Life, we have made the tough decision to shut down Aethro's estate operations. This decision did not come lightly and is the result of prolonged challenges, including a significant lack of sales and an ongoing drain on our resources.

Our journey in Second Life has been incredibly rewarding, filled with remarkable creativity and unforgettable interactions. We've been privileged to host a vibrant community of tenants, creators, and visitors who have turned our digital spaces into a canvas for their imagination. Your enthusiasm and support have been the backbone of Aethro, and for that, we are forever grateful.

I want to assure our current tenants your digital home with us will remain your own until the region shuts down. However, please note that as of today, we will no longer be accepting rent payments. 

This decision has been incredibly difficult. Aethro Estate is not just a business; it has been a labor of love, a source of pride, and a significant part of our lives for the past four years. However, as we navigate these challenging times, we must prioritize the well-being of my family and the future of our company. It is with a heavy heart that we close this chapter, but we believe it is the best course of action under the circumstances.

We are immensely proud of what we've built together and the community that has flourished within Aethro. Although our estate operations are ending, the spirit of innovation and community that defined our time in Second Life will continue to inspire us. We are deeply thankful to each and every one of you who joined us on this journey. Your creativity, passion, and support have meant the world to us.

As we move forward, we will carry the memories and experiences from our Second Life estates with us. Thank you for making Aethro a wonderful place, and for your understanding and support during this transition.

With heartfelt thanks and best wishes for the future,

Paul Kaiser aka Zack Massiel (Second Life)
