Matthew Linden recently blogged about the I-World Team and the opening of I-World Island. According to him, “This team answers support tickets and live chats from residents who are experiencing some difficulties or looking for guidance with in-world issues.”

There are several things that the team is working toward to enhance the experience of residents in-world. One of those is the opening of I-World Island. According to Matthew, it is “…a place where we will try to offer additional signposting and guidance for some of the in-world issues that occur.”

Here are his comments regarding the opening of the island (embellishments my own):

To officially unveil the island, on Saturday 5th April, we are hosting the I-World Music Festival and want to offer you the opportunity to tune in to our broadcast (stream details) or to drop in on us at I-World Island and enjoy some live music over the course of 24 hours from Midnight PST until Midnight PST Sunday 6th April. We’ll follow up with some more details later in the week but you can be assured there are some fantastic live musicians gearing up to perform for you on the day!

Naturally we won’t be able to host everyone on one island but don’t forget you can tune in and hopefully be able to pop in for a wee while at another time during the day.

I’m pleased to be added to this roster of performances. This is an impressive event in that the performances last a full 24-hours! Here’s the lineup that Matthew shared with me:

I hope to see you there! If you can’t make it, definitely tune in to the stream to hear these great performers. Many people use iTunes or WinAmp to listen. At this time Windows Media Player does not support these live music streams.

Live music in SL is definitely one of the things that enhances my experience there.
