Virtual rabbits across Second Life will fall asleep on Saturday then never wake up, now that the their digital food supply has been shut down by a legal battle. The player-made and player-sold Ozimals brand of digirabbits are virtual pets that players breed and care for in the sandbox MMO, and even need to feed by buying DRM-protected virtual food. But they rely on servers. Waypoint reported earlier today that the seller of Ozimals and the Pufflings virtuabirds has received a legal threat he says he cannot afford to fight, so they’ve shut down. By Saturday, rabbits will run out of food and enter hibernation

The rabbits aren’t dead, they’re sleeping. They simply can never wake up.


lolwut, imagine having a dead rabbit in your home forever

That makes too much sense and not enough money.

need to feed by buying DRM-protected virtual food


So, are people buying virtual food for virtual rabbit with real life money?

Basically the whole "sleeping" thing is if these rabbits aren't fed within 72 hours, they go to sleep until they are fed again. But since the food got cease/desisted, the rabbits will eventually just go to sleep forever since there will be no more food to buy. The dude made some special food that keeps them awake forever for a brief period after he got the notice, but not everyone got it iirc.

So basically the rabbits will either sleep forever ir be cursed with immortality >_>

I don't think they can, almost all objects in Second Life are made by players (or third party companies) to sell to other players so these rabbits where designed by another player to do this if not given that good object.

Altering a player made item even one that is not functional anymore would break the core design of the "game" and could make the people paying into it unwilling to invest into creating new objects.

Second life is literally what it's called.

People form REAL 2nd life relationships, they buy digital clothes for their avatars, they buy pets, accessories, houses, etc...

That entire game is living your ENTIRE life in a digital world and paying for it like you would in the real world.
