On March 18th, 2004 residents of Second Life got a glimpse at the newest sims to be added to the continent, by way of a tantalizing post by Xenon Linden with a mysterious image.
"Greetings, During a recent excavation at the Luna Oaks shopping mall I discovered evidence of a lost city beyond the western edge of the known world..." - Magellian Linden - March 18, 2004

On March 24th, we saw another post from the Lindens, this time with several more pictures as preparations were being made to open the land to the public. Included in the images was an aerial shot, as well as a few of the new trolley system that would provide transit along the city streets.

Sometime in late 2005, around October, these sims were recreated in the Teen Grid, next to the welcome area. Looking exactly the same, with the same land parcels, these sims have become a huge hit!
