Overview
New Citizens Inc (commonly referred to as the NCI) is a PG Resident run help area for everyone created by Brace Coral in April 2005. It has become one of the largest mainland 'help areas' run by volunteer residents. NCI provides guides, classes and events, tutorials, information, and sandboxes for new players as well as advanced classes for the more experienced.
NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters.
