<p>Desmond Shang, operator of one of the most popular and cohesive themed communities in <a href="http://secondlife.com/"><em>Second Life</em></a>, is extending his community into <a href="http://www.bluemarsonline.com/"><em>Blue Mars</em></a> in just a few days time. Shang's Caledon, popular among aficionados of Victoriana, Steampunk and Gaslight, is opening a sister colony, <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/caledoniamars/">Caledonia</a> on <a href="http://massively.com/category/blue-mars"><em>Blue Mars</em></a>, with an initial stake of roughly four million square metres.</p>
<p>Caledonia is roughly 30% larger than Caledon, sporting a lot of wilder country, forests, mountains and more. We'll be looking forward to seeing what the content development pipeline will really do. Initial reports are that Caledonia will, even when built out, be considerably less bandwidth intensive on its own than Caledon.</p><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/12/17/second-lifes-caledon-expands-to-blue-mars/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Second Life's Caledon expands to Blue Mars</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/12/17/second-lifes-caledon-expands-to-blue-mars/">Second Life's Caledon expands to Blue Mars</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 17 Dec 2009 13:00:00 EST.
