1. It's free to join

3. With your free account you can get a free Little island to set up a home.
4. People are super friendly, very few grifters (so far I've seen none).

6. There are always mentors to help you.
7. Fees are very very low or non-existent.
8. Uploads are free
9. SL is too crowded with stuff, wouldn't it be nicer to be reborn again, go shoe shopping for the first time, to meet new friends, to build your first home, to recreate yourself.
10. Islands Oasis is so new and still small you can be the first to open ...a model agency, a fashion group, a bar... whatever you can imagine and you can make it BIG because you were the first to do it.
11. Islands Oasis has its marketplace, its mesh enabled, has all the bells and whistles SL does.
12. Even if you aren't a very good designer or builder, you might get sales and recognition since you don't have 32143456476978 stores competing with yours.
13. Island Oasis has two huge malls filled with FREE shops, all you do is find an empty one, pay the tier box for 0 paulinos and enjoy your shop!
....and the two most import to me:
14. Its Lag Free (to me it is), because they have no mainland... aaand
15. *drum rolls* Islands Oasis has its own Wetherby's!
I'm not getting paid to advertise for Islands Oasis, I'm just tired of how SL is mistreating land owners, designers and everyone really. I'm not leaving SL, I have too many friends, and a clientele who want my designs, but I think its wise to branch out, with how things are handled in Linden Labs we don't know when it might go out of business, and out of all grids I've been so far Islands Oasis is the one I would recommend.
