    Before you respond, please read the details. I have tried the usual methods as far as I know.

    I don't have my own island; I'm trusted by the owner of the island where I "live." Next door to us, within sight, there is an island that has been abandoned since I joined "my" island many months ago. I think it would be fun to be my own neighbor. The original player wasn't active for more than a few weeks from the looks of it.

    I have asked numerous mods for advice, and they have been helpful. Based on their advice, I have written skyblock email to the owner (identified by the mods) to ask if they are willing to sell. I have never received a response. Based on info from mods, the owner has to relinquish control. And so I am stuck in limbo.

    If somehow this could happen, I know there would be rules to follow about resource sharing, illegal trade, etc., even though we are neighbors and allies. I am okay with that. Let the record show that I and my island mates are good citizens and rule followers. I just like the idea of starting anew with a familiar view. And if a bridge could connect us, so much the better.

    Now that the server is about to be upgraded, I have the sinking feeling that the island will soon disappear and I will be sad. I thought I would try here just in case anybody has any further suggestions or help to offer. Thanks in advance.

    We don't have any way of giving your the island next to you. You have to be very lucky to catch your neighbor online and convince them to give you their island, but since it's long abandoned it's unlikely he will be back.

    On the new server, islands are spawned sequentially next to each other, so if you and your friend do /newisland at the same time you should be able to get islands next to each other!

    If you haven't already done this yet, you can ask a smod to leave a written book with a message from you, on their island. That way you don't have to catch them online, but of course they would still have to log in to see it.

    I’ve asked Cypriot. You can have the island next to yours but you have to pay 75 USD. You may create a better deal since a new server is coming soon.

    You can do just about anything as long as you pay Cypriot the money he's looking for. I know someone who bought 2 or 3 rabbit spawners for $10 each from Cyp. I also agree that its been since the store purchases go to his Paypal.

    He told me it became 75 since a guy offered such a high price. He said it was gonna be 20 but someone overpaid.

    You have to be very lucky. Also he said he won’t do that trade on the new server.

    It's a good idea. I did something similar in email. But it's obvious the island has been abandoned since we first noticed it many months (years?) ago. The player never comes on the server; the island never changes. And also I'm pretty sure the mods told me they could tell there were no log ins. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Well, this is good news. I try not to bother Cyp but how do I go about reaching him?
