One of the big things that SL can do that few other virtual world-type platforms can do, is its in-world building features and the ability to collaboratively create and build.

With this in mind, including some kind of sandbox region in SLB, suitably isolated to prevent damage to surrounding regions, could be a good showing of this feature. It can be used as an unpack area, or to do basic build lessons in, show off effects and toys, maybe even enable Combat2 with teleport-on-death set to no action for weapons use up on a sky platform.

So long as the region/parcel options are properly set and someone's around to run clean-up or hit the stop button as necessary, the full insanity of open sandboxes doesn't have to impact the other regions. But it can be a good showing of the toys and collaborative silly shenanigans that other VR platforms just don't really do.
