We are now open for Christmas and you can come to experience the parade any day. Be patient logging in as it is a big build. There is a big underwater sim and much more. Merry Christmas!!
grid.kitely.com:8002:ANVIL-Island The entry problem is now fixed. My apologies.
This event was built by: Michael McHugh, Kimm Starr, Koshari Mahna, Ruby Odegee & Tony Gill with special help from Kayaker Magic and Webby Merlin from Clan Band. And includes many elements and objects created and built and offered for sale on the Kitely Market by high-quality creative builders.

Upgraded the horse rezzer script from the popular NPC horse rezzer to an "All-in-One" Animesh Horse Rezzer, with a load of features in the animesh horse.
Tip: to avoid the horse from dying, remove the "animesh horse rez" script, and have it roam around an area of your region or parcel, follow other horses, and other options.

One of the major benefits of the animesh horse is that it can cross regions (if allowed by the sim owner).
When you own the animesh horse, you can wear it an teleport around.

Bonjour,
Vous ne verrez plus çà, vous ne verrez plus jamais cela.
Le marché de Noël est mort, et ce n'est pas moi qui l'ai cassé !
Merci à tous ceux et toutes celles qui furent présents pendant ces 10 années, merci de votre soutient.
Maintenant c'est fini merci et au revoir.
N.B.: ce marché est l'oeuvre de Freddy Wright sur Francogrid vers 2010, et de personne d'autre.

Hello
This year you won't see that, you won't see that anymore.
The christmas market is dead.
I don't break it.
Thank you to all those who where there during ten years.
Thank you for your support.
Sorry Isn't my fault
Kisses

Many stores where you can buy NOTHING (after all, everything is free!) are waiting for you here. To make your stay as pleasant as possible, there are 4 frozen yogurt stores in the small town - number 5 will open eventually. Or not^^.
Furthermore, there are 2 clothing stores with fashion for men and women, although something has gone wrong with the textures here - but come and see for yourself!
Brand new addition is the hairdressing salon with no less than 3 hairstyles - I can already betray that they are really the latest craze ;)
* * *
Viele Geschäfte, in denen ihr NICHTS kaufen könnt (schließlich ist alles kostenlos!), warten hier auf euch. Um euren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten, gibt es 4 Frozen-Yoghurt-Läden in der kleinen Stadt- Nummer 5 wird irgendwann eröffnen. Oder auch nicht^^.
Ferner gibt es noch 2 Kleidungsgeschäfte mit Mode für Damen und Herren, wobei hier irgendwas mit den Texturen durcheinander gekommen sein - aber kommt und seht selbst!
Ganz neu dazugekommen ist der Friseursalon mit sage und schreibe 3 Frisuren - ich kann schon verraten, dass die echt der letzte Schrei sind ;)

I think the next AV i make will be a Gypsy, for the last three years on OS, i have had to change accounts and such three times for grid closings or other such non-sense... just getting tired of packing all my stuff and moving... so i need a good Gypsy outfit and a Caravan for sure.... special Thanx to Kashi of Virtual Zone Grid, one of the metaverse's constants.

Thank you to welcome me in Art Factory, and all the team, great artists communauty, I am honored to be part of it with a gallery.

The Land of DragonFyre... This oar available on outworldz (just type outworldz and oar into google), is a 15 story castle, with a wizards house, a church, a beautiful forest, a lake, a micro beach, automatic npc's, massive dungeon, and even flying dragons that never stop flying. It has 2 caves, a light house, a unicorn, and a cappucino machine. This is the one to get. Make it so #1. If you are anybody that wants a land that is already premodulated in the dureum this is the place for you... A masterpiece of virtual artistry! And there's even boats and a submarine. :O OMG! If you don't git a copy of DragonFyre, you ain't got it! >:( The #1 First Place oar winner in the 2021 grid region competition for best in overall design and use of space. Don't be left out! Git ya sum!

CopyKat Life Boat: hg.osgrid.org:80:CK Alt Island
CK Alt Island is a 2x2 region made available by Apollo Star. I'm still setting up the estate as a short-term hang-out/dance venue. Other uses, such as having shops, are possible if it looks like we need to use this region longer.

CK Alt Island is open to the public. CK residents can sign in with an alt account on another grid. Then come to the Island and set it as your home location if you like. We can use the region until November if we need to.

Thanks to everyone for your help and offers of land.

just a reminder.. this is an ADULT GRID, and an ADULT REGION.. that means no child avatars or children allowed.. it you think you have been wrongfully ejected and banned message me here and plead your case.. but if you look 12 you are a child avatar

Upate. This address should work for everyone:
virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Goodmorning, it seems not everyone is able to visit my region Avia at Virtual Worlds Zone Grid. Would you pls let me know? It should be opened to everyone. Alternative is to hop to virtual-worlds.zone:8002 and there choose region Avia. Hope it will be solved soon. http://virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Don't usually do drama politics lol but i recieved more than the usual Hate Mail since posting here. 1. This is no Second Life 2. 70% of the items i see for sale in Second Life are free downloadable objects and clothes modified and then resold for quite alot of money (i do game graphics in RL) 3. OS Grid came to us as a free open source and is especially valuable to those who are handicapped and on low incomes who can never never never afford SL to create their dreams 4. No other grid would be around if not for the FREE tech service from OS grid staff and developers 5. If you tweeked your copy of OS Grid sofware for YOUR GRID and it runs better GREAT that is what we want! YOUR HAPPINESS 6. When attending someones event try to have manners if possible, I know these are hard times and everyone is on edge but lets all just step back for a moment and take a breath. Im happy to help anyone or discuss or listen Hugsss and have a great day HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I want to clarify something there is someone going around spreading rumors about Club Equinox closing down~! Let me set the record straight! Club Equinox was started 3 years ago on the Kinky Grid by me and my Sister Chynna those that been to the old Equinox know her! There were not that many clubs around then and alot of them that were are gone today. We work hard to make Equinox a drama free no issues place to come party and anyone who ever came knows that we are a fun place to party! Xaria is and has always been a great partner in the club, We have seen a decline in people coming but we will be here for a very long time in the future we have many plans and improvements ! WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CLOSE~!~~~ so with that i want to stop the rumor mill that people have started about Xaria and Me many times before if anyone wants to find out whats going on your all more than happy to ask me or Xaria we be more than happy to tell you!

All outfits shown in the fashion show will be available for purchase on the catwalk immediately afterward.

We regret to announce an important update to our Terms of Service.
Due to recent incidents involving inappropriate and pedophilic behavior, BloodMoon Grid has decided to permanently prohibit child-like avatars on the grid.

We understand that this measure may seem unfair to some users who used such avatars purely for creative or innocent purposes.
However, our top priority is and will always remain the protection and safety of our residents, as well as full compliance with applicable laws.

We sincerely thank everyone who understands the necessity of this decision, and we apologize to those affected despite their responsible and harmless use.

Been happy with my weather system so I created one specially for my sims at EUROPA: no API called just simple script. it gives temperature in C, F and K (kelvin).. from inside and outside dome. Fits very well the thematic here! Thinking about releasing a copy at MAGABAGA MALL. unsure if someone would be interested though.

I have made a bunch of cute Halloween decorations. They are all at the end of the shop near the water—free, Full Perm, and NOT prefect. :) I also made a couple of dragons, a red one and a white one that glistens in the sunlight. Can you find them? Lots of new things are coming soon!

***OPENSIM ONLINE WEATHER SYSTEM V4 (VERSION 4) UPDATED RELEASE****
AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND FULLPERM AT WEATHER SECTOR

************WHATS NEW ON V4 FROM V3 VERSION?*************
PS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REZZED STUFFS FROM PREVIOUS VERSION (v3) ALL YOU WILL NEED IS REPLACE THE CONTROLLER AND THE SOUNDBOXES AND THE SCRIPT FOR THE SCULPTS SET!!! (These are the 3 scripts I modified for the bugs fix and new features!)

- Bug fixed:
--> Code 210 (Light Thunderstorm) now fetched from master to slave scripts properly;
--> Weather condition now never shows as "unknown".
- Enhancements:
- Information now sent to owner includes wind speed and direction, visibility and humidity.
- SOUNDBOXES with NIGHT SOUND (THE CRICKETS) SUPPRESSION updated:
* The script checks the object’s latitude and the current month!
* Tropics (≤ latitude 30°) → night sounds always play.
* Polar regions (≥ latitude 60°) → night sounds are always blocked.
* Mid-latitudes (latitude 30°–60°) → gradual suppression:

* In winter months (depending on latitude), night sounds are blocked.
* In summer months, "night" sounds play normally.
* The script stops "night" sound if suppression applies; "day","rain", "drizzle" and "snow" sounds always play normally when due.

If you’d like to see her in person, come visit and experience the wonder for yourself. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002/FairyDemesne/128/128/23 I am loving all this magic :) Thank you @FerdFrederix !! 🌳🧚🏽

Our latest addition to the Sub-Version mall: The Garden Centre.

Large collection of unique items for your garden - many with a fantasy feel to them.

As always many many items at other stores at Sub-Version Mall.

Through life, there are people and events that take and hold a piece of our soul - sometimes the better, sometimes for the worst. Sometimes the trigger are small, apparently insignificant things.
A piece of mine was taken 9 years ago when I saw the above screenshots in the news. I sobbed for day, as I still do today. I grieved for people I had never met, as I still do today.
PRIDE doesn't hold meaning (or the same meaning) for everyone - and that is okay.
But regardless of where we stand on, of what we believe on - Love and Kindness to our neighbours shall be the Law.
This is, once again, my Starchild wish and Blessing to you all:
'May, when given the choice, you always choose kindness. For you are all Children of the Earth and Starry Heavens, but your race is of Heaven Alone'
Let us remember:
'Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; and therefore let there be Beauty and Strength, Power and Compassion, Honour and Humility, Mirth and reverence within you.'
Blessed Pride
In Love & Grief,
Aurora Starchild

All are welcome at Three Hills Grid. We embrace a spirit of kindness, inclusivity, and respect, where everyone—regardless of background, identity, or orientation—can feel safe, valued, and free to be themselves. Whether you're here to explore, create, connect, or simply be, you belong.

This is a picture of the replica of the home I grew up in here in Pennsylvania. We had a huge farm house to live in and lots of freedom to roam wherever we liked. In my humble opinion, you just can't beat country life. The house, smoke house, garage and barn are all here at the mall just waiting for a new place to be set up. Blessings and much love, Lavia

"Hairpinning" Public Safety Annoucement and a small favor to ask of home Opensimulator server owners.

If you added a MAC address to a ban list, you may ban yourself, or ban all uses from any grid that uses a Loopback adapter for hairpinning. The problem is all Loopback adapters use the same MAC address. There is a different one for each type, such as WIndows, Mac and Linux.

Opensimulator servers require routers with working hairpinning so the server can find itself at the WAN's public IP. Loopback adapters are sometimes necessary at the server because not all home routers support hairpinning, a.k.a. Loopback. Only the the server can log in to itself, when the server has a loopback adapter. Others on thje same LAN can use a VPN, which moves the network endpoint outside the LAN, and onto the WAN.

Also, a lot of people think Loopback is needed for the Hypergrid. It's not. It only so the server can see itself at the external WAN IP.

I help maintain a list at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers of compatible and incompatible routers. Please, do us all a huge favor, and if your router for your home server is not listed, please comment the brand, model number and whether loopback works or not, and I will add it.

Thank you!

🎉 OSgrid is now open to the public again! 🎉

We’re happy to announce the official reopening of OSgrid!
To ensure a smooth and stable experience for everyone, please take the following steps carefully:

🧹 Before doing anything:

Clear your viewer caches (both textures and inventory).

Reload your regions (OARs) first using the following command:

load oar test.oar --force-assets
(Replace test.oar with the name of your own OAR file)

For IARs (inventory backups), please wait a little longer before uploading. Let’s take it step by step.

🌀 At LBSA Plaza:
You’ll find a question mark “?” on the plaza. Clicking it will help you stop appearing as a cloud.
Don’t forget to wear the folder offered through it to restore your avatar appearance properly.

🔄 Simulator update required:
Make sure to update your sim to the latest code on the website:
👉 https://osgrid.org/download.php

🙏 Thank you all for your patience and support.
This slightly extended downtime has allowed us to come back stronger, offering a more professional and stable experience for the entire OSgrid community.

See you in-world soon!
— The OSgrid Team
