For those who still aren't sure. (And if you don't mind, don't publish your region)

Second Life and OpenSim are not traditionally classified as "games" in the way titles like World of Warcraft or Fortnite are. Instead, they are often described as virtual worlds or metaverses. Here's an explanation:

Lack of Predetermined Objectives: Unlike many games that have specific objectives, missions, or end goals, Second Life and OpenSim don't offer specific tasks for players. Users decide what they want to do, whether it's socializing, building, trading, or exploring.

Creation and Customization: In both platforms, users can create almost anything, from virtual structures to clothing and art. This level of creative freedom is broader than in most traditional games.

Real Economy: Both Second Life (with its Linden Dollar, L$) and certain OpenSim grids have their own economies and currencies, which in some cases can be exchanged for real money.

Social Interaction: A major draw for many users of both platforms is social interaction, similar to a chat room or social media platform, but in a 3D environment.

Diverse Uses: There are various reasons why people use these platforms, from simple social interaction to business, education, training, simulations, and other purposes unrelated to gaming.

However, although they aren't games in the traditional sense, some users might participate in game-like activities within these virtual worlds or set up regions and environments with game-like objectives.

In essence, both Second Life and OpenSim are more like expansive 3D social platforms or metaverses than traditional games.


----------


Second Life y OpenSim no se clasifican tradicionalmente como "juegos" de la manera que lo hacen títulos como World of Warcraft o Fortnite. En su lugar, a menudo se describen como mundos virtuales o metaversos. A continuación, una explicación:

Falta de Objetivos Predeterminados: A diferencia de muchos juegos que tienen objetivos específicos, misiones o metas finales, Second Life y OpenSim no ofrecen tareas específicas para los jugadores. Los usuarios deciden qué quieren hacer, ya sea socializar, construir, comerciar o explorar.

Creación y Personalización: En ambas plataformas, los usuarios pueden crear casi cualquier cosa, desde estructuras virtuales hasta ropa y arte. Este nivel de libertad creativa es más amplio que en la mayoría de los juegos tradicionales.

Economía Real: Tanto Second Life (con su Linden Dollar, L$) como ciertas redes de OpenSim tienen sus propias economías y monedas, que en algunos casos pueden ser intercambiadas por dinero real.

Interacción Social: Un gran atractivo para muchos usuarios de ambas plataformas es la interacción social, similar a una sala de chat o plataforma de redes sociales, pero en un entorno 3D.

Usos Diversos: Hay diversas razones por las que la gente usa estas plataformas, desde la simple interacción social hasta negocios, educación, capacitación, simulaciones y otros propósitos no relacionados con los juegos.

Sin embargo, aunque no son juegos en el sentido tradicional, algunos usuarios pueden participar en actividades tipo juego dentro de estos mundos virtuales, o establecer regiones y entornos con objetivos similares a los de un juego.

En esencia, tanto Second Life como OpenSim son más como plataformas sociales 3D expansivas o metaversos que juegos tradicionales.

The Pumpkin House that traveled with us from the Old grid to the new. One of our many original decoration creations. It can be used as a fantasy home or shrink it and make it a decoration on a table, the possibilities are endless...pretty much... it's in the Holidays & Seasons department of the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

The kids are back to school, Labor Day is upon us, soon it will be Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years....so once again thoughts of our favorite holidays are upon us, of wonderful family celebrations and sharing time, laughs and love.

hello everyone,
I just wanted to send out this note to all of our Barefoot-Dreamers.
Thanks to Huga's untiring efforts the grid is up.
As she and Gabe noted this issue was beyond our control, but with the help of our server providers and with Huga and others brainstorming and troubleshooting, the server provider was finally able to track down the problem.
Thank you so much Huga!
.
We also want to thank you all for your patience and encouraging words.
Obviously, we would never want to have this happening and we do our best to keep the grid up and running. And we love having you all here as part of Barefoot-Dreamers.
However, life isn't perfect. So things happen…
.

please let us know if you have any issues, we are here to help.
Gabe, Huga, Kotu and rayne

Salemaleikum und herzlich willkommen im Reich des großen osmanischen Reiches des Sultans Nojan Omar!

Ottoman Empire ist eine Rollenspiel Region von Noozara Roleplay. Das RP dreht sich um die Geschichte des osmanischen Reiches und dessen Verstrickungen in verschiedene Zeitebenen.

Einst herrschte der Sultan Nojan Omar über das Reich Atlantis, welches sich im Sternenbild Sirius befand aufgrund kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen mit Piraten und anderen Sternenvölkern, sah er sich gezwungen seine Heimat mitsamt seinem Gefolge zu verlassen um sich auf den Weg zu Terra (Erde) zu machen. Leider ging auf dieser Reise etwas schief und das Raumschiff stürzte in ein Zeitloch welches die Insasssen zwar auf Terra katapultierte aber in eine Zeit um tausende von Jahren zurückversetzte. Das Schlimmste daran war, daß alle Insassen dabei ihre Erinnerung an die Zeit vor dem Absturz verloren und sich in einer Welt des osmanischen Reiches um das 14. Jahrhundert wiederfanden.

Für den Sultan uns sein Gefolge schien es als seien sie nie woanders gewesen und auch das dortige Volk hegte keinerlei Verdacht und akzeptierte den Herrscher ebenso.

Dann erschien plötzlich ein Sternendeuter und überreichte dem Sultan eine seltsame Flasche, welche ein besonderes Geheimnis verbarg...

Willst du auch Teil unseres abenteuerlichen Rollenspiels sein, so schau dir die Stadt Konstantinopel mit all ihren Winkeln und Gassen an. Vielleicht findest du darin deine Rolle und wirst Teil der Exotischen Reise in eine Welt aus tausend und einer Nacht .


Wir freuen uns auf Dich!

das Noozara RP Team

Salemaleikum and welcome to the kingdom of the great Ottoman Empire of Sultan Nojan Omar!

Ottoman Empire is a roleplaying region of Noozara Roleplay. The RP revolves around the history of the Ottoman Empire and its entanglements in different time levels.

Sultan Nojan Omar once ruled over the kingdom of Atlantis, which was located in the constellation Sirius. Due to military conflicts with pirates and other star peoples, he was forced to leave his homeland together with his entourage in order to make his way to Terra (Earth). Unfortunately, something went wrong on this journey and the spaceship fell into a time hole which catapulted the occupants to Terra but took them back thousands of years. The worst part was that all the occupants lost their memories of the time before the crash and found themselves in a world of the Ottoman Empire around the 14th century.

For the sultan and his entourage it seemed as if they had never been anywhere else and the people there had no suspicions and accepted the ruler as well.

Then suddenly a astrologer appeared and presented the sultan with a strange bottle, which hid a special secret...

If you also want to be part of our adventurous role-playing game, take a look at the city of Constantinople with all its nooks and crannies. Maybe you will find your role in it and become part of the Exotic Journey into a World of One Thousand and One Nights.


We look forward to seeing you!
