Fleetwood Dance Club

The Fleetwood Dance Club is the place for music, dancing and Steampunk atmosphere on Fleetwood Beach.

The club combines industrial architecture with a more elegant and less overloaded Steampunk style. Metal, warm lighting and technical details create a distinctive atmosphere while keeping the feeling of a real dance club.

Inside, visitors will find a spacious circular dance floor, a DJ area and plenty of room to dance, meet other people and relax. The architecture has been designed to give the club its own character while still fitting naturally into the world of Fleetwood Beach.

Whether as a stop during your exploration of the region or as a destination for a longer evening, the Fleetwood Dance Club is a place to meet, dance and enjoy the atmosphere.

Come inside, enjoy the music and experience another side of Fleetwood Beach.

The Fleetwood Beach Monorail

The Fleetwood Beach Monorail is more than just a means of transportation – it is a small attraction in its own right and offers a unique way to explore the region.

The gondola travels automatically along a predefined route through Fleetwood Beach. It follows a series of waypoints and stops at designated stations, where visitors can get on and off.

During the ride, you can enjoy the region from an elevated perspective. Buildings, plazas, technical installations and other areas of Fleetwood Beach can be discovered comfortably from the gondola.

The railway has been designed to match the style of the region, combining the idea of a classic monorail with the mechanical and industrial atmosphere of Fleetwood Beach.

Simply take a seat, enjoy the ride and experience Fleetwood Beach from a different point of view.

CC-CLUB Returns to Its Roots

🎶 CC-CLUB is going back to what it does best.

We're bringing the spirit of the good old days into the present, with a renewed focus on quality music, authentic vibes, and unforgettable beats.

From now on, our events will be dedicated exclusively to genres such as:

Tech House
Progressive Tech House
Minimal & Deep
Peak Time Techno
Synth-Pop
Synthwave
EBM
Industrial Underground
Gothic
EDM

To match the unique atmosphere of each genre, we have carefully selected clubs and venues that reflect their distinctive sound and culture.

We are not here to generate artificial traffic—that has never been our purpose in OpenSim. Whether 30 people attend or just 3, our passion remains the same; the music comes first, together with a good community and conversation.
Our Slogan : Good Vibes = Good Mood !

We understand that these genres may not appeal to the majority of OpenSim residents, and that's perfectly fine. CC-CLUB is dedicated to those who share our love for electronic, alternative music cultures and the underground sound of that time.
Everyone who appreciates these sounds is warmly welcome.

🎵 One thing we stand firmly behind: we do not support or play AI-generated music. Our commitment is to authentic genuine creativity, and real musical expression.


C&C 🖤


CC-CLUB kehrt zu seinen Wurzeln zurück

🎶 Der CC-CLUB besinnt sich wieder auf das, was er am besten kann.

Wir holen den Geist der guten alten Zeit in die Gegenwart – mit einem neuen Fokus auf erstklassige Musik, authentische Vibes und unvergessliche Beats.

Ab sofort widmen wir unsere Events ausschließlich Genres wie:

Tech House
Progressive Tech House
Minimal & Deep
Peak Time Techno
Synth-Pop
Synthwave
EBM
Industrial Underground
Gothic
EDM

Um der einzigartigen Atmosphäre jedes Genres gerecht zu werden, haben wir Clubs und Locations sorgfältig ausgewählt, die den jeweiligen Sound und die dazugehörige Kultur widerspiegeln.

Uns geht es nicht darum, künstlich hohe Besucherzahlen zu generieren – das war in OpenSim nie unser Ziel. Ob 30 Leute kommen oder nur drei: Unsere Leidenschaft bleibt dieselbe. Die Musik steht an erster Stelle, ebenso wie eine gute Community und der Austausch untereinander.
Unser Motto: Gute Klänge = Gute Laune!

Uns ist bewusst, dass diese Genres vielleicht nicht den Geschmack der breiten Masse in OpenSim treffen – und das ist völlig in Ordnung. Der CC-CLUB richtet sich an alle, die unsere Liebe zu elektronischer Musik, alternativen Musikkulturen und dem damaligen Underground Sound teilen. Jeder, der diese Klänge zu schätzen weiß, ist herzlich willkommen.

🎵 Eines steht für uns fest: Wir unterstützen keine KI-generierte Musik und spielen sie auch nicht. Wir setzen voll und ganz auf authentische, echte Kreativität und wahrhaftigen musikalischen Ausdruck.


C&C 🖤

„Reborn“ – ein Abend, an dem Stoffe Geschichten erzählen.

Diese Kollektion spielt mit Licht und Bewegung, als hätte jedes Kleid beschlossen, seine eigene Bühne zu betreten. Kein lautes Drama, sondern leise Eleganz, die sich selbst genügt. Die Farben wirken wie ein Gespräch zwischen Mut und Stil – und genau das macht sie lebendig.

Man spürt, dass hier niemand versucht, zu gefallen. Die Outfits tun einfach, was sie wollen: glänzen, fließen, auffallen – aber mit Haltung. Ein bisschen Ironie liegt in der Luft, als wollten sie sagen: „Ja, wir sind schön, aber wir wissen auch, dass das nicht alles ist.“

My Suitcase - I have heard recent complaints about the system. When you travel to another grid your inventory is blocked except for 1) items you are already wearing and 2) items in "My Suitcase".

At Holoneon we decided to make it user configurable. If you want to turn off the "My Suitcase" feature and have access to your full inventory when going to an HG destination, you can issue a command in local chat. You can also check the status and re-enable My Suitcase using a command.

Here are the commands:

Commands

/19341 suitcase on
/19341 suitcase off
/19341 suitcase status
/19341 suitcase default

"default" turns it "on" (the Holoneon grid default)

NOTE: you have to set your preference _before_ teleporting to an HG destination.

Announcement regarding the passing of DJ Azraella.

To the community, friends, and fellow artists,

It is with profound sadness that I am writing to inform you that DJ Azraella passed away peacefully surrounded by family just weeks after her final event and her public post regarding the lack of process on Neverworld grid. I am her surviving spouse. Alithea (her real name) spent her final months bringing her passion, music, and talent to this platform as a DJ and music producer. Music was a large parts of her life, and she deeply valued the genuine connections she made with her listeners, fans, and fellow performers.
Regarding the recent events: Alithea spoke the absolute truth about the abuse she experienced and the systemic failure that followed. We are deeply grateful to the community members, onlookers, and witnesses who saw through the edited timelines, called out the manipulation, and stood up to defend her integrity when she was at her most vulnerable. Your solidarity meant the world to her, and it means the world to me. The institutional response here was entirely compromised, but the court of public opinion has already spoken. No amount of righteous indignation, fabricated evidence, or protective bias from Neverworld grid management can rewrite history or erase the reality of how she was treated in her final weeks. This will be my only communication on this matter. I am completely disconnecting from this Platform to focus on my grief and to honour my wife’s memory in the real world, where her true legacy, her music, and her staunch integrity remain entirely unblemished. Thank you to everyone who brought her joy, danced to her music, and stood by her side. Sincerely, Road Kill.

Reposted on behalf of DJ Azraella.
Why Never Neverworld.

There is something particularly bleak about a community calling itself “The Friendly Grid” while apparently treating abusive behaviour as a problem best solved by telling the person on the receiving end: “You have a mute button.” Welcome to Neverworld Grid, where, judging by my experience, “friendly” may be less a standard of conduct than a decorative slogan attached to the front door.

I was a DJ in a virtual worlds for years lately as a visiting performer at Neverworld. By the point this incident occurred, however, my personal circumstances had changed. I am dying. That is not written for melodrama or sympathy. It matters because it explains what it cost me physically to be there at all. Despite being seriously ill and largely confined to bed, I got out of bed and DJed one final event to say thank you to my audience for supporting me and to draw people in one last time, which also helped to promote Neverworld Grid.

The reward was memorable, although perhaps not in quite the way their promotional department might prefer. During the event, I was verbally attacked and abused by a member of Neverworld Grid.

Behind every avatar is a human being. The fact that an interaction takes place in a virtual world does not make the behaviour, or its effect on another person, imaginary. The following day, despite the physical toll, I got out of bed again and raised a formal complaint with the owner of Neverworld Grid. I expected, at minimum, the complaint to be taken seriously. What I encountered instead was dismissal. No action was taken against the resident. My complaint was pretty much ignored and seen as nothing other than an interpersonal issue despite the fact I was a victim of one of their residents.

And then came this: “You have a mute button.”

And there, in five small words, lies the much larger problem. Of course I have a mute button. A mute button is a useful tool for an individual. It is not a substitute for moderation. Those are two entirely different things. A mute button allows the recipient to stop hearing somebody's behaviour. Moderation determines whether that behaviour is acceptable within the community in the first place. Confusing the two produces a wonderfully convenient system for administrators: the offender remains, the complainant makes them disappear from view, and management is spared the disagreeable business of actually managing anything. Problem solved. Well, invisible, which is apparently close enough. Imagine applying this philosophy anywhere else. Someone behaves disgracefully in a cinema and the management responds: 'you can use ear-plugs.' One can only admire the efficiency. No difficult confrontation. No standards requiring enforcement. No possibility of upsetting a patron who may have a life-time ticket. Just mute and carry on.

Neverworld Grid presents itself with the tagline: “The friendly grid.” That is precisely why this incident matters. If you advertise friendliness as part of your identity, then friendliness ceases to be merely a pleasant aspiration. It becomes a claim about the community you operate. And claims should survive contact with reality. A genuinely friendly community is not one in which nobody ever behaves badly. Such a place does not exist outside advertising copy and unusually optimistic children's television. A friendly community is one in which antisocial behaviour is taken seriously when it occurs. It is demonstrated by what administrators do when unfriendliness becomes inconvenient. That is the test. Not the logo. Not the website. Not the slogan. Not smiling avatars standing beneath carefully selected promotional photographs. The test comes when somebody crosses the line and management has to decide whether its proclaimed standards actually mean anything.

In my case, I believe Neverworld Grid failed that test spectacularly. I cannot state why the owner chose not to take action. Only the owner can answer that. But users are entitled to ask uncomfortable questions when enforcement appears absent.

What behaviour actually results in consequences?
Does a resident's financial contribution affect how complaints concerning them are handled?
Are paying residents subject to precisely the same behavioural standards as visitors are?
What happens after a formal complaint?
And perhaps most importantly: What behaviour would actually be serious enough for Neverworld Grid management to intervene rather than telling the recipient, “You have a mute button”? These are questions created by the apparent absence of action. If Neverworld Grid wants people to believe that payment of tier guarantees renters a friendly safe place, there is a very simple way of showing it: Have standards and apply them.

There is another unpleasant implication to the “you have a mute button” response. It transfers responsibility. The person accused of behaving abusively does not apparently need to change their behaviour. Instead, the person experiencing it must change theirs. You must mute. You must avoid. You must adapt. Management remains comfortably above the unpleasantness while the individual affected quietly rearranges their virtual existence around somebody else's deplorable conduct. That isn't moderation. It is outsourcing moderation to the victim. And it creates an obvious incentive for the worst personalities in any community: behave however you please as long as you keep paying. Eventually you can achieve the remarkable distinction of being peacefully surrounded by people who either tolerate you or cannot see or hear you. Community harmony, achieved through selective deafness as decreed by management.

There is another aspect of this which a mute button cannot undo: the physical effect of the encounter has already happened. Verbal abuse is not experienced solely as words arriving through speakers or appearing on a screen. Human beings respond physically to confrontation and distress. The body does not first consult the graphics card to determine whether an attack is sufficiently real to react to it. For a healthy person, that reaction can be deeply unpleasant. For somebody who is dying, already seriously ill and functioning with greatly diminished reserves, the consequences of that stress can carry considerably greater weight and could even be the last stress that body can take. And once that distress has occurred, telling the person “you have a mute button” is not a remedy.

The button cannot take you backwards in time. It cannot prevent the encounter that already happened. It cannot erase the stress already inflicted. And it certainly cannot answer the question of why the behaviour that caused the complaint apparently attracted no consequence. There is a peculiar cruelty in dismissing that distinction which no amount of virtual-world branding can disguise.

I did not expect sainthood. I did not expect somebody to erect a statue of my avatar outside the welcome centre. I expected basic human decency and a complaint to be treated seriously.

Apparently that must be the 'Super Ultimate Friend of the Owner' premium feature. Neverworld Grid calls itself friendly. People considering investing their time, creativity, communities and money there should understand what “friendly” meant when my complaint was placed in front of its owner. Because communities reveal themselves not through their slogans but through the behaviour they are prepared to tolerate. Anybody can write: “We are the friendly grid.” The interesting question is what happens when somebody isn't friendly. In my experience, the answer was depressingly simple: Nothing. The complaint was effectively binned. Apparently making bad actors into clouds is your only option meanwhile Management avoided doing anything meaningful other than preserve a monthly tier payment. And the slogan will survive. Perhaps that is the most impressive achievement of all. In virtual worlds, apparently even irony can be rendered in 3D.

Neverworld Grid also seems very keen on telling people that it isn't Second Life.

Second Life gets plenty of criticism, some of it deserved. One complaint you hear is that region owners can make their own rules and, if you don't follow them, eject or ban you. That can certainly be irritating. People can make ridiculous rules. People can throw you out for reasons you think are unfair. Give somebody control over a virtual patch of land and occasionally they begin behaving as though Buckingham Palace has asked for the keys back. But there is another side to it. If you enter somebody's region, you know they have rules and that breaking them can have consequences. If you behave badly enough, somebody can actually do something about it. After my experience with Neverworld Grid, I find myself wondering why removing that is supposed to be an improvement. If the alternative to somebody saying “These are the rules here” is somebody behaving abusively and the person being abused getting told “You have a mute button,” which system is actually friendlier?

There has to be some middle ground between petty little dictators throwing people off regions because they don't like the colour of their shoes and a free-for-all where nobody wants to intervene.
Rules can be abused. So can the absence of rules. The difference is that when there are sensible community standards, ordinary people know where they stand. Don't abuse people. Don't deliberately disrupt things. Don't make somebody else's experience miserable. Hardly tyranny. And if somebody does cross those lines, there should be consequences. Neverworld seems to dislike the way people in Second Life exercise control over their own regions. Fine. But what is being offered instead? If the answer is greater freedom, then whose freedom are we talking about? The freedom of somebody to enjoy an event without being abused? Or the freedom of somebody to behave however they like without anybody in authority becoming involved? Because those freedoms collide eventually. Mine did. And apparently I had a mute button.

Then there is the question of tier. People pay to be on grids like this. That makes it reasonable to ask whether somebody who keeps paying can expect considerably more tolerance than somebody who just visits but still contributes to the success of the grid. I cannot prove that this is what happened in my case. But the response I received certainly gives me reason to ask. If somebody pays tier and behaves disgracefully, what happens? Are they warned? Are there consequences? Or does everybody they upset simply get reminded where the mute button is? Because if the practical message becomes: Pay your tier and management will look the other way, then who exactly does that attract? Most decent people don't need immunity from basic standards of behaviour. Creators don't need it. DJs don't need it. People running events don't need it. People who simply want somewhere pleasant to spend a few hours don't need it. The people who benefit most from a place where bad behaviour carries few consequences are, rather obviously, the people most likely to behave badly. That seems an extraordinary foundation for something calling itself “The Friendly Grid.”

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be different from Second Life. But different does not automatically mean better. If Second Life says, in effect, “behave yourself here or somebody may throw you out,” while Neverworld's answer to abuse is “you have a mute button,” I know which approach now looks more like a community and which looks more like an incompetent Management avoidance strategy. Being different is easy. Being better requires rather more than a tagline. If Neverworld Grid believes this account misrepresents its standards, it can explain them.

What happens when someone reports serious verbal abuse? What behaviour actually results in action?
Are paying residents treated exactly the same as everyone else? And why was “You have a mute button” considered an adequate response to my complaint?

Those answers would tell people considerably more about Neverworld Grid than any slogan ever could.
Until then, perhaps the tagline deserves a small amendment:

“Neverworld Grid — The Friendly Grid. You have a mute button.”
or
" Welcome to Neverworld the Friendly Grid where you may have to mute your fellow residents"
or perhaps as almost happened in my case:
" Neverworld the Friendly Grid (we let you away with murder just keep paying you'll see)"

The bottom line has to be this:

If you claim friendliness you automatically accept a duty of care to all users. and paying doesn't excuse unfriendliness. Community standards you claim must be enforced swiftly and across all tiers of membership and extend to visitors. I was told my abuser hadn't broken any TOS. I guess there is no actual TOS beyond the owner's mood. Yes you guessed it my abuser is a friend of the owner.

My final advice to anyone looking for a new home...lift the carpets before you decide.

I won't see a resolution to this issue or see Virtual again but that doesn't mean you can't learn from my experience.

Azraella.

“Behind Glass”

I hold a world inside my hands
too heavy for what it became
A flicker somewhere deep within
like endings learning how to begin

The colors burn but make no sound
no voice that dares to travel out
And everything feels far away
like I was never meant to stay
....................................................................................
„Hinter Glas“

Ich halte eine Welt in meinen Händen
zu schwer für das, was daraus geworden ist
Ein Flackern tief in mir
wie Enden, die lernen, neu anzufangen

Die Farben brennen, doch kein Laut
keine Stimme, die es wagt, sich zu erheben
Und alles fühlt sich fern an
als wäre ich nie dazu bestimmt gewesen zu bleiben.
