I tried running 5.87 but... I had issues with it. It loaded the wizardry sim 3x the objects. In other words you could delete any object and there would stilll be 2 of the same object in the same spot. Additionally, it loaded only very little of other oars. So regions that were huge would only load like 200 mb. So not sure what is up with 5.87. I did however, find a complete save of 5.62 where i backed up the entire dreamgrid directory. So I copied that to a new production location and executed it, and im back in business. Since I have the storage space I may do this from now on.

Discover a realm where imagination soars beyond the horizon. Skyrealm invites you to explore a breathtaking world suspended in the clouds, where art, fantasy, and innovation merge.

I just added my Persistence of Memory exhibit, can be seen by the dance tower.

Thank you @FerdFrederix for giving us a platform where we can create magic.

if you come to Big City Life you need patience. lol First to load in cache and then to drive with public transportation like bus and train. (but you can drive with taxi or any other car too)
There are already driving 2 blue busses with each 40 min routes. The green bus is only driving close to shops and is in the city. This tour is just 7 min long.
The Maglev Tram brings you also to suburbs and country side. There are two trams. But one tour is 20 min long.
The Santa Fe is the fastest and just needs 15 min for a circuit.
The Sydney City train is slow and needs 23 min for a circuit.
So if you wait at bus stops or at railway stations, then take your time.
It could be that the Santa Fe is not driving. But then it has home at landing point railway station and you can start it by yourself. Just click on locomotive and you get blue menu. First you click "align" and then "start". That's it. (Listen if the Locomotive really says "align" and "starting". Align is important. If it has not said align then click once more align.)
It all depends how long the grid is running without a restart and how many people are on the whole grid. Usually if the grid is running one day all is working fine. But after two days it gets slower and if many people were on the whole grid the more. On Decadence Grid is also the biggest mall in opensim "Grimm". Grimm has usually always traffic. Just the Athena clothes building is 1 km long and you get all there.
But usually one day after restarting grid, all works perfect how it should.
Anyway there is no guarantee that all busses and trains arrive punctually, although I am German. lol Our Deutsche Bundesbahn is not anymore that punctually too. lol

But you can also fly with helicopter or planes. The planes start at airport, of course and fly in altitude about 200 meters. One starts at Hangar and one at Terminal 6. There was another at terminal 4 but this would have been too much. lol Be sure you have a good computer and can use 1024 distance draw. Otherwise you would not have fun.
For the 4 helicopters it is the same. But the blue helicopter is just flying at 60 meters altitude and you can reduce distance draw to enjoy. The helicopters land at different points. Just the emergency heli starts and lands on roof of the Broadway building. Here you can watch a flight with it over central park.
https://rumble.com/v4jh7dq-helicopter-flight-over-central-...

Long beach is perhaps the longest beach in opensim. More than 2 km long. (For draw distance reason at 1024 I can't take full picture.) Be careful with traffic at the promenade street. Lot of walkers and skaters. So don't stand around on pavement and look in the air lol This part of Big City Life is not leaned on NYC. More inspiration comes from Tel Aviv. But is a fantasy VR city anyway. lol

Sub-Version Town (previously known as Princess) now re-worked and improved thanks to Tansy Fields.

All new "Pink Owl Avatar Shop" by Tansy Fields!
Several items from other regions have now been combined onto the Sub-Version Town region including a scripts store, a games area, skate park and car dealership.
Ashland Jewelry by Abbi Ashland is of course still available.

We have also now added 8 rental properties that can be rented by hypergrid visitors (of course you can't set home), using the fantastic "Vallands Rental System".

37 days until opening day of the OpenSim Worlds Fair! That means we have 37 days to finalize our exhibits and the website. We still have a few spots open if you are interested see: https://www.opensimworldsfair.com/exhibit

Funsize Dinkies Roadtrip is back after a Christmas Break... Today the Dinkies headed off to Pepperland I & II.
(Can be found at https://opensimworld.com/hop/79336 )

A fantastic Region with lots to see and alot of hard work has gone into the Story being told on there to follow. Pepperland is the creation by Mudpuddle Cleanslate and Chelsea Louloudi, of many scenes from Yellow Submarine... a 1968 British animated musical fantasy comedy film inspired by the music of the Beatles.

The Funsize Dinkies loved the every moment on this Region.

* After cleaning the roads, and the main castles and inns entries, the group went back to the farm and stocked as much as possible to fill up the storages for the winter (Max, Mina, Steve, Justin, Anniera). While at the farm, Mina who had lost her memory, remembered who she was, and Max the future King reminded her their past relationship and propose to her! (She agreed !)
* Asad tricked Mina to follow him, abducting her. Max, Steve and Justin went to her rescue, and found her and Asad stuck high on the red mountains. While saving Mina, Asad escaped.
* Steve went to see Justin to discuss the creation of a Knighthood based on Honor, Respect and chivalry : The Realm's Knights!
* An investigation about dragons behavior lead to the conclusion:
--Dragons are passive when not attacked so far (when not hungry), so dont attack them. Lets find their food source.
* Rowk refused to take the Lordship of StormsEnd, so it is available to anyone to take over.
