The new opensimworld HUD is out. This is a major update of the HUD. You can now instantly like a region and add to your bookmarks from in-world. As always you can access your bookmarks instantly and also go to the OSW page of the region that you are visiting. Also, you no longer have to worry about re-entering the HUD key. Go to our region to get it, along with the latest beacon.

Hi Everybody! I want to invite you to join me Today, SATURDAY, Sep. 17th some fantastic OSFest entertainment! You'll be amazed at the variety of displays, and the fantastic work that so many great builders have put together to make our Opensim experience so much fun and so exciting. You'll see things from the past, the present, the future and amazing fantasy builds, historical builds, fun builds and just about anything you can imagine. The theme this year is Past, Present & Future. And let me also invite you to hear the many talented DJs and Live Performers including ME. I hope to see you all there for an amazing event that so many have worked so hard to create. ---- hop://grid.opensimfest.com:8022/OSF_Welcome

You will notice our website is inactive, that is because we are transitioning to Joomla 4. fingers crossed 6.2 is coming, its been a bit quiet. But in order for 6.2 you have to update to 4 first.

I got it successfully on Joomla 4, now we have to get it looking like a website and re enable plugins/modules one by one so we dont crash the site. The previous template we used isn't compatible with 4.

Chat gpt was a big help in helping me figure out which plugin was causing the MysqliDriver::query() error, since its deprecated in 4.

This also means no new members at this time.

I’m about to make an unpopular post — not because it’s cruel, but because it breaks the narratives people cling to. And today, I’m breaking them.

TLDR: Just download Wolf Viewer, come get a free account, and see!

I’m on Wolf Territories now. Before that, I spent years in a certain non‑hypergrid virtual world starting in 2006. I left for over a decade because it was too expensive and too technically demanding. When I returned, I found myself boxed in again — prim limits, permission limits, high costs, and almost no free resources. I limped along.

Then I went to OSCC in Nov 2020. I saw the educators who had already escaped the old world. They had better avatars, better tools, better environments. One of them showed me around, and that was it — I was home.

I’m an educator with 32 years of consulting experience and Fortune‑level clients. That old world once helped me build a business presence that made serious money from 2007–2010. Even with restrictions, we proved what could be done.

But my criteria have always been different from the average hypergrid resident:
- Tech first. Support first.
- Community optional.
- Forward motion mandatory.
- No grid‑owner celebrity cults.
- I am a customer, not a worshipper.

These are my standards. They won’t fit everyone, and that’s fine.
Wolf Territories met them. More than met them. This grid is not just ahead — it’s operating on enterprise infrastructure with boutique pricing. And no, it’s not free. You cannot get 14 servers, dual object storage, and active development for free. You cannot get Fortune‑grade tech leadership for free. You cannot get enterprise internet for free.

And yet, it is STILL affordable. Especially compared to that unnamed world.

Our grid owner isn’t trying to be a clone of the unnamed world. He’s demonstrating real tech capability, just like I used to do for my clients.

And now, in just the last few months, Wolf Territories has rolled out features that fundamentally change what OpenSim can be:
1) Wolf Viewer
A new, security‑focused viewer built for modern infrastructure — not legacy assumptions.

2) Accessibility Tools
Real tools for teaching, learning, and play. Actual accessibility baked into the platform.

3) True Gaming Systems
A built‑in framework for real game mechanics — not hacked scripts or half‑solutions. Actual game development inside OpenSim.

4) Integrated Mixer & Broadcasting
Music, DJing, podcasting — all native. No external tools. No duct tape. Just seamless creation and broadcast.

5) Environmental & Vehicle Systems
- Clouds, water waves, surfing, real system water on a prim, and proper vehicle controls:
* Cars
* Planes
* Submarines
* Ships
* Boats
* Helicopters
Not “sort of works if you’re lucky.” Actual physics. Actual control.

6) Free Inworld Office Space, Inworld Shops, and Streams for residents!
Land owners get these things regardless of plot size.

7) Built‑In Compass
Added because one very directionally challenged individual begged for it. (You’re welcome.)

8) Terrain Painting & Built‑In Weather System + EEP
Region lighting and weather that can match nearly any real‑world location. Snow and rain use particles — not mesh. Snow accumulates on the ground while it’s falling. You can paint your terrain instead of using the texture pallet - which you can still do.

9) AI Integration (Unparalleled)
On‑ground AI that can:
- Write accurate LSL
- Run AI NPCs with spontaneous, natural conversation
- Assist with teaching, roleplay, creativity
- And anything else you think of — Lone will likely build it

10) Extreme Terrain Capability
Mountains up to over 800m high. Depths down to 100m below water.

11) Incredibly generous prim packages
Up to 12M prims….because there are now 1000x1000 VAR regions (and yes, THOSE are EXPENSIVE)

12) Generous complexity for mesh uploads

13) Incredibly high reliability / uptime
Enterprise stability. Not hobby‑grade.

14) Enterprise-level security
- A far more secure viewer
- A control panel for land owners
- OAR uploads on demand and checked for being secure and virus-free
- No requirements for approval of new accounts - because that is not a security issue for this grid

Every day, Lone releases something new — for fun, for education, for creativity.
And that is why I am here.
Not because it is free or nearly free.
Not because it is the cheapest or the most expensive (because it is not).
Not because I’m friends with Lone Wolf… AND I AM.
Not because I am required to volunteer… AND I DO.
I am here because Wolf Territories is affordable, best value, technology‑advanced, and has a great community. Come and download Wolf Viewer, get a free account, and start REALLY LIVING in a virtual world!

I am so excited!! This is going to be so much fun and we can't wait to welcome you to this amazing music experience. You will hear tunes you have never heard before and you won't hear it anywhere else! October 18th 5-7 pm Grid Time.
