NewLifeItaly is moving to HEXIVIA VOICE, our own voice system designed and developed in-house by HEXIVIA for OpenSimulator.

Built on the open WebRTC and Opus standards, it integrates directly with the native voice features of WebRTC-compatible Firestorm OpenSim versions, without requiring modified viewers or additional software.

HEXIVIA VOICE provides 48 kHz audio, a dedicated stereo mix for each listener, and spatial audio: voices change direction and volume according to the avatars’ positions and distance. It also includes speaking indicators, individual mute and volume controls, and separate conversations across parcels.

The backend is written in Go, with a C# connector for OpenSimulator. The voice infrastructure runs on our own servers, independently of Vivox.

With respect for the work of every developer in the community, I would also like to clarify that HEXIVIA VOICE follows its own independent design and development path. It is not derived from other community voice projects and does not reuse their code or design solutions. It uses established open standards, with an architecture and integration developed by HEXIVIA.

NewLifeItaly’s voice now has a name: HEXIVIA VOICE.

Ignis Fatuus is currently undergoing maintenance for an OpenSim version update and a change to the voice system. We are doing our best to ensure this interruption lasts as short a time as possible.

Ignis Fatuus est actuellement en maintenance pour changement de version OpenSim et changement de voice. Nous faisons notre possible pour que cette interruption dure le moins longtemps possible.

Today is HG Safari, with your hosts, Forest Azure and Jojo Apple! Safari begins at noon! Meet us at the HG Safari Clubhouse where you will get any last minute changes to our itinerary.

grid.hgsafari.org:58002:HG Safari

DESTINATION 1 Forest Azure invites us to visit her new home on Neverworld Grid. It's a hunt and a maze! First, find all the places in Forest's giant treehouse build, then try your hand at the Maze where you'll experience an original re-telling of the Cinderella story!

DESTINATION 2 We explore the relaxing resort of Mermaid's Cove on the new grid, Harmony's Haven, by Harmony aka Jojo Apple. You'll tour the underwater world of Mermaids and other sea creatures, enjoy the Harmony Haven Grid Fair and listen or dance to music by DJ Lavia Lavine!

Hope to see you all there!

The GRUGS took a VACATION. The odor of TRIBUTE is a little unsettling to them so the ARENA is safe... well NOT REALLY; the Chaos Engine is working overtime to SQUEEZE every ounce of CHEER out of you before you take that relaxing horseback ride through the countryside! To find these abominations TOUCH the "RAD ZONE" barge in the waterway outside of the Embassy. We would say have fun but that is not 100% truthful is it?

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!

How we deal with 1000 metre mountains and some new WolfViewer / WolfStorm Features. Including 10 levels of terrain textures including being able to define textures for cliffs.

Hi everyone. I have had a few people ask if we will upload IAR files to Wolf Territories from OSGRID. Unfortunately we have to protect the security of the grid so we will not be doing that at this time. However I'm pleased to say that region owners can upload OAR files, although we have a scanner that pre-scans OAR's. We are running a custom version of OpenSim called WolfSim that has many built in protections, including running on dotnet 10 rather than 8 like many grids, properly locked down servers running our WolfStack infrastructure software (https://wolfstack.org) etc. Plus users benefiting from our Viewers get added security,

We have removed some quite severe security vulnerabilities in Firestorm in our WolfViewer viewer that can run on any grid, but Wolf users get a lot of extra features. I wish everyone all the best with what is going on but that's where Wolf Territories is at the moment. Please PM me if you have any questions Lone Wolf in world, on discord or on this platform.

Every Tuesday — come roll with us!

All of us at My Virtual beach are devastated of the news of OS Grid. I wish there was something I/we could do.

I cant believe after all these years one person could trash a whole grid like that.

When I first came to opensim OS grid was the first place i got stuff for my suitcase (inventory) I have met a lot of friends in OS Grid over the years. The time i have spent in LBSA PLaza will always be cherished and missed. OS Grid was my first for a lot of things.

I have learned so much for a lot of people in OS Grid.

Hugs to all affected by the shutdown. Where you may end up, you all know where to find me to keep in touch. I hope someone saves LBZA Plaza, i enjoy hanging out there. it was the central hub for all grids.

Hi Starchild Shoppers!
Looks like there was an issue preventing people from rezzing assets in their own grids after purchasing them. It should be patched now!

SOLIDO Gianni Men’s Flannel Shirt

Sleeves rolled. Style sorted.

Classic plaid with an urban edge, detailed PBR textures, and a tucked-in cut that pairs easily with jeans or casual pants.

Four colors: Mid Brown, Green, Grey, and Rust & Navy.

Made for Signature Gianni. The tucked-in style can also work with other bodies—try it for your fit.

Free at the Neverworld Marketplace.

Still alive and around , I am no longer with Neverworld grid alot of my sims that I created or jointlly created are still there . I have moved to VWZ grid taking a break from malls and big building projects though I am halping out with the Mosaic Music project. Mosaic is all about bringing people together through music design and giving people fun places to hear different styles of music. We work with other grids also to help bring a little light and love to open sim , Sharing our skills in little ways is caring.

I have modified the fertility/pregnancy system to ensure it is fully functional and ready for use.
I added a clinic setup featuring equipment such as an examination bed and a monitor to check the fetus's condition.
Additionally, I included a visual HUD element that displays key information—such as your current status (pregnant or not), your menstrual cycle stage, and the father's name (if pregnant).
=============================================
The system is still in the testing phase and has not been released yet. ^^

If you have any suggestions or ideas, please leave them in the comments. Thank you

Running a grid is more than throwing around some dirt and rocks! It's ensuring that residents have a safe place to create, lag-free, thousands of kilometers of roads and water, free land to live their dreams, free store space, a free marketplace, thousands of original content items, friendly and helpful admins, and stability. With so much DRAMA! And anyone who says it cannot be done, has not been running Neverworld for the past 11 years of stability, respect and friendship.
