You set my HG address wrong, and then banned me for it???
You added secondlife: as a prefix, to all of my HG links, then when no one can access my region (because I'm NOT in Second Life), you ban me for incorrect address and refuse to reply to my support requests??? WTF? Please help me get this set up correctly!
I want to clarify something there is someone going around spreading rumors about Club Equinox closing down~! Let me set the record straight! Club Equinox was started 3 years ago on the Kinky Grid by me and my Sister Chynna those that been to the old Equinox know her! There were not that many clubs around then and alot of them that were are gone today. We work hard to make Equinox a drama free no issues place to come party and anyone who ever came knows that we are a fun place to party! Xaria is and has always been a great partner in the club, We have seen a decline in people coming but we will be here for a very long time in the future we have many plans and improvements ! WE HAVE NO PLANS TO CLOSE~!~~~ so with that i want to stop the rumor mill that people have started about Xaria and Me many times before if anyone wants to find out whats going on your all more than happy to ask me or Xaria we be more than happy to tell you!
To Whom Reads This Passage
I don't care how others see myself after this but folks need a bucket of truth. I'm a fur, we stopped caring what others thought about us after the media started taking pot-shots at our community, so let's begin.
1. Open Simulator uses code from Linden Labs' software. This fact alone makes OpenSim a copybot of itself. How? By continual development using core OpenSim. It would require a major rewrite to fix this.
2. 90% of active Opensim users are using botted items anyway. It's the only way to get content away from Second Life for places like OpenSim to thrive.
3. Grids have the right to block whomever they want to. Whining about it doesn't magically reverse it.
4. There are clauses in OpenSim to deter would-be copyrighters. Don't want to deal with it? Shut down your grid, and go away or don't complain. You knew this was a possibility when becoming a grid owner.
5. True major violators are delt with. Kitely has a giant issue with this still.
6. Visitors need to know that not ever location on OSW is ran on some corporate super computer 24hrs a day. Most are on personal computers being ran on sub-par internet. Just like #3, whining about it doesn't magically fix it.
7. The only true OpenSim grid that will remain when the others have left will be OsGrid. Is it a ghost town 90% of the time? Yeah it is but when the OsGrid fundraiser comes around, it's always filled.
8. OpenSimWorld and SatyrFarm are projects from one person done in spare time. Whining about it doesn't make him appear from thin air and fix whatever issue you're having.
9. The Swiss stating what their laws on copyright is makes them transparent, not troublesome. Only an idiot sees it that way. The Swiss was also home to The Pirate Bay - US Copyright laws do not and will not exist there, nor are they enforced. Even Trump won't mess with the Swiss.
10. Any grid owner who uses the God mode function to force object ownership to themselves is using their executive powers that have been a staple of OpenSim/Second Live since 2005. Second Life viewer 1.0 had this function for admins to do this very thing if residents became unruly.
11. Visitors need to realize that servers and internet aren't for free - grids and standalone regions need that to cover their cost or we find ourselves whining about why such and such place or grid isn't around anymore. It's because of whiny children who feel entitled to everything, even if their in their 40s. This very argument is why minimum wage and cost of living in the US went up.
12. Giving something away that costs people money isn't a violation no matter how you look at it or there'd be more people in jail(starting with the new head of the FCC/AT&T kiss ass).
There, now that I've thoroughly covered everything and offended everyone it had to be said. Those that wonder why OpenSim hasn't evolved only need to look in the mirror. We are the ones slowly killing OpenSim from the inside out. We are the ones pushing newcomers away with our he said/she said bullshit and of our screams of what's deemed right and wrong. Second Life is still here. Why? Because they control stuff like this from getting out of hand(and we passed that threshold yesterday) and don't act like children while doing it. Why is OsGrid still here while other major grids failed? Same reason. InWorldz went under because of how its residents acted, not Beth, not Tranquility.
To be honest I don't care if I've offended anyone with the truth. It sucks - get over it. Boredom is not a valid excuse for stupidity(I'm going to use that as a tag line now I think). We should be thinking about what the next big thing should be for OpenSim, then embrace it. No police it to death where no one wants it. If these aren't your ideals then just shut your computer off, disconnect your internet, and go play outside.

Drama Comes to OSW
What would life be without drama?. We all love a good dramatic performance, and even reward good dramatists with Oscars. Being good lovers of drama ourselves in opensimworld, we decided to introduce two new Dramatic features to the website:
1. We are introducing the new Drama group. This zone is especially reserved for outbursts of emotion, adrenaline explosions, and generally high drama. We will be moving here any public threads that we feel are worthy of an Oscar from now on. Who knows, maybe we ll have an actual awards ceremony in the end.
2. We will be removing comments from Dramatic users from the frontpage. Those selected users will still be able to create comments and everything, but those won't appear in the frontpage. If a dramatic user feels that they no longer want to be dramatic, they have to contact us using the contact link
We hope you enjoy our new dramatic improvements, and we wish happy drama to everyone. And if you don't enjoy them, feel free to respond with an outburst of drama.
Cheers

Mein Umzug von OSGrid zu NeverworldGrid ✨😉
In den nächsten Tagen schreibe ich auf Discord ein bisschen über meinen Umzug von OSGrid zu NeverworldGrid – also über Erfahrungen, Anleitung und die kleinen bis mittelgroßen Stolpersteine, über die man natürlich rein zufällig trotzdem erst einmal selbst stolpert. 😄
Das Ganze ist vor allem für alle interessant, die selbst eine Region hosten möchten. Mit dabei: meine treue FRITZ!Box, die ganz tapfer den täglichen Wechsel meiner öffentlichen IPv4 managed – was ungefähr so entspannt ist, wie es klingt… also nur mit Humor und Kaffee. ☕✨
Die richtig gute Nachricht: Meine .OAR und meine .IAR wurden perfekt importiert. Und nicht nur das – ich war ehrlich gesagt völlig baff, wie unfassbar schnell das alles ging. Mein Avatar, die .OAR und auch die .IAR waren in einem Tempo importiert, bei dem ich kurz dachte, ich hätte aus Versehen den Turbomodus angeklickt. 🚀
Gerade weil das mein erster Umzug war – und dazu auch noch mein erstes .IAR überhaupt – hätte ich eher mit elegantem Chaos gerechnet. Stattdessen: erstaunlich viel Erfolg, ein bisschen Nervenkitzel und nur an den richtigen Stellen leichtes Herzklopfen. 😉
Natürlich gibt es trotzdem einiges zu beachten, und genau darüber möchte ich berichten – damit andere vielleicht nicht jede meiner kleinen „Learning by Doing mit Glitzer“-Erkenntnisse selbst nachturnen müssen. ✨
Ein ganz großes Dankeschön geht an den super lieben Support, an die hilfreichen Mitbewohner auf Discord und nicht zuletzt an meine Freundin, ohne die ich an der einen oder anderen Stelle vermutlich noch mit hochgezogener Augenbraue vor irgendeiner Konsole sitzen würde. 😄💖
Kurz gesagt:
Erster Umzug. Erstes .IAR. Viel gelernt. Viel Tempo. Viel Hilfe. Und ja – ein kleines bisschen stolz bin ich schon. ✨😉
✨ From OSGrid to NeverworldGrid – My First Big Move! 🚀💖
Well… I did it! My very first grid move, my very first .IAR, and surprisingly, I still have most of my hair! 😂✨
Over the next few days, I'll be sharing my experiences moving from OSGrid to NeverworldGrid on Discord – including a step-by-step guide, useful tips, and all those lovely little pitfalls that apparently exist just to make life more entertaining. 😉
This might be especially interesting for anyone planning to self-host their own OpenSim region.
One of the stars of this adventure was my trusty FRITZ!Box, happily dealing with my daily changing public IPv4 address. Because obviously, having a stable IP would have made things far too easy! 😂☕
And now for the REALLY exciting part…
My .OAR and .IAR were imported perfectly! 🎉
The speed was absolutely unbelievable! My avatar loaded incredibly fast, and both my .OAR and .IAR imports were so amazingly quick that I almost wondered whether someone had secretly installed a rocket engine somewhere! 🚀✨
Coming from OSGrid, I honestly couldn't believe my eyes!
Of course, there are quite a few things you need to know before attempting this adventure. And trust me, I discovered some of them the traditional way: by doing them wrong first! 😇
But that's exactly why I want to share everything I've learned – hopefully saving someone else a few hours of head-scratching, coffee drinking, and whispering sweet little threats to their computer. 😂
A HUGE thank you to the incredibly kind and patient Neverworld support team, the wonderful and helpful residents on Discord, and, last but definitely not least, my amazing friend, who helped me through this whole adventure. 💖
Without all of you, I'd probably still be staring at a console window, wondering why the universe hates special characters in passwords! 🤣
So, here we are…
First grid move. First .IAR. A few technical adventures. Lots of wonderful people. An incredible new home. And one very happy Mary! 💕
Stay tuned – the guide is coming soon on Discord!
Kisses, hugs & a little pixel dust! ✨💋
Mary 💖

Lets wind down from all the partying and roller coaster rides and experience how peaceful a walk in the park with the latest Horse script (now at release 3.3.0081 for UBOde) really is.
Riding the horse as a vehicle is the very best horse(back) riding experience to date. No more gliding off hills. Physically jumping is fun too.
Start your trip at EAS at the East side of Neiferleaf and walk the trail via Nestir where you can excercise physical jumping and barrel racing, the walk via the Northorn region towards Neiferleaf's castle, but beware of dragons and ghost riders.
Start your trip at hop://grid.vibel.eu:8002/Eas/328/458/34 and enjoy the ride.

Du bist gegangen,
leise, in meinen Armen,
während mein Herz noch
nach deinem Atem suchte.
Ich hielt dich bis zum letzten Augenblick,
blieb bei dir, als dein Weg zu Ende ging,
und wünschte mir so sehr,
die Zeit würde noch einmal stillstehen.
Du hinterlässt eine Stille,
die niemand füllen kann,
ein Loch in meinem Herzen,
so groß wie unsere Liebe.
Und doch bist du überall,
in jedem Gedanken,
in jeder Erinnerung,
in jedem Lied, das leise in mir klingt.
Unsere Liebe endet nicht mit dem Tod,
sie lebt in allem, was wir waren,
in jedem Lächeln, jeder Träne,
in den Spuren unserer gemeinsamen Zeit.
Ich werde dich vermissen,
heute, morgen und an jedem neuen Tag.
Und wenn ich dich auch nicht mehr halten kann,
so werde ich dich doch niemals loslassen.
Für immer dein.
Für immer mein.
Für immer wir.

🎃 WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT IS OPEN! 🎃
It’s Halloween time! Tired of all the TRICKS this year? Fred thought it was time for a little TREAT!
How about 594 minutes — that’s 9.9 HOURS — of motion-capture animations?
Wednesday at Midnight is officially OPEN! While you’re exploring and hunting for Halloween gifts, there is something extra waiting for those clever enough to find it. CAN YOU FIND THE SECRET ANIMATION LOCATION?
Hidden somewhere inside Wednesday at Midnight is a special collection containing numerous animations prepared by Fred Beckhusen of Outworldz.
The original motion-capture data comes from the Carnegie Mellon University Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database. Fred converted the motion data into animations that can be used by OpenSim avatars.
And there’s more new DreamGrid technology behind this year’s hunt!
The Wednesday at Midnight hunt gifts were created and uploaded using Fred’s new DAE/GLTF/FBX Uploader in DreamGrid.
Want to learn how to use the DAE/GLTF/FBX Uploader yourself? Visit Outworldz and look in the right-hand column for Fred’s latest DreamGrid articles and documentation. https://outworldz.com/home.htm THE ANIMATIONS ARE FREE — PLEASE RESPECT THE LICENSE

Now come explore Wednesday at Midnight, hunt down the Halloween gifts, visit our rather unusual neighbors... and see if you can discover the secret location containing 9.9 HOURS of animations! Look for the "Thing" Candlesticks~
Happy Haunting! 👻🎃 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Wednesday at Midnight Huge Hug and Thank you to FRED~ He spent numerous hours to make this happen for all of us!

(no AI). So some of you are aware we have been working on hyper regions at Wolf. We have a 200x200 region (40,000 SL regions in size), we have loaded the terrain of my beloved Ireland on it (with some mods for the rivers). Note you will need WolfViewer or use WolfStorm to visit it - the region is called Wolf Nation. I'm not sure where we will go from here with it https://wolf-grid.com.
Warning FIRESTORM will crash if you try and visit this region with it.

And no hassles either. Just browse, select the mesh and click go. In a few sconds it's in, textured and ready to use.
There is a previewer to check what it will look like. It brings in all PBR materials in a GLTF and textures in a DAE.

Celestial Vine Arm Cuff
Inspired by moonlit gardens and flowing vines, this upper arm cuff is designed to add a touch of elegance to fantasy, historical, and everyday avatars alike. The intricate scrollwork and natural iridescence make it equally at home with an evening gown, an elven ensemble, or an Egyptian-inspired look.

Estate / Region management interface showing a few regions and then a region popped up for management (clearly not many options yet!!)
From here it will be possible to restart a region. Depending on your configuration of simulators this will either restart or shutdown - if its set to shutdown you need something else to start your region back up (monit is a good option).
Also OARs will be downloadable and uploadable from here. Due to the risks of operations like OAR backups / restores they will be configuable by constants on the config.php with at least restores disabled by default.
Still deciding what other tools to build in here.
There will also be some estate wide tools but that's not been started at all.
Map tiles are cached and not updated unless you request new ones. As they are calculated based on region size and downloaded in 256x256 chunks and stitched together getting them fresh each time is "expensive" especially on regions like the 4096x4096 I tested - thats a lot of chunks!

I'm currently developing a new OpenSim "Front End" - as I've not had much success with others. When its "done" it will be freely available for others to use if they like.
It will feature:
* account creation (automatic or admin approved)
* avatar selection on account creation
* change your grid password
* profile page showing profile pic and about - and also picks (both currently working)
* offline messages (currently working)
* friends list - also showing online status (with a caveat that presense is bad in opensim)
* partnering (send a partner request to another grid member who can accept in the web interfface, and also disilve.
* admin interface where admins can approve new members or suspend existing users
* restart regions if you are estate owner, manager, or grid admin with a high user level
* shutdown or start regions as above permissions
* take oars of regions as above permissions
* restore oars of regions as above permissions
And any other items I add. Currently the system allows you to log in with your grid account and see your profile and offlines. Other things will be added over the next days.
The system is php based - and will have a few php module requirements. Direct database access is used for GETTING some data (currently it only supports MariaDB - and "probably" MySQL) - but no writes will ever be made directly to the database - any WRITES will be by api calls through Robust / Simulator calls.

Tromsø Expo Center presents The Provocative Work of Dorena Verne
Saturday, May 9, 2026
11 am grid time / 8 pm Berlin time
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:TROMSO
Dorena Verne’s ongoing portrait series is an exploration of identity as lived practice.
Through the disciplined, iterative rendering of a single figure—her imagined and rightful self—Verne examines the intertwined dynamics of gender, power, and visibility. The work’s provocation lies not in spectacle, but in its unwavering assertion of personhood within a cultural landscape that continues to contest it. Each image reflects a synthesis of technical mastery and autobiographical inquiry, revealing a visual language shaped by resilience, clarity, and intention.
This exhibition presents a body of work grounded in craft and conviction, inviting viewers to engage with an artist who transforms self‑representation into a form of truth‑telling.
Champagne, hors d'oeuvres, and gourmet coffee to be catered by the Chronic Cat Cafe and the Pot Pie Bakery. There is no dress code, however, we all love an opportunity to dress up! One rule: You can wear pearls, but no *clutching* of them. 😎 Curated music brought to you by Xenon Darrow - in the genres of chill, triphop, and classics.
This is an exciting and explosive start to the mission of the Expo Center - to provide a space for expression and demonstration of the craft and creativity of our virtual world denizens throughout the world and the hypergrid.

Heute Morgen, Fragestunde mit Dorena_AI..
[22:21] Dorena1 Verne: Darf Kunst politische Motive haben?
[22:21] Dorena die Weise: Ja, Kunst darf politische Motive haben – und sie hatte sie in der Geschichte immer wieder.
**Begründung:**
1. **Freiheit der Kunst:**
In modernen Demokratien gilt die Kunstfreiheit als wesentliches Grundrecht (z.B. in Deutschland Artikel 5, Absatz 3 GG). Das bedeutet, Künstler*innen dürfen sich ausdrücken, wie sie möchten – auch politisch.
2. **Geschichtlicher Kontext:**
Schon immer hat Kunst gesellschaftliche und politische Themen aufgegriffen. Denken wir an Banksys Graffiti, Bertolt Brechts Theaterstücke oder Francisco Goyas „Desastres de la Guerra“. Kunst war oft Vehikel für Kritik, Protest oder Visionen des Wandels.
3. **Funktion von Kunst:**
Kunst regt zum Nachdenken an, fordert Diskussionen heraus, hinterfragt Macht und Normen. Sie erlaubt es, schwierige Themen auf emotionale und kreative Art zu vermitteln.
4. **Keine Pflicht, aber Möglichkeit:**
Kunst muss nicht politisch sein – sie kann es aber. Die Offenheit, auch politisch Stellung zu beziehen, ist Teil ihres Wesens.
Die Frage warum aufgrund scheinbarer Neutralität ein Grid meine Werke ablehnt, habe ich mir verkniffen, die Antwort kenne ich selber...

This morning, Q&A with Dorena_AI...
[10:21 PM] Dorena1 Verne: Is art allowed to have political motives?
[10:21 PM] Dorena the Wise: Yes, art is allowed to have political motives – and it has had them throughout history.
**Justification:**
1. **Freedom of Art:**
In modern democracies, freedom of art is considered a fundamental right (e.g., in Germany, Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law). This means that artists are free to express themselves as they wish – including politically.
2. **Historical Context:**
Art has always addressed social and political issues. Think of Banksy's graffiti, Bertolt Brecht's plays, or Francisco Goya's "Disasters of War." Art has often been a vehicle for criticism, protest, or visions of change.
3. **Function of Art:**
Art stimulates thought, provokes discussion, and questions power and norms. It allows difficult topics to be conveyed in an emotional and creative way.
4. **Not an Obligation, but an Option:**
Art doesn't have to be political—but it can be. The openness to taking a political stance is part of its very nature.
I refrained from asking why a grid rejected my work due to its apparent neutrality; I already know the answer...
