Evening folks just a quick update that we've moved the Warehouse to a warehouse-sized-space and will be working on replacing the staircase with a moving platform. Once that's done, visitors will then TP into the station instead of to the island down below. We'll also be starting a new project soon that will turn the main chunk of the valleys into an island, and anything ouside of that will hopefully become visitible by water and boat(something Logan pitched at the last meeting). We've also decided to set up a starter avatar system on account creation so members aren't Ruth or a cloud, however the downside is that nowhere on the grid will avatars be offered, only everything else.

Morning everyone, how're we doing? Every now and then I stop what i'm doing to reflect what's going on around me in terms of OpenSim, the grid, other grids, etc.. It's been nice that my more active members came over from OSGrid but the grid is still missing something. Yeah all 44+ valley regions are here but it doesn't feel like the valleys and I'm not 100% sure why. I'm not sure why I feel there's a void when there probably isn't, or why everything and everyone is disjointed when they probably aren't. Even when the valleys were in OSGrid it felt like something was missing, but not sure what. I could fill the grid with furs, nekos, humans, etc.. and the feeling would be the same.

Hey everyone, update that the space station is now 90% finished, is still visitable and is now situated at 3,005m instead of 4,000m. Currently the station has 13 floors including a freebie store, history center, screening room, library, arcade, club, and offices. Floors 4-12 are currently shut off as there's nothing on them, but floor 13 has my shop on it. The club will eventually require a DJ with a stream, and a PR team but that's not something I know how to handle(I build, run a grid, etc..) so that is open and will close whenever filled.

The library will eventualy be filled with stories, comics, and magazines about space. The arcade will also eventualy be filled with machines, and the screening room will utilize media on a prim but in a way where if anyone wants to watch TV or YouTube they can, but movies and select features be owner only. I may also experiment with setting up rooms people can grab so get the feeling of being in that type of enviroment. That said I believe it's the only station outside of Lani which is more colony.

Anyhow, happy weekend everyone,
Logan

Updated the space station on Dragon Valley so it looks more like space station. Alot of it is still under construction but the ship's store is there, doors work, etc.. Thanks for everyone that stops by, we appreciate it ^_^

Hey everyone, how're we doing? Dragon Valley is now an island that surrounds the welcome center, and there's an option to teleport 4000m in the sky to a space station! The station isn't 100% finished yet, however it's about 80% done. It's been textured, labeled, iris doors everywhere, teleporters, etc... Also reporting that a total of 18 people have signed up for membership for the valleys, have had 40+ visitors the past 30 days, and pushing 57 regions on a single ten-core server running Diva Distro v0.9.0 with no issue or lag. I find stats to be important especially in our case where we've only been up for a couple of weeks and we're gaining attention(I feel warm and fuzzy inside for some reason now). Anyhow, pictures will be following shortly.

Morning everyone, as of this moment the Fur Valleys are officially on it's own grid! We're running Diva Distro 0.9 on a single ten-core server and we've brought a total of 63 regions online. With this we also have a new pricing model to introduce to folks:

Full regions are still $10/mo however instead of a 45,000 prim cap, I've capped them at 60,000 prims now.
Half regions are now $5/mo for 30,000 prims
1/4 regions are now $2/mo for 15,000 prims
1/4 regions are also FREE for 5,000 prims


We're welcoming to every walk of life and a perfect solution if you run a club, farm, business, etc... and I'd wager that $10/mo for 60,000 prims is still the best deal for land in all of Opensim and Second Life. Interested? Take a walk over to our website at http://furvalleysos.tk sigh up, log in, and join the community!

NOTE: The signup form's a bit iffy at the moment(when you click submit, the form doesn't do anything but the account has been created so click it once, then go log in). Name is Avatar First and Last name. Nickname is for the website. Ignore the bottom fields as they'll be removed at some point(sent a ticket about it) and certain web account features will be prettied-up but yeah i'm excited to be in control of a grid and double excited to see what 2019 has in store for the valleys as a grid.
