Tide is out at Madrigal, this region uses the grid's tidal facility to make the water rise and fall
I am reading comments on paid content and various markets in OpenSimulator. I would like to share my thoughts and ask you to correct me if I'm wrong and shed some light on the topic.
In my opinion, Kitely has the best system both as a market and a control system. After working with it for a while, they have managed to achieve a significant result. Creators can set content that they don't want to be forced into permissions as non-exportable to other OpenSim grids, thus protecting it from the infamous GOD mode that users across all grids now have. On the other hand, those who want to make their content exportable risk selling fewer copies since it may be forced and potentially distributed everywhere.
I find it very challenging for original OpenSim creators to sell products and come close to the earnings of Second Life. For instance, even if I sell a product as no-transfer, if it ends up in the grid of a user with GOD powers, it will certainly be unlocked. Unlocking content has become an instinctive practice for many users.
It's a different story for those who create original products and release them for free. Even if unlocked, they will not suffer excessive damage (I hope), and people will be more inclined to respect permissions (I hope) and invite others to get their copy directly from the original creator without forcing and redistributing it as a favor for various friends on other grids (doing it discreetly), which can happen with paid products.
I honestly don't believe this problem will be resolved as long as GOD mode is accessible to everyone. Some grids have denied GOD mode to enforce respect for original creators' content, but these are not popular among users who can get everything they want with GOD mode. They prefer, at the same cost, to obtain regions even in poorly performing grids that allow them to do anything.
Another problem is the backup copies of regions. There have been grids that did not allow the default backup of objects without sufficient permissions, but these grids had no luck or popularity. Meanwhile, those who do not apply such restrictions obviously have more success. Even reloading the OAR on a new grid, the original creator could be permanently lost, creating confusion about who the original creator of the product is and whether the object has been purchased or not.
Therefore, honestly, I think selling on more or less renowned grids is limited to one, two, or ten sales, the time it takes for the product to be unlocked, given away, or loaded into other grids via OAR. All of this, except for Kitely, which has an exceptional system for controlling the "products" leaving its platform, a system that they don't publicly share from what I understand.

Being that I own Wolf Territories Grid which is HUGE I have 4 home regions, but this is my favorite of my home places. It's really simple, lots of boats, nice sunsets and a cafe.
See here we go again! I'm all bored and stuff so I build stuff! :D Anyway, this is a cute little "plain jane" type Bistro set, brass, glass and tufted purple leather seats complete with AVsitter. It is free and full perm so have fun with it. You can find it at our Star Jinn Palisade Mall in the Masala Al Kohav region of the Genesis Roleplay Grid. It's waiting for you in Lavia's Little Corner. Enjoy!! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Downtown BLUEZ Bar. Full of atmosphere and reminiscent of the Blues where the best of the best guitar and jazz performers perform amongst their fans. Whiskey, beer and smoked filled the room and motor bikes take pride of place outside on the sidewalk.
Be sure to visit China Town, plenty of gifts to be found in the Asian market place. Dancing Geisha girls and an amazing Buddha that shines light over the sim. Meditation room so much to see and do at OMG
Our newest addition to the Star Jinn Palisade is my mixed prim and mesh Victorian Home. It features a wrap around porch, full basement, beautiful kitchen space with spindle shelves and a small breakfast counter and an arched doorway that leads to the dining space as well as a very open living room. Spiral stairs accent the small towered portion that is adorned with stained glass windows. Upstairs there is a Master bedroom with doors to a 2nd floor balcony, and there is a 2nd bedroom and bathroom. Walnut flooring and Victorian era wallpaper. And the Lattice work is 3D mesh; It's a little prim heavy but for the detail and beauty it can give to your sim, it's worth it. Blessings and much love, Lavia
...come explore.
This Grid has followed suit with other grids in banning Darkheartsos grid from accessing Trianon-World. Im sure the reasoning behind it will be clear to some of you who run adult grids, it's over run with children and adults who abuse them. Over the past few months, I have banned some adults based on profile pictures and wording. I'm not saying everyone from there was bad, but I don't want them on my grid. If you are from there and wish to dispute your access being denied, write to me here in private and plead your case

Welcome at our 11 cities skating tour !
In the Netherlands is a tradition in winter, when there is a long cold freezing period . They have the " eleven cities tour" ( Elfstedentocht) , a 200 km skating route that leads to eleven cities in the northern part of the Netherlands. It's very popular and the Dutch see it as an honor when you are able to skate the whole route in one day and get the " Friesche elfstedentocht " trophy as a reward.
We made a wonderful skating route for you with eleven checkpoints named to all the cities. When you find them all, you will earn the famous " eleven city tour cross "a trophy that is famous for all skaters all over the world ! The stamps , given to you at every checkpoint are the original stamps used in the tour in RL. Collectors items!
* Found all the stamps? Make a notecard , drag your stamp textures on it and sent it to Trouble Ahead.
Yay, when sending your full stamp notecard , you finished the tour and the famous "Elfstedenkruisje" ( trophy) will be sent to you, with some themed presents as well.
When you explore the place, you can find a Christmas market.
Find us in Kitely s main website " Catronian Archipelago" and use the teleporter near the landing point.

Long 100% original, legal mesh rigged braids. They come with the usual colour hud (Thank you, Susan von Otto!) but you can of course put any texture you'd like on them. Straight to the point, classic enough to go on modern contemporary outfits or some historical things. The braids, as you can see, do a very cool looking colour mixing thing if you have different streaks in. In the new year I may add compatibility for Susan's original two texture face version. I just haven't decided yet whether to make it "two colours, one for each braid split down the middle part" or "different streaks totally separate mixed together" or both.
Have fun, don't sell or put on SL or take all the credit for it.

More hair. This is non rigged because it's short enough to not need rigging...messy double buns with loose strands on the side. It has Suzan Von Otto's very generous hud, but for one face texture only to keep this style simple. 100% legal, original and not pirated mesh. Don't sell, don't put on SL, don't run around telling folks these are your creations.

The train station has been temporarily closed, tourists have been getting in a muddle on boarding the train teleporters and sometimes without tickets, what can I say! (whispers, some of it is cultural). I have made a direct teleport to the North Pole for this weekend. You might like to bring the following, your skating ao, and add some dark sunglasses at home (rl) if you don't intend to switch to a midnight environment setting. The angel in the picture is easily found and you can get a nice copy of her by clicking her when you find her. I goes without saying, bring a coat and get a pat on the head before you travel.
