⚓ **Free for everyone: check your IAR for junk before you move it**

If you're leaving OSgrid or moving inventory between grids, some inventories were stuffed with tens of thousands of machine-made junk folders and items, with names like "Boots_872Silver_948Shoes". Carry that over and it fills up your new grid too, and some grids won't accept IARs that contain it.

**NWG Customs & Border Gate**, a gift from NeverWorld Grid to the whole Hypergrid:
🔗 https://customs.gridxchange.co

• Drop in your IAR and see what's flagged as junk
• Review it, untick anything you want to keep, and save a cleaned copy
• **Your file never leaves your computer.** Everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded
• Free, no account, no sign-up

Tip: for big IARs (several GB), Chrome or Edge on a computer works best.

Always look over what's flagged before saving. It's good at spotting junk, but you know your inventory best.

Ich sitze hier und schreibe,
doch meine Worte finden dich nicht mehr.
Die Tränen fallen leise,
und mein Herz ist unendlich schwer.

So schicke ich dir kleine Herzen,
hinauf ins unbekannte Licht.
Vielleicht kannst du sie sehen,
denn meine Liebe stirbt mit dir nicht.

Und manchmal glaube ich zu spüren,
du bist noch immer nah bei mir.
Dann flüstere ich in die Stille:
**„Ich liebe dich. Ich vermisse dich.“**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sit alone and write these words,
but they can no longer reach your heart.
My tears fall softly in the silence,
in a world where we're apart.

I send you little hearts of love,
up into the unknown light.
Perhaps somehow you'll see them,
still glowing through the night.

And sometimes I can almost feel
your gentle presence drawing near.
Then softly I whisper to the silence:
**“I love you. I wish you were here.”**

The move to the new grid will begin over the weekend (October 24/25). If everything goes according to plan, you are all cordially invited to visit the new grid—which will still feature the familiar Gummybear Island—starting Monday, October 26.
If you would like to join the new group ahead of time, you can do so here.
hop://hg.stadt-nexverse.de:80/Freiburg%20Sued/159/193/22

Am Wochenende (24/25.10.) wird der Umzug ins neue Grid starten. Wenn alles gut läuft, seit ihr alle ab Montag den 26.10. herzlich eingeladen im neuen Grid, aber dem alte bekannten Gummybear Island vorbei zu schauen.
Wer vorher schon in die neue Gruppe möchte, kann sich diese hier holen.

We are looking forward to seeing you all here :)

24 hours support 7 days per week? no, that would be impossible, we need to sleep as well :-) . However we are pleasantly crazy, and have friendly and helpfull grid owners and co-tennants. We have a double backup system for just in case, but so far we are stable and lag free.
Regions of 5x5 always, if you think it is too big, we can lower land for you, so you have water around your land. Lots is possible with a 5x5 region.

You are welcome to join us, also when you do not want to rent land and just have an avatar on ansjelagrid.com

Looking forward to meet you :)

Und wieder das alte Leiden. Da geht man online und sieht aus wie aus der Hölle raus geworfen. Mehrfach die letzten Tage angeschrieben, keine Reaktion. Heute gleich nochmals und dieses mal ein Bild Inworld gemacht , nicht das es heißt ich hätte nicht geschrieben. Die gleiche Nachricht per Mail gesendet, es wird wohl nichts passieren.
Schön wenn hier User berichten das der Umzug gut verlief, ich bin am Verzweifeln und am Boden zerstört.

And here we go again—the same old misery. You log on, and it’s like you’ve been spat out of hell. I’ve reached out several times over the last few days, but there’s been no response. I tried again today—and this time, I even took an in-world screenshot, just so no one can claim I never sent a message. I also sent the same note via email, though I doubt anything will come of it.
It’s great for other users that their migration went smoothly, but as for me—I’m in despair and completely devastated.

Ich verstehe auch nicht wieso hier berichtet wird das das gesamte Inventar mit umgezogen ist von OS Grid nach Neverworld. Laut Aussage von Masala muss dieses einer Überprüfung unterzogen werden ansonsten zieht nur das Land mit um. Werden da nun auch Unterschiede bei den Usern gemacht ? Alles sehr komisch. Ich freue mich echt das es User gibt die es hinter sich haben und das da alles geklappt hat. Aber was mich angeht bin ich da sehr skeptisch. So wie sich die ganze Sache jetzt schon gestaltet wird es wohl noch im Desaster enden.

I also don’t understand why it’s being reported here that the entire inventory was moved over from OS Grid to Neverworld. According to Masala, the inventory has to undergo a review process; otherwise, only the land gets transferred. Are they making distinctions between different users, then? It’s all very strange. I’m genuinely happy for the users who have already gone through the process and for whom everything worked out, but as far as I’m concerned, I remain very skeptical. The way things are shaping up right now, this is likely to end in a disaster.

Escape 2 Realitys Halloween 3 amazing levels of halloween scares n spooks sim is up and has over a dozen new items to bring you a more frightning and spooktacular season ,new props and jump scares await you!!! new gifts were added to the end of the maze remember the maze starts at the farm house and there is only one way to escape the maze can you make it out or end up imprisoned in hell forever hahahhah ??hope ya enjoy and we will see you soon that is if ya make it out !!!lol

Making AI images is fun, but at what cost?

We’ve all seen the funny, beautiful, and creative pictures generated by AI. But have you ever stopped to think about the environmental cost of creating them? I see them on this website daily! I have made hundreds of Ai images!

But, did you know? Every AI-generated image requires computing power. That means electricity, water to help cool data centers, and powerful computer equipment that requires mining and manufacturing.

And every time we ask AI to create a picture, fix a mistake, or generate another version, we use even more resources.

One image may not seem like much, but multiply that by millions of people generating millions of images every day.

More energy consumption. More water demand. More carbon emissions. More electronic waste.

We talk about protecting our planet, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources. Yet we're embracing a technology without always considering its environmental footprint.

I'm not saying AI doesn't have valuable uses. It absolutely does. But do we really need to generate endless pictures just because we can?

Making AI images is fun. But is the environmental cost worth it?

Something to think about before clicking "generate" again.
