I’ve started making my own music mixes to burn onto 80-minute CDs for my ancient-but-beloved kitchen CD player. 😄

I pick songs I can dance to while cleaning the kitchen — because apparently, I need a proper soundtrack to get those dishes done. And honestly, it works! The more I dance, the more motivated I get. 💃🕺

And there’s another side effect: my cooking seems to be getting better and better. So clearly, dancing is part of the recipe. 😂

Now I’m making these mixes for my parties, too. Which means you have absolutely no excuse: I expect you to get up and DANCE in front of your computer! 💃🎶🔥

No sitting there politely listening. I’ll know. 😉

(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.

Hello all, today in the Neverworld grid: we will sail a battle today at Noon 12.00 PM. When you travel to the Catronian Archipelago sims : you will see a landmark giver at the docks ( Stormrunner Sea Battle ) so you can get a TP to the battle seas. Or join our group ! See the website : https://catronian.jouwweb.nl/ All welcome !

After a lot of work and testing, the new NewLifeItaly Viewer for Windows is finally available, created specifically for our grid.

This is not the usual Viewer that needs to be configured. It is already set up exclusively for NewLifeItaly, with our name, our icon and direct access to the grid.

The main new feature is the integration of Cam and Microphone directly inside the Viewer. A single button opens a narrow sidebar that does not cover your avatar or obstruct the view of the land. The camera and microphone can be activated separately, while the webcams of avatars in the same region are displayed vertically with scrolling.

We now have a Viewer designed to make NewLifeItaly even more complete and engaging, without requiring external programs.

The project will continue to grow with new features developed specifically for our grid.

Two new tools are now available directly from the simulator management page:

💬 Send region message
Send an instant alert to everyone currently connected to the region.

✏️ Rename region
Change the region name directly from ManagerSim. The new name is saved safely in the region configuration and becomes active after the simulator is restarted.

🔒 Both features respect your existing simulator permissions and security rules.

🛠️ BloodMoon ManagerSim – Nouvelles fonctionnalités

Deux nouveaux outils sont maintenant disponibles directement depuis la page de gestion du simulateur :

💬 Envoyer un message à la région
Envoyez une alerte instantanée à toutes les personnes actuellement connectées sur la région.

✏️ Renommer la région
Modifiez directement le nom de la région depuis ManagerSim. Le nouveau nom est enregistré de manière sécurisée dans la configuration et devient actif après le redémarrage du simulateur.

🔒 Ces deux fonctions respectent les droits d’accès et les règles de sécurité déjà en place.

🛠️ NEVERWORLD GRID — SERVER MIGRATION IN PROGRESS 🛠️

Hey everyone! NeverWorld Grid ran into a hardware issue on our end that required us to move to a new server. We're actively working through the migration — mounting the new system, restoring data, and getting everything relinked and rebooted.

The Main Grid is temporarily offline while this happens. Full data restoration takes time to do right, so we appreciate your patience — we want everything to come back exactly as it should, not rushed.

In the meantime, come build with us on the Dev Grid! 🏗️
Create an account and hop on right now:
🔗 https://dev.neverworldgrid.com/

Sandbox away, build, test, export — a good way to stay productive while we finish up.

We'll post the moment the Main Grid is back online. Thanks for hanging in there with us — NWG's coming back stronger! 💙

Early announcement since this one may take some costume planning: On Friday September 11 at 12 pm grid time (that's 9 pm in Europe), we are doing a burlesque themed dance event in a skybox above Oasis, built for the occasion. Come wearing your best burlesque outfits or simply as you are to enjoy the music and the show. The stage has a dressing room so outfit changes during the event are entirely possible (make sure they are in your suitcase!)
