Greetings OSW,

Exotic Realities (a new adult RP grid, not officially opened yet, coming early in 2025) is pleased to announce that we are releasing a modified and upgraded version of the reborn and waifu bodies, complete with lots of bug fixes, a dedicated Waifu version with complete functionality, and both default and custom material capabilities. We have given some of our friends the ability to distribute this for us at their stores. You can find it at the two locations below!

Loc 1 > hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques NW/833/813/35
Loc 2 > hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques NE/385/105/25

By popular demand, I'm now adding some add-ons for the Reborn 3.0 body I posted a few days ago, they include the Juice Rolls, Soft Arms, and Soft Thighs all scripted to auto-hide and receive materials changes from the body! Since my grid is still being developed, even though my store region is up, my new friends at Sciatti Shops, has offered to put them out for everyone to grab, I thank them very much! You can get them here > https://imgur.com/e5ByT58 > hop://sciattisigrid.it:8002/SciattiShopClothes/14/176/23

Sadly... It seems there's a loss of interest among the general population for all things metaverse... People are moving on to other games, or not playing games at all any more, and taking on additional real life work to offset the crazy inflation happening around the world... I've noticed huge down turns in the numbers of people getting into virtual worlds lately. Can't say I blame 'em... All the name calling, in fighting, back biting, hate spewing, trolling, and worse going around.
But it is what it is... What is it? You ask... Well, it's such a huge reduction in numbers that only a small percentage of "hard-core" virtual lifers remain... It's sad... It's unfortunate... We have seen many grids recently shutting their doors and I fear we will see many more admins clicking the red power off button in the future. Anyway to all those leaving, I bid you safe travels, and a happy life. Remember us few lone die-hard souls forever permafrosted into the fabric of the metaverse...

A stunning render of Fantasy Land, a quaint and whimsical village of mushroom houses. The scene features adorable, colorful houses with mushroom caps, each with unique architectural details. An inviting pathway winds through the village, leading to a cozy-looking central gathering spot. The soft, glowing sunlight creates a warm atmosphere, and the surrounding forest is filled with vibrant flora and fauna.

Möge die Weihnachtszeit euch eine Pause des Alltags schenken und euch Zeit geben, die wirklich wichtigen Dinge zu schätzen. Inmitten der Hektik des Lebens ist es diese Zeit des Jahres, die uns daran erinnert, was wirklich zählt: Familie, Freunde und die Liebe, die wir teilen. Frohe Weihnachten allen !!!

THE LOVE LOCK BRIDGE
This corner is inspired by the Parisian tradition of "The Lock Bridge", by which for many generations thousands of lovers leave their locks on a bridge over the Seine and throw the keys into the river, manifesting with this gesture that their love is eternal. Putting locks is illegal nowadays in RL, but in iEchoes you still can put yours.
Come request it today and let's fill Opensim with love.

As many of you wonderful peeps out there know Diva, who created this region, sadly passed away in December 2020. We have kept the region live by request from her family and from the many users who frequently visit this region. We continue to update the region and have done a little cleanup as our wonderful Diva passed in the middle of part of the build. Dynamic Worldz will continue to sponsor this region as so many of you find it so valuable.

Priscilla paid me a visit. She couldn't do anything to my sim... at all... But I hit her with a bolt of lightning seen here in this video, also with an elven attack, and orbiters (lol), followers, and a clouder. heheheh Double click the picture for a bigger view of priscilla hanging helplessly in the air, being jerked around by magic. hahahaha. She finally got mad and ran off... :)

Uhmmm I made a thing that detects greifers in sandboxes and kicks and bans them. Check this out. It's also a 3d radar, and shows people flying around and moving around on the sim. Get yours at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:FreeMagic

Hi Folks
Nice that you are all still here. Friends, envious, haters and hackers I love you all. You think Rakis is dead? Noooooo! 8 unix grid now run fine. ♥ You want my OAR's e.g. Free House Sim 1 + 2 and more? Then go to my website and get it. Hacker, trying to hack the website. The surprise will be great. :-D
https://www.rakisworld.ch/oar/
have fun.
DMCA blah blah: Everything has to be passed on to CMT. Just as we got it from the creator. Later access changes go by our ass. For lawyers: info@rakisworld.ch IGE IPI CH
Charge for your own work, but take everything from others for free !? Steal all CMT right and left and pass on NO mod, NO copy, NO trance. Those are the ones that should be banned from OS!

Best Regards
Rakis Heron

HOW I MAKE VISUAL SHOWS TUTORIAL

I was asked many times about how I create the visual shows such as the ones I made for HIE, just yesterday, the talented artist Tina Bey asked me to explain my process to her. So I decided to create a tutorial in spanish for her, but I quickly realized that this work should benefit more people; with this in mind, I created the English and French versions.
I really hope the tutorial is clear enough to be understood. Anyway I can help you if you are more questions.

The tutorial is available in SOUP section in Cherry Freebies region

Since I released the Cinema Complex last year, I've had a few of you ask if you could get just the ballroom section I created for it. That new ballroom is now nearly complete with brand new pbr textures (as shown), as well as older fallback textures so that everyone will see something. I'll post in a couple of days when it's complete.

**A Tribute to Verna Avril: DJ, Creator, and Friend**
Today, we pause to honor and celebrate the extraordinary Verna Avril, a beloved DJ at Event Plaza, an accomplished builder, and a cherished friend to so many. Verna has recently been diagnosed with late-stage cancer, and while the news has left us heartbroken, her unwavering spirit continues to shine brightly in the time she has left.

For those who have had the privilege of knowing Verna, you know her as a force of nature. Her music has been the heartbeat of Event Plaza, where she transforms gatherings into magical experiences, spinning tracks that bring people together and create memories that last a lifetime. As a DJ, Verna doesn’t just play music—she shares her soul through every beat and rhythm.

Beyond her music, Verna is a visionary builder and creator. She owns and curates numerous regions, each a testament to her incredible talent and love for creating beautiful spaces. Her worlds are filled with life, imagination, and wonder—a reflection of her boundless creativity and dedication.

Verna’s style and charisma are as unforgettable as her music. Always impeccably dressed in her signature short black dresses, she carries herself with grace and confidence that inspire those around her. But it’s her warmth, kindness, and generosity that truly make her unforgettable.

In this challenging time, Verna has shown us the depth of her strength. Even as she faces this diagnosis, she continues to remind us of the importance of living fully, loving deeply, and creating beauty wherever we can.

As her community, let us rally around her with our love and support. Share your stories, your memories, and your gratitude for the joy she’s brought into your life. Let’s celebrate Verna Avril—not just for what she’s accomplished, but for who she is: a beacon of light, creativity, and love.

We don’t know how much time we have left with her, but we do know this—every moment with Verna is a gift. Let’s cherish these moments together and honor her legacy, now and always.

Stay strong, Verna. You are loved more than words can express. 💖

Aussie and I will be hosting an event to celebrate our friend Verna Avril. In the meantime, please post messages for her here as she cannot be in Opensim but can read this website. Thank you in advance for posting for her! I will make all the messages and stories into an online book for Verna.

'...And ye shall be free from slavery. And as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall be naked in your rites. And ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love all in my praise.
For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine also is joy upon Earth, for my law is love unto all beings...'

Dal profondo del cuore auguriamo a tutti voi un Natale pieno di pace e speranza, vi ringraziamo per tutti i bei momenti condivisi in questo 2024 che sta per finire e ci auguriamo che il prossimo 2025 sia per tutti noi una grande opportunità per divenire la migliore versione di noi stessi.
°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸,ø¤°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°
De todo corazón les deseamos a todos una Navidad llena de paz y esperanza, gracias por todos los bellos momentos compartidos en este 2024, deseamos para todos que el próximo 2025 sea una gran oportunidad de convertirnos en la mejor versión de nosotros mismos
