One of the reasons I love Wolf territories - nearly all regions are connected to each other, and there are tons of them. This is from my newest store region under construction, and this view is looking west toward one of the several large mountains you can find across the grid that are not mesh - they are actual terrain. I could literally fly from here all the way to the other side of the grid. The venue in the photo is the Victorian Club that will be ready for sale soon.

So this post was left on one of my regions and is fairly representative of the mindset original opensim creators will grapple with if they want to sell their products here:

"It looks nice but I like the whole sharing is caring idea. So many places in OS that offer free stuff. Not here, too bad."

I don't blame this shopper at all for wanting to find quality items for free - who doesn't? I was grateful that they visited in the first place and cared enough to leave a comment. It's for that reason that from time to time I do exactly that - offer most of my stuff for free as I did this past OSFest.

No, the ones that make life for opensim creators difficult are those freebie mills continuously churning out stolen content from Second Life and calling it 'sharing', and who aggressively push the idea that merchants in opensim have no right to exist.

As I replied to this user: Sharing is truly caring only if it's the original creator giving it away free, or if they have explicitly given permission to others to do so. And that only works if they don't have to pay for their regions, which is not the case for me.

My region costs average $20 per month per region, and the money I make from sales covers that most of the time. There are months I take a loss with my opensim stores (my Second Life store has never posted a loss in 14 years). But because sales do cover most of my rent I can keep doing what I love: making original content for Opensim.

Paying for regions of course is my choice - I prefer to be on well-run grids that truly respect creators rights. I know that you can easily find quality items for your regions for free all over opensim, so no one is more grateful than me when you choose to purchase at my stores :-)

Anunciando um novo hud... "Wizardry". É um hud mágico com muito mais poderes do que todos os outros huds combinados. Foi criado por um grande feiticeiro no reino de FreeMagic. O Mago o deixou, onde jovens aprendizes dignos poderiam encontrá-lo e usá-lo para o bem, apenas esperando que o certo o descobrisse. O certo NÃO é priscilla kleenex. Quando você chegar ao FreeMagic em sua jornada para encontrar esse grande poder, você deve levar o seu tempo... Atravesse a longa ponte de corda, não voe nem tente. Se você tentar voar o dragão irá empurrá-lo para fora da terra, se você for empurrado 3 vezes você será banido da terra da Magia. Atravesse lentamente a longa ponte de corda da loja FreeMagic até o castelo do Mago, depois dê a volta e suba a longa ponte do castelo do Mago até a Faculdade de Scripting Magic. Dentro está um teste para aqueles que são dignos de receber o hud. Mas se você voou ou tentou voar, não poderá levar o Hud. Assim seja como está escrito! Você está avisado! Agora uma palavra para o jovem viajante sábio... A noite é sua amiga.

Ankündigung eines neuen Hud... "Wizardry". Es ist ein magisches Hud mit viel mehr Kräften als alle anderen Huds zusammen. Es wurde von einem großen Zauberer im Königreich FreeMagic erschaffen. Der Zauberer ließ es dort zurück, wo würdige junge Lehrlinge es finden und für immer nutzen könnten, und wartete nur darauf, dass der Richtige es entdeckte. Das Richtige ist NICHT Priscilla Kleenex. Wenn Sie auf Ihrer Suche nach dieser großen Kraft bei FreeMagic ankommen, müssen Sie sich Zeit nehmen ... Schlendern Sie über die lange Hängebrücke, fliegen Sie nicht und versuchen Sie es nicht. Wenn du versuchst zu fliegen, wird dich der Drache aus dem Land drängen, wenn du 3 Mal hinausgeworfen wirst, wirst du aus dem Land der Magie verbannt. Gehen Sie langsam über die lange Hängebrücke vom FreeMagic-Laden zum Schloss des Zauberers, gehen Sie dann zurück und gehen Sie die lange Brücke vom Schloss des Zauberers hinauf zum College of Scripting Magic. Darin befindet sich ein Test für diejenigen, die würdig sind, den Hud zu erhalten. Aber wenn Sie geflogen sind oder versucht haben zu fliegen, können Sie den Hud nicht nehmen. Also sei es wie geschrieben! Sie sind vorgewarnt! Nun noch ein Wort an den weisen jungen Reisenden.... Die Nacht ist dein Freund.

Don't miss this! DJ Keng brings it Fridays at 7 PM grid time. Tonight's set will be full of ballads & love songs so bring your squeeze or come solo, if you don't, you'll wish you did! You'll find him at Barefoot Dreamers Grid. Take the tp to Daddy O's from the welcome area TP board. Here's your ticket. login.barefoot-dreamers.com:8002:Barefoot Dreamers Welcome

This looks to be a spectacular event!! https://continuum.outworldz.net/JOpensim/index.php/forum/r...

Announcing a new hud... "Wizardry". It is a magical hud with many more powers than all the other huds combined. It was created by a great Wizard in the kingdom of FreeMagic. The Wizard left it, where worthy young apprentices might find it, and use it for good, just waiting for the right one to discover it. The right one is NOT priscilla kleenex. When you arrive at FreeMagic on your journey to find this great power, you must take your time... Amble across the long rope bridge, do not fly or even attempt to. If you attempt to fly the dragon will push you out of the land, if you are pushed out 3 times you will be banned from the land of Magic. Slowly walk across the long rope bridge from the FreeMagic store to the Wizard's castle, then go around back and walk up the long bridge from the Wizard's castle to the College of Scripting Magic. Inside is a test for those who are worthy to receive the hud. But if you flew or attempted to fly, you will not be able to take the Hud. So Be IT as written! You are forwarned! Now a word to the wise young traveller.... The night is your friend.
