As you learn to truly see the companions who travel this life with you, you begin to realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. There is no road to travel on and no time to travel through.

A brand new ongoing build by Luna Lunaria. The theme is a reimagining of what Atlantis and the Roman Empire would look like if they had survived to the modern era and merged together (sorry no, not the sunken version of Atlantis. There are lots of others working that theme). Not much there right now...

Safinemahoe2: I used Luna’s cemetery pieces for the center of my Halloween display last year. The pieces are extremely detailed and will add the spooky feeling to a build. 2 years ago
Here's another pic of additional cemetery items

You can view my complete line of cemetery items on the Kitely Market here:

You can see the full cemetery on display at both my store regions by using the hypergrid addresses below:

Thinking about getting your place ready for Halloween season? If you're going for a visceral, realistic look then I have a full collection just for you. This is the first part of my collection.

Another look I like. Ruth2 RC3 mesh body with my own hair, skin, and shape as in the earlier post. Clothes and shoes from the Kitely Market. Blouse is by Rune, leather pants are by Dadiellas, and my favorite boots came from Dollys, which has since closed due to constant fighting with the never buy in opensim crowd. She got tired of it and left opensim, closing all her stores.

I just wanted to party in opensim, hang out with friends, and make nice stuff that I could sell to pay for my land. I never wanted this fight but it came to my door anyway. If there are those who want give away a bunch of stuff stolen from SL then that's their decision, I'm not going to call them out over it - that's a bigger question for people far more important than I am in Opensim to grapple with. But I'm not going to let anyone dictate what I can and can't do with my own creations.

Jupiter Rowland: By the way: Kodama avatar. When? 2 years ago
My Ruth2 and Roth2 avatars. Luna on the left is wearing Ruth2 RC3 (I don't use RC4 because I don't like the alpha hud for that version). The dress is from the Kitely Market and made by Pacifica. Hair, skin, and shape are mine (no I don't sell these or give them away and haven't made any others since - not my thing). Apelles on the right is wearing the latest version of Roth2. Clothes and hair are from the Kitely Market. The glasses and shoes I made. Each one's complexity is about 55000 to 60000. Just so you know you can get a nice unique look with Ruth2 and Roth2

Jupiter Rowland: Shameless plu-, I mean, PSA: I'm surprised to see that you as a Ruth2 and Roth2 user haven't joined my Ruth and Roth group yet. (https://opensimworld.com/groups/1014/members) As a benefit, you'll get ... 2 years ago
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 :-)

LeonSullivan: People confuse me here. On the one hand "sharing is caring" freebies are damned, on the other hand there are tons of "likes" for just those kind of freebie regions 2 years ago
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.

More fun with eeps. I made this one at OSFest

There are nearly 25 merchants, hailing from multiple grids around the Hyperverse, that are participating with me in a massive sales event all week - sales prices and freebies galore. Supporting is caring, and encourages more quality creators to set up shop in opensim to provide us all with the things that make outfitting our avatars and regions easy. For instance, I'm not a clothing maker, so I get all my clothes from original opensim creators.

Today starts my Opensim Appreciation Giveaway, and it's happening all this week at OSFest from Monday July 18th through Sunday July 24th. Everything I have out on my four merchant regions at OSFest will be free, with the exception of two structures still under construction that I will debut in the next month. Freebies include castles, entertainment venues, statues, landscaping, airships, and decor of all kinds - if you see it you can get it for free. I have four parcels on the OSFest grid: one on the Chlorine region and three on Unobtanium.

The merchants at OSFest2022 have banded together to create a unique merchants sales event from regions all across the grid! It starts right now on July 18th and runs through the 24th. The good thing in virtual world tech is inventory is never an issue but time can be... unless you get in world as soon as you can and start using those Merchant TP boards placed seemingly everywhere. Merchant Organizer Luna Lunaria gets things started with unbelievable giveaways!

My apologies to anyone attempting to visit my regions on Mobius Grid or Wolf Territories Grid the last few days, especially since I am advertising both at OSFest. The two grids have been down for a few days, both with asset server issues. I still have a smaller region at Kitely, but that one is a store only. I'll post a notice in my profile when everything is back up.

OSFest 2022 starts off with a bang today at 9 am grid time (pst) with a full lineup of great performers for the next three days! There are also tons of exhibits and displays everywhere. See you there!

Start at HG Welcome to grab all the info and goodies: grid.opensimfest.com:8022:HG-Welcome

See all regions here: https://opensimworld.com/user/OSFest
The OSFest 2022 website has been updated with new images from participants, HG addresses to all public regions, event lineups for all three filled weekends, sponsor ads, and sponsor links. We've added download, heart, and social share icons for the images. You can see the website here: https://www.opensimfest.com/

Kudos to the great OSFest team!

We open in two days! Construction on the grid is happening at a fast pace. Late entries for free parcels and sponsors are welcome!

A tidbit from the Luxor build. This hypergate takes you to Lunaria on Mobius Grid


Mistressdalgato: beautiful, is that hypergrid for sale? would something similar as a decretive piece 2 years ago
We still have some free parcels open and 8 days still left to build. Tell your friends and get your own if you don't have one already!

Here is how to get started (we apologize for the multiple steps, but these have become necessary in light of recent grid attacks):

Step 1: Go to https://www.opensimfest.com/register to get a ticket as an exhibitor or as a merchant if you want to sell your products. This is how we get your email address

Step 2: You will receive an email invite to create an optional local avatar account on OSFest Grid. You may skip this step and proceed directly to Step 3 if you would like to use your HG avatar instead, but you will need to contact us in Discord to set up a meeting with your HG avatar on the OSFest Grid.

Step 3: Sign up for an open parcel at https://signupschedule.com/osfest

Step 4: We will get an email about your choice, then arrange to send a group invite to your local OSFest avatar as officer to your parcel so that you can build on it
