🌴 WHAT WILL YOU BUILD ON YOUR OWN PRIVATE ISLAND? 🌴
Imagine having your very own island—a place where your creativity has no limits, your imagination can run wild, and you can create a little piece of paradise that is uniquely yours!
🌺 This breathtaking hideaway was created by one of our talented Friends Grid residents. She transformed her island into a beautiful, peaceful retreat where she can escape the everyday hustle, unwind, and simply enjoy the world she has created.
That's the beauty of Friends Grid. We provide the space, but YOU bring it to life! Whether your dream is a tropical paradise, a cozy seaside cottage, a magnificent castle, or a secluded forest sanctuary, the possibilities are endless.
🏝️ YOUR ISLAND. YOUR VISION. YOUR HOME.
✨ LIMITED FREE ISLANDS AVAILABLE! ✨
Friends Grid is offering a limited number of FREE, full-sim-sized islands with 10,000 prims to people who are looking for more than just a place to build. We're looking for residents who want to make Friends Grid their main virtual home, put down roots, make lasting friendships, and become part of our welcoming, growing community.
❤️ Because at Friends Grid, we're not just building islands. We're building a community.
📩 Interested in claiming your own piece of paradise?

WolfViewer "Fixing Frog" (7.2.4 w67): a real sky, Wolf Experiences and new building tools
Everything new since Space Rabbit, including the Smiling Frog update.
☁️ A real sky on Wolf Territories
WolfViewer now draws its own sky on every Wolf Territories region: a real atmosphere, with 3D clouds you can see from below, from the side and from above. Press WE in the navigation bar to switch it on or off.
🌦️ Clouds that match the weather
Puffy cumulus low down, altocumulus in the middle, thin cirrus up high. When thunder is forecast, towering clouds build up kilometres tall. Regions tied to a real place get that place's real weather and real time of day.
✈️ The sky changes as you fly
Cross into another region, even far out over the sea, and its sky comes in over a few seconds.
🌠 Shooting stars on clear nights, and light that adapts like a camera between day and night.
🌧️ Choose your own weather
In the World menu, under Weather, pick rain, snow or fog for yourself, even when the region has its own weather.
Each region starts with its own weather when you arrive.
🎢 Wolf Experiences
In the Wolf World menu, choose Wolf Experiences: pick something to do and go straight there. Fly Concorde, ride into a Wild West
town, land on Jupiter's moon Europa, and more.
📅 What's on
The grid's events for the week, with posters, what's live now, and one click to get there.
🏗️ Add your own experience
Builders can add their place for everyone to find: wolf-grid.com/build-an-experience
⛏️ Make Caves
In the Build menu, choose Make Caves: draw a box, add tunnels and doors, press Generate.
🔨 Builders Mode
Midday light, object names and a build grid while you build.
🏖️ Sandbox land
In About Land, the Sandbox tab lets region owners set prim limits and auto-return per person.
🚗 Vehicle HUDs
Resize any vehicle HUD, rez your vehicle from the HUD, and use the new truck retarder controls.
⬇️ Download WolfViewer (Windows, Mac, Linux): https://wolf-grid.com/viewers.php
Already have it? WolfViewer will offer the update when you next start it.

4 Fun and Active Years of the Dinkies!
On 2nd November, we will celebrate five wonderful years since the Dinkies came to life in OpenSim at the Funsize Dinkies World Resort!
What an amazing journey it has been so far! Four years filled with fun, laughter, friendship, adventures, and so many beautiful memories. And, of course, many more wonderful years are still to come!
As most of you know, the Dinkies Resort has moved a couple of times over these past four years, always searching for the perfect place to call home.
And now, the Funsize Dinkies have finally found their special home on LinkUp Grid, where many Dinkies have already been enjoying their wonderful lives since the grid first opened.
We are so happy to see our little community continue to grow, welcome new faces, make new friends, and create even more unforgettable memories together.
A huge thank-you to everyone who has been part of our journey over these four amazing years. Whether you have been with us since the very beginning or joined us along the way, you are all part of what makes the Funsize Dinkies World Resort such a special place!
Here’s to more fun, more adventures, more friendships, and many, many more happy years together on LinkUp Grid!

Hi everyone. I have had a few people ask if we will upload IAR files to Wolf Territories from OSGRID. Unfortunately we have to protect the security of the grid so we will not be doing that at this time. However I'm pleased to say that region owners can upload OAR files, although we have a scanner that pre-scans OAR's. We are running a custom version of OpenSim called WolfSim that has many built in protections, including running on dotnet 10 rather than 8 like many grids, properly locked down servers running our WolfStack infrastructure software (https://wolfstack.org) etc. Plus users benefiting from our Viewers get added security,
We have removed some quite severe security vulnerabilities in Firestorm in our WolfViewer viewer that can run on any grid, but Wolf users get a lot of extra features. I wish everyone all the best with what is going on but that's where Wolf Territories is at the moment. Please PM me if you have any questions Lone Wolf in world, on discord or on this platform.
In other news we have a new opensim blog https://opensimblog.com

🌿 Welcome to Rigatoni Cemetery! 🌿
Dear OSgrid friends,
Sometimes, even virtual worlds need a place where memories can live on. ❤️
I’m so happy that we can offer this little project completely free of charge! With OSgrid approaching its expected closure at the end of December, I thought it would be lovely to create a special place where everyone can leave a personal mark and preserve a little piece of their virtual life.
Rigatoni Cemetery welcomes you!
There is currently room for 30 individual gravesites , each measuring 64 × 64, where you can create your own memorial, design a unique resting place, or simply celebrate the memories and friendships you made in OSgrid.
Our friendly cemetery administrator, Toni Riga , will be happy to help you find your own parcel.
Everyone is welcome. No fees, no pressure — just a little place for memories, creativity, and friendship.
Because even when a virtual world disappears, the memories we made there deserve a home. 🌹

new OAR + IAR kiosk. we use wormhole for safe secure large file uploads (we support up to 100GB) . touch the kiosk in the Payments & Support center to upload your Oar or Iar file. You can download a wormhole GUI client or use the command line. Doesn't have to be on the same computer, you just need to enter the Wormhole code and we'll pull it.
Note: only one of each can be uploaded at a time. if you upload a second Oar or Iar it will replace the previous one. So you have to wait until it is loaded on grid if you have more files to upload.

https://www.osgrid.online/news/the-end-of-the-road/
Das Ende einer Ära: Warum OSgrid nach 19 Jahren den Betrieb einstellt
19 Jahre lang war OSgrid mehr als nur ein Server oder eine Plattform. Es war ein digitales Grenzland, das auf einer radikalen Grundidee beruhte: dass ein offenes, dezentrales Metaverse allein durch Gemeinschaft, Vertrauen und eine gemeinsame Architektur florieren kann. Heute muss der Vorstand von OSgrid mit tiefem Bedauern das Ende dieser Reise verkünden. Wir beenden das Projekt offiziell.
Dieses Grid wurde weder von der Zeit noch durch mangelndes Engagement des Teams besiegt, das das Projekt über das letzte Jahrzehnt hinweg vorangetrieben hat. Es wurde systematisch von einem böswilligen Akteur zerstört, der unsere Kernphilosophie gegen uns wandte. Indem er genau jene Freiheit ausnutzte, die uns ausmachte – unser offenes Code-Framework –, löste er einen IAR-Prozess aus, der unsere Architektur mit riesigen Mengen zufälliger, nicht deduplizierbarer Daten überflutete. Die technische Realität ist unumkehrbar. In weniger als einem Jahr wuchs unser über die Zeit gewachsener Asset-Server von 5 TB auf 17 TB an (wovon 80 % mittlerweile Datenmüll sind). Unsere Tabelle für Inventargegenstände explodierte von 3 GB auf lähmende 139 GB, wodurch routinemäßige Datenbank-Backups von 10 Minuten zu einer 12-stündigen Tortur wurden. Unsere Assets sind faktisch „vergiftet“.
Wir standen vor einer entscheidenden Wahl. Der einzige Weg, diese Angriffe zu stoppen und die Datenbank zu sichern, bestünde darin, unsere Infrastruktur zu schließen und zu einem geschlossenen, kommerziellen Modell überzugehen. Ein solcher Schritt würde das offene Ethos, auf dem dieses Grid ursprünglich aufgebaut wurde, vollständig zunichtemachen. Keiner unserer technischen Mitarbeiter ist bereit, ein kommerzialisiertes, abgeschottetes System („Walled Garden“) zu betreiben. Das ist schlichtweg nicht das, wofür sich irgendjemand hier engagiert hat. Das auf der letzten Sitzung vorgeschlagene Gebührensystem war zwar ein Schritt, um dieses Problem effizienter zu bekämpfen, doch um die Angriffe wirklich zu beenden, müssten wir das Grid dauerhaft abriegeln. Wir weigern uns, die Seele und das Modell von OSgrid zu opfern, nur um den Betrieb irgendwie aufrechtzuerhalten. Täglich elf Stunden im Schichtdienst damit zu verbringen, Angriffe abzuwehren und vergiftete Daten zu bereinigen, ist als ehrenamtliche Tätigkeit nicht mehr tragbar. Wir haben über die Jahrzehnte viele Arten von Angriffen überstanden und abgewehrt, doch die Entropie hat letztlich gesiegt. Als der Vorstand gestern diese endgültige Entscheidung traf, saßen bei Hurliman Menschen am Tisch, die zusammen auf über 80 Jahre Metaverse-Erfahrung zurückblicken. Wir sind nicht bloß Administratoren, die einen Server abschalten; wir sind Veteranen dieses Grids, die mit ansehen müssen, wie unsere eigene Geschichte – genau wie eure – in Flammen aufgeht. An unsere 153.000 registrierten Nutzer: Wir wissen genau, was diese Auslöschung bedeutet. Ihr habt euch hier nicht nur eingeloggt. Ihr habt eine Gemeinschaft aufgebaut. Fast zwei Jahrzehnte lang habt ihr programmiert, gestaltet und in diesen Regionen gelebt. Eine Datenbank zu löschen bedeutet mehr als nur das Entfernen von Dateien – es ist, als würde man digitale Zuhause mit Bulldozern dem Erdboden gleichmachen, tägliche Verbindungen kappen und ein absolut einzigartiges Kapitel der Internetgeschichte begraben. Die Schwere dieses Verlusts ist absolut. Wir gehen nicht leichten Herzens; wir tragen diesen Schlag gemeinsam mit euch an vorderster Front, denn die technische Realität dieser „vergifteten“ Architektur ließ uns keine andere Wahl.
Leider müssen wir euch mitteilen: Die Dienste von OSgrid werden am 31. Dezember 2026 um Mitternacht eingestellt.
Wir laden euch ein, ein letztes Mal mit uns zusammenzukommen. Am kommenden Sonntag, dem 18., findet um 11:00 Uhr am Hurliman Plaza eine letzte Mitgliederversammlung statt.
Neue Registrierungen sind nicht mehr möglich, und alle früheren Pläne wurden abgesagt und widerrufen. Auch wenn Auktionen in dieser Phase völlig deplatziert wirken mögen, wäre es noch schlimmer, die enorme Arbeit, die die Community in diese Bauwerke gesteckt hat, einfach zu verwerfen. Daher wurden unsere stillen Auktionen – anstelle eines Live-Events – ins Internet verlagert und sind nun auf Zeffy verfügbar: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/osgrid-incs-silent-a...
Damit werde ich wohl auch mein dasein hier in der digitalen Welt beenden. Es sind ja noch ein paar Wochen die ich genießen werde, aber zu einem Neuanfang habe ich keine richtige Lust mehr.
Vielleicht ergibt sich ja noch etwas, doch bei meinem Glück wohl eher nicht.
Schade das es so kommt, aber anderer seits verstehe ich es auch. Die Arbeit wird immer mehr und das alles in der Freizeit ist schon heftig.
Euer Andy

Hello, dear OSgrid friends!
With the expected closure of OSgrid at the end of December 2026, many of us are facing the challenge of finding a new virtual home. Over the past few days, several residents have already reached out to me looking for a place to settle in.
If you are one of them, you are very welcome at Cozy Sun Grid! We would love to help you find a new home for your avatar, meet new friends, and become part of a small, creative community where people know and appreciate one another.
There is room for you here — and perhaps this is the beginning of something wonderful!

Hello, dear homeless OSgrid residents!
At the end of December 2026, an era is expected to come to an end: OSgrid is likely to shut down. Over the past few days, many residents have already contacted me looking for a new place to call home.
There is still plenty of space available on Tartaria , and we expect to be able to offer around 10 more parcels. However, Tartaria will be moving to my own grid at the end of December.
Explore Cozy Sun Grid:
https://opensimworld.com/dir/?grid=sun.cozycomforts.net:80...
Due to the limited number of available accounts, we can initially welcome only 7 new residents .
We would love to get to know you personally! So come over, explore our regions, and have a chat with us. We are not looking for anonymous tenants, but for people who want to become part of a small, creative, and lively community.
Learn more about us:
https://cozycomfortsgrids.wordpress.com
We already have several lovingly designed regions. Anula is located at the very top of the large map. It is still largely undeveloped, offering plenty of room for new ideas. Additional parcels will also become available there soon.
There is no need to rush. We still have more than two months until the end of December — enough time to bring the right people together and build something wonderful.
If you are looking for a new home for your avatar and value community, creativity, and a personal atmosphere, come and visit us! We look forward to meeting you.
Want your own region on Cozy Sun Grid?
We offer small regions for just €15 per quarter .
We work together to plan and fund the server, ensuring that we can build a stable virtual home for our community in the long run. Our fixed quarterly fee keeps costs transparent and helps us plan reliably.
If you would like to become part of our grid community and create your own little world, simply get in touch with me. We can discuss the possibilities together, and we look forward to welcoming you!
