2025 RESULTS
Every year, in December, my team and I review the "outgoing year," highlighting our achievements and setbacks. We also share the development of our community. And this year will be no exception.

This year, like last year, has been challenging and eventful for us. It's not over yet, but challenges and minor problems continue to surround us, and we, in turn, continue to actively address them. We wish each of you strength and success in overcoming all the difficulties you encounter along your journey.

For the "Opensimulator" virtual community as a whole, this year was also challenging and eventful in terms of development, setbacks, and losses. And despite all the difficulties, we managed to survive this year and maintain the integrity of our idea and commitment to our values ​​and interests.
So, let's start by talking about our failures and losses.
FAILURE OF THE YEAR
I consider geoblocking, which arose as a result of targeted control measures (data protection, blocking access to information due to law or security requirements) in the Russian-language segment of the internet, to be the failure of the year. It affects the social development of our world as a whole. And although it exists, our world has continued to function and develop. Yes, it is a significant hindrance. But so far this year, we haven't been able to completely circumvent all the restrictions that were imposed. I hope we will definitely solve this problem next year. And next year will be filled with positive emotions for all of us.
LOSS OF THE YEAR
This year, we lost two truly wonderful residents of the Opensim metaverse who always supported our world and the Opensim community as a whole, and who have made enormous contributions to the development of the metaverse. Luna Lunaria, the great designer and creator from the Wolf Territory world. She has passed away, but her memory and her work will forever remain in the metaverse. For me, she was a good friend, whom I often turned to for advice when I was struggling. Together, we explored PBR materials and studied the conceptual development of PBR worlds. Rest in peace. Your fire of enthusiasm for the development of worlds continues to burn in our hearts. Verna Avril is an excellent DJ in the OSGRID world. She dedicated her entire life to creating magnificent sets. I loved listening to her sets and attending parties with her. She was also a good friend of mine. Rest in peace, my friends. Your memory will forever remain in my heart. We remember you guys and will always remember you. Another loss is the leaving another project of my co-owner, Trevor Belmont. For five years, he was an excellent creator and developer and my supporter. He decided to take a different path. I respect his choice and appreciate his contribution to the development of the RussianGrid world. ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR
We've all had plenty of accomplishments this year.
- We've all had the chance to meet new, interesting creative people and worlds open to friendly collaboration with the Russian-speaking segment of the OpenSimulator. We're open to everyone.
- We completed construction and opened the enormous Galaxy Hall cinema and concert hall.
- We've begun creating a museum of Russian art at the Alex Leo residence. The residence was completed entirely using PBR. Thanks to Luna Lunaria for the consultations.
- We managed to complete (independently, without consulting scripters) the Kario male body.
- The new OpenSimulator engine allows us to fully work with PBR materials.
- Restructuring of the STEKLOFF club. Branches of the club, which was very popular with OpenSimulator residents, will now be located in many regions, and they will broadcast events from the main STEKLOFF club.
- This year has seen tremendous development in our world's web resources. We've acquired services such as our own messenger, our own social network, our own cloud storage for users, and our own Flikr equivalent. Most importantly, we've finally managed to create a fully-fledged media streaming grid server, allowing every user to host full-fledged video streams completely free and without restrictions. Our cinema is powered by it.

- We've created a texture cache proxy server. This allows users with slower computers to play comfortably. Cache and textures load instantly. Thanks to this, you no longer need to store tens of gigabytes of cache on your PCs and worry about clearing it every time it gets full.
- Huge thanks to @FerdFrederix for his support, development, and optimization of the DreamGrid project. We appreciate it.
- Huge thanks to @Mike Mills for providing technical support and solving huge problems in the world. My favorite system administrator. I'm glad the server problems are in his hands.
- In terms of server optimization, we were able to achieve excellent frame rates with the most minimal hardware requirements. The security system has also been optimized. There's no longer a need to block users. After the global rules are finalized, intelligent security will be enabled in all regions.
The "Zorkiy Glaz" intelligent system will automatically monitor regional security.
Despite all the restrictions surrounding our world, and the discrediting of our world by unfriendly worlds, we managed to end this year with dignity. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Alex Leo 12/06/2025.

To both Colonial Navy and the Pirates that ravage Utopia seas.

Utopia Sky Grid is changing; the management that controls our grid have determined that effective January 1, 2026 they will block Hypergrid travels. This will affect both inbound and outbound travelers.So if you have a region in Utopia Sky Grid, best ask for an OAR before January 2026.

What will that do to our sea battle? Are you by chance considering joining the sea battles? We will be continuing our battles while evaluating how this change effects our battles before deciding if we must change grids since that takes a lot of work after the move before we can start up battles again.

In the interim, if you are a Hypergrid traveler then it will be necessary for you to create an avatar on Utopia Skye grid to be able to join the battles we have.

Clothing, ships and lessons will be available for regular players in Utopia Battle Group for free.

Exploring Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland is not simply a virtual landscape but an entire world sculpted from imagination, shimmering snow, and the warmth of holiday spirit. Entering the region feels like stepping through a frosted gateway into a place where every element—every drifting snowflake, every echo of laughter, every sparkle on the ice—invites visitors to rediscover childhood wonder. From glistening skating plazas to the legendary North Pole itself, Winter Wonderland offers an experience rich with movement, magic, and festive charm.

The journey typically begins at the Crystal Lake Ice Rink, a vast oval of frozen perfection surrounded by towering pines powdered with snow. Soft music rings through the crisp air, encouraging skaters of all skill levels to glide, spin, or wobble across the glasslike surface. The rink’s edges are lined with twinkling lights, making the entire scene glow with a soft, wintry radiance. You can see families linking hands as they attempt a synchronized glide, couples tracing figure-eights side by side, and solo adventurers testing new twists and daring leaps. The soundscape is an uplifting blend of scraping blades, bubbling laughter, and the occasional joyful shriek as someone regains their balance just in time. It’s a place where movement feels effortless, and the cold seems to energize rather than chill.

Beyond the rink lies the Snowmobile Ridge—a thrilling expanse built for speed and excitement. Snowmobiles of every size and color wait neatly in rows, each one equipped with sleek handlebars and engines that hum with anticipation. Riders follow winding trails carved into the hills, racing past icicle-encrusted cliffs, drifting through tunnels of snow-dusted branches, and launching over gentle slopes that provide just the right amount of breath-catching lift. Whether cruising leisurely or speeding toward a horizon tinged with violet winter light, visitors experience an exhilarating blend of freedom and festive adventure. The chill of wind rushing past one’s face mingles delightfully with the cozy glow from cabins scattered along the ridge, offering warm drinks and a place to thaw before the next ride.

Yet the true heart of Winter Wonderland lies in the North Pole, home to Santa’s legendary workshop. Approaching the North Pole feels like entering the center of holiday myth itself. Giant candy-cane pillars rise on either side of a wide, snowy path. Multicolored lights twinkle along rooftops shaped like oversized gingerbread houses, their chimneys puffing out clouds of peppermint-scented steam. Reindeer tracks crisscross the snow, leading toward a fenced corral where the famous herd occasionally peeks curiously at visitors.

The workshop is a bustling hive of magical activity. Inside, the air smells of cinnamon, pine, and freshly sawed wood. Conveyor belts carry half-constructed toys; gears, ribbons, and tiny mechanical parts fill the room with a gentle clatter. And everywhere—absolutely everywhere—elves can be seen. These cheerful workers, clad in bright greens and reds, are constantly in motion: hammering, painting, wrapping, organizing. But they’re not all business. Some elves can’t resist their mischievous impulses, sneaking outside to engage in spirited snowball matches. Snowballs fly across the courtyard in glittering arcs, bursting into powder upon impact. Others twirl and dance in choreographed routines, stamping tiny boot prints into the snow as they spin to jolly tunes.

Just beyond the workshop lies perhaps the most whimsical attraction of all: the Snowmen Collection, a floating assembly of snow sculptures drifting atop large, gently bobbing icebergs. Each snowman has a unique personality—some tall and stately, others short with round, jolly faces. Many are adorned with scarves, hats, lanterns, or even little carved instruments. They sway softly on their icy platforms, creating a surreal parade that shifts slowly with the water’s movement. Visitors often hop from iceberg to iceberg, careful but delighted, taking in the artistry and charm of each snowman. At times, the snowmen appear to communicate through subtle changes in posture or expressions carved by the frosty air. Under moonlight, the entire collection glows faintly, as though illuminated from within, turning the area into a quiet, dreamlike sanctuary.

Winter Wonderland is more than a collection of virtual attractions; it is an emotional landscape. It evokes nostalgia while inviting creativity, balancing exhilarating activity with cozy comfort. Whether one is racing down the slopes, drifting among snowmen, joining the elves’ joyful chaos, or simply watching snowflakes fall against the gentle glow of distant lights, the region offers a sense of peace paired with boundless delight.

To explore Winter Wonderland is to step into a living celebration of the season—a place where adventure thrives, imagination flourishes, and every corner brings the promise of magic just waiting to be discovered.

Picture this: a wonderland nestled in the heart of a quaint town square, with snowy paths and twinkling fairy lights that dance playfully in the brisk winter air. The aroma of roasting chestnuts fills the air, the chestnuts are indeed hot, nestled in little paper cones that crackle as they’re handed to you, releasing their nutty, toasty perfume. You pop one into your mouth and it’s a symphony of flavor and warmth, a delightful contrast to the cold that nips at your nose, and sweet scent of caramelizing
sugar coating the freshly made crepes sizzling and each breath you take is a
delightful cocktail of festive scents that tickle your nose and warm your soul, not
forgetting roasts marshmallows over an open fire, the sticky sweetness of the melting marshmallows wafts through the air, a siren’s call to those with a sweet tooth. as you sit to enjoy your cheeks turn rosy from the flames as you attempt to craft the perfect s’more.

Hot drinks and steaming mugs of mulled wine and spiced cider are passed around, warmth seeping through your mittens and into your very bones. You can’t help but sip at the fragrant concoction, the spices of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg pirouetting on your tongue, leaving a comforting of warmth and for the less adventurous, there’s hot chocolate so rich and creamy it’s like a warm hug from the inside out, topped with a mountain of whipped cream and a dusting of glittering sugar.

The stallholders are a merry bunch, their eyes twinkling with the same enthusiasm as the lights strung up above, you notice the details that make this place so special. Strands of garland draped over every surface, the rustle of pine needles from
fresh-cut wreaths, the occasional snowflake that flutters down from the sky,

The Carpe Noctem Christmas Market isn’t just a place to shop; it’s an experience that fills your heart with the magic of the season. It’s a place to create memories with friends and loved ones, to revel in the joy of giving and receiving, and to simply be present in the moment.

Kety Fusco: Die Revolution der Harfe

Man stelle sich einen Salon im 18. Jahrhundert vor.
Auf einem Podest thront die Harfe, dieses Symbol des himmlischen, des zarten, des unangreifbar klassischen Klangs.
Sie ist das Instrument der Engel, das bevorzugte Gerät für Filmmusiken, wenn Reinheit oder eine sanfte Melancholie gefragt sind.
Nun stelle man sich vor, diese Harfe hätte genug.
Genug von der ewigen Sanftheit, genug von den wattierten Handschuhen, mit denen sie angefasst wird.
Sie will Rumpeln, Schreien, Knistern und Glitschen. Sie will dreckig sein.
Und genau in diesem Moment des musikalischen Protests tritt Kety Fusco auf die Bühne....
