Goodbye, OpenSim. Closing "Russian Grid" and saying my final farewells
Dear friends and the OpenSim community,
The time has come for me to say goodbye. I am officially closing my project, shutting down the "Russian Grid," and leaving OpenSimulator for good.
This heartbreaking decision is driven by the massive geoblocks and internet restrictions in Russia, designed to limit people's access to information. I have tried everything to fight this. I used the most expensive VPN services and the most aggressive bypass methods available, but none of it works anymore. My viewer constantly crashes, and regions take forever to load. Instead of enjoying the world we built, my entire experience has turned into a stressful, never-ending puzzle of trying to bypass the heavy traffic filtering imposed by my ISP and every provider in Russia.
The internet is no longer free. They just give you a temporary illusion of freedom to pull you into the system, only to later manipulate your network—banning what they dislike and totally forcing what serves their own interests.
If everything is working fine for you right now, I am genuinely happy for you. But please remember: it happens unexpectedly. You might just wake up one morning and find yourself locked out of your favorite website because your president ordered a restriction on it—simply because the owner no longer aligns with their political interests.
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been my friend throughout this journey. Thank you for your endless support, your help, and for valuing what I did. I will always remember it. I will forever cherish all of your favorite photos and the memories we made.
This was truly my most interesting and beloved game. Thank you to my friends and to every single person I crossed paths with in this virtual world. Each of you was unique and fascinating.
I wish you all incredible creative success, health, longevity, peace, and prosperity. As for me, it is time to move on. I truly hope I will find something new to fill the void that OpenSim leaves behind.
Thank you for everything, and goodbye.

Mr Mikie String has been delighting audiences from Second Life to InWorldz to OpenSim for years and has an incredible smooth strong voice and a huge list of musical selections to choose from!

King Dragon, this viewer is a direct re-build of Firestorm 6.6.14, with a few bug fixes for rendering, with working WebRTC! no PBR, this took me a while to solve the render bug but it got there. https://mega.nz/file/rh4BzKQC#TETIglB0RB-L1A6nnzT0ikQc8pmD...

NewLifeItaly is moving to HEXIVIA VOICE, our own voice system designed and developed in-house by HEXIVIA for OpenSimulator.

Built on the open WebRTC and Opus standards, it integrates directly with the native voice features of WebRTC-compatible Firestorm OpenSim versions, without requiring modified viewers or additional software.

HEXIVIA VOICE provides 48 kHz audio, a dedicated stereo mix for each listener, and spatial audio: voices change direction and volume according to the avatars’ positions and distance. It also includes speaking indicators, individual mute and volume controls, and separate conversations across parcels.

The backend is written in Go, with a C# connector for OpenSimulator. The voice infrastructure runs on our own servers, independently of Vivox.

With respect for the work of every developer in the community, I would also like to clarify that HEXIVIA VOICE follows its own independent design and development path. It is not derived from other community voice projects and does not reuse their code or design solutions. It uses established open standards, with an architecture and integration developed by HEXIVIA.

NewLifeItaly’s voice now has a name: HEXIVIA VOICE.

Hello friends. As you may know, Funny Rides will be closing its doors on December 31st of this year. Shofia Delrio and I have been working extensively across two regions within this wonderful grid, where we built two large shopping malls—Barcelona and Valencia—which we now need to dismantle and relocate. Both Barcelona and Valencia attracted a significant number of visitors to Funny Rides, thanks to the vast selection and variety of items, our sales events, and our innovative product presentations powered by AI. This is what we have to offer; if any grid is interested in our work, we would be delighted to speak with you and discuss our potential relocation. Thank you so much!

SAMSARA RETURNS HOME

An Original Creation by Yana Dakota

A new chapter begins...

Some places are more than just landscapes. They carry memories, creativity, peaceful moments and a spirit that remains, no matter how much time passes.

Today, I am delighted to announce that "Samsara has returned to Virtual Worlds Zone", once again under the care and creative direction of its original creator and rightful owner,"Yana Dakota".

Originally created in 2023, Samsara was designed as a sanctuary inspired by the timeless beauty of Japanese and Tibetan traditions. A world where nature, spirituality, architecture and tranquility come together in harmony.

Throughout its journey, Samsara has been fortunate to have people who appreciated its beauty and unique atmosphere. I would also like to acknowledge Faith with warmth and respect for her part in Samsara's story.

Now, as Samsara begins this new chapter, its original vision will continue to be preserved, cared for and lovingly developed.

"THE EXHIBITION "THE WALK FOR PEACE" REMAINS OPEN"

Visitors will be pleased to know that the Exhibition "Walk for Peace" is still there and remains available to explore and enjoy.

"A NEW JOURNEY ON THE WATER"

One of Samsara's most charming experiences, the scenic boat tour, is currently undergoing restoration and improvements.

We are developing a new waypoint navigation HUD to give the boat a much more natural and graceful journey through Samsara's waterways.

Instead of making abrupt turns, the improved navigation system is being designed to guide the boat through beautifully flowing curves, allowing it to glide gently and steadily across the water.

Imagine sitting back, relaxing and watching the landscape slowly unfold around you as the boat follows the winding waterways with smooth, elegant movements.

That is the experience we are working toward.

The boat tour is not quite ready yet, but the improvements are already underway, and we look forward to welcoming visitors aboard again.

"SAMSARA IS HOME"

Samsara has never been about simply building a beautiful region. It has always been about creating an atmosphere, a place to breathe, wander, reflect and simply enjoy being present.

Old friends and new visitors alike are warmly invited to rediscover its peaceful surroundings.

Some journeys bring us to new places.

Others bring us back to where we belong.

"Welcome back to Samsara."

Dear residents of Francebuildouille 1 and 2,
As you know, OSGrid is about to undergo some changes.
It will no longer be possible for me to host you on OSGrid.
There is an alternative: Hyacinth, who hosts the regions, has offered to move them to https://groovyverse.com/welcome.
In the meantime, please make a copy of your houses and let me know if you are ready to move.
Chers résidents de Francebuildouille 1 et 2,
Comme vous le savez, OSGrid s'apprête à connaître certains changements.
Il ne me sera plus possible de vous héberger sur OSGrid.
Il existe une alternative : Hyacinth, qui héberge les régions, a proposé de les transférer vers https://groovyverse.com/welcome.
En attendant, veuillez effectuer une copie de vos maisons et me faire savoir si vous êtes prêts à déménager.

The clock is ticking and the shadows are getting longer. Tonight, from 2pm to 8pm, the Halloween party everyone’s been whispering about erupts into full chaos and you’re either inside the madness or outside wishing you were.

Three DJs are taking over the night with a relentless, pulse‑pounding Halloween soundtrack built to shake the walls and drag you straight into the dark. Costumes, lights, smoke, bass… it’s all dialed past maximum. This isn’t a party. It’s a full‑scale supernatural takeover.

Every minute you hesitate, someone else is claiming your spot. When the doors close and the energy peaks, you’ll either be part of the legend or stuck hearing about it from everyone who didn’t miss their chance.

Get here. Get inside. Get lost in it. Tonight only and once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

⚓ **Free for everyone: check your IAR for junk before you move it**

If you're leaving OSgrid or moving inventory between grids, some inventories were stuffed with tens of thousands of machine-made junk folders and items, with names like "Boots_872Silver_948Shoes". Carry that over and it fills up your new grid too, and some grids won't accept IARs that contain it.

**NWG Customs & Border Gate**, a gift from NeverWorld Grid to the whole Hypergrid:
🔗 https://customs.gridxchange.co

• Drop in your IAR and see what's flagged as junk
• Review it, untick anything you want to keep, and save a cleaned copy
• **Your file never leaves your computer.** Everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded
• Free, no account, no sign-up

Tip: for big IARs (several GB), Chrome or Edge on a computer works best.

Always look over what's flagged before saving. It's good at spotting junk, but you know your inventory best.

Questions? Come find us in NWG Discord: https://discord.gg/UkCTVDVxT3

Join us for an unforgettable session at the New Landing Point in Alternate Metaverse Grid!
Expect a rich musical journey with rock anthems, romantic ballads, couples’ dance tunes, and high-energy dance tracks to get your heart racing.

Hypergrid enabled – everyone is welcome!
