Long beach is perhaps the longest beach in opensim. More than 2 km long. (For draw distance reason at 1024 I can't take full picture.) Be careful with traffic at the promenade street. Lot of walkers and skaters. So don't stand around on pavement and look in the air lol This part of Big City Life is not leaned on NYC. More inspiration comes from Tel Aviv. But is a fantasy VR city anyway. lol

If you found the way in the big city in the quarter old town red light district then you should explore the houses. It is not just some lego boxes with textures. I tried to make all realistic and sometimes people walk or even talk to you. Then nightlife in the heart of the city can be fun. Chinese quarter is close to it. But lights for the midnight environment are still not like in cyberpunk 2077 lol Is a bit more difficult to get the ambient for midnight environment.
How you come from City Railway Mainstation in Big City itself (not landing point railwaystation) to the old town quarter.

Dear friends! We are pleased to announce that on February 1, our virtual world SouthGrid will undergo significant changes! We are planning a rebranding, during which the logos will be updated and, most importantly, the name of the world will be changed to RussianGrid. In particular, we will be available at the new address https://russiangrid.ru:5000 We understand that these cardinal changes may affect many of you, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. We are confident that the new name and updated style will allow us to better reflect our mission and values. Thank you for your understanding and support during this important time for us. We will definitely inform you about the new features and functions of the new world RussianGrid additionally.

Sincerely,
SouthGrid Team

This is now starting my 15th year of trying to improve Opensim with the DreamWorld and DreamGrid systems. I haven't done an OSCC talk for several years so I thought I'd give a quick review of some Opensim stats that I track. This data is based on anonymous data from the DNS servers ns1.outworldz.com and ns2.outworldz.com and the publicity checkbox, which generates XML for the https://outworldz.com/search function. I am also able to count some stats from known 'other' grids via a web crawler that runs hourly scans.

There are now 259 free OARs, and that includes 63 exclusive regions for DreamGrid owners. I licensed these from the creators, and collections are copyrightable. The most popular Public OARS are at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=OAR- and sorted by popularity are IARS at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=IAR- I have many more to upload still.

I do not have access to any of your assets, backups, OARS, IARS, or any personal data. My servers periodically crawl the web looking for Opensim servers from publicly available sources such as my visitor lists, the data I publish and from Hypergrid Business.

DreamGrid goes back to 2011, when it was called DreamWorld. I didn't always track much back then and periodically flushed the database. Since 2018 (6 years) , there have been 5,180 distinct DreamGrid instances. People created 12,280 different grids with it. and 3,378 were online in 2024. In that same time period of six years, I've located 2,935 standard grids. In 2024 alone, there were 2,762 unique DreamGrids online.

Sl has 18,326 private estates, which are equivalent to the 12,334 regions in Dreamgrid. However, we have much larger regions, the equivalent of 73,341 SL regions. An SL region costs $349 to set up, and $209 a month to rent (not own). The first year, one region costs $2,857, the second year $2508.

When you compare DreamGrid with the SL private estates, we've collectively saved $209,535,237 in the first year, and $183,939,228 per year after that.
