causing some drama.... look, Opensim is based on avatars whether that be dog, dragon, dinke, or anime , "who you want to be"... so my question to you ... does that mean family, significate others or what??? Me. myself, I want a family ... we are a "G" grid, so far I have an older sister and a twin brother.... IDK, i think it's kewl... what are your thoughts?

=== ENGLISH VERSION ===

Hello friends and fans of Stark Islands!

We are glad to tell you after 9 months of absence that we are back and will be releasing a new and optimized version of Stark Islands in the near future!

We have had some time to think through the concept and the technical foundation. The huge (server-)workload of Stark Islands was one of the biggest issues we had to fight with in the past. To offer you a better experience, we've made some important changes and are working on other important details. New Stark is the same size as before (though it may expand in time) but split in 4 different regions on different servers to reduce the workload per server.
The region will have a new footprint, based on the old main island, and the best of old Stark you will find in the new version too. We reduce prims, meshes and scripts as much as possible without changing the soul of Stark Islands. This all means a lot of work and we will need some time, though as you all know, a sim will never be finished.
When we think, the sim is in an acceptable state, we will open the gates!

We're thrilled to bring you this announcement today and hope you're as excited as we are, so stay tuned for further updates!

Wishing you a happy Easter 2022!

With love, pride and respect and all the values that make Stark great.

Mathilda and Niki


=== DEUTSCHE VERSION ===

Hallo Freunde und Fans von Stark Islands!

Wir freuen uns, euch nach 9 Monaten Abwesenheit mitteilen zu können, dass wir zurück sind und in naher Zukunft eine neue und optimierte Version von Stark Islands veröffentlichen werden!

Wir hatten Zeit, um das Konzept und die technischen Grundlagen zu überdenken. Die enorme (Server-)Arbeitsbelastung von Stark Islands war eines der größten Probleme, mit denen wir in der Vergangenheit zu kämpfen hatten. Um euch ein besseres Erlebnis zu bieten, haben wir einige wichtige Änderungen vorgenommen und arbeiten an weiteren wichtigen Details. Das neue Stark hat die gleiche Größe wie zuvor (es könnte sich mit der Zeit aber auch erweitern), ist jedoch in 4 verschiedene Regionen auf verschiedenen Servern aufgeteilt, um die Arbeitslast pro Server zu reduzieren.
Die Region wird einen neuen Grundriss haben, basierend auf der alten Hauptinsel, aber das Beste von Alt-Stark werdet ihr auch in der neuen Version finden. Wir reduzieren Prims, Meshes und Skripte so weit wie möglich, ohne die Seele von Stark Islands zu verändern. Das alles bedeutet viel Arbeit und wir werden einige Zeit brauchen und wie ihr alle wisst, wird eine Sim niemals fertig sein.
Aber wenn wir denken, dass die Sim in einem akzeptablen Zustand ist, öffnen wir die Tore!

Wir freuen uns sehr, euch heute diese Ankündigung machen zu können und hoffen, dass ihr genauso aufgeregt seid wie wir!

Also seid gespannt für weitere Updates!

Wir wünschen euch frohe Ostern 2022!

Mit Liebe, Stolz und Respekt und all den Werten, die Stark so großartig machen.

Mathilda und Niki

Close to both Tokyo and Mount Fuji the small town of Hakone holds something of a revelation. However, unless you are from Japan, you may well not have heard of it. The town plays host to a large open air museum where the works of many famous artists are held - outdoors. It balances art and nature in harmony. The artworks, combined with the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains give the visitor an unforgettable experience. Now recreated in OpenSim for all those missing travelling in Real Life.

New release today. Something for the garden, at least we can have virtual spring ;)

This one is a victorian-ish garden gazebo.
It has several versions that's aren't all on display at the shop since the gazebo is pretty large. There are 2 metal choices, 2 clematis colors, and 2 vine configurations. Textures are inside a version in the box and an enclosed notecard has all the info.
The vines and the chandeliers are separate objects so they are optional for those who just want the structure.

Have a lovely day!

** PETUNIAS LOG PLANTER ** New release - Available for FREE and FULL PERM at FLORA, GARDEN SECTOR, BOX 01.
- 5 different flowers and seasons included.
- Scripted version also available - use a single script to change colors/seasons using one single script! Even if rezing a hundred of these log planters!
Enjoy :)

Free Ginger Dinkie included sweet full Butterfly outfit, now available at Dinkietown.

ATTENTION: Needful Things is currently being revised!

Planned are:
- Reduction of (rezzed) meshes & scripts
- Extension of the store buildings by 2 floors
- Revision of the interiors

Most freebies (even the older ones, e.g. clothing for standard avatars, Selea Core Stuff, etc.) will remain. The location of the stores will also remain largely the same, only the buildings itselves will be redeveloped.

The rebuild is a longer-term project (120 houses to modify!), so Needful Things will remain open to visitors. It is expressly warned against construction lag and falling prims during this time ;)
* * *
ACHTUNG: Needful Things wird zur Zeit überarbeitet!

Geplant sind:
- Reduzierung von (gerezzten) Meshes & Skripten
- Erweiterung der Shop-Gebäude um 2 Etagen
- Überarbeitung der Inneneinrichtungen

Die meisten Freebies (auch die älteren, z.B. Kleidung für Standardavatare, Selea Core Stuff, etc.) bleiben erhalten. Auch die Lage der Shops bleibt weitgehenst erhalten, nur die Gebäude werden kernsaniert.

Bei 120 Häusern auf der Sim ist der Umbau ein längerfristiges Projekt, daher bleibt die Region durchgehend für Besucher offen. Vor Bau-Lag und herunterfallenden Prims in dieser Zeit wird ausdrücklich gewarnt ;)

Merry Xmas everyone!

hello
merry christmas
happy new year

AREA 3

HG Houses with Snow Control - NEW @ Needful Things

I added to all my HG Winter Prefabs a Snow Control Panel, so you can switch between summer / winter with just one click.
Most of these houses got a Light Control Panel, too.

p.s.: More modificated HG prefabs will coming soon in "Need a new Home?" store - opposite to the Bank of Needful Things.

* * *

HG Häuser mit Schnee-Menü - NEU @ Needful Things

Ich habe meinen Winterhäusern mit Schneedach, die ich über die Jahre im HG aingesammelt habe, einen Schnee-Kontroll-Schalter hinzugefügt, so dass man mit nur einem Klick zwischen Sommer- / Winterstyle wechseln kann.
Ebenso haben die meisten der Häuser einen Lichtschalter zum Kontrollieren der Lampen bekommen.

p.s.: Mehr modifizierte HG Häuser (ohne Schnee^^) folgen nach und nach in den neuen Shop "Need a new Home?" - gegenüber der Bank von Needful Things.

New release today. I was intending to make these flowers for a while and finally did them. Day Lilies and "Tiger" Lilies. In my garden, the flowers I call Tiger Lilies are really just larger Day Lilies. The real Tiger Lilies are different, I know, but I named them as I knew them :).

A more Tolkien-esque upgrade to WesLorien: new waterfalls and some housing mods. Enjoy. (Edit on 2021Oct31: swapped the picture with a better composed one)

Arkham Grid was born without an internal community project, players can't register, so I knew the difference. Not knowing and not having friends. This has not happened, I have more friendships now than in many years of Opensim, many come to greet, to talk, or to listen to me. I am very happy, there is a lot to do in this grid, my next project is to open land for residents "Arda", I am ready to host friends in my house.
I thank all the people who have always chosen Arkham, thank you for your friendship, and for creating a great community in the grid.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!

News!!! Meet the Fanny Pack Bear – cute, cheeky, and full of surprises!
This mischievous little stowaway comes in 4 adorable colors and includes a HUD packed with customization options. But don’t let his innocent look fool you – he loves to dig around in your bag and toss out whatever he finds! Sometimes it’s harmless, sometimes it’s hilarious… and sometimes it’s utterly embarrassing.

You never know what he’ll pull out next, and that’s half the fun! Whether he’s just being adorable or causing playful chaos, this bear guarantees endless laughs (for you and everyone watching).

Take him with you and discover what unexpected trouble he gets into – because with this bear, your fanny pack is never just a fanny pack!

Oh my gosh Dorena, I have been hurt so deeply, I have had terrible betrayals. My childhood was not easy or perfect. In fact, because I try to be kind, I have been used and taken advantage of. I could be like those who have hurt me. I chose to heal. To be better than them.
Star Ravenhurst 3 minutes ago
Understood Dorena. (((HUGS)))
Dorena Verne 5 minutes ago
I'm so happy for you that you've never been hurt so much that you can love everyone, Star.
Essence 7 minutes ago
Yeah, lets move on, I already went through that evil bitches friends list and blocked every scumbag in it including her...
Star Ravenhurst 8 minutes ago
Dorena, I can only control myself and how I react to things. I choose love every single time. And underneath all of that love, trust me when I tell you, I am doing what I can to make things better here. But the reality is, it wont be until the next election that real change can be made. I hope.

And if we as citizens are not qualified to recognize this and act, who else is?
Dorena Verne 13 minutes ago
Sure, they're free to think and do whatever they want. Unfortunately, I understand you, Star... I understand how you feel about it. I have to accept it, for better or for worse..
Star Ravenhurst 14 minutes ago
I love this planet and ALL the people on it. Regardless of their politics, religion, etc. For world peace, we HAVE to find a common ground and start caring more about people. Sadly my government is not doing that. All the crap going on there is wrong. Period.

quick to get into other's business or hate them because their politics differ. I dont agree with most politics these days, but I wont hate someone because of how they believe. I am not their judge and all of it is so complicated, I am not qualified to discuss it in depth.
Star Ravenhurst 18 minutes ago
It is all important Dorena. All of it. Why are you arguing with me? I understand your viewpoint, I do. But I also understand other people as well. So they want to erect a memorial, it is no skin off your back or mine. That is one of the problems in the world is people are too

As long as he doesn't hurt you "physically"? Even though he called for it in his own way? Besides, are emotional injuries unimportant, Star?
