Hello!

We are making a change for regions that are closed to group access only. While it is allowed to list your region here (if it is hypergrid-accessible), your region must be assigned to the category "Group Access/Private". You can go to your region's page to change that category.

The regions that are group-only will be marked with a [G] in the beacon and in the website listings

Bald ist es soweit - noch einmal schlafen, dann startet - wie jedes Jahr - der Adventskalender auf Eternal Ice.
Alle Geschenke sind von ihrem jeweiligen Tag bis zur Entfernung des Adventskalenders erhältlich- es gibt also keinen Zeitdruck, jeden Tag nach dem Kalender sehen zu "müssen", um kein Geschenk zu verpassen ...
* * *
Soon it will be time - sleep once more, then - like every year - the advent calendar on Eternal Ice will start.
All gifts are available from their respective day until the Advent calendar is removed- so there is no need to check the calendar every day to not miss a gift....

Winter is here, Yay! Well, yay for some :).
I have a new release today, fairly whimsical; Polar Bear Ceiling Lights. They were made as ceiling lights and they are resizable. I did a large version separately as the automatic light script had to be adjusted for the life size bears.
There are automatic and manual light scripts in the regular size lights, you can delete the auto script in the large ones and put in the manual if you like.
I have a couple of more ideas for the bears that will be out soon.
Have a beary nice day!

GOODBYE MY FRIEND MALDRUL SMITH
The following is a clip from the Facebook Announcement concerning the IRL passing of our dear friend Maldrul Smith who DJ'd every event we had on our grid with very few exceptions. He was greatly loved by all of us and will be just as greatly missed. So many of us are stunned by this news but we pray for his family and friends that they may find comfort and peace. Maldrul was a dear, sweet soul who always found a way to cheer people up and was loyal to his friends. I just cannot say enough good about him.
*************************************
Our wonderful friend and amazing DJ-Maldrul Smith has passed away IRL. With heavy hearts, we are sharing that George passed away on June 25, 2026, at 2:05 p.m. CST.
George was a loving father, devoted husband, proud Air Force veteran, and a strong provider and protector for his family. He had a deep love for technology and computer science, and he shared that knowledge and curiosity with his daughters throughout their lives.
While our family is grieving this heartbreaking loss, we find comfort in knowing that George is now reunited with his beloved wife, Charlotte. They were married for 51 years and are now together in eternity.
Thank you to everyone who loved George, shared memories with him, and supported our family. Your prayers, kindness, and words of comfort mean so much during this difficult time. (If you would like to respond to this you can go to Facebook and look up " Maldrul Smith" and there you can send the family your thoughts and comforting words.) https://www.facebook.com/maldrul.smith

There are people in every community who give everything and ask for nothing in return. In the OpenSimulator metaverse, Fred Beckhusen — known to thousands by his avatar name Ferd Frederix — is that person. An engineer, programmer, 3D artist, world-builder, and open source advocate, Fred has spent nearly two decades quietly making OpenSim easier, richer, and more welcoming for everyone who enters it. His tools run on grids around the world. His scripts are embedded in regions he will never visit. His generosity has shaped the virtual lives of people he has never met.

She created avatars, clothing, buildings, animations, textures and entire regions.
She gave every last one of them away. No strings. No license fees. No DMCA.
Universities used her work. Hospitals used her work. You used her work.
Anthropic's Claude AI searched the entire public record.

In twenty years, nobody threw her a party.
This demands long overdue gratitude.

We shall honor her with an ENTIRE SEASON since nobody else cares to.

For many years, OSGrid has been held together by a community of people who show remarkable dedication. They build, create, donate, volunteer, and continue returning even after setbacks that would have driven most communities away. That level of loyalty is rare, and it speaks to the heart of what OSGrid has always represented: a place built by its users, for its users.

But with every major outage, that same loyal community pays the highest price. People lose assets, regions, inventories, and countless hours of work. They rebuild from scratch, not because they have to, but because they believe in the grid and the people behind it. Each time, they hope the stability will improve. Each time, they trust that the next chapter will be better than the last.

And yet, here we are again.

No one denies that OSGrid operates on a scale larger than most OpenSim environments. No one dismisses the complexity or the volunteer effort behind the scenes. But dedication is a two‑way street. When a community repeatedly invests their time, creativity, and emotional energy into a grid, it becomes increasingly difficult to ask them to simply “be patient” after losing everything again.

The truth is simple:
People are not frustrated because they don’t care — they are frustrated because they care deeply.

They want OSGrid to succeed.
They want stability worthy of the loyalty they’ve shown.
They want to feel that their work, their creations, and their memories are safe.

This isn’t about blame.
It’s about acknowledging the emotional and practical impact on the very people who keep OSGrid alive. Respecting the community means recognizing that repeated asset loss is more than a technical inconvenience — it’s a breaking point for many.

The community has proven their commitment time and time again.
It’s fair to hope that the grid’s infrastructure will one day show the same level of commitment back.

Do you get confused converting grid times to your local time?
The Grid Time Converter makes it easy.

Use the < > buttons to set the grid hour (outer numbers) adjacent to your local hour (inner numbers) and that's it.

For example: In the picture above (GMT)
10am Grid Time = 6pm Local

This is for anyone who hasn't seen this beautiful video by Kimm Starr of the last set of Luna Lunaria's Memorial. Thank you, Kimm, for making such a lovely tribute to our dear friend. Have your Kleenex handy.
Also, we are raising funds to name a star for Luna, so when we look up at the night sky, perhaps we will get a glimpse of Luna dancing in the shimmer between the stars. Thank you, everyone, for donating and coming together as a community. I love you all!

Meet our newest recruit at Desolate Expanse — a small bot with a big heart… and absolutely zero sense of responsibility.
He “decorated” his corner with pink paint, insists it was art, and now refuses to give the brush back.

He may be clumsy, slightly radioactive, and emotionally unstable (the good kind), but he’s the perfect companion if you like chaos with a pastel aesthetic.

Come visit him, give him a pat, or take him home before he repaints the entire region.
Adopt a bot. Save your walls. Maybe.

We regret to announce an important update to our Terms of Service.
Due to recent incidents involving inappropriate and pedophilic behavior, BloodMoon Grid has decided to permanently prohibit child-like avatars on the grid.

We understand that this measure may seem unfair to some users who used such avatars purely for creative or innocent purposes.
However, our top priority is and will always remain the protection and safety of our residents, as well as full compliance with applicable laws.

We sincerely thank everyone who understands the necessity of this decision, and we apologize to those affected despite their responsible and harmless use.

Saddle up and ride into something truly special. This FREE Stagecoach has 4-person seated capacity - so bring friends, a shotgun and come take a copy.

I've added five new timed trial runs at the Outworldz New Silver Stirrup Stables at https://opensimworld.com/hop/94167

This beautiful region was custom made by Joe Builder, and reworked by Fred and Marianna to jump, race, and count coup on your mortal enemies (score fake internet points and brag/spam in the chatbox).

You may also pick up the Stagecoach at Spirit of Dreams at Three Hills Grid at Spirit of Dreams: https://opensimworld.com/hop/93661. Marianna has a special tribute to her and my ancestors. Take a horse or coach and head toward the Windwalker in the sky and jump over the large log.

Not So Naughty store is back!
A store specialized in quality adult content.

For now it only contains old items made on Sacrarium grid, hence the store setup which looks quite empty. Follow the Old stuff signs to find them.
But I wish I have time to build new stuff, so stay tuned by joining the group.

Don't hesitate to click on the hostess to get a quick history of this store.

Fantastic news, everyone! Adani and I have been absolutely buzzing, working hard to completely repair those tricky color HUD problems that popped up on the Xengine grids in the Legacy region! I've just finished replacing all the scripts, and I'm so thrilled to say we're officially reopening the area! If you happen to run into any little issues at all, please don't hesitate to give me a shout, and I'll be right there to fix it up for you as quickly as I possibly can. Oh, and to all the guys out there – I know I don't have a huge amount of men's wear ready just yet, but I've put everything I have out for you, and I'm beyond excited to announce that the men's side of the Legacy region is now OPEN!

Picked up the lovely Celia avatar from Agartha just for the gown, which is gorgeous just with the regular textures. But I couldn't resist adding the gold pbr textures you see here. The dress is no transfer, so I can't give away a copy, but I put out a box in the lobby at Lunaria Emporium with the materials and textures I created for it. You can find it near the group joiner next to a viking outfit, both are free and full perm to use how you like.

You can find the original Celia avatar here: hop://agartha.ovh:8002/Agartha/218/57/1514
You can find Lunaria Emporium here: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Lunaria Emporium - Main Store

Watching the falcon close up in the shop, I found too many glitches and uglies, so.....Peregrin 2.0: remapped the mesh, remastered the textures, improved rig...
You gotta love a challenge☺.
It's painstaking time-consuming, so, making the anims now for the ready birdie.....takes some more ♫ time, patience is the key.

April 30th. So much to celebrate today.

My fifth rezday. Juno's fourth rezday.

World Jazz day, much to Juno's delight (unfortunately, I guess nobody played jazz in OpenSim tonight).

And, much to Juno's delight again, the day before yesterday was officially the 100th anniversary of art déco.

So not only did Juno put on one of her Kaydi Rose art déco gowns again, but she took me to what has to be the most art déco place all over the Hypergrid for this photo shooting.
