STARK, an adult themed event sim with a magnificent BDSM Palace, sexual content, and homes for free.
The Stark Islands regions are a place under the rainbow of LOVE, PEACE, PRIDE and RESPECT. A region for all openminded adults, LGBTQIA+ people and friends. The main island has various venues, the other islands are mainly residential areas. Free houses available at our residential sims, but you need a ZetaWorlds avatar to become a resident.

Home of Stark! (magazines). Fixed mags with updated scripts for the latest OpenSim version are now available. The current vendor version is 5/22.
Visit the Stark NORTH DISTRICT too! A lovely shopping and RP area with lots to explore.

We are sad to hear some get auto-ejected. If this happens to you please get in touch with the ZetaWorlds administration. Stark does not prohibit a grid. But for its own protection and that of its customers, the Zetaworlds Grid blocks hypergrid visitors from grids without their own domain, grids with DynDNS addresses and grids without contact details. We ask for your understanding!

WHY WE ARE PART OF THE ZETAWORLDS GRID?
Well, here are 3 of many reasons (quoted from website):
1. CUSTOM CODE
ZetaWorlds builds almost everything we use on top of OpenSimulator ourselves. Our custom version of OpenSimulator, called ZetaSim, brings many new features and enhancements. Keeping a close eye on OpenSimulator development and actively contributing advancements and bugfixes as well.
2. LOAD BALANCED
ZetaWorlds is load balanced for heavy loads. We run multiple instances of the grid services behind load balancers. We use our own custom asset server to manage all load traffic. You will notice the difference.
3. PRIVACY
ZetaWorlds is based in Germany and subject to strict privacy rules, these ensure we will not share any data with others and keep your data secure from prying eyes.

EVENTS
The current event dates can be found at the landing point.
SIM RULES
- Always be respectful.
- Stark is an adult sim with adult content. Your avatar and real age has to be 18+. No child bodies like SMB, Tweenster, KJ, etc. If you are in any doubt whatsoever about your avatar being acceptable on Stark, please ask Mathilda or Niki, thank you. All such decisions must be accepted and abided by.
- Nudity allowed and preferred everywhere.
- Free houses available for ZetaWorlds avatars only.
- You also agree to the grid’s rules and conduct. (https://zetaworlds.com/rules-and-conduct)
ABOUT PROTECTED PARCELS
Our residents own their parcels and have the right to protect their homes. That creates ban lines. Having this decision is a part of freedom for our residents.
The best way to not crash onto the ban lines is by walking or using our teleporters. Having privacy if you need it is part of the concept of Stark, whilst allowing residents the freedom to do as they wish.
OUR RANKS
are based on real numbers and not avatars that are active 24/7 to increase the rank.
STARK ISLANDS IS NON-COMMERCIAL
No money needed at any time.
Have a lot of fun!
Stark Islands - Free your mind!
Another word on ZetaWorlds due to a recent discussion on OSW.
I decided to move Stark to ZetaWorlds some time ago for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I wanted a professional grid hosted by IT professionals who know what they're doing, because I don't want to mess around with all the technical stuff. I just want to build and have fun. So I'm willing to pay for a sim if I get a stable and reliable service in return.
Secondly, if I have to pay for the service, I want to know who is behind the grid. I would never transfer money to an anonymous person. I have no problem with transferring my real data so that the company, which is registered in the commercial register, can issue flawless invoices.
Thirdly, I live in Germany. As a German, I feel better if I can use a German service like ZetaWorlds, which has to adhere to the legal requirements of my country.
In the discussions about grids and how this is handled with hypergrid access, I think they are comparing apples with oranges. A commercial, professionally operated grid has higher challenges to overcome and is obliged to guarantee a flawless service to its paying customers. In contrast, the operator of a private grid, often hosted on his own PC, can do whatever he wants. If it breaks down at some point, that's just the way it is. The tenants are simply out of luck. With a commercial grid, I can demand the service by law. These are two completely different things that are often forgotten.

Welcome to Stark North District!
The Stark North District is more than just an extension to Stark Islands. It's a full new region with the main sim North District plus 2 nice residential sims Archipelago and Causeway and an impressive nature sim called Straits. The main sim North District holds a bunch of shops. There are also some possibilities for nice roleplays.
The North District region is connected directly to Stark Islands, means you can even walk from the Stark Islands main sim to North District by crossing the whole region. Well, if you dont have the time or you are too lazy, you can go by boat or teleporter.
But why I am writing this all? Better you make your own experience and come over to Stark North District.

Grand Opening SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12.

If you are interessted to have your own store there please contact Niki Stark, the region owner.

ANNOUNCEMENT - ANKÜNDIGUNG
[GERMAN VERSION]
Liebe Freunde and Starkies,
was wir heute ankündigen werden, fällt uns nicht leicht. Niki und ich, Mathilda, haben beschlossen, den Betrieb von Stark Islands nach dem 30. Juni 2021 einzustellen.
Wir haben uns viele Gedanken darüber gemacht, unter welchen Voraussetzungen wir Stark hätten weiterlaufen lassen könnten. Aber letztendlich hätte es zu viele Änderungen geben müssen und Stark wäre nicht mehr das gleiche gewesen. Außerdem haben wir uns außerhalb von OpenSim eine neue Aufgabe gestellt. Einerseits bedauern wir, Stark zu schließen, nach all der harten Arbeit, die wir in dieses Paradies investiert haben. Aber wir sind auch sehr stolz darauf, dass wir es bis nach ganz weit oben auf der Liste der beliebtesten Regionen von OSW geschafft zu haben. Das wäre ohne euch, unsere wunderbare Gemeinschaft, nicht möglich gewesen.
Deshalb möchten Niki und ich uns an dieser Stelle bedanken. Danke an alle Starkies für eure Unterstützung und Treue. Danke an unsere DJ’s! Jeder einzelne von Euch hat mit seinen mittlerweile legendären Sets zum Erfolg von Stark beigetragen. Danke an das Zeta Worlds Team, ohne dessen Unterstützung der stabile Betrieb einer solch leistungshungrigen Region wie Stark nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Danke auch an alle Besucher, die jederzeit herzlich willkommen waren und viele nette Kommentare und Likes hinterlassen haben. Wir wünschen euch allen von ganzem Herzen alles, alles Gute!
Für OpenSim wünsche ich mir, dass die Leute, die Grids, viel stärker zusammenarbeiten und nicht gegeneinander. Ihr seid ein Grid! Das Hypergrid! Nur gemeinsam hat OpenSim eine Chance.
Wir werden euch im Auge behalten und vielleicht, irgendwann, sehen wir uns wieder.
In diesem Sinne, lebt wohl!

Comment to the review of MarkZyn at Stark:
Beeing unfriendly to our visitors is not the nature of either me or Niki. You can ask whoever you want, so I guess you never got in contact with us. Child avatars aren't allowed at Stark, but we can't be there the whole time to see who is on. So if you have a problem with something or someone it would be nice if you would have get in contact with me BEFORE you write such an unfair and defamatory review. But I guess that was all you wanted. Your account is brand new and empty, seems to be created just for that reason.

The first time ever in open sim, a magazine dedicated to Hentai in all its glory. This magazine will have you all racing to the store to get many copies. Hehehehehehehe!
It is rude and it is fun so please dont take offence. It is A rated but not malicious or ill meaning.
You can get old or new style vendors containing the whole range of Stark! magazines from the welcome area at Stark Islands.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

After hearing of the sad news that Gertie Bumbtious left us on June 5th, we, Niki Stark (ex-wife of Gertie) and I decided to make a tribute edition of Stark! with some nice photos of Gertie. We will miss Gertie very much with her happy, positive manner and her legendary music sets!
You can get copies of the magazine and the vendors at the Stark landing point as always.
Rest in peace, Gertie!

Finally! After a very long break, a new Stark! magazine has been published.
This issue was again photographed by Nice Minik. This time Nice deals with the thought of what it would be like to be able to see the fantasies of others. A very exciting topic, in my opinion.
You can get this and all other issues published so far from our vending machines in front of the Stark! shop, directly behind and below our Studio 54.
Come and pick up a copy, even of the complete vending machines!

Why there are people they give their avatars names like "Nazi German" and "Adolf Hitler"?
Why they visit a sim like Stark and say they hate gays and threaden people to find them in real and kill them?
Why are people so full of hate?
Why can't they stay away from Stark and let live people their (virtual) life in the way they want?
Lots of questions that I don't have an answer to!
But one thing is absolutely clear for me:
WE DON'T WANT GUYS LIKE YOU HERE AT STARK!
So please stay away and spread your hate somewhere else. Or better: Don't spread it anywhere!
And stop crying in the Stark OSW review section because we banned you several times. We would do it anytime again!

=== 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

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

The new vendors now have magazines with a new script version without OSSL modified by the wonderful Typhaine Artez. Thank you very much, Typhaine!
Get your updated vendor on the landing point at Stark!
Due to the move from Kitely to Zeta Worlds, I am a little late with the March edition. However, it will be delivered shortly. Promised!
See you!

 | Jan Ingalls Probably the friendliest place outside of Disneyland. everyone is focused on making the best experiences possible. Go often and stay forever. |
| | Brassypolo regarding the comment from MarkZyn. This is totally against the fairness of osw, the markzyn account was created solely to leave a damaging comment about stark. it is a faceless, anonymous attack and as sych shoul be reomoved as purely malicious |
 | sweet illusion you honestly couldnt find a nicer group of people! i'm so blessed to have found it |

For the first time my Wolf territories avatar was not able to get in. A shame since this is one of my favorite places on the hypergrid

There is no ban on Wolf Territories. Neither on the sim side, nor on the grid side. So maybe just tp problems?

A pity I didn't get access because my impressum is not acceptable for zeta. I don't want to mention my RL-Adress in the impressum. I don't have to, my grid is private and non commercial. Not only zetaworld has the right to protect their privacy, me too. Have fun, folks. I will survive it :-)

Yes, Copper, "burn us out!" If that's the correct course of action for you simply because you have a personal dislike of ZetaWorlds, then please do. But don't forget that this grid is the chosen home of many OpenSim users for good reasons, who have deliberately chosen a professionally run grid, backed by a company duly registered in Germany, with appropriate legal regulations. In addition, the location Germany offers data protection and privacy, which you will not find in other countries. For all the users of ZetaWorls, "burning out", if only for lack of alternatives, is not very helpful.
The technical justifications for dealing with access restrictions can be read here:

But you also have to do it and understand it!

It wasn't Mattie and Niki who threw you out of Stark.
It was the whole grid, ZetaWorlds, that threw you out at grid owner Vincent Sylvester's behest.
ZetaWorlds doesn't let anyone in from a DreamGrid, it doesn't let anyone in from any grid that uses dynamic DNS (all home-hosted DreamGrids do), it doesn't let anyone in from a grid without a valid imprint that provides some out-of-world admin contact (DreamGrids don't have that).
If you don't believe me, try going elsewhere on ZetaWorlds, and watch your avatar being logged out by force, no matter where on ZetaWorlds you are.

The sim Stark has no access restrictions! I will not change anything just because some german grid administartors are not able to contact the ZetaWorlds administration and clear the reasons for the grid ban. Others have done it too!
