The ALIFE VIRTUAL grid web page tells you how to create an AV on this grid. Then it instructs you to down load the ALIFE VIRTUAL Firestorm viewer. Which should be your first warning sign. Instead, I got the grid address from the Hypergrid Business list of active grids and was able to log in using the official Firestorm viewer. (Because I'm not an idiot). Upon arrival oin the grid, you are informed that your library contains nothing. Nothing. You are an orange cloud. You have to purchase a $10 grid currency starter AV. Fine. You are given $100 grid currency to start. In the future? Who knows. But I'm not going to buy free stuff, even if the grid money is free. So I tried to TP to other grids. It's not possible to TP to OSG, or any other grid. You are trapped there. If you want stuff, you buy it in-grid.

I'm informed by a reliable source that residents build on their free region, then they are kicked and the grid owner takes everything the residents have created. No, you do not want to be lured by a "free region" only to become a victim of this scam.

might want to tell people your grid is NOT hyperlinked. which is odd considering your posting on a site that promotes hypergrid linked grids!
