# Established RP & Creative Group Looking for a New OpenSim Home
We are a german, established and creative RP group currently exploring options for a new long-term home within the OpenSim community.
Our project has grown into much more than a single RP region. Over time, we have developed our own themed worlds, roleplay areas, shops, architecture and a wide range of original content. This includes an extensive Arabian-inspired RP shop, as well as additional shops and themed areas.
Our worlds are open to visitors and can be explored. Interested Grid owners are very welcome to visit and get a personal impression of our project, architecture, themed environments and RP atmosphere. We believe that seeing what we have created for yourself is much more meaningful than simply describing it.
## What we are looking for
We are looking for a **stable, reliably maintained and technically future-oriented Grid** where our project can continue to develop over the long term.
Some of the things that are particularly important to us are:
* A current and actively maintained OpenSim version
* **PBR support**
* A reliable and functioning money/transaction system
* Support for 0 T$ transactions
* Reliable backups and secure server infrastructure
* An accessible Grid owner or reliable support team
* A stable environment suitable for long-term RP
* Sufficient freedom to develop and manage our own themed worlds
* Ideally, the possibility of transferring our existing regions and original content
### Our current technical situation
One of the reasons we are currently exploring our options is the technical situation in our present Grid.
During the past several months, we have experienced recurring server-related problems. At the same time, some important updates are now missing, including updates required for features we need for the further development of our project – particularly **PBR**.
Our shops are also affected.
The shops use the standard OpenSim transaction system. Although the items offered are free, their delivery is technically handled through a **0 T$ transaction**. These transactions are currently no longer working reliably because of the existing technical problems.
Based on what we currently understand, this appears to be very likely related to a server update that has been outstanding for quite some time.
For us, this situation has demonstrated how important a **properly maintained and technically up-to-date Grid infrastructure** is for the long-term development of an RP project.
## What we bring
We are **not simply looking for land**.
We bring an established RP community, our own themed worlds, shops, original architecture and a considerable amount of creative content.
Our worlds can be made publicly accessible and are therefore not intended exclusively for our own group. Visitors can explore our themed areas, experience our architecture and discover our shops and other content.
We see this not simply as finding a place for our group, but as an opportunity to bring **additional content and unique themed environments** to an existing Grid.
Our goal would be a **long-term partnership** from which both sides can benefit.
## Why we are not looking to create our own Grid
Some people might reasonably ask why, given our need for land, we do not simply rent a server and create our own Grid.
For us, this is a conscious decision.
From our own experience in Second Life, we have seen how easily RP communities can become fragmented when more and more people create their own separate worlds.
A single region can be beautifully designed. But if everyone creates their own RP world and then waits for other people to come and visit, there is a risk that many interesting places will ultimately exist without developing an active community around them.
For us, RP is not primarily about owning land.
**RP lives through people, interaction, stories and a living community.**
We would therefore rather contribute our own worlds, shops, creative content and RP activities to an existing community than create yet another isolated Grid.
We believe that **cooperation can be more valuable than separation**.
Our ideal future would be to find a Grid where our existing project can become part of a larger, active community – while at the same time bringing something unique and valuable to that community ourselves.
**We are not looking for a place simply to put our buildings.**
**We are looking for a place where our worlds can become part of something alive.** 🌍✨
## Why are we looking?
Our current Grid has served us very well in the past, and we have always had a positive and respectful relationship with its owner. We therefore want to make it clear that this is **not intended as public criticism of anyone**.
However, the technical problems have now reached a point where they are affecting our project and its further development. Communication with the Grid administration has also become increasingly difficult.
We therefore need to consider how we can ensure the long-term future of our project.
**No final decision about leaving our current Grid has been made at this point.**
We would first like to explore the possibilities within the OpenSim community and speak with potentially suitable Grid owners and administrators.
If you are a Grid owner or administrator and believe that our project could be a good fit for your Grid, we would be very happy to hear from you.
Interested Grid owners are warmly invited to visit our existing themed worlds and see our work for themselves.
We are open to discussing region size, location, costs, migration of existing content and different forms of long-term cooperation.
**We are looking for a place where both sides can contribute, create and grow together.**
Thank you to the OpenSim community – we look forward to discovering what possibilities the future may bring. Greetings from Nojan and the Noozaara RP Team.🌊✨
