One-destination hypergate available at the store. Set it to any destination on your region, your grid, or on the hypergrid. Click the Egyptian sign in the lobby to get to the display. This photo is unretouched, taken using the new midday setting. To see it this way in world, use the latest Firestorm viewer 7.1.11 then activate the left-side mirror options in the graphics settings. Original gold textures will be seen if using the older FS 6.6.17 viewer and I recommend using shared environment in that case, since the old default midday will yield the poorest results.

"You know a kind word never goes unheard...but too often goes unsaid." It is interesting how much wisdom we can learn from, just by truly hearing the words to songs like this classic 1980's country hit from The Oak Ridge Boys...so everyone please remember to take a kind word into the street, and share it with everybody you meet....Everyday! :D

You know a smile never goes out of style
So brighten up the one that you wear.
Let it shine and you just might find
You’ll lighten up the load that you bear.

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world

It seems like the least we can do,
Just take that smile into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

Everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

You know a kind work never goes unheard
But too often goes unsaid.
And on the tongue of the old and the young
It’s swallowed up with pride instead.

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do
Just take a kind word into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

Everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, yer
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

If they’re lost I want to show them the sunshine
If they look tossed I want to throw them a lifeline.
I want the reach out my hand, (reach out) yer (a hand to hold)
Oh yeah, and let ’em know (let ’em know)
There’s a light (that there’s light) down at the end of the road.

If they’re lost I want to (show them the sunshine)
If they’re tossed I want to (throw them a lifeline).

Well everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, mmm
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

Everyday, everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, yer
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
And everyday (everyday) [fading]

Phantom Rose friends... The grid is going to be down until Feb. I am traveling on a "once in a life time" trip with my husband. I am beyond excited. Since I host my own server, I have to shut down. Being out of the country for that long, there is no way for me to keep Phantom Rose safe and healthy. When I travel in the US, I am able to use my remote link to do many things, but for safety, I have decided to shut down the grid for the duration of my travels. I assure you, Phantom Rose WILL be back! Hopefully, better than ever. I have been running 24/7 since 2019 and I am looking forward to another 5 years in the Opensim Metaverse! Thank you all for your support and I will see you in February 2025!

Old concrete walls exude a rugged charm, their surfaces marked by time and the elements. Pitted with irregular holes, these imperfections create a textured landscape that catches the light in interesting ways. Stains of various hues—rusty browns, faded greens, and deep grays—tell stories of weathering and wear, as moss and lichen cling stubbornly to the cracks. The rough, mottled surface feels cool to the touch, while the air carries a faint, earthy scent of dampness and age. Each blemish and discoloration adds character, transforming the wall into a canvas of history, where every mark holds a memory of its past.

Lassen euch dieses unvergessliche Halloween-Erlebnis nicht entgehen !

As you step into the Witchy Woods, an otherworldly hush envelops you, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and ancient pine. Gnarled branches twist overhead, their silhouettes dancing against the pale light filtering through the canopy. Shafts of sunlight pierce the gloom, illuminating patches of vibrant moss and clusters of mushrooms that seem to glow with an ethereal light.

The path winds deeper into the heart of the woods, where shadows play tricks on your senses. You catch fleeting glimpses of movement—a flicker of a tail, a flash of feathers—as woodland creatures slip between the trees, their presence both comforting and eerie. The sound of a distant brook murmurs like a secret, drawing you further into the labyrinth of nature.

Every step reveals more of the woods’ haunting beauty. Delicate webs glisten with dew, suspended like jewels between the branches, while the soft rustle of leaves carries whispers of forgotten tales. Twisted roots snake across the forest floor, inviting you to pause and consider the stories they hold, as if the very ground is alive with memories.

A sense of magic hangs in the air, tangible and electric, making the hairs on your arms stand on end. The woods feel like a realm where time bends, a place where the mundane slips away and the mysterious reigns. You can almost hear the soft strains of an unseen melody, a lullaby sung by the woods themselves, beckoning you to lose yourself in their enchanting embrace. As twilight deepens, the shadows stretch and flicker, transforming the landscape into a dreamscape, where every rustle and sigh feels like a promise—of secrets waiting to be uncovered, of wonders yet to be revealed.

The Haunted Halloween Isles are a series of islands created by Zuzu Bahro and Safine Mahoe for your Halloween fun!


Zombie Hunt - This year the Zombies want revenge at the hunters from previous years and have set traps amongst the barren, desolate ruins and lava pools. You begin to panic as you suddenly realize these are not simply mindless creatures, but a remnant of humanity that had retained a dark intelligence. You will not get out alive!

Pumpkin Patch- This Island offers the vibrant autumn colors and a huge assortment of pumpkins and fall decorating ideas for you. Enjoy the scenic walk as the red, and golden leaves fall from the trees. You will find pumpkins and Jack o lanterns of every size and shape.


Friends Castle - Explore all the rooms in this historic castle and find the exciting adult spots with your partner. Later, you can head up to the towers to enjoy shooting the pirates village with cannons. Right click on the cannons, Mount and then click each cannon in the battery. The targets will explode when enough damage occurs.


Haunted Forest - The forest is beautiful, but the other worldly creatures have turned it into a place that will give you nightmares! You will find some fun adult spots in the haunted forest if you dare!



Friendsville Cemetery - A beautiful little peaceful village situated on an island . The scenery is charming with the church, lighthouse and much more; however, something is mysterious at the cemetery.


Ghost Town - This ancient port town has been taken over by ghosts! Under the town is a huge 3 level cave complex for the brave explorers. Make your way outside to the Gardens of Ghosts and use midnight setting

Witchy Woods - you will follow the winding path through the woods and up the mountain to reach the coven of witches. At the mountain top home you will find a whole community of witches as well as huds.



*Please realize we have allowed sharing on many of the items; but a few items we cannot.

Want your own doomsday server? Imagine having all of wikipedia downloaded to a hard drive with a program that can search and display articles. Kiwix for desktop (freeware) can do it. It even has download links under 'All Files' to d/l the wikipedia database for you making it painless. Not only that but you can download a bunch of other wiki's too. Imagine having maps of the world. Or a doomsday prep wiki. TedTalk videos. Audio books wiki. etc.
https://kiwix.org/en/applications/ - by the way, it runs on linux/mac/windows/android.

Lost Castles... There are many "popular" castles being circulated in world. But years ago I saw several gigantic castles that were incredibly well done and beautiful that appear to be lost to time. They were not seen anywhere else. One was a white elven castle that was super huge and extremely beautiful. Another was a grey stone castle with exquisite interior and very well designed rooms. The third lost castle was a dark castle with many rooms. It's sad these castles were lost to time as the creators eventually logged off taking their beautiful creations with them where they are no longer seen in todays entirety in-world. Very very sad. The creators were expert builders and their designs were the stuff of legend. Now they may sit on an old hard drive in someones attic somewhere, or perhaps they deleted them in a michael-angelo type fit of rage. No one knows. If you know of any of these castles can you please post their location onto this post, and I will tell you if that is one of them or not.

Creation City is the new addition to Builds Ahoy.

Based on beauty and enjoyment, we will be adding to this part of BA over the month of September, bringing you even more here to partake of in your shopping trip!

Cocky Clocks
This first set includes dark and light models. In addition to the clock hands moving, a certain *ahem* something ticks away the time for you. Click to adjust the time difference and try to enjoy, just not too much.

Additional cocky clocks are on their way, just need a bit of time to finish them up.

Pickup is at the OSW Exclusive gift area, located below. If you have issues arriving there directly, you can use the OSW door to your left once arriving in the subway to access the exclusive area.
