Bring your horse to meet Smokey!
We know there are a lot of horse lovers in opensim. One of the biggest challenges to horse owners is having large, beautifully landscaped areas to ride. the second challenge is having ridable trails over uneven terrain. It sounds simple, but can sometimes make a person say bad words when building it. then you also have issues of will the horses physics work on the uneven terrains.
At friends grid we offer the amazing horses from my friend,Roland Francis, and we have two totally different trails for you to enjoy. Now, you can now bring your own horse!
Friends Stables - Enjoy a ride which will take you through the beautiful stable area with ocean views, continue on to the working friends farm. and then ride over the mountains and into the beautiful rainforest! There are many different trail options here.

Friends Mall - this is a beautiful easy trail located in back of the mall. This is a simple trail...you cannot get lost. You will ride along the landscaped path viewing the ocean and gradually climb high into the mountains.

If you don't have a horse, feel free to use my horses. After you enjoy riding these wonderful creations by Roland Francis, you can go to my store and get your own horses.

New release of v3.2 the animesh horse script (can be worn or rezzed as vehicle) and optimized it for PBR viewer compatibility. I did some efforts to make the script more ubOde friendly (yes, with room for improvement) and the horse now has many new features for you to play with.

What is this little island?
Dreams
This little island can help people live their virtual dreams:
terraforming
building
landscaping
yes...this island is Dreams
approx 1 sim in size,
water is connected to entire grid for amazing sailing
10,000 prim
rent free!
However, we are very selective about who we add at friends-grid. We do not want house collectors who get free land on every grid...then never use it. That is a waste of our time and resources.
If you want to make this your main home and be an active part of a growing community , then maybe we should talk.....
about this little island making YOUR dreams come true.

I have often considered my underwater worlds
to be my best build ever. It took 6 months to find things, build
destroy, build, adjust and redo. Much of the time was spent searching.
This week I realized.....the best thing I can do for Opensim
is help all of you build underwater worlds if you wish.
Textures Trees & Scripts
now offers a massive Underwater section!
Hundreds of fish, coral, 5 types of rays, sharks, octopus, anemones, kelp and much more!

Recently I have had a number of people requesting that I allow child avatars at friends-grid and I want to discuss this openly and honestly.
It is not my place to try and push my morals and values upon others....however, as a grid owner, it is my place to learn the laws of every country involved. In this situation, I need to understand the Child pornography laws of not only where our servers are located, but I also had to research and learn the laws of every country we have residents and guests from. We currently have residents from 30 countries and guests from another 35. People who say "laws dont apply " are incorrect on this subject. You may have servers in one country.....but all the laws of your resident's countries come into play also.
A good thing to remember is that because you have gotten away with something for 10 years does not make it legal. You may never get caught....and then again.....somebody with a grudge may turn you in.
I want to point out a recent post by Jerralyn Franzic . Jerralyn showed the cutest childs outfit ever! ....and she also made the wisest statement ...."I don't understand the hatred towards child avis in Open Sim. Sure, they shouldn't engage in adult activities and maybe not hang in Adult sims but otherwise, what's the problem?" Personally I would love to see kids riding ponies at my farm....and having fun being mermaids. If everyone in child avi were to abide by Jerralyn's statement, there would not be an issue.
However, lets talk about reality. Not all child avis are simply riding ponies and playing in the water. The simple truth is that many (not all) of these child avis are having sex. Some grids use this to boost their traffic. In some countries, including US, the graphic illustration of a child online having sex is 100% illegal. You see, it does not matter if the person behind the computer is 12 or 52......the visual computer generated depiction of a child (child avatar) involved in sex is very illegal in a number of countries. 18 U.S.C. § 2252 Many people will say their countries are different....and this is stupid. I did not make laws........but I need to abide by them. Before people jump on this and criticize me ....I would suggest you read the laws of your country....your servers country...and the laws of all your residents or guests. There are many misinformed people on this subject. I am not saying the laws are right or wrong......but learn the laws.....then comment. You need to learn laws for your servers country...and all your guests countries. This post is not about morals......it is about laws....of all the countries involved.
I have spent over 200 hours reading international laws. Some countries allow things that others do not. However, you have to consider all the laws because of guests.
In closing....do I hate kids and kids avis......nooooooo. I would love to be able to allow them to come to friends grid. However, this is a less than perfect world in which we live, and I have to look at the potential liability of allowing those child avis. Because of that, Child avis are not allowed on friends-grid......no exceptions! I am sad....because there are some wonderful people in kids avis that I do not get to have visit.
Friends-grid is an Adult community and we are looking for adults, with adult avi's who want to make this their main opensim home.
It is not my place to try and push my morals and values upon others....however, as a grid owner, it is my place to learn the laws of every country involved.

I collect bricks!

These are the kind of bricks that help
tell a rich story about a buildings past.
but why.......WHY would I collect UGLY BRICKS?

This is the Castle display area at Lunaria Emporium where you can walk through them all. My first attempt at building in SecondLife 15 years ago was a castle and I never looked back. There three available for purchase in different styles and they all have multiple hidden chambers and passages to discover:
The Ceridwen castle, done in a fantasy/fairytale style in a silver and amethyst color palette with a special hidden room below
The Caerwyn Fortress complex, which is a massive, detailed fortress in the Norman / Celtic tradition with realistic 13th century textures. The fortress was inspired by the remains of Harlech Castle located in Harlech, Gwynedd, Wales
The Caerwyn Keep, designed with a smaller footprint in mind
A medieval covered stone bridge to match
There's also a partially finished Camelot Keep that I hope to get back to someday, but it is not currently available. All the castles are available on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?cat=50600&store=13957705 and can be delivered directly to your inventory on your grid.
If you don't mind hypergridding, all venues are 20% off Kitely Market prices if you get them directly from my main store.

This is the main Roman display area, and you can walk through all the Roman structures here. This is one of several display areas at Lunaria Emporium at ground level surrounding the main store. Each area has a theme and has its own EEP sky setting to accentuate it. Make sure you have Shared Environment selected as well as higher graphics to see the shadows and materials.
You can reach this area by clicking the Roman sign in the lobby on the left side, or by taking the bridge, hopping a boat, or flying.

For the last 3 weeks, I have dealt with a intermittent issue on my grid that has about driven me nuts. I have tested, and eliminated possibilities …..without luck.
Yesterday two of the largest grid owners in open sim, Lone Wolf from Wolf Territories and Josh Boam from Aviworlds, took time from their busy schedules to help finally fix this issue. In addition , Rafael from Wolf Territories assisted. I cannot say thanks enough!
Although I work with Josh’s hosting business, this involved much more. Josh would not give up and recruited Lone Wolf.
In my opinion, maybe this is what opensim was designed to be: sharing of knowledge and helping each other.
Lone Wolf and Josh did not have to give up their time to help a tiny grid…..but they did!
Maybe we can all learn from these individuals!
Sharing knowledge is Caring
FYI. The default setting of 2 threadsets can cause major headaches depending on your region….it is way too low in some cases. You all probably know that…but I learned.

Why are people moving to friends-grid?
It’s not because of the 4 new race tracks opened at our Velocidad region.
It’s not because we have the largest, most detailed underwater build in open sim.
It’s not because the sailing here is soo fun and challenging.
It’s not because they heard about the new Friends Mall & Skatepark….opening in February.
It’s not because of our one of a kind Casino…an experience like no other!
It’s not because of the super fast servers
It’s not because of the amazing and rare horses found at our stables.
No, those things are nice
But they are not why people are moving to friends-grid
The secret is out
And word has been spreading fast!
People are moving to friends-grid
Because of our amazing residents!
That’s right……
The reason people are moving to friends-grid is
The PEOPLE.
Our community has people from all over the world…..
But we all speak the language of friendship….and we find ways to communicate and learn about each other’s culture.
We presently have a couple islands still available and we are looking for people who want to be a part of this amazing international community. There is no rent charged on these islands and they offer 10,000 prim.
We do not want everybody, but we want a few awesome people to make our community even better!

I decided to make a change sooner than I had planned. I want to improve user experience….. so friends-grid now has dual servers.
I am also putting together a schedule of when I will be restarting every region on a weekly basis and I will post it here.

Good morning everyone, I wanted to let you know of some expanded duties here. Zuzu has been wanting to be more involved and help more at friends grid. With the help of Serina, we have devised a position that basically Zuzu is going to be the "Hostess" or "Ambassador" for the area. Of course we are all Ambassadors...but Zuzu is going to do a little bit more. In addition, Zuzu is making some "trial homes" for people to use if considering moving here. This is a huge help to me and the grid! Please help me congratulate Zuzu when you see her....and send her any and all names of people who may be interested. Also, if you are online and notice a guest....of course, welcome them as always, but also please let Zuzu know if she is online.
Sailing and flying Tips and border crossings
* most of our residents understand these things, but this is a reminder for others.
* when crossing a border , your best bet is to approach it head on
* avoid places where 3-4 regions come together. Is it possible to cross? Yes, but you will have a much higher rate of crashing. This is not just at friends grid….. it is anywhere. The intersection of 4 regions is asking for trouble . A good example of this is the intersection of Holo Ana, Saba, Clearwater and Friends regions. Is this the “Bermuda triangle “ on a faulty grid? No….. it is simple physics with your viewer being overloaded with 3-4 regions at once.
* clear all 3 cache weekly. If extreme issues….do a clean Firestorm install and delete all previous hidden Firestorm files.
* if you have repeated crash, relog to where you were last (should be crash site) and make me a lm there. Label your lm something like “Lily crash7-17”. With the lm please send me a note telling me what you were doing or driving. Let me know how many crashes…. If you were tp, what scripts wearing. Also, let me know graphics settings. You see, I want to help, but I need detailed information to research. Is it possible we have a lost boat that is sending script errors……hell yes…..it can happen…..and it is ugly! We could have a region that has become corrupt. Or we could simply have firestorm viewer issues. It is my job (and my team) to determine what kind of issue we have, based on the information you provide me.
* I work day and night to keep things running smoothly. My pet peeve is people who complain without providing me with documentation. One step worse is complaining in group chat instead of giving me the info I need. A negative attitude spreads quickly. Let’s keep things positive!
* realize that most, if not all, bug splats are Firestorm viewer issue. It is a well none glitch, but not an easy one to fix. We hope the next version of firestorm will have this glitch worked out…..but realize we are talking about a totally free product.
* if you still have issues…. Try a different viewer such as Singularity. For me, I hate Singularity worse than I hate occasional crash….so I use firestorm.
* I can restart and refresh a región when asked, but I want to ask all to do me a favor. Please try the steps I have shown. This is teamwork.
* can you fly or sail anywhere you want? Yes, but realize looking at a map and avoiding some situations will greatly reduce bug splats. If you insist on sailing near the intersections of 3-4 regions, don’t complain when you crash.
I appreciate everyone helping me with this!
