I'm using Midjourney ai to generate most of the patterns for my merch. Even the wall art is AI.

Yeah, still. It's insanity. The woman who owns the server they stuck my region on has been away for a month and no one has any way to reach her, allegedly. Yeah! Etsy is perfect for that.

Moving to OSGrid as soon as I can retrieve my OAR

don't go to OsGrid, they crash a ton and you lose ALL your assets or even inventory! Look into hosting a Dreamgrid, that's what I do. \o/

When I moved to OSGRID, I could not get an OAR so.... I made large linksets of items which could be safely grouped together. I made a notecard with the coordinates of each object. I transferred all items to the OSgrid avatar then copied and pasted all positions and rotations of each item... within an hour or two I had everything in the new location. I used the region control panel to export the RAW file for the terrain I worked so hard on.

I do pay for hosting. My sim apparently is a resource hog, so the IT guy moved it to someone's private server and never told me. The last backup he did was 2 years ago. It's ridiculous.

I purchased a refurbished computer from Amazon for hosting my simulators. The cost of the machine was less than the price of 1 YEAR worth of hosting and it literally paid for itself in less than 6 months. Austin Tate has an excellent tutorial on running your own simulator. I was shocked when I found out just how easy it is to start my own grid. Lots of free info and support out there... Good Luck!

I won't lose it, but thanks. It's just a matter of coordinating with someone who's hardly ever home.

Some people have had that problem, but usually get in on the third try. Keep trying.

Sadly I have tried many more times than that from several different grids too. I will try another day and hope for better luck. Thanks :)

Also try accessing it from a different region, like avitron or kitely.

Reply from our people: "that message just means it is having trouble connecting to the DB. have him go to the Hypergrid sandbox first, then go to your region from there."

Thanks for the reply, I have tried teleporting from many different locations on the HG and your region is the only place that throws up this "unable to verify identity" message. I have never had that message trying to get to any other location.
Some places want you to accept their TOS before they will allow you to enter, so I assumed this was required to enter your region. Hence why I asked you how I verify my identity. Something clearly is not working right somewhere, and if I have to teleport from a specific unspecified region to get there then something is not working properly. Weather that is a problem on my end or on yours I'm unsure. All I know is this only happens when trying to get to your region and nowhere else I have ever been.

It's odd for sure. lots of other people who had issues eventually got in. Do you have a secondary account, like a free Kitely avatar you can try with? You're also welcome to sign up for a free Destiny Grid account. You can use me as a reference. https://destiny-grid.pleasecome.in/sledjchisl.fcgi/account...

It's still a little wonky in places. If anyone know how to make banked turns, let me know. Let me know of any problem spots if you run into them.

Roadwork is progressing nicely. It's about 60% finished. Should be done and reopened by sometime tomorrow. I'm widening the road and removing the draw bridges.

Is this a real profile? You have no info in yours. Not sure if you're just trolling or if you're actually trying to get in. Tell me what Grid is your home and I'll check to see if I can go there.

No one has blocked you. What grid are you based in? I don't see anything on your profile. It's possible that whatever grid you're in, is blocking Destiny-Grid. Without more information I can't help you.

Lorena, I don't know what to tell you. I exist, Avalon Reborn exists, dozens of people have visited this week.

I'm on the Hyper Grid, so you should be able to TP here, although some people are having problems. Some grids may have destiny grid blocked, but usually it's just a connectivity issue and most people get in on the third try. So don't give up.

It's not a fake grid. Everyone else seems to get in. Maybe check to see if your grid is blocking destiny grid?

On the issue of inability to verify identity, this is the reply I got from IT.
"The "Unable to verify identity" means our grid asked their grid to verify they are members of their grid. If their grid isn't listening to us, that fails.
Though if they manage to get through later anyway, likely it's just the usual hypergrid is unreliable. Only thing you can do then is just wait and try again later."

Not sure what the problem is. Check with your grid.

Nothing wrong with our grid babes - a TP request to yours came up with a very weird error (never seen before TBH) the first time, then an unable to verify error 2nd time, then a very slow TP into your region the 3rd time ... but I made it. Looks good but I couldnt find the shops .. sorry xx ♥xx

Sorry you had problems, but glad you finally got in. I've reported it to our IT person. I do get lots of visitors, so not sure what the issue was.

Check with your grid, because we're definitely connected to the hypergrid and get visitors daily.
