About Myself

Migrated from SL starting an offline grid for some time before coming into opensim for shopping as offline was a bit limiting. I was loaned a single sim region then went to virtual dreams grid where I had a 5 x 5 region for a while, then developed more regions with close friend Kamini Devi in OSGrid for some time, learning much more there about the simulators while developing a server for self hosting. Now We have had Samsara Grid online since March 2021and settled mostly on the best format that suits our needs. There are 9 regions all 8 x 8 in size and one private one for a client which is closed. (thats over 600 SL sims each in SL numbers). All regions are ADULT ONLY and a mix of islands and water, so if sailing you have an endless array of secluded bays and inlets, beaches on low laying islets to rugged, forested and mountainous bigger islands.

The grid has been mostly closed recently apart from a few tenants and friends, but now we are opening it up, the first region will be Gaia, which has a dark and mysterious forest in it as well as many other features.

We also host a single region in OSGrid though that is mostly for our old OSG AVs if we need them and may be removed soon as well as mirroring all the grid regions plus one kids region in a offline grid.

All regions ADULTS ONLY no kids or child AVs whatsoever, booted/banned forever zero warning. No pedos or any hint of pedo behaviour or same thing.

More soon as things open up more and more.
