Luna Lunaria @lunalunaria

Hi All. As an Opensim merchant, I would prefer not to waste your valuable time promoting products you have no interest in. So this is your chance to let a merchant know your thoughts on shopping in the hypergrid. Please answer any or all, candidly but respectfully, and thank you for participating :-)

1. Not including avatar accessories and clothing, what are the top items you look for when shopping?
2. Do you only look for free items or would you be willing to pay for unique items if the quality were good?
3. How important are reviews in your decisions?
4. What is your preferred method of payment when you use one?
5. What media outlets do you primarily use for Opensim information?
6. Do you think merchants have a place in the Opensim community?

Another sneak peek of what's coming soon on the Sci-fi Platform under construction at Lunaria Emporium on Mobius Grid. You can see them there now, and soon they will be open to the public to fly and purchase.

Come see the castles at the Emporium. There is the Ceridwen Castle, with ethereal hues and hidden rooms; there is the Caerwyn Fortress - a half sim complex based on the 13th century Harlech castle in Wales, with lots of hidden doors and spaces and a large interior courtyard; and there's the Caerwyn Keep, which is the castle portion of the larger fortress.

You can see them all by clicking on the Castles sign under Viewing Platforms. See if you can find all the hidden passages.

Lunaria just opened a second location on Kitely Grid where you'll find all my original products for sale for Kitely credits. Eventually, many of these items will be listed in my store on the Kitely Market as well here: https://www.kitely.com/market?store=13957705&wt=os

Lunaria Emporium is here to help you complete your own personal vision. I sell only the highest quality original mesh, structures, and decor to take your world to a higher, more realistic level. Below are some of the many items I carry:

-Classical structures such as a temple, a forum, a large pool, and pavilions, as well as poplar trees and statues
-A full cemetery on display

WHAT CANNOT BE FOUND HERE:
-Avatar related items such as clothes, skin, hair, shapes, animations, etc. Sorry, not really my thing.
-Satyrfarm items or breedables
-Moving vehicles
-Items made by other creators

All of my large venues are now displayed together on the new region on Mobius Grid, with many styles to choose from and more to come in the Japanese, Sci-fi, and Castle styles in the months to come.

You can walk through them all by clicking on the Venues sign in the main lobby under Viewing Platforms. And while the builds look good under basic graphics, they look absolutely stunning with graphics set higher. Be sure to use the new Firestorm EEP viewer to see the wonderful sky effects.

NOTE: This is a complex region, so set your graphics low at first to allow your viewer to cache the region. Once that is complete you can activate advanced lighting model to see everything as it was meant to be seen. Avatars from Osgrid will take longer since they don't have a suitcase and it forces the region to load their entire inventory.

The Emporium is here to help you complete your own personal vision. I sell only the highest quality original mesh, structures, and decor to take your world to a higher, more realistic level. Here you have many styles to choose from: Medieval, Gothic, Japanese, Classical, Steampunk, or Modern, all unique and all using the best quality textures and materials.

Lunaria Emporium is a Gloebit region, which means all products are sold for Gloebits. There is also a nice Free section as well with several items available.

PLEASE NOTE: None of these venues are listed on my Kitely Market store yet, except older versions of the castles

While I usually create posts here for my Opensim store, I also have a store on Second Life that is over twelve years old.

Lunaria Emporium is my unique store on the Yeol region in Second Life, modeled after the Ihaidō for Kōrin-ji Temple in Shikoku. Make sure you have advanced lighting model and shadows turned on.

Why does Opensimworld allow malicious reviews like this on legitimate regions? I reported it but it still shows on my site and drags down my ratings. When I look up this user, they have no regions or activity, just a string of bad reviews for shopping regions. None of my items are available anywhere else on the hypergrid. Opensim says they want creators, but when I bring my original creations here I get this.

The June issue of the Virtual-HG Official Grid Magazine is out! Special thanks to @Marianna for putting this fabulous magazine together every month. Look for the kiosk at the entrance to the Emporium. You can also grab a copy at the official Virtual HG grid location here:

Lunaria is a region much larger than the store, full of art, fantasy, and spiritual areas to get lost in. There's a lot to see and do that is unrelated to the store, and some places can only be reached if you are proficient with double click to camera position, such as the large rotating ring with chairs you can sit on and enjoy a scenic ride around the region. Inside the lobby and to the far right are additional teleports to wonderful places like the Ceridwen Temple where a soulful melody wafts through the sacred space; the modern Aeroclub, an event venue floating in the sky with flying cars you can explore the region in; or Camelot - an ongoing four-region build.

Lunaria is more than just a store. This is part of Ceridwen's Temple which sits on top of the main store. You can find the Temple teleport in the lobby. Ceridwen is the Celtic goddess of change, rebirth, and transformation, and her symbol is the triple moon.

The Emporium now has the latest Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2 mesh avatars and full accessories, all for free. I love these mesh bodies and all my avatars on all grids use them exclusively. Made for Opensim by a group of talented and devoted Opensim creators, these bodies easily compare with the best in SL, but with a fraction of the graphics load. You'll also find teleports to stores that offer clothing and accessories made just for Ruth and Roth.

You can also obtain everything Ruth and Roth at the Ruth and Roth region on Osgrid.

My sincere thanks to the many patrons of my architecture :-)

Freebie Alert! From now through the end of May, all large statues inside the main store are free to take! This is the first time these have ever been discounted, so take advantage now.

Lunaria Gloebit Emporium is the new flagship store for Lunaria on a 3x3 varregion on Mobius Grid, perfect for shopping, exploration, or meditation.

There's a lot to see and do that is unrelated to the store, and some places can only be reached if you are proficient with double click to camera position, such as the large rotating ring with chairs you can sit on and enjoy a scenic ride around the region. Inside the lobby and to the far right are additional teleports to wonderful places like the Ceridwen Temple where a soulful melody wafts through the sacred space; the modern Aeroclub, an event venue floating in the sky with flying cars you can explore the region in; or Camelot - an ongoing four-region build.

At the store you'll find unique products created solely by Luna Lunaria that can be purchased with Gloebits. The store is large, with multiple rooms that include themes such as Christmas, Gothic, Vampire, Arcane Magic, Castles, Steampunk Airships, Medieval, Japanese/Asian, Greek and Roman, Statuary, Decor, freebies, and large Venues. There are region-size viewing platforms where you can walk through all of the structures available for purchase and experience some stunning builds.

Many new products have been added along with a new FREE section with several items free to anyone. Also available for free are the Ruth 2.0 and Roth 2.0 mesh avatars with all available huds.

Starting now and extending until the end of the month of May, in celebration of the opening my new flagship store, Lunaria Gloebit Emporium on Mobius Grid, all large statues inside the new store will be free to anyone.

My single region store on YCFS grid will be closing soon with the retirement of the grid owner from hosting public grids. Mobius Grid has graciously opened their doors and I now have a large 3x3 varregion where I was able to combine the best of the old store with the best of my original 3x3 art region Lunaria, resulting in a beautiful combination of art, light, and meditative landscaping, with all the great venues and builds from my original store.

I welcome any who have never visited my region, as well as all the wonderful patrons who have supported my work over the years, to come see my new home and explore all the areas and builds.

With the recent remodel of Lunaria Emporium, some new venues have been added with more on the way. The Forum is one of those: an open air venue in the neoclassical style, with columns, curtains and amphitheater seating. The Forum is modify and copy so you can place a copy out and change it any way you like, such as removing the seating and adding a stage. At some point I'll do a version with a matching stage. There's a nice fountain out front, and several statues are available for purchase to finish the look. To see the Forum, click the 'Classical' sign in the lobby under Viewing Platforms.

*There's now a new FREE section in the store. Also, don't forget to click the 'JOIN OUR GROUP' sign in the lobby and collect a free group gift!

As a fellow opensim merchant, I want to extend a personal invitation for you to participate in OpensimFest by showcasing your products on a special region just for merchants. Our aim is to celebrate and showcase the incredible imagination and creativity of the entire Opensim community, and we feel merchants play a vital role.

Last year was the first year for Opensimfest as the successor to the AvatarFest of previous years, and the festival was a great success for non-commercial exhibitors and performers, lasting over three days, with exhibits open for the entire month. This year, in addition to Exhibitors and Performers, we are recognizing original opensim creators who already offer their products across the hypergrid.

Here are some of the advantages of participation:

You will be able to use your main hypergrid avatar to create and/or stock your store

You will be able to sell your products for Gloebits, which will be the standard currency for the region. All proceeds will be yours to keep, and no additional fees for the region or grid will be assessed to you or your customers.

You may also offer part or all of your products for free as long as you are the original creator of all products being offered for sale or for free.

You will have 28 plots to choose from on a large 3x3 varregion. Three plot sizes are available: 950 square meters with a 500 prim allowance, 2500 square meters with a 750 prim allowance, and large 7000 square meter plots with a 1000 prim allowance. Space allowing, you may combine two plots together. There is no requirement to follow the festival theme with your product offerings.

You can choose a Prefab store sized for your plot that will not count against your prim allowance, or you may construct your own display area.

All of your builds will be your sole property and will not be copied, modified, or taken for any reason. A daily OAR will be created each day for grid maintenance, but at the end of September, all builds, backups, and OARs will be permanently deleted.

You can have a sign in your store that directs visitors to your main stores, web sites, and social media.

You will have access to your region as soon as you register on the festival website and confirm your plot selection with me by email at luna@opensimfest.org, or by delivering a notecard to Luna Lunaria on Opensimfest, Mobius, Osgrid, Kitely, or Digiworldz.

You can register now by
1) Going to our website: https://web.opensimfest.org/taking-part
2) Emailing Luna Lunaria at luna@opensimfest.org
3) Contacting Luna on the Opensimfest Discord server here: https://discord.gg/T7QN2mZ

Visit Lunaria Emporium to see the Star Empress, a nicely detailed and realistic airship in the Victorian steampunk style. This version is non-flying and serves as both a magnificent floating skybox home and a ballroom venue. There are multiple decks and rooms on the main ship, including a finely detailed bridge. Hidden in the blimp above are 2 large skydecks suitable for large ballrooms or private suites. There are also twin engines with nice detailing and realistic sound, and running lights on both the engines and the blimp. The ship is modifiable so that you can add your own flight scripts and you can set out as many copies as you like

For all Opensim merchants: in addition to having the regular non-commercial exhibition areas for OpensimFest this coming March, we're adding a separate merchants region to the festival that will be Gloebit enabled where you will have available space to showcase your products. I am spearheading that portion of the Fest and will post more info as we go along. For now, here is the website you can follow for more info as it becomes available: https://osf.leighton-marjoram.co.uk/
You can also contact Luna Lunaria directly on OSGrid, Ourgrid Life, Kitely, or Digiworldz
As a side note: we haven't yet posted merchant guidelines on the website or set deadlines for registering. I'll post those here as we know them.
