ALL HOPESTONE ATTRACTIONS HAVE MOVED!
NEW GRID: http://hg.CarnivaleGrid.com:8002/Magicland

To All Our Magicland Dreamers,

Howdy folks! Mickey Mouse here with news so big, it’s bigger-on-the-inside!

After almost 4 magical years in Neverworld, we’re moving Magicland to the all-new Carnivale Grid – and we’ve traveling like well, not quite royalty, but Time Lords! The Doctor has agreed to transport us and the entire park in their nifty contraption they call a “T.A.R.D.I.S.”.

(That’s short for “Totally Awesome Ride Distributing Infinite Surprises” – or so the Doctor tells me while doing that thing where they wave their glowing screwdriver at the parking meters. Long story.)

This magical blue box can fit:

All 30 Roller Coasters & Theme Rides (currently occupying the zero-gravity disco room)
All 14 Magical Light Parade Floats (the horses graciously agreed to wear diapers for the trip)
Every last churro stand (now accidentally time-locked to stay eternally crispy)
That singing topiary that gets really excited when Donald rants…. (he won’t leave without it)
Minnie’s entire shoe collection (they all look the same to me, but apparently “that one” is special)
Every last ounce of Magicland magic (can’t leave that behind!)
And still have room for Goofy’s “experimental” jellybean cannon!
Small print: May cause temporary time loops when Donald argues with the console. Not responsible for unexpected visits from Victorian-era carousel horses.

Set your watches for… actually nevermind, the Doctor says time is “wibbly” right now. Just meet us at Carnivale for the grand reopening – we’ll announce the date when we land! There will be games, prizes, movies and more!

Stay tuned folks & NEVER stop dreaming!

Your pal,
Mickey Mouse
Magicland Head Dreamer & Honorary Time Traveler

P.S. The Doctor says to remind everyone: DON’T TOUCH THE BLINKING BUTTONS. Especially the one that looks like a “multidimensional anti-temporal red or sometimes magenta jellybean”. Anyone know what a “multidimensional anti-temporal jellybean” looks like? Apparently that one’s important.

P.P.S. The Doctor let me take a brief glance into Magicland’s future, and I didn’t get to see much (spoilers, darling!) but I did see that the park is getting yet another full region expansion! It seems to be called “Tomorrowland” – I wonder what that’s about? There was also something about a “Sillyville”? Huh! Exciting times ahead it seems! Stay tuned!

Our latest addition to the Sub-Version mall: The Garden Centre.

Large collection of unique items for your garden - many with a fantasy feel to them.

As always many many items at other stores at Sub-Version Mall.

testing, testing.....all systems are a go! Peregrin is now available in shop, with handpose. Soon I hope to add a special version where it actually takes off for a roundabout flight.....thats just a pain to animate:)

Skinny Dip Beach Party
Tommorrow - Sunday, June 22 | 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM
Location: Alternate MetaVerse Grid

Taxi; hop://alternatemetaverse.com:8002/Skinny%20Dip%20Beach/76/...
Get ready to strip down and turn up.
Live DEEJAY' s will take you on a two-hour ride of high-energy beats.

Bikinis, bare skin, and beats that don’t quit.

This is the night to break loose, own your freedom, and dance like nothing’s off-limits.
Be there, or hear about it later.

Promote Your Shop In Our Group
With 151 members, the "What Are You Looking For?" group is the largest and most active in OSW. As you might expect, there are more people looking for stuff than there are people helping them find it. We have a relatively small core group of people helping people find what they are looking for. And when these dedicated helpers do that, they are promoting your shop, if you have one, as a place to get that stuff.

So, if you have a shop, consider being a helper in the "What Are You Looking For?" group. You'd be promoting your shop as a place to find stuff people are looking for. Not that I'm asking for you to spam the group by advertising your shop in a way that is unrelated to a specific request. What I am suggesting is that you take a look at the posts in the "What Are You Looking For?" group whenever you are on OSW. See if you can help someone find the specific thing they are looking for. And, in the spirit of "sharing is caring", you can also help people find stuff in other shops if you don't have it. That's going to earn you double plus bonus points.

If you are already a helper in the "What Are You Looking For?" group, thank you. And if you are not? Well, that's just plain silly. Join us. Be a helper. If you can answer someone's request by directing them to your shop... Well, that's a big plus for everyone.

🎉 Integration between OpenSim NewLifeItaly Grid and Hexivia Videochat: real-time IM messages!
A bridge between metaverse and web in real time.
The Hexivia platform has recently completed an advanced integration with the OpenSim NewLifeItaly grid, allowing the sending of IM (Instant Message) messages directly from the web videochat to the avatars present in the grid.
This feature, developed internally by the Hexivia team, opens new possibilities for synchronous communication between users connected via browser and users present in the virtual world.
🔧 How does it work?
Users connected to the Hexivia videochat can see who is currently online in the grid (NewLifeItaly).
It is possible to send private messages (IM) to those avatars with a simple click.
The system routes the messages in real time to the script resident in the grid, which receives via HTTP and forwards the IM to the specific user.
Everything happens with an elegant interface, directly integrated into the videochat experience, without the need for external software or additional logins.
🔐 Security and privacy
Messages are securely forwarded through authenticated HTTP endpoints.
The sender's name is included to ensure transparency in communication.
Messages are logged server-side for internal audits (optional).
🌍 Why it's important
This integration represents a step forward in interoperability between web platforms and decentralized metaverses. Connecting web users to those in OpenSim (without requiring client viewers) opens up scenarios:
Educational
Social
Events
Remote assistance
👨‍💻 The developer
The entire integration was designed and developed by Hexivia, the same team that manages and develops the videochat platform.
With attention to technical details, performance and usability, the system is designed to be scalable, extensible and ready for future evolutions (such as two-way notifications, avatar presence, etc.).
🚀 Next steps
The project also includes the extension to:
Grid voice messages
Offline notifications
In-world visual notifications for events coming from video chat
✨ One metaverse, two worlds… one communication.
Find out more at https://hexivia.com and stay connected to NewLifeItaly for upcoming news!

TAKE Land es un territorio sagrado, creado como un refugio para el alma, un escenario donde el tiempo se detiene y la conciencia se expande. Su geografía no obedece a reglas físicas, sino emocionales. Es un espacio digital con alma propia.

Castillos flotantes, jardines laberínticos, cascadas eternas y playas de luz dorada son solo el principio. Aquí, quien entra no solo explora un sim: atraviesa un portal. TAKE Land es un viaje.

Un lugar para quienes buscan despertar, recordar, evolucionar. No necesitas mapas. El camino se revela cuando confías.

>->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->

TAKE Land is a sacred territory, created as a refuge for the soul, a stage where time stands still and consciousness expands. Its geography doesn’t follow physical rules, but emotional ones. It’s a digital space with a soul of its own.

Floating castles, labyrinthine gardens, eternal waterfalls, and golden light beaches are just the beginning.

TAKE Land is a journey.

A place for those who seek to awaken, to remember, to evolve.
You don’t need maps.
The path reveals itself when you trust.

T – Timelessness
Time doesn’t pass in TAKE Land. Here, everything is the present. It’s a space beyond the clock, where the ancestral and the future embrace. The castle, the temples, and the waterfalls tell stories from eras never forgotten.
“There’s no rush here. Everything is now.”

A – Awakening

The soul awakens in every corner. TAKE Land is not just a landscape; it’s a call to remember who you are. The structures, the paths, and the details invite introspection, a connection with nature, with the sacred, and with creativity.

“Awaken. You’re in the place where your essence remembers.”

For your reading interest, I thought perhaps folks should have a chance to read a newer Sparks novel, before the movie comes out. (yes, one is in the works!) so please enjoy Counting Miracles, on the bookshelf C for counting. Try pasting in the above url multiple times after you arrive, if you have trouble finding the correct bookcase.

And PLEASE...if you enjoy the novel, just like reading this from a rl library...support the author. Buy the paperback. Go to the theater and see the movie. He is a wonderful author :)
