The New World Grid

We added our Privacy Policy on the Community Standards page, and also a disclaimer concerning eventual uses of copybots.

[14:51] THE GRID IS ONLINE AGAIN WITH FRESH MEMORY AND VITAMINS ! WELCOME BACK INWORLD !

[14:08] The grid is currently down for maintenance. I’ll keep you updated It should not be long.

I will shutdown the grid this Saturday 29th of march at 2:00 PM (GMT+1 / France Time) for some minutes (no more than 30 minutes I hope) to perform some maintenance on the servers and the database.

In order to improve your inworld experience and increase performance, we will experiment Squid on 1 region during a week. Squid is a cache server that caches textures and assets. The region will ask for textures and assets to Squid instead of the asset server, what will reduce considerably the asset server load. If this is a success, we will configure all public regions for Squid, and eventually all private estates wishing to experience it. No grid downtime is required to install Squid.

But as a reminder, don’t forget saturday downtime for maintenance.

Hello !

We have created a new mainland for public purposes. Everybody is welcome to buy a mainland region in the Land Store and create to contribute to make the Community grow.

Here is a map of this Second Mainland. Click to enlarge the map.

I’m restarting all regions for more performance. If you are experimenting any issue, please contact us on the live chat.

The old chat room was not very useful because wehad to keep the window visible to watch if someone was writing messages. We have now integrated a new chat system based on Flash. This triggers a sound when someone, join, quit the chat, or post a message.

You can access it by using the Chat menu above or by clicking here ! Enjoy !

We found that it could be useful to have a sandbox to test things there and also test new OpenSim releases. So I installed a sandbox, named Sandbox1 at the south of the mainland. Enjoy and have fun !

Hello !

The Automated Backup System is running now. It backups every 20 minutes  your land shape and your primitives in case of data loss and triggers a simulator backup.

In order to offer more service quality and to give admins the ability to manage the grid without accessing the servers, I developped a Remote Administration tool reserved for trusted grid admins. They have only power to restart any region if needed and on demand in the case a region crash was not detected by our Crash Manager.

Please, note the Backup automated system is currently down for review.

[01:16] Grid servers updated ! Welcome back inworld !

[00:45] Regions updated : Welcome, Caladhiel, Nayaland, and other mainland regions…

[00:21] Regions updated : The Bridge, Usher Bay, Art, Sanctuary, Kingdom of Eternity and Oracle.

Dear Citizens,

in order to fix bugs and improve the grid stability, a grid and regions update is scheduled for sunday 9th of march at 10PM (GMT+1) unless there is not a lot of people connected on the grid when I’m available to perform the update. In this case, I would update the grid before sunday evening.
