Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli.  This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy.  When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why.  I LOVE the ...

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick.  The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

   Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora.  I still do not remember how I found it.  It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain.  But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

Grid List

category Grid List, The Missing Image | by V | on Jul18 2010

This table is based on my own research and answers I received from grid operators. A question mark denotes that information about the according field could neither be confirmed nor negated. Though the table is updated irregularly, it claims no complete accuracy, comprehension or up-to-dateness.

Some more information about the data: The description column contains a short summary of the nature of the grid. Ratings are either PG (no nudity, no adult content, no violence), mature (nudity allowed, but no sexual behaviour) or adult (everything allowed except for illegal conduct). Hypergrid means if the grid, or parts of it, are hypergrid enabled, allowing access from the “outside”. Region connect shows, if users can connect their own, or third party regions to the grid, while “Land rental” displays if – and, if available, at what cost – land can be rented by the grid operators themselves. Currency is an overview if the grid allows for any in-world solution to payments, be they real (Paypal) or virtual (any virtual currency).

    Hallo zusammen,

    sorry dass ich Deutsch schreibe aber da es hier auch einige deutsche Artikel giebt hoffe ich dass es jemand lesen kann ;-)

    Vielen Dank erstmal für die umfangreiche Gridliste. Leider ist Euch bei Metropolis ein Fehler unterlaufen. Das steht bei kosten:

    “starting at 29 €/month for 1 region (45.000 Prims)”

    Das stimmt nicht so ganz. Man kann zwar in Metropolis eine Region für 29Eur im Monat mieten aber es geht auch wesentlich günstiger.
    Man kann entweder selbst eine Region (oder mehrere) kostenlos hosten. Auch bieten einige der Hoster an Interessierte Leute kostenlose Parzellen oder ganze Regionen für einen gewissen Zeitraum oder auch dauerhaft kostenlos an.

    Ansonsten ein grosses Kompliment an Eure Seite. Sie ist sehr informativ und endlich auch mal ne Seite die deutsche und englische Artikel enthält.
    Macht weiter so.

    Gruss

    Bruni

    Hi Brunhild,

    die Spalte “Land rental” bezieht sich auf die Preise, für die man bei den Gridbetreibern selbst Land mieten kann. Wenn Benutzer ihre eigenen Regionen andocken können (was natürlich immer günstiger ist), steht bei “Region connect” ein yes. Ich hab’s allerdings nochmal in die Einleitung geschriben, damit klar ist, was ich meine.

    Gruß
