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
