Party time @ Speakeasy Club

Every saturdaynight ( sundaymorning for the EU earlybirds ) you can dance and party at Speakeasy club at speakeasy region near littlefield. Your host & DJ Walter Balazic spins tunes, in weekly themed party's. For details on what specific party you run into, check OSgrids 'Forums.   ( I teleported and found myself in a "Devo party" full of people in yellow outfits with red caps.... )

The club is a classic club build, and worth a visit. Has a great lightning & particle system in place, an animated dancefloor and an inline dance system,  so you don't need to worry about your default OSG "breakdance" animations.

If you are a real party-animal, great host, awesome DJ,sexy dancer, blazing event manager, or otherwise, and would like to participate actively, feel free to contact Walter Balazic, Dirk Mathers, or Toy McBride. Ofcourse if you just like to party, hit speakeasy on Saturdaynight.

Littlefield is very active in the OSG community and has created a Halloween Region for everyone to enjoy. You can find it on map by looking for Stonehaven Party Isle. It contains a haunted house, haunted hayride, balloon ride, graveyard, corn maze and several other "toys" around the region. There organising a Halloween party on the region on Friday Nov. 2 and Saturday Nov. 3 from 8PM SLT on.

Grid Downtime & Lost friends

Osgrid had an outage. Not too much details are known to us, but for what we understand we've read on twitter, there was an issue in the datacenter. After last time's PSU failure, and Neb playing with Databases, the 3rd outage this year. Yeah thats news, as it's pretty amazing that a 10.000 sim 60K+ user grid, hosted around the world through a gazillion networks is as stable as it is. Chapeau for the hard work of the admins and not to forget the dev's making this possible.

A couple of weeks back the creator of Port Azure, Tasha Violet, passed away. She was a great builder, and  the community lost a very creative mind. Some of her sims, and much of her work are still around for you to enjoy.

Last week i found on OSG forums also Hans Hausermann passed away. He was a cheerfull and very friendly and funny OSG regular, that i met in LBSA quite often. Some close friends have built him a nice memorial. It makes you realise the infinity of the pixels, the spirit people put into their builds, and the friendships that can evolve between the people behind the avatars  in virtual worlds.
These people will be missed, but their memorials and builds will hopefully last forever.

Not the most cheerful topics for in a Blog on virtual worlds, but unfortunately death is inevitable. We can only be grateful to live lives rich with filled with good friends to enjoy them with, and hope our legacy and heritage outlasts the time we have been given. Rest in Peace.

Off and On

As usual in summertime, Foxx spends less time on OSgrid, and more time elsewhere. As a fanatic gamer I've spent quite some time in LOTRO ( The lord of the rings Online ) which you can play for free. (also available via Steam btw).
Red Dragon now also exists as a kinship in LOTRO, located on withylwindle server. You can find our kinship webpage here :  http://red-dragon.theonekinship.net/ Since Riders of  Rohan will be released in 3 weeks, my summer abcense might be a bit longer than usual. ( Mounted combat and fresh Trolls to whack).

In case your dutch, and like to be in a dutch kinship, try http://dutchberzerkers.guildportal.com in which my "main" character (a level 75 champion) is officer and webmaster. Next to LOTRO we also play Battelfield ( Still BC2 ), Skyrim (cool), Civilisation (for old times sake), the GTA series, World of Tanks (gotta love Tanks! )  and some other games (days seriously need more hours....).  So far for the heads up on my "Missing Avatar".

In the few hours i am online in OSG (mainly weekends) you can likely find me hanging at LBSA, D&J's friday party on close encounters region, or building on Red Dragon club. (still 3 floors to fill).

OSG is almost back at 10.000 sims, of which you can be sure they were online in the past 3 weeks. (else they would have been purged from the map). Make sure to checkout the machinima Vid of OSG5B by Cyberbohemia in case you missed all the party's. Also grab a copy of the latest OSgazet which reports on the OSG5b celebrations. You can still join the weekly town hall meetings for the latest news, or compete in the speed building contest or primwords. Info on those events can be found at LBSA plaza, or by talking to one of the admins. Fresh updates on OSG related stuff will follow soon.
