We Survived .... 

Realeased by CyberBohemia 12-09-2012

Dear Friends,

At 22.12.2012, starting 20:00 UTC (21:00 GMT, 12:00 SLT), we plan to celebrate our survival of the 21.12. apocalypse with a great dance- and sandbox party on Cyberbohemia. DJ Galen will stream a very special mix of progressive trance, his personal collection of his absolute favourite songs of the last years.

Maybe with this party we can establish a new kind of virtual world parties, the "sandbox party". Cyberbohemia will be open to build for everybody during this night, so please bring all your favourite party toys and gadgets, and lets have a crazy night full of joy together, under the motto "We survived" :)

The party will take place on region Cyberbohemia in the Metropolis grid, hypergrid url: hypergrid.org:8002:Cyberbohemia

We are looking forward to celebrate this special event with you.

Love,
Galen

P.S. The event will be cancelled in case of the apocalypse on 21.12.2012.

Osgrid has a large community. Users are scattered around the grid, often   building on their own local sims and projects. Apart for the Plaza's which typically harbour "live" residents, you either have to look at the "People inworld" list when logged into OSgrid's webpage, scroll the map, or search off-grid to get in touch with people from it's community. Here's some links to get you started if you like meeting other OSG residents :

Seven Seas regions

Sometimes i hop around the grid, and visit old LM's from inventory, just to see if the sims are still up and alive, and what is there now. Last week i dropped by at an old friend, SynthFreak Universe. His "Seven Seas" regions are filled with very nice visual effects existing of a combination of all media OSG can offer. Scriptd textures and particles, video, all remotely controlled to display an array of stunning effects. A shopping mall, and plenty of nice builds are around to explore.


The new cathedral at Seven Sea's contains a lot of Mesh elements, so when you visit, its handy to not visit on an ancient viewer that doesn't have any support for Meshes *.  Also, don't get lost in the cellars and  dungeons there. They are a maze.
10 fresh regions for you to explore, much to see, addres HERE


* Osgrid posted the link to the latest Firestorm for Opensim on their twitter. It also mentions fixes on the search in the next OSG release. More info on : http://www.osgrid.org/

Recreation Plaza

Yesterday i spent some hours with 6 beautiful ladies in bikini's. (Quite unexpected,  for a late novermber evening).  After slapping on a pair of decent swimming trunks ( thnx Claudia!) we were enjoying the waterslide at Recreation Plaza. The attractions are built by Cuteulala Artis, and on behalf of  (no doubt) many happy members of the community. Thanks ! This was just what was missing in OSG.

So now Osgrid has a fully operating amusement park, where (next to the speedbuild, primwords and other games OSG has to offer) you can  enjoy massive waterslides, and a working roller coaster and ferris wheel.

Go check these rides yourself, just find some swimmingtrunks, and sit in the Tube. Whooooooeeeiiiiii. Great fun, and the teleporter at the slide exit takes you back instantly for another ride. Today there is a new fast slide, and as it is a work in progress, i think this plaza will soon be a very populair hangout.

You can reach Recreation Plaza through the North gate teleporter in LBSA plaza. Definetely a must see, and real fun to do. (Did i mention all the nice ladies in bikini's ?) Don't forget to try the roller coaster too, and when you do, try mouselook. (scroll in with mousewheel) for a nice virtual experience. A HD video of the coaster can be found below, but i advise to just visit and try for yourself.  Enjoy !

At 30-11 i revisited the sim Cuteulala Park, next to recreation plaza, and it now has multiple slides and Coasters, and a lounge to chill. More to come soon, for what i've heared. 

At 6-12 an OAR is released you can the download in Osgrids forums.
