I should have updated the metrics part so thanks of bringing us up to date with the number of grids on line.<br /><br />Regarding New World Studio I think that is a very useful application and certainly takes the work out of setting up a standalone. I would like to see it developed further however, to include connection with another grid like OSgrid. I would even be willing to pay for an advanced version that sets up a fully functional grid with web admin management.<br /><br />I think we still have a long way to go but everything is pointing in the right direction and I am very excited by it all.<br /><br />GagaTalla Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125668800530203529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-43273590826360172042012-05-29T19:45:23.624-07:002012-05-29T19:45:23.624-07:00Hi Ener

Second Life owes a lot of it's success to role players and they are a huge source of revenue. Some of the best builds have been created by role players and they will buy all manner of clothing. You just have to understand the mind set. I think there are three types; 1. Foot lose players who join many games but lack deep attachment. They are definitely good for adding numbers and atmosphere. There role play tends to be a bit weak with too much mixing of OOC/IC chatter which is off putting and even annoying to the better players (OOC = Out Of Character. IC = In Character). 2. This is probably the majority of players. They tend to sick with one theme - perhaps Gor or Dark Gothic Vampire or one of the many other themes. They generally role play very well and do try to make their character believable. 3. Hard core dedicated players tend to be excellent role players with good understanding of rules. They are most often game builders too and where they are not they tend to be very loyal to a sim or group, sticking with it for many years.<br /><br />I think the open Metaverse could benefit hugely from attracting more role players.<br /><br />GagaTalla Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125668800530203529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-66355525108204970912012-05-29T12:07:54.051-07:002012-05-29T12:07:54.051-07:00Gaga --
I've got more than 90 grids right now ...Gaga --<br />I've got more than 90 grids right now indexed in Hyperica directory, and active at last visit. Just checked -- 91. I've got a few dozen more in my lists that I haven't been able to teleport to yet which are supposed to be hypergrid enabled -- either the connection fails, or the grid wasn't up whenever we checked (common for home-based, part-time grids). <br /><br />You should also be keeping an eye out on New World Studio -- the latest release is so easy to use, and so flexible, that I expect a lot more folks will be using it to operate home-based mini-grids. They've done a fantastic job of creating an interface where, with a few clicks -- and your router permitting -- you could have a grid on the hypergrid. No coding. No database configurations. No .ini files to edit, or server console commands to type in -- easy AND peasy. <br /><br />Right now, they've got about nine active worlds listed in their directory, and a couple of hundred inactive ones (though I notice that they're double- and triple-listing many worlds -- don't trust the numbers until they get that fixed). I haven't been able to teleport to any of these yet, but other folks have. Probably some configuration thing that still needs to be worked out. <br /><br />Their worlds directory is here: http://nws.virrea.fr/search<br /><br />A role playing company could customize a version of NWS, and sell it prepackaged with their role-playing system, key content, pre-built central region, automatically add it to their game directory whenever the grid is up, etc... <br /><br />Hmm... sounds like a business plan...Maria Korolovhttp://www.hypergridbusiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-47337601830228749922012-05-29T11:21:02.232-07:002012-05-29T11:21:02.232-07:00wow, freaking WOW!!!

Hiya. Good to have you posting. Been a ...hey Mera!<br /><br />Hiya. Good to have you posting. Been a while since we met up. I loved your sim in OSgrid and I hope you can bring it back one day.<br /><br />And about the blog post here, yes role play is probably one of the big attractions to virtual worlds simply because they lend themselves so perfectly in so many ways to what role players do. Really, role players are like actors and the virtual worlds we share are our stage. Often the script is part written insofar as initial description and promotion are concerned but then the story takes on a life of it's own as players add their own take on it. Role play is driven by the players and governed by some sort of rules.<br /><br />I have always seen the open Metaverse as the way to go for role players. Low cost, open source, and sheer freedom. Can't beat it!<br /><br />Catch up with you soon honey!<br /><br />*Hugs n kisses*Talla Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125668800530203529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880640158139598308.post-83477404388212512652012-05-28T23:32:55.231-07:002012-05-28T23:32:55.231-07:00Great posting.
