So, that happened. InWorldz closed. There never really was a new incarnation. Beth/Elenia started a new grid, but it had barely opened it’s doors when she cited poverty as a reason for closing again. Not quite sure exactly how much was raised by the fundraising, nor where that money went but Islandz – as the new grid was called – shut down quickly. It was far too sad and stupid to even waste breath saying ‘I told you so’ to all those who kept their faith in her.
Anyhow, that’s all old news now and there are people round and about that are more than happy to share what their opinions regarding what happened — huge kudos to the very awesome Jim Tarber for working tirelessly to do his best for the IW residents. He is still getting out the last OARs for people and put up a discord channel where he has been able to keep people updated on all that’s been going on.
So InWorldz dispersed here and there.
I have 3 equal time presences on 3 grids and frequently visit a fourth.
Second Life – is still fun – though these higher membership fees are really dinging the small person while giving a break to large landowners. I guess Linden Labs needed to up their cash flow or something. Not going to bother showing pics of my time there because we all know what it looks like. Meshy bouncy beautiful bodies and thousands of regions to explore…. so we’ll move on to…
DigiWorldz I’m still in there with a re-creation of BirchGlen
I don’t have any residents actually renting any land yet – one thing about cheap regions is that it’s hard to entice people to rent a parcel elsewhere unless there is a good bustling community. But it’s still nice to make the space. My region is open to the hypergrid and uses gloebits so anyone can rent a space, regardless of the grid they are in. So if you’re looking for a nice home in a region with a pub, parks, immersive spaces and navigatable waters and sky for boating and flying – come visit Birchglen.
Taggrid – new for me! I really like this grid, it has such a nice community feel with some very talented artists . There’s even the old Jackson Square OAR from IW if you’re looking to reminisce a bit. It reminds me of InWorldz, because of the closed world/tight knit community and I have a lot of friends there from IW. Being closed is something I discovered I actually like because I’ve not come across botted items like in hypergrid enabled grids . There are more and more creators coming in all the time – so if you’re looking to find a nice, secure, friendly and very affordable place in the metaverse, I highly recommend it. Also if you are a creator, there are many residents here that would LOVE to have you and there’s a great market available also.

I still enjoy visiting Kitely too, many creative people doing lots of fantastic things – Coopersville is an amazing Edwardian era region, done by Koshari Mahana of Four Winds fame. I strongly suggest visiting it. Another long time favourite of mine is Intersections by Dot Matrix.
Cool spot that i can’t remember the name of in Kitely
Another cool educational Kitely space

So really, there are so many places to explore and enjoy – these are just a bit of sharings to show what i’ve been up to. I plan on spending a bit more time detailing my fav places more in the future.
Almost a Year So, that happened. InWorldz closed. There never really was a new incarnation. Beth/Elenia started a new grid, but it had barely opened it's doors when she cited poverty as a reason for closing again.
