1001 InWorldz regions milestone

This morning InWorldz reached the 1001 regions milestone on the InWorldz Login Page which is great news. When I signed up to InWorldz on 2nd September 2010 there was 499 regions. It’s been growing ever since and today it passed the big one of 1000 regions.

• 1005 – 18th May 2012
• 1016 – 19th May 2012

 Wow!

Here is the graph showing InWorldz regions growth since July 2010 via Hypergrid Business, as of 15th May 2012. It’s interesting to see the growth of InWorldz which seems to be rising at good rates. Avination seems to be on the other side of the scale but will catch on later I’m sure.

New region count on the InWorldz Login Page

This week I have noticed on the InWorldz login page there is now a region count which I think rocks and interesting. I like the grid status box, IW background snapshots, the real time Twitter feed and finally the InWorldz event listings on the right hand side. YAY!!!

New region count displays the following..

• Private Isles
• Scenic Regions
• Mainland Regions
• InWorldz Sponsored regions

My experience of InWorldz so far

I signed up to InWorldz on 2nd September 2010 when there was 12, 274 total users, 96 users online and 499 regions on the grid. I was using InWorldz viewer 1.0.0 (10) back then and today i’m using version 1.4.4. I do like to log reqularly into InWorldz and see whats happening in terms of events and news. I love InWorldz because there is a great friendly community, its growing, theres new features being added and the experience has been very good,  I’m excited about the future for InWorldz and i’m glad to be apart of one of the popular opensim grids out there today.

Happy 3rd Birthday InWorldz!

InWorldz 3rd birthday update

Last year InWorldz (March 31st – April 3rd, 2011) turned two years old in the metaverse which was really amazing and special. The birthday celebrations were hosted on four InWorldz Events sims to celebrate InWorldz reaching two years old. I went along to the InWorldz 2nd birthday celebrations and took many snapshots from the four regions.

This year InWorldz 3rd birthday bash will be held in real life this weekend (31st March – 2nd April 2012) in Vegas at the first official InWorldz Conference apparently. But nothing for birthday celebrations inworld it seems this year.

Raglan Shire The Great Tree saved

After hearing the news this week that The Great Tree sim will be closing down in InWorldz it now seems the sim will continue to live on. This is excellent news that the wonderful historical build will now be saved by Abramelin Wolfe. Zayn Till posted the good news (below) today on the InWorldz Forums, saying thanks to everyone for their the kind words and community support.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the kind words and support.

We actually hadn’t made any arrangements for the build to be stored but its all moot now as thanks to the extreme kindness and generosity of Mr Abramelin Wolfe, The Sim will continue to live on. Will post some more info soon but Just wanted to let people know that The Great Tree will remain indefinitely in Inworldz.

Can’t even begin to express our thanks in full to Abram.

I received a message from Zayn Till about the sim being saved this afternoon (SLT). I logged into InWorldz again to visit the sim then I saw Zayn Till coming towards me to have a chat. WoooooT!

Daniel Voyager, you have received an offline message from Zayn Till!

February 7, 2012, 1:57 pm

Raglan Shire in InWorldz Lives |These some details to be worked out, but Abramelin Wolfe in an extreme act of kindness & generosity has offered to help us cover our costs. The Great Tree will continue to live on in Inworldz. W00T More information to come but for now, a Big round of Apaws to Mr Wolfe

Yay!

InWorldz key moments during 2011 so far

There have been many wonderful and enjoyable moments during 2011 so far for InWorldz. As you can see below in the list there have been interesting milestones in terms of news and events in 2011.

This year I have logged in more, attended the big InWorldz events and blogged about it  too. The stability, performance and growth is amazing. It’s great to be part of it all. I have been impressed so far with InWorldz and I’m excited to see what comes next in 2012. I do think the InWorldz founders are awesome people.

I teleported first to InWorldz Events A and arrived at the round landing pavilion to start exploring the wonderful art builds. Each landing spot has a board of teleports to visit including the prim count for each region. Each artist build is very unique and amazing which I love a lot. I think the event regions texturing and layout is unbelievably beautiful. The land of creativity is very inspiring and fascinating.

Celebrate and support the ‘Arts’ by attending this wonderful exhibition by the residents of InWorldz. Artists and teams of artists have put together some unique and fantastic Art projects for your viewing pleasure from November 12th through November 22nd. Judges will pick two winners from each region (so 8 winners in all) and entertainment is scheduled from November 15th thru the 22nd when there will be an Awards Closing Party.
