Today I signed up for the AviWorlds grid which is a free 3D virtual world powered by OpenSim. AviWorlds was founded in October 2012 which means it’s a fairly new grid. The AviWorlds website (shown below) is very welcoming I think for starters and the site pages are very useful to navigate. AviWorlds is well-connected with Facebook and Twitter it seems which is good news indeed.
My first impressions: A rather quiet grid upon arrival and I didn’t see any avatars at any of the official landmarks listed on the tall hub. I was impressed with the landmarks board and clickable information surrounding me. Hopefully in the coming years more will join AviWorlds and the grid will grow larger.
During my visit at the AviWorlds Welcome Center I managed to talk with the President and CEO of AviWorlds called Alex AviWorlds who was very friendly and provided me with new details about the grid status.
Alex mentioned the following to me…
- AviWorlds went online 4 1/2 months ago
- AviWorlds is growing tremendously due to the new grid strategy “our strategy is to supply a market which holds SL afloat”
- AviWorlds is getting over 40 people a day now and growing
- At CITYBYDBAY there birthday parties, weddings and much more

Logging into AviWorlds for the first time:
After the signup process was complete I logged into AviWorlds for the first time at the AviWorlds Welcome Center island. I received a welcome notecard telling me about the AviWorlds grid. There was a large board in front of me of landmarks to visit. Around me there were many information objects to click on for more information about the grid. Very handy and a well-built area for new residents to start after sign-up. More exploring for me to do and more discoveries to come hopefully. 😀
