Whiskeys Blog Challenge

I have been looking at the blogs that have joined this challenge & I got to thinking well what can I add to that?

Since my 1st day in Inworldz I have been singing its praises, back then I was alone inworldz, just me & my store... working all hours & not really thinking too far ahead. I was also in SL then too, thats where most of my business was. Inworldz was peaceful, a place where I could go to chill out & just enjoy creating... we were few then, so it was rare you got an IM but lovely when you did lol. My 1st feeling of the community came just a few days in, although we were few, everyone was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. As time has gone on our little world has grown, but that sense of community has grown with it... I have to put that down to Elenia, she wanted every Resident who came into Inworldz to be met by someone & welcomed into the community... that still goes on today with the Mentors Group. Although we are no longer Mentors ourselves, due to us having just too much to do Inworldz ourselves now, it doesnt stop of us from helping anyone that needs our help.

Inworldz is unlike any grid we have ever been in, I believe thats because most of us who have made that crossing from SL have done so because we needed something more...

For me personally now the best thing about Inworldz has to be my partner. He is the reason I look forward to living everyday... Inworldz is where we have built our Home & our Business; & where we will reside, come what may.... Inworldz is our future. We enjoy meeting every Resident who comes our way, exploring other Regions, seeing what other creators are doing & generally just being in a world of friendly people...

We wish you well

Treet TV Interview

Last night saw the Founders being Interviewed by treet tv

and Inworldz Residents turned up to support them & filled the place!
It was a really good Interview with Ele & Tranq being as transparent as they always are.... no hidden agendas which in & of itself is very refreshing & sort of what is making our World become so popular.

Content Creators of Inworldz!

I have been reading some of the 'Review' blogs that have popped up recently & all I seem to be reading is about the content of so called 'Big Names' who may or may not be bringing their content to inworldz.

We have always seen Inworldz as a place where anyone can create, if they wanted to, where ppl can learn things that perhaps they never could in other grids because no one was ever forthcoming with the information needed or it wasnt readily available, ppl had to go hunt it down.

I do believe the dreams of the founders were to build a grid were every Resident would be able to realise their dreams & not just a selected few that could afford it. There is so much talent in Inworldz from Residents who had perhaps never even tried to build in other grids because everything was so readily available at a price. Here, not everything is readily available so Residents have been learning new skills & I must say we have some wonderful New creators here. There are a number of creators who maybe didnt quite 'make the grade' in other grids, but their creations are wonderful. There are quite a few big names coming to inworldz now, not all are staying, because we still have bugs to sort out & for whatever reason they decide that its just not ready for them yet.. but thats fine, they will come back eventually. In the mean time we have creators in Inworldz that need our support... Merchants seem to be setting up on a daily basis, we have bought a lot of their products for our regions so I am going to start doing a review on what we have purchased, so everyone can see just how good the creators of Inworldz are.... These will not just be fashion reviews, these will be reviews on just about everything that can now be purchased in Inworldz.

Content Creators of Inworldz!  please take a look & follow if you can & lets start showing off our own Creators!

Divine Intuition @ Pisces!

If anyone remembers the old ICR at ning then you may remember the group we ran there called Divine Intuition! Basically its a group for anyone wishing to find themselves or to learn about Spirituality.

We are in the process of  setting up a calm & peaceful place at Pisces, for Divine Intuition, there is also an inworld group you can join. We hope it will become a place where Residents can go to Meditate & learn about psychic developement, using such tools as Tarot cards. Learning how to contact spirit, use candle magic, learn about the Elements & what the Universe & Positive thought can do to enhance your life & Your well being.

There is already a place for meditation, & a group joiner so you can collect the information from the books provided.

There is a fun tarot card reader too...

So come on over to Pisces, you will find Divine Intuition just behind the shops on the corner of the Region, we welcome all & invite anyone who wishes to perhaps share their stories with us

Blessed be!

Out & About in Inworldz!

WOW this world of ours is really growing!

We went shopping recently & there is just so much to choose from now & more & more shops going up almost daily! I do still feel its more of a Content creators world at the moment... ie, we seem to have more creators than actual none creative residents, but I am sure those numbers will become more evened out as time goes on, especially once we have physics. Saying that though, personaly, we have seen our Residential Rentals rise recently & we do have more themed Residential sims coming soon.. Were growing to meet the demand... were also seeing more Lifestyle Residents joining Inworldz, which pleases us, personaly, no end, being Lifestylers ourselves ;)
Expect to see more Adult Orientated Creations popping up as this community grows... keeping the mainland PG means nothing Adult should be seen publicly, so any New residents coming to our world would have to go seeking that which they may desire.... which is as it should be in our opinion.

Were seeing more & more Events popping up too, so there is a lot going on Inworldz now... parties, clubs, Live Music, hunts, Art... I think the timing of some of these still need to be spread out a bit, to include more timezones, but it is getting better.

Ele is about to open a Land exchange this will be Regions that have lapsed into arrears, its a good idea I think for anyone wishing to expand. Set up fees have already been paid on them so your saving 75$... actually take away the 25$ fee for renaming & moving & your still saving 50$


Its all Good in Inworldz ;)

Changes within Our World

We knew it would happen once the grid began to grow, we hoped & still hope, that the community Spirit we all felt when we 1st rezzed in can be sustained throughout our lives in there so it never becomes the unfriendly, greedy place that SL became. But already we see wars going on within our community... Residents being afraid to speak their mind on the forums for fear of being trolled, or worse still ... discovering their content being 'copied' & offered at rediculously low prices...They may not be direct copies, but they are being made to look similar, even named similar & then offered either freely or for next to nothing by creators who should know better.Why has this war taken place you might wonder? Because of pricing... most residents feel, ourselves included... that there is not a need for creators from SL to bring their content here & double the price tag, which is exactly what a lot of them have been doing. That is their right of course, it wasnt a You Must not do this it was more of a Why do you do this.. when there is no need. There are no real overheads in IW, uploading is completely free, tiers are a fraction of what they cost in SL. I know its harder to bring out content here... I know because I have been doing it since April 2009! I have my work arounds which I have passed along to new creators coming in, but that shouldnt make for a hefty price ticket.. should it? All of what has been said has been Advise only, yet one creator has taken this whole thing personaly & saw it as a direct attack upon themselves, which simply isnt true... but what they are now doing is completely underhanded in our opinion and will not only hurt them as creators in IW but will hurt IW itself because of the messege this creator is sending out in her SL profile.

We do want other creators & more residents to come & make IW their Home... we ourselves have invited many creators in, offered them shops & advise... I say again Advise on pricing, work arounds, etc etc But at the end of the day it is thier own customer base that will debate if they are too high in their pricing or not... if they feel its too high, they simply wont buy & sales will stop... so that is when any good & wise creator will take a good look at the world they are in & make the adjustments needed to please their customers within THAT world... not start a war amongst your competitors & troll them because of Advise they gave.

So to all VW creators out there we assure You that You are very welcome here in Inworldz The Founders are the best you will ever come across... the community is still growing & thriving in spite of what some trolls are trying to do... best thing to do with trolls is ignore them & eventually they will get the messege
