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

Update: Servers Compromised
[quote="Elenia"]There are only a few more regions down at this point, 90% of the grid is up and operational, while Tranq and Legion finish off their parts they are working on. I've replaced the loginscreen to reflect that the grid is up and operational.
At this point, I see our support has been bombarded, heh, and will tackle that for a while here, then call it a night. SL transactions, will be processed in the morning, then I will tackle the last remaining regions that were on the fully compromised server and get them up and running again. During that time, I will start processing orders as well, as I know I'm over 48 hours behind on those, my sincere apologies everyone.
Hopefully, by tomorrow night, we'll be completely caught up in support, orders and regions. That's the goal anyways![/quote]
Well 5 out of 9 of our Regions were back online last night & all looking good ;) The community really rallied here to show support to each other & most especially to the founders.. I am sure a lot has been learnt from this, security has been made more secure so it all helps along the way. Inworldz has survived this latest attack & will come out a lot safer because of it... big round of applause to our Founders for acting so quickly!

Servers Compromised
[quote="Elenia"]Ok, so some information, or at least what we know at this point. InWorldz was targeted by a botnet which successfully compromised 1 server completely, and all the regions on it (I will list those out here). 5 other servers were accessed, but unsuccessful, as we got ahold of our provider and they shut down those servers and worked with us to block out the intruders.
No data was compromised for assets, inworld items, inventories or anything else, that is the good news. We have taken a backup already of those, in case something more happens, all passwords have been changed to the site, grid, our accounts and so on. We do highly recommend changing your passwords, as although we do not have any evidence they got to the database, and the passwords in there are encrypted, we'd rather our residents not take any chances.
We are evaluating the information and logs we have of what was done already, and will continue to do so, security precautions that are even tighter will be enforced tonight before we bring the grid back up.
That's as much as we know without boring you guys or compromising more information, and we'll give you a heads up when we're close to bringing the grid back up.[/quote]
Again Griefers have struck our lovely grid & tried to bring it to its knees... well I have a message for them.... It wont work! Instead of griefing IW why not just get on with improving your own god damn grid!

What IW has done for me...
What IW has done for me...
Oh wow what it has done for me... us...
I came here alone, even though I already knew Him from OLG, we were dear friends for a long time...
Even had my own sim for a while ~ Cactus Flats
We would talk for hours here.. you couldnt do that in SL with all its 'noise' We were only a few then, but we kept close, had lots of meet ups with the founders as being few we could do that without crashing a sim lol. I remember the day we had 20 on IDI at once & thought wow this is good!
my 1st day here I made a palm tree & called it Ele, that tree is now planted at our office.. its a reminder of just how at Home I had felt on my 1st days here..
I have learnt so much from so many great ppl, such as mouser, & blad & Him of course
Inworldz has given us back our dreams & right now we are living them out & very Happy to be here, we love the sense of a community here... we have some fantastic creators & even more fantastic residents ... Oh & of course we would have none of this had it not been for the dream that Ele, Legion & co 1st had, long ago on that soon (tm) grid.... they vowed to make it a better place & they have done exactly that!
