    Orient and Plato, Alternative Victorian Fiction

    Two Steampunk regions that are ongoing works in progress, but visitors are always welcome to drop by to see how things are progressing, or just for a chat. The main aim is to create an atmosphere, of an alternative Victorian Fiction. The warehouse on Orient 'Vbinnia's Emporium' is close to what I want to achieve. The Docks on Plato are also moving in the right direction. Enjoy your visit!

3RD ROCK GRID

May 2013 50% off Special - By Netara

Written by Netera Landar    Saturday, 25 May 2013 06:59

One week left to stake your 3RG new region claim at 50% off!

By Netera Landar

Third Rock Grid has been burning the virtual midnight oil for months upgrading equipment and moving the servers to a faster and more reliable data center. What this translates to is “previously unheard of reliability and smoothness on the grid” according to co-owner Butch Arnold.

“As soon as we got all of our servers moved and put in their new home at our new data center, a faster internet service provider than we had prior, we started seeing a steady increase in user-login hours,” Arnold stated. “That and an increase in new citizens joining the grid.”

The sale is not only increasing regions to the grid, but bringing in new citizens to experience this virtual playground in a whole new way! The Music Scene is going strong. Music events are being planned 7 days a week during core European and USA times.

Listen up, you have to move fast on this. There’s one week left on this great deal. The grid bosses are offering all private regions at 50% off with no setup fees. How can you beat that? You can’t. Get this, as long as there are no changes to the region ownership, prim size, and the rental payments are kept up to date, the price is frozen.

The sale is the perfect opportunity for you to jump in-world to check out the Live Music program and available land. The program manager, and her assistant, work day and night going to gigs and booking new talent. What really rocks is the fact that 3rd Rock Grid is a canvas waiting for you to build your vision, to bring in your role-playing groups, to set up your art galleries or simply to communicate with some of the greatest virtual people you can ever meet.

Arnold mentioned that on a technical basis 3rd Rock Grid is housed and supported in a professional manner making sure the grid is as secure, stable, and available. Here is the link to the order/price list for the May Special! http://www.3rdrockgrid.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=321&Itemid=88

 

“The people in 3rd Rock Grid are pleasant folk with a global representation of perspectives, 3rd Rock Grid's visual environment is great fun to explore. We will soon be having land specials on specific themes, but that will a later announcement.”,  said Lazuli Pooraka. “

“Above all, the citizen base treats people with respect and expects the same in return,” he told me. “They all understand that behind each of our avatars is a human being with feelings. Most of the people you will meet in 3rd Rock Grid are also very empathetic and caring about their fellow citizens. As one of our more entertaining citizens puts it, 3rd Rock Grid is "The Grown Ups Grid!

Third Rock grid is here to welcome you, check out an event or two, come explore, and by all means have fun!

 

3rd Rock Music Village

Written by Netera Landar    Thursday, 23 May 2013 14:55

Creating a grid from land and water, on some far away server, is a considerable challenge. Giving it life and purpose is the other side of the drawing board. Because music has been the central focus on 3RG, it’s no surprise that the owners are developing Music Village

“From my perspective, the Music Village will fill a void for music lovers, live artists and DJs. Back in Second Life, our ROB clubs were famous for generating interest in people becoming a DJ or going live with a skill or talent,” said Lazuli Pooraka. “Music has been a big part of the virtual lives of citizens in 3RG since the beginning; this effort simply makes a direct path for music ‘people’ to see more of the advantages of the Virtual Music Scene.”

Punk Rock provided a tour of the village on the other side of the Welcome Area. Twelve clubhouses have been placed and will soon be available for fans of musicians. It’s a simple concept and should work if fans establish a fan group and organize discussions or activities.

“I think it’s a combination of all the ideas focusing on music that have been happening for the last six months, here on 3RG. We think it will be useful to the artists, followers and DJs to have a gathering place for people around music,” explained Punk.

The owners of the clubs will be allowed a set amount of prims for group decor at their clubhouse. The website will inform users how to get a stream and set it up, how to get people to join your fan group and how to post events.

At the end of the path, in Music Village, is a venue for DJs to test their skills at entertaining. The décor reminds me of a rl disco with its bright, flashing colors. It looks like a fun place to hang out and hear some 70’s, 80’s popular tunes or even contemporary favorites. Smooth jazz is played around the clock. Check it out when you can and set up a music group focusing on your real life or virtual world favorite artists!

50% OFF All Private Regions!

As you may or may not know, 3rdrockgrid.com has been working very hard the past couple of months upgrading our equipment and moving our servers to a faster and more reliable datacenter. These changes have provided us with previously unheard of reliability and smoothness on our grid.

To celebrate we have decided to offer all private regions at a previously unheard of "50%" off* and no setup fees for the entire month of May!

These prices are good for new and existing region owners but does not apply to any regions already owned - new orders only.

Thats right! 50% off.
Any private region(s) you purchase during the month of May will be 50% off each month for the entire time you own your private region(s).

At these prices you can afford to have all of the land you have ever wanted!

Want to save even more??

These monthly prices will be good for the entire time you own your private region(s) and there are no setup charges. The only catch.... these prices are non transferrable. If you sell your private region(s) the new owner will be charged our regular monthly fees. If you give up or lose your private region(s) due to non payment and you later decide you want them back you will be charged our regular rates.

*New region orders only. If you decide to later upgrade the prim count of your "Sales" region you will be charged regular monthly prices so please consider this at the time of order placement.
