We’ve just become aware that Discovery Grid is is closing down… well… kinda…
Apparently, it will migrate to a completely different 3D “gaming” platform we’ve never heard of.
The practical upshot is that will displace at least a handful of OpenSimulator users.
The advice from the Discovery Grid owner / operator is to move to Utopia Skye Grid. Our own advice is to move to CandM World – a thoroughly reliable and high performance grid which is never going away.
As Discovery Grid runs the NGC fork of OpenSim, outgoing users will likely experience some problems exporting their inventories and region backups – particularly where objects / assets are designated as “no transfer”. There’s not really much that can be done about that, and sometimes (but only sometimes) it’s appropriate.
Anyways, if you’re a DG refugee do feel welcome to come and talk to us about your options in regard to moving to a decent grid who will look after you 🩵
