Hosting a Region on your own server?

Is there a way, or will there be a way in the future to host a region on your own server, so that you do not have to pay to rent their server.

To be honest, I don't know, not being an opensimulator user myself. I would suggest you contact their support and ask them directly. :smileyhappy:

No chance to copy your whole inventory over to opensim.

Full perm items like prim builds can be exported then imported, notecards, textures... but thats only a little part of your inventory.

The reason it's a NO is because they want you to pay.  It's called a "revenue stream" and it's how LL gets its money in order to develop and maintain SL.

No money...no SL

Others have provided other detail but remember that those offerings only exist because the simulator code was reverse engineered from LL.

can make your own SL-like world on it on your own computer. can also hookup your world to the open hypergrid if you want

cant hook up to SL tho. SL is a closed world and is not part of the hypergrid

While an item with "Full Permissions" in Second Life *can* be imported into other grids, the polite thing to do is to contact the object creator first.  Most of them will allow you to export their items, some of them won't.
