NikCruze Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 A friend of mine on SL had heard of another sim called 'Inworldz'. After looking into it a little online (I am not making an acc there, I don't have the time for two sims lol), it appears to be so completely alike to SL in so many ways that it is either an LL sim or it's ripping SL severely off! The viewer people use for it is IDENTICAL to the phoenix V1 viewer. Could someone please clarify the maker of this 'new' sim and put my mind at ease. Thank you.

Six Igaly Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 No, not LL. It is Inworldz: http://inworldz.com And there are more like OpenSim: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Main_Page Viewers are open source so yes they can be similar. I think you can even use one viewer for all virtual worlds (btw a sim is a piece of land within a virtual world). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 it's an open sim project ran by someone else using LL's open source platform pretty much.. there are a few of them around.. most of them lag pretty hard...i tried inworldz before and it wasn't as bad as the rest..it's kind of like going back in time to around 2006 in SL time.. for me anyways.. it's good to see some things like that..but i doubt they will ever catch up to the SL level as far as users...but you never know..

Monti Messmer Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hi, this are not SIMs they are more Worlds. The term SIM in SL means one square of land as you can see them on the World-Map. Thats one of the big differences. Inworldz or .... only have a few SIMs running and less members; this isn´t allways bad Monti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiked Anton Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 pretty much what they said...if you have your own server, you can have your own sims for free (inworldz) and they are all still laggy except for inworldz which is still a little laggy, but they dont have the same resources as LL, and i believe some of the same developers ( albiet disgruntled ones) broke from LL and developed inworldz....i could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're derived from the viewer source LL released years ago, and legitimately reverse-engineered server code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claireschen Hesten Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 as other SL type worlds none of which created or maintained by LL go Inworldz is one of the better grids i've used naturally it's going to be laggy but when you first land you can walk around chat with people pick up some freebies and de-noobify yourself. i haven't had much success with OS Grid which you might like to investigate i can only stay in one sim with out the viewer just vanishing luckily everything is free and there are free uploads so you can import your own SL builds and fashion creations in there and, Avination (if you don't want to put RL money to spend inworld you won't be a fan of this grid) i was not very impressed that freebies are banned on there when you naturally assume the stuff you see for sale when you first land are free if you can't put money in you'll have to stay looking nooby.

Ishtara Rothschild Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 These reverse-engineered grids are still small compared to the the SL grid, with less content, less infrastructure, a smaller user base and less functionality. Should they ever become a serious competition for SL, Linden Lab's lawyers will find ways to have them closed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
