Update!

So it's been a little while, and I just wanted to check in to let you know what I've been up to. First of all, I have my very own region called Creekdale. I chose to have it as part of the mainland area, more specifically, directly north of The Meadow (the shopping region with all the free stores for residents). I've always liked being part of a mainland and the prices for a mainland region are really comparable. There are other options available also that can be viewed here  .  I have another project in mind and might take advantage of the 2x2 / 30,000 prim region in the future but for now this is working great for me.

AviUnite

Although this grid has been around in other incarnations (HavenYourWorld) its transformation is quite new. From what I understand, it was not previously open to the hypergrid, but now it is. This of course is a huge draw these days as many people want freedom to choose a home grid while still visiting those who prefer other grids. I read about AviUnite at HypergridBusiness and decided to check it out. The first thing that impressed me was the ease of use for potential 'new to virtual worlds' users. The welcome area is not overly complicated, is focused on getting a new user started and still looks nice. The Initial Starting Point You arrive and are greeted with boards that seemed to rez quite quickly and are easily instructed with what to do. Six avatars to choose from (you arrive as a cloud) Instructions on AO and Hud use Then off to the Welcome Hud By the time I realized I liked AviUnite enough to stay, I had already dressed myself in my fav freebie
