As kitely is innovating and keeping up with current OS development...it is, imo, the goto grid for those commercially oriented...and in fact, even for those who like the free opensim grids as their pricing is in line with those also.
The trend is to rent regions for lower costs due to the lower costings of server use.
I do expect others will copycat some of the concepts Kitely is doing, or, they will go away, eventually.
Once Kitely opens to the hypergates and the rest of the Metaverse this grid will boom big time....watch and see-)))
Very much so agree as sl is a class range by itself and to try to copy it will get noplace even if someone offered more why try to reinvent the wheel,
Also what drew me to kitely was the options of having a opensim grid with added features to come
also the safety of being able to open a store in the marketplace and inworld that has the tools of a closed grid like sl,
Kitely dollars can be used to pay my land fee that brings a big smile on my face
As for inworldz in this article also inworldz employee in this article it must be sad to be them to try to control anyone as the thought police,
Never been a resident in inworldz but everyone who is my friend has tried it then left fast ! ,
My friend Jacob had a really nice store there he was proud of but his rl cancer he fought for years returned so he was sick, he told his group he would not be online much as the VA Hospital the WiFi was bad but he did try to provide customer service but crazy thing was he started logging in and someone was sending him a Uncle Fester avatar from The Adams Family several times that was the most cruel thing and he was very upset as he burst into tears to me on voice chat,
Opensim or not things show who created it but he showed me photos it had no creator nothing in inspection he contacted inworldz owners no reply
he opened several tickets over a months time still nothing he told me he thought it was from a misunderstanding he had with a roleplay clan in inworldz
and even contacted them to apologize to fix things but his health had taken a bad turn by then he was offline 6 months but never went back,
Some refuse to understand that a real person is on the other end of a pc and we never know the battles they maybe fighting.
