Why donate to OSgrid?
If you’ve ever played in Second Life, the virtual social world, then you probably are aware of how wonderfully therapeutic it is to be in that world. You can make friends from all over the world, you can attend so many types of social events, you can create content, start organizations in world, dance and even fly!
If you are in a wheelchair, you can be a dancer, if you are shy you can meet new friends easily. You can walk around as a dinosaur, a unicorn or a fairy. You can own yachts, jet planes, space ships! You can dress up in gorgeous clothes and avatars, even role play as a member of a ancient society or a historical one. Educators use the virtual worlds to teach and even to offer virtual graduation ceremonies https://archive.org/details/UHLTECGRAD2018final_201805 Virtual social worlds are a god send to people who are isolated from society in real life.
Virtual Social worlds like Second Life or Inworldz charge to rent space to create your dream home, and it costs money for everything you need.
Open Sim Grid is completely free. The developers that created Open Sim Grid wanted to ensure that those who could not afford the land fees and materials costs of the other grids had a place where they could log in and have all those things. There have been many over the years who have tried to insist that Open Sim Grid become a economy based grid (one that charges you for everything) but the developers have stood fast, refusing to charge.
Because of their basic generosity, the grid relies on donations to keep the servers running, the grid operating system safe, and up to speed. They donate their time to admin the grid for free. But, the servers are aging and they need to be replaced with newer hardware. That is why we are asking for your donation today, without the kind support of people like you, the grid cannot go on.
Please consider donating to Open Sim Grid, for the sake of those who’s life is made brighter by this virtual world, but who cannot afford the other grids. A one time donation would be greatly appreciated, but a monthly donation of just five or ten dollars a month would ensure a dependable income to cover the hardware expenses. Thank you so much!
