For some time a group if interested people from different parts of the world have been working on a full role-play system for OpenSimulator; enabling players to take part with a range of characters such as Humans, Angels, Vampires, Lycans and hybrids such a Blood Demons and Moon Angels.
This work is rapidly getting to a point where it will be available for wider testing.
Completed so far are the following -
We are working hard behind the scenes to get this working. We already have a few people building and testing components. We are hoping to include more people soon.
It will be possible for anyone to get involved without the need to transfer any "real" money in-world.
We have set up a role-play currency that will allow people to earn money by performing tasks and can be used to buy potions, weapons, shields and range of other items.
We have also built an option that if people want to buy items by transferring money in-world. This is likely to be limited to grids that use PODEX initially but we are happy to discuss other options with Grid owners.
We have been testing across a number of grids and basically the answer is yes.
Like with many things in OpenSimulator when you start to use the hypergrid this can cause some problems with attached huds, etc. so you may need to do a quick detach and re-attach when you move between grids.
