About This Grid — New World / New Life OpenSim
Welcome to a custom OpenSim grid that combines the legacy New Life concept with the evolving New World ecosystem. This virtual world is designed as a living economy where avatars can work, earn, trade, and participate in a constantly expanding environment.
Economy & Earnings
Residents can earn the internal currency NL $ through various in-world activities. The grid includes a connected BTC PayServer system used for selected actions and future financial features. At the moment, NL $ purchases operate via a test environment (testnet.demo.btcpayserver).
In future releases, official support for BTC and USDT is planned, allowing users to withdraw legitimately earned funds according to platform rules.
Life Simulation
The world is built around a functional life simulation. Avatars can:
- Rent houses and land
- Grow animals, gardens, and crops
- Collect mushrooms and go fishing
- Produce resources that feed the global economy
Products grown on private land are delivered into the world’s supply chain — warehouses, shops, cafés, and workplaces operated by other residents. Eventually, food and resources will be consumed by avatars themselves, creating a full economic loop.
Energy System
Most regions require energy to enter. If your energy reaches zero, access to many locations will be restricted.
A free Energy HUD can be obtained at the Info Center located in the starter region Welcome_Station. This is one of the few areas accessible even without energy.
Events & Rewards
The grid regularly includes prize draws and financial events. Many systems are still under development, and new gameplay mechanics are added gradually as the New World continues to expand.
This project is an evolving virtual society — not just a place to explore, but a world where your activity shapes the economy.
