Central Grid has moved to become the first grid using the OpenSim platform to bring inworld currency to it's users. They will be called Cyber Coins with C$ being it's active symblol. OpenSim Grid's have all been fairly equal untill now. There has been no true way to establish an economy. This will now be possible in CG. Currency has been active in a private test grid for some time now to ensure that it functions properly and is secure. There also has been extensive work to create an exchange sytem on the website for users to be able to purchse, trade to other avatars, and sell Cyber Coins. CG will be selling C$ at the rate of C$200 to $1.00 USD. We will be working this week to add it to Central Gird. CG currently has 2228 user accounts with 2596 avatars and 348 regions. The current monthly tier fee for regions is $75.00 USD. This rate will be changing to $100.00 USD once the Cyber Coins become active. All regions that are currently online or that are activated before the Cyber Coins go live will lock in their monthly tier rate at the $75.00. We have also recently added several more servers to allow for the expected rapid increase of regions. Come join in the excitement as Central Grid pushes beyond the limits of OpenSim.

Aside from the terrible typos in a
PR piece (symblols? Really?), the announcement that this new currency will cause the price of a new sim to go up is ludicrous. 100 bucks a month? Why not just spend 75 a month and get an OpenSpace on LL's grid? Or, I dunno, 10 bucks a month and connect a Colo box to one of the other non-shady Grids?
They might be fuckers, but at least they're not scummy fuckers like Centralgrid.
