April 25, 2025 - All Swondo landowners OSgrid Inventories which we saved before the closing, are succesfully uploaded back to OSgrid.

April 23, 2025 - All of Swondo OSgrid regions are rebuild into their last OSgrid state or their last Swondo World shadow copy state. Whichever the landowner preferred. Soon we begin with uploading the inventory backups of the landowners for who we made IAR backups.

April 17, 2025 - OSgrid has come back to life. We are currently working on getting all Swondo regions running again on OSgrid. This will take a few days. First we are restarting/rebuilding some public regions to test if this rebuilding while everyone is doing this currently is going as planned by OSgrid. If this goes well then the leased out sims will follow. Every landowners gets notified personally when his or her land is running again. Landowners who used their shadow copy in Swondo World can chose in which version they want their new setup in OSgrid to be. Chosing between the last OSgrid state or the last Swondo World state.

April 12, 2025 - Swondo World is off-line for repairs

March 5, 2025 - OSgrid has come to a halt which will last weeks. You are welcome at Swondo World. All OSgrid Swondo landowners now have their regions setup at Swondo World. Swondo world can be visited by Hypergrid teleport or direct login if you received an account. A Swondo World account is currently only possible for Swondo Landoners. If you like to lease land directly at Swondo World, use the landorder page please.

February 27, 2025 - Swondo World (grid) is online and can be visited via Hypergrid and with direct login. Swondo World avatars are currently only handed out to Swondo OSgrid landowners. Swondo World is created to give OSgrid landowners acces to their Swondo hosted regions even when OSgrid falls off-line. This fall-back feature will remain as an extra service to Swondo land owners in OSgrid from now on.

February 18, 2025 - OSgrid is sometimes online and sometimes not. Most likely due to everyone taking IAR's which is heavely burden on their servers. Please note that your Swondo land is in no harms way. Swondo has several backups of your land and creates backups every day. Your inventory is hosted by OSgrid servers and will reset back to zero at march 21, 2025. Every Swondo landowner has received multiple e-mails about what you have to do to prevent your total loss of Inventory. If you still do not know what to do, contact Sylvia. Doing nothing is no option if you do not want to lose your avatar looks and your inventory.
