I signed up today for an account with the OpenLife Grid virtual world. However, after several attempts I was unable to get online. Either the client got stuck at “waiting for the client handshake,” “you appear to be already logged in ” which I wasn’t) or “We are having trouble connecting you. There may be a problem with your internet connection or the OpenLife servers.” Whatever the issue, I was unable to log in after many attempts.
Here’s the marketing blurb from the home page – errors and all.
“The Openlife Grid is a pioneering virtual world all about it’s (sic) citizens. It’s a place to get together meet friends & make new ones, share a virtual cup of coffee or join the crowd & the music in a happenning ‘hotspot’. Content in world is created by Openlife Citizens, this is the ‘created by users, for users’ concept.“As a citizen you can take up residence with virtual land as a ‘region’ or island or join another users. Use your virtual land to support your virtual life, invite your friends over, create a hotspot, hold an event or meeting, or just show off your 3D Skills to other users.
“All you need is to register & create an avatar free and we’ll give you the ‘viewer’ to connect in world. Your journey could begin in just a few minutes!”
I suppose it could, but in my case it didn’t!
Maybe tomorrow…
