As OpenSim expertise continues to enhance, costs are dropping. The typical 15,000-prim area in OpenSim is now $12.89 a month.
The median value is now $10 a month, unchanged from what we had in 2021, however the common has fallen greater than $2, from $15.18 final yr.
And that quantity is misleading since some grids don’t even supply areas that maintain as few as 15,000 prims. For instance, Wolf Territories Grid solely affords 80,000-prim areas. Their areas are additionally larger than the Second Life customary — they’re four-by-four variable-sized areas, that means that they’re the equal of 16 Second Life areas in land space.
That’s common. Many grids now supply varregions permitting patrons to get an excessive amount of land at a really cheap value.
Historic land costs in OpenSim. (Hypergrid Enterprise information.)The bottom value for a standard-sized areas, not counting particular gross sales, reductions, or low-prim areas, is $3.76 a month at Digital Life Brasil.
Many of the massive industrial grids, together with DigiWorldz, Kitely, AviTron, GBG World, Alternate Metaverse, AviWorlds, and ZetaWorlds, vary between $8 and $15 a month.

Solely 4 of the 31 grids that publish their costs have been at $20 or over. Two of them have been precisely $20. The very best-priced grid, Exo-Life, expenses $50 per area.

Does your grid supply area leases and isn’t on our lists? Electronic mail me at [email protected] with a hyperlink to your land rental web page. This needs to be a public web page in your web site that lists prim totals and land space for every area bundle.
I might additionally wish to remind grid homeowners to make it simpler for folks to purchase land. Try the acquisition web page at Get together Vacation spot Grid. I really like their web page! GBG World, ZetaWorlds, DigiWorldz, Dynamic Worldz, and Discovery Grid even have good, clear area order pages with “purchase now” buttons. All you actually need from a purchaser is their avatar identify, the identify of their new area, and their cash. And it’s okay to get their cash first, ask for his or her avatar and area identify later.
And even the avatar identify is elective — do you actually care if folks purchase areas with out registering in your grid? You get their cash, and another grid has to take care of their inventories.
The better it’s for patrons to search out your land buy web page and purchase a area, the extra money you’ll make from land gross sales. Every extra hoop you pressure folks to leap by will scale back the variety of clients in half. Individuals will go elsewhere to purchase their areas — or simply run a free DreamGrid on their residence pc. The rationale they’re paying cash is in order that they don’t have to fret about something like server capability or the variety of cores or the allotted database measurement. Put all that stuff in a pop-up information sheet that’s usually out of the best way so it doesn’t scare folks. And by folks, I imply me. I used to be a math main however I nonetheless don’t like seeing an enormous wall of numbers.
