Update: Manual activation for Alpha testing accounts is no longer needed. You can do all yourself now. More information here.
Rezzable is proud to announce the opening of our 'Rezzable Alpha Grid' - based on the OpenSim system - for testing by our fellow virtual world citizens, and invite you to take part in it. Currently we are running eight sims, including a replica of Greenies Home and a bunch of empty ones with plywood in them. Our stress tests will take place at Greenies OpenSim Home and takes the form of a giant party, with host Angelina Rhode. (Yeah, we've duplicated her too! ;)) Theme: Find the 7 Differences. Dates are Wednesday December 17th and Thursday December 18th starting 1PM SLT.

Read on: How to Register, How to Log In and err... How to Party!
Registering for the Rezzable Alpha Grid
You want to make sure you have your avatar - which will bear the same name as your SL-self - all set for the stress test partying, so you don' t have to register 'last minute'. There are 3 requirements for you to get achieve a great career as testing animal avatar:
- You have an account at rezzable.com. (sign in or use the avatar link station to sign up)
- Your Second Life avatar is linked to your account at rezzable.com.
Check this at your 'My Account' page. If you see 'Validated avatar name', all is OK!
If your avatar is not yet linked to your Rezzable account, you may fix this using the avatar link station that you can find at Greenies Home outside the shop (TP). - You are part of our 'Alpha Grid Testing' group. To be added to that, leave a comment here with your Second Life Avatar Name, your rezzable.com account name and your computer operating system (especially important if you don't run Windows!).
If the above requirements are fulfilled, and you go to your 'My Account' page, you will see under 'Virtual Experience' the option to create your avatar.
Avatar Templates
You can make a few choices about your initial avatar. We also have a bunch of stuff out on the table in the Greenies Kitchen area that you can grab to look less noobistic. You can of course also import your own stuff or you can use Second Inventory--but we need to make a few changes on the log-in server next week to allow this to work properely.
How to Log In to the Rezzable Alpha Grid
Once you are in the Private Grid Alpha test group we will send you a link with instructions.
Stress Test Party - Find the 7 Differences
December 17th & 18th starting at 1PM SLT
Now everything works perfectly well - if not you have already reported it in the members-only 'Private Alpha Testing Group' - you can prepare for the party! Have a look & play around and see what's already possible - or not. Customize your avatar, upload a texture or two - no charges! - and torture a prim. If you don't have the textures or skills needed to custimize your avatar, you have an endless budget to go shopping on the Greenies Home Kitchen Table including prim hair and Greenies' avatars. But most of all, get your avatar ready for Wednesday & Thursday's stress test parties. We will reward the 3 avatars that stand out in the following categories with a 2000L$ gift voucher which you can spend at Greenies Home Shop (Second Life) and a Greenies' Cat:
- BYOT (Bring your own Textures)
- Hardcore N00b
- Best Clone
All this of course whilst being entertained by Miss Angelina Rhode, and on lovely tunes supplied by Rezzable House DJ's. And surely, don't forget about great company you'll be in: Foolish Frost, Ordinal Malaprop, Lokum Shilova, RightasRain Rimbaud, ... have already confirmed their attendance. Also on our 'invitees' list: Pavig Lok, LittleToe Bartlett, My Mackenzie, Beatrix Newt, Kaeli Candour, Ponk Bing, ... and many other great Rezzable Creators. As the Rezzable Alpha Grid exists out of 8 sims, and we are after all stress testing, we have room for about 750 avatars still, so if you haven't already, do sign up! I can testify, it's definitely a weird kind of 'Hell Yeah!' feeling to stand in Greenies Home, but not in Second Life.

If I rotate those to 'Private Rezzable Alpha Grid Test Team' I get PRAGTT, how does that sound? ;))
Instructions for your mission will be delivered to your mailboxes shortly! Happy testing!
@Miss Ana H erzog: You will need to verify your Second Life avatar with rezzable.com using the avatar link station first, else no acess.
@Sin Trenton: Keep us posted about 'turning time' on the Private Grid.. hope it's less than 12 minutes! ;)
@Winter: You may bring your fangs (using Second Inventory) or build your own, ONLY if you promise to bite me exclusively. (Need to insert that in the ToS I assume? ;-))

@Fauve Aeon : Aberdon Enigma's ability to create an avatar for the Rezzable Private Alpha Grid was confirmed via email. Forgot to mention him here because he signed up for testing just before I posted that comment. But if all well, he should have access. :)
As for the building and use of the OpenSim area, take a look at the two posts in the PRAGTT Group (link to that via your email, or on your right side, see 'Groups' in the menu. They are titled 'New Builds in Progress' and PGA Rough Map. I trust those will answer that question adequately! ;)

heh,I seem to remember saying
Thu, 12/18/2008 - 22:07 — Anonymouse (not verified)heh,
I seem to remember saying this was what rezzable was going to do, during the time when RAR was vying for 'anti lindenlab personality of the year' with the prokster.
Now that everything I've said has been proven right and i'm vindicated, I've no axe to grind, I suppose.
Good luck with it all, looks quite cool, visually.
Couple of things though, if you're going to invite people to "byot" you should make clear who'll own that IP and what'll happen to it once its uploaded to your servers. People know, or will come to quite quickly, that everything uploaded to your servers, you basically have a full mods copy of - they're going to need to know things about IP rights that arent set out in the inviting but too brief copy above.
Secondly, now that you've burned your bridges at lindenlabs, what happens if you cant actualize this exodus you envisage? Just curious, the last revenue model didnt work too well because of costs and lack of cash inflow, how is lowering your potential audience going to help?
I'm not really having a go, I said this was what was going to happen yonks ago, and here it is. I'm just interested, curious, now - whats the plan if 6 months in, nobody's showing up, where does your business go from there?
Yours, the ever inimitable,
Anonymouse. OF DOOM.
(If people are going to accuse me of causing drama, I figure I may as well have a dramatic title. Something about a big nondescript mouse of doom is just funny yet just sinister enough to do the job, wouldnt you agree?)

@Prosseedr, you will first need to validate your avatar as you fail to meet the 'SL avatar is linked' condition: If your avatar is not yet linked to your Rezzable account, you may fix this using the avatar link station that you can find at Greenies Home outside the shop (TP).

(^....kNOW !
Video, Film, Radio, and Computer Tech
are going to bash into each other,
and create this new form of art.
A brand new format of media.
It's already happening..
This movement started out by giving CD players
the capability to re-arrange
the song sequence playback..
Once that happened, the next step was
to give MORE listening options..
allowing the person listening to decide
what kind of undertrack they wanted.
Dance? Drummy? Bassy?
Which lyrics do we want to hear to what music?
Do we (the listeners)
want more re-verb on that one guitar lick?
How about cutting the guitar OUT of the song,
so the listener can practice THEIRS !
Basically;
give more control to the listener/viewer
over what they are hearing/watching.
(Look at Thomas Dolby's musical video/cd-rom...
Prince has starting to do the same.. )
CD-rom and computers' new juxtaposition
in the mainstream pubics' homes is leaving people
owning their own editing machines.
If they have the materials available to them for experimental mixing,
more will learn how to create..
.their "OWN" music.
.their "OWN" art.
..using clip art..
.and Medea encyclopedias.
There is no turning back.
People will come to not need special effects wizards.
More of the mainstream are going to insist on creative control
of what they choose to buy..
So..
The persons that create the initial,
or original multimedusa enCYCLOPSEdIDeas
will be the ones making more of the profits during the next 5 years.

Fri, 12/26/2008 - 13:09 — Vint FalkenVivianne Cassavetes, welcome to PGA testing. Further instructions via e-mail.
@Prosseedr: I was always happy enough when I had the choice between 'the normal song' and a 'club remix' for the bass. :D But yeah, you're right, but it has started a while ago already too. Affordable and more easy accesible software (the internets), more affordable gear, and also a trend that puts 'uniqueness' (and 'do you own thing') as 'in' opposed to the former 'standardisation'. Be original seems to be the motto now, where it used to be 'conform!' (Although this might just be a pretty varnish, as below that, it's still about 'conform!' and the be unique is something that 's now needed to confirm ? Maybe that's human nature. :d I can only *gasp* at the number I payed for my first - second handed - DSLR 5 years ago... . And also education is following the trend of 'creativity' and 'mixed media'. (I'm still one of the gang that had to learn everything by head though. Sometimes that makes me wonder if for eg. maths knowing how to get a function graph on your pc/calculator is the same as knowing why it is that way and how it's composed/has to be drawn. But well.)
I believe whatever the future will hold - be it more mixed media, a 3D web, ... - we will only be looking at it with amazement, trying to keep up with those younger than we are... . But for now, I like this cult of 'more creativity'. (Be aware though, it's mostly only the people that find itself on the web that got this creativy & do-it-yourself-art boost. The others still settle for TV, and their ephomy of creativity is chosing their own movie from digitial tv in stead of what is programmed. :/ )

"I still recieve the same message that i can't login at my home"
Fri, 01/09/2009 - 19:32 — wakawaka SnookI entered a bug about this on the LL OGP browser about two months ago. What does "home location" mean when you are usig a different grid?
I was able to get around this by keying in the name of the sim as to where i wanted to rez.
I believe this is a viewer error that possibly could be corrected by the launcher.

Cannot login
Fri, 01/09/2009 - 19:40 — quaezar AgnomenI remember i had a similar issue on SL ... sometimes when i had a client crash i could not login to my sim(the region my client crashed) untill the sim was restarded.
It seems the problem lays in the fact the client did not disconnect properly. At the server side the sim did not close database values or other matters (ports)
I discovered that the problem is ip specific. With the same account login in on another ip address is possible.
I am not sure it is related to the same problem...but it has some simulair symptomes.

@Login Isuses - Yes, these troubles were due to 'home region' not being available, as Rezzable 3 - landing area by default - was acting up. It's behaving again, but we're looking into why it was causing us trouble, as to prevent this from the future. I believe there should be a second login option, if the home region is down. (kinda like "the region is currently down, we'll teleport you to a nearby location SL messsage) and hope that gets implemented soon(ish). :)
