Speculoos
“Speculoos” is the original name of a traditional Belgian cookie… But enough of historical considerations. Speculoos World is an OpenSimulator 3D virtual world. You can meet people in a 3D environment, build objects, landscapes and buildings, hang out…
Opensimulator
Speculoos World is based on OpenSimulator, an open-source 3D virtual environment server.

Warning
I run this grid for my own pleasure to see what creatives can do if they have a place to do it. That’s why there is usually land available for free. And also why there are some rules to follow. The complete regions are available upon request (and under conditions).
This site was initially supposed to be translated into at least French, Dutch and English. However, it is a small grid, maintained by … me. So don’t blame me if most of the content is only in English. It’s not my native language (so don’t blame me for the mistakes either), but it’s the one that works best for most visitors.
Let’s take the .world
Our domain name is now speculoos.world. Speculoos users should refresh grid URLs in viewer settings (grid manager) to have the best in-world experience.

Security in metaverse, an article by Maria Korolov

Server down
We had to shut the servers down for the moment, until we get some time to check if our security is ok and if there is something to fix or not. Our current planning does not allow us to manage that. There is no scheddulle to bring the grid back online. If members wants...
Dummy little monkey wants to carry attention
Thanks to all for warning us of the return of the griefer, who used our grid this time as a start of his playground. It looks like the toddler was crying alone in his bedroom because nobody talked about him anymore, so he came back. We banned him of course. We...
