Hi there everyone,
The Avilion Nexus sim is back open. All events on the sim may once again proceed (unless they take place on the Avilion Nexus ground).
Please note that the new battlefield scenario is roughly 80% complete, and is still on track on being completed by Monday evening. Until that time, please hold off on events on the ground unless you have prior approval.
While you may explore the new ground, please be aware that it is still being worked on.
Thanks!
Avilion Haven (homestead) is open to rent. Rent is due the 1st of each month, and if we do not rent it by 7th we will be sending it back to the Lindens.
Sorry for the short notice, but we just found out. If you have any questions feel free to IM me or Mal. We’re are here in the Evening SLT> thanks *S
The Homstead sims in Avilion are rarely available, however, we do have occasional openings. Those who rent the Avilion Homestead sims are granted Estate Manager rights to the sim they rent (we only rent them as a full region). Also, they are rented on a monthly basis only. The theme of each Homestead must be medieval in theme, and they are residential areas only.
Homestead Sim:
Size: 65.536 sq. meters
Prims: 3750
Price: $125 USD per month (approx. L$34,500)
Dust off your saddle shoes, black leather jackets and poodle skirts because it is the 50s all over again at the Avilion Diner (Vale Cloud Ballroom)

GREASE is the word!
Happy Days from the fae of the Mist!
Hello everyone!
As you might have noticed, these pages are currently undergoing some maintainance.
The goal is to make the pages more clear and the information on them easier to access to give you some good assistance in finding out, what’s going on in Avilion.
I have taken over the responsibility of this blog and info pages and I would ask you to send me your stories and bits of information, that you would like to see being published on these pages.
Send an in-world notecard to me, Atzel Congrejo, with your text and topic aand I will have it posted here.
In the meanwhile, please bare with me as long as the pages are being restructured.
Once the site is ready, there will be a site map available to guide you through.

We all love the events that happen here in Avilion, but none of us enjoy the lag. Good news! YOU can help us all out (and yourself too) by doing a few simple things.
1) Sit down: sitting down helps reduce the lag. Sitting can help keep you from crashing, too. Find a seat or sit on the ground, either way, you’re helping yourself and those around you by doing so.
2) Scripted objects: these include AO’s, HUD’s, Radars, Multi Gadgets, weapons, translators and other attachments that do interesting things. You don’t need these for life; you can go without them for a couple hours when you’re at an event. Taking these off completely (not just turning them off) makes a big difference.
3) Remove prims: The poufy skirts, the gorgeous cloaks and other prim items, these are all wonderful things, but in a laggy situation like a tournament, they are a hassle. Wearing a skirt that is on the system layer instead of a prim skirt is a good fix for this is you’re afraid to show your bloomers – err I mean glitch pants.
3b) Avatars with lots of prims: Creatures like dragons and other avatars carrying a lot of prims are encouraged to find an alternative for traffic heavy events, for example a dragon should use their bi-pedal form.
4) Hold your horses: While horses are very nice and we know you’re proud of them, please keep them stabled during events. Please don’t teleport with them still attached. When you teleport with something like that attached to you, not only does it create lag for the people that are at the spot you ported to, but you are very likely to bump into someone too.
Greetings!
Avilion is a warm and friendly home for all, and thus, it gets crowded and those with the incorrect settings end up suffering as a result. Here are some guidelines to help you optimize your systems performance and better enjoy not just Avilion, but your entire SL experience.
1) Relog and Clear your Cache! If you’re lagging, relogging can help get your speed back up. Clearing your cache often is important. You can choose what size to have your cache, but 1000mb is recommended. Your cache is where data about your inventory, textures, and other information is stored. When it gets full you’ll lag and may see items appear missing from your inventory. Clearing your cache will greatly help (unless the inventory loss is due to an SL bug, in which case you should take it up with Linden Lab).
- Your cache options can be found under the Network tab.
-Disk Cache Size – you can use the slider to choose how large or small you want this to be.
-The button ‘Clear Cache’ is what you’ll need to use. Remember to clear your cache often.
2) Keep your draw distance low. You can change your draw distance by going to Edit >> Preferences >> and under the Graphics Tab, you can raise or lower this setting. The higher your draw distance the more lag you’ll feel, so keep it at it’s lowest (64m) to enjoy maximum speed.
3) Terrain Detail and Lighting: In preferences, this is under the Graphics Detail tab. Keeping the terrain detail low will help reduce lag a little bit if you’re running a slower PC. For lighting, local (light from near by objects) is much more aesthetic than just sun and moon, but keeping the setting at sun and moon only will help reduce client side lag.
4) Maximum bandwidth: you can set this under the network tab. If your bandwidth is set too high here and your computer can’t handle it, you will not only be causing problems for yourself, but will choke the sims you’re visiting as well. Higher bandwidth does NOT mean faster performance. Be very careful with this option. Better to err on the side of keeping it low.
Avilion openned up last year (2006) with a Samhain Masquarade Charity ball in the Grove Ballroom. At the time it was the only sim done (with the Original Avilion Mist being built). In that same tradition, we are celebrating her 1 year Anniversary with a Charity Masquerade ball, but this one much different.
The Ball will be held on 4 Sims at the same time. Avilion, Avilion Grove, Avilion Isle, Avilion Mist. and at 2 times 11:00am – 1:00pm and again at 6:00pm – 8:00pm SL Time on 31 Oct 2007. What will make this ball different, other then the fact that it will be held on 4 sims, is that people will have a choice of dress and music.
Avilion: Dress “Sunday Best” Music: Classic Rock
Grove : Dress FORMAL Music: Mushy stuff
Isle: Dress MORE RELAXED Medieval or combat attire ok Music: Classic Rock (11-2) / Club drow style (6-8)
Mist: Dress Casual non-RP Music: mix of about anything
We will have Charity Wells out (yes do we remember those LOL) for donations to be split between Doctors without Boarders, ONE, St Judes CRH, and Toys for Tots.
That’s not all..
1 Nov 2007, there will be 10 hours (10 am – 8 pm) of live music performed in the Crystal Caverns, and piped into all sims except Grove. This is Malakh and my gift to the members of the Avilion Community. Our way of saying thank you for helped her grow into what she is today.
This is the tentative lineup, when we get the final one we will post it for everyone:
10:00 Cylindrian
11:00 tba
