Permanent worlds that can be entered without an event?
Holger_Duempelmann You didn't overlook. Persistent worlds don't exist yet. The closest you could do is to create an event for every day and invite people there - but it will appear in their calendars so I don't really recommend that.
Other option, a hack with with a limited number of people, is to create an event to the future and set people as co-organizers. That way you can join the space in Customize mode- and it doesn't appear in your calendars until at the set date.
So I would suggest you plan some events for certain , shorter timeslots, times a week. That way you can also maximize that people will be there. The problem with loose persistent spaces, especially with small number of users, is that people wander the space lonely most of the time. And it continues that people drop in, check if anyone is there, and leave. So eventually they don't even try out it very often anymore.
I am sufficiently familiar with this discussion from related solutions. There really are pros and cons.
Many rooms with few people is of course also an issue.
But if you consider a mesh as an extension of an intranet or virtual workplace, then there should be room for such things.
The rest is then to be organised via change and adoption procedures.
In an intranet, employees also have permanent access to certain, generally valid information :-).
Time will see :).
- I fully agree there *should* be a persistent space. In the name of the Metaverse it should be not just everlasting space, but a persistent "permanent" space where changes people do would remain and thus it would be .. a kind of real life space. Perhaps a cleaner would need to be called occasionally to reset it to better state. 🙂
Ideally there would be a persistent coffee area / lounge, management group space, project spaces and so on.
At the moment, I am content with events, as it is important to get the foundation great to support new features.
