What's New

2023-08-05: Started hiring

• Only managers and securities. When a club is ready, I will hire DJs and other staff.
• This is because I thought I would not have enough time to build and protect the castle.

2023-05-13: Re-building the ground level.

• It is still work in progress though. Using whiter textures for the castle. I have a reference in the sky, layer 06 ("Dream 06"). 
• I added a city around the castle. If I have more time, I will make it more complex.
• At layer 03 ("Dream 03"), I placed a Japanese shrine and a village. 
• Planning to make a club at the sky layer 02 ("Dream 02"). I have an idea but not sure how it will look like. (At least not the current one.)
• Allowed people talking in the group.
• From the sandbox, people cannot see people at the castle parcel.
• Removed Discord and Slack.
• Details are in my Blog.

2022-01-14: Finished Placing SkyLayers

Near by the landing point, there is a teleporter to go up to the 12th layer. I will keep developing and renovating skylayers including the ground.

2022-01-10: Suggestion Box and some other renovations

1. As I announced in the public group, I finally found an excellent suggestion box that e-mails the content of submitted notecard so that I can read them even if I have to be away from SL. It compensates my disadvantages over the other places managed by majority in SL.

The location is as follows, but I will add some more when sky places are ready.

2. I have been repairing sky private rooms with some suggestions my close friends. It will take time but please look forward to see them.

3. The prices of the rental parcels are fixed.

2022-01-06: We are going to rename the sim

The sim itself is what the founders originally bought. The new name of the sim is "Dragons Dream."

This is because not to forget about the founders and our origin.

Of course, when there are a lot of suggestion that our members are willing to get back the name "Dover," I will resubmit the case to Linden Lab.

Old landmarks in your inventory and picks in your profile perfectly work, according to Linden Lab. I checked them by myself.

2022-01-04: Allowing permissions

I figured out how I make the private rooms in the sky less risky. Therefore, I permit the following capability.

1. In the Sandbox, everybody can fly.

2. Instead, nobody can see who are in the main parcel (the parcel where the castle exists).

3. The group members can fly in the main parcel, but non-group members can neither fly nor run scripts.

4. Any group members can invite any others, but the main group is now invited-only.

In addition,

5. Merchants can give merchant roles to the other members.

The next step might be that I fixed the private rooms in the sky. The other part I have to tacked into is to remake the original castle with high-quality textures.

2021-12-28: I got an notification.

Some told me the member in the staff group have abused their powers, then destroyed the Dark Haven community. I know it's a nature of trolls and griefers; it has occurred every time while I had been absent, and I believe it is because they have nothing valuable to do in RL. They want to compensate such lacking of valuable life by showing "powers," while they feel powerless in RL. If they have something valuable in RL, they would not cause such troubles. So I cannot do anything to save them. I can only say "I understand." No matter what, no matter how many times, I will keep restarting from zero; like I produce new ideas and theories in Science from almost zero-level. 

2021-12-23: Some restorations and announcements.

1. Ground-level remodeling has almost finished although it has not been completed yet.

2. I will work on the ground after I remake other layers in the sky.

3. Planning to make a manual how to join the Slack.

2021-12-14: tau Insippo (the sim owner) is back

1. Since Flenser Juergens (Co-owner of tau Insippo) has real-life troubles, tau Insippo takes over the place after the years of absence. He still has real-life troubles and health problems, but his situation is far better than Flenser's right now.

2. Group roles and parcel permissions are now under revising process to make the place securer.

3. Stopped group chat among members. Instead, we started Slack to communicate. This is because to avoid unnecessary conflicts (Such as soliciting).

4. Because Google stopped servicing its short-URLs, we replaced them with full  URL in the land profiles.

5. Preparing for residential areas with full-parcel-permissions.

2019-09-13: Fixed the broken short-URL on the land profile.

And fixed the season on the ground, at least. The owner is trying to coming back.

2019-08-29: The owner's blog-post on his RL situation.

Details are on his blog.

2019-07-27: The owner's RL situation and the direction of Dark Haven.

2019-02-06: To accelerate re-activation of Dark Haven.

The owner announced in the staff group that he started choosing managers based on his decisions. The regular manager election will be prepared after that. If you are ex-staffs of Dark Haven, you can leave offline messages to him to be a candidate. He will response though his e-mail to you in-world.

2019-01-07: For independent parcels for rent.

1. The owner moved the tavern to prepare 3 parcels for rent.

2. The owner started remaking floating layers with mesh prims for designated sky-dungeons to relocate the current ones.

2019-01-05: About the next manager election.

1. In the next election, the owner is willing to allow the ex-staffs to join if they are willing to vote or to be candidates, not only current staffs.

2. The owner will prepare formal information and platform for the election. Until he finishes, he will reply via his e-mails when you leave him an offline messages.

3. The preparation time will be taken to be sufficiently long so that the above people can prepare. Plus, if the people are willing to see how the situation in the staff group, they can stay as a "off-duty staffs" whose right to stay in the group is protected by the staff rules.

4. The owner wrote some comments on the election above, with his current RL condition in his blog. (Posting comments is now enabled.)

2019-01-04: The owner is coming back to landscape the sim again.

1. He heard some troubles with the wage payers for the staffs, so updated them. He is willing to investigate further troubles for both staffs and citizens.

2. Sky dungeon had a trouble that it was interfered with the sky layers newly built, but now temporally fixed.

3. He is going to work with the troubles with the sky private rooms next.

3. A security orb is set so that people cannot enter the private area in the sky, over the height of 

2018-04-17: Starting sim remodeling again + New job (Builder). 

1. The owner is really sorry for the slow development. He had to have a business trip to overseas to make an invited talk at a scientific conference, as well as write articles to submit to journals. Now he is back and recovered from exhaustion, so he starts his job again.

2. We need builders who can contribute sim-wide remodeling. The job application and their rules are not fixed yet, but please ask Hakuhn Elcano for the job interview if you are interested in. 

2018-03-27: Some builders stated making new landscapes on sky layers. 

They are temporally hired without job apps and rules. These will be described on our official web pages. Please don't bother them. If you have any suggestions, ask our managers or owners first. If you are interested in joining to building, please contact Hakuhn Elcano.

2018-03-18: Accidents

1. When I was making a staff-only web page, the public page was over-written and deleted .... Now remaking.

2. During moving the location of the sandbox, the owner deleted the sandbox completely by an accident, so our traffic in the sandbox is very low. Sorry for confusion. (The owner is over-working in real life.)
