In 2002, an online community was established consisting of people from all walks of life. Together they collaborated on creative projects and traversed many game environments. The community was named Utopia Skye to symbolize the happiness & limitless abilities of its members. Today, Utopia Skye maintains a presence in several online games, as well as a vibrant community forum. It has a long history of working to publish books with unique member contributions, maintaining an Internet radio station, and being a hub where friends can gather & interact regardless of distance.
Utopia Skye Grid - How to Connect
How To Connect
We welcome you to join us in our world. Utopia Skye Grid was created to provide a place for the community to gather virtually and to share our Golden Touch shows. If you have created an account it's accessible from the viewer login screen once you add our grid to your grid list. If you are on a hypergrid connected grid account you can optionally visit via a hypergrid "hop".
To join us in world you will need to do the following:
- If you have not done so during registration, you will find a menu item in your user menu where you can create your Utopia Skye Grid account.
- In the grid manager of your viewer, enter http://utopiaskyegrid.com:8002/ and click on "Apply". Once the connection is saved, you can login with the details of your above created Utopia Skye Grid account.
Hypergrid Access
You can access the grid via a Hypergrid jump via the map view on a compatible viewer. In the Location entry in the map view enter "utopiaskyegrid.com:8002:Utopia Skye Welcome" (minus the quotes) and press enter. This should "Zoom" in on the region and you can teleport to it. The Utopia Skye Welcome region is the default region for the grid so entering "utopiaskyegrid.com:8002" will also get you to the Welcome region. Additionally, if you know another destination you can replace the "Utopia Skye Welcome" Region name with that. For instance "utopiaskyegrid.com:8002:Fetish Fire" should get you to the Fetish Fire region.
Discord Phishing Issue - 06/25/19
Much like any online program, people will always seek to abuse it. Discord is no stranger to this. Coming to light today is an apparent phishing scam involving discord. I cannot confirm it directly on discords official website, but it is something that I think warrants everyone's attention. Vigilance with your data is always the best response and not clicking suspicious links is as well.
A message coming from a friend or someone in a group chat you were in that would have a link posing as an official discord link will lead you to a website where you log into what appears to be discord. As I'm reading, once you do login on that website you've given your account information away and your account will be taken over.
There are a few simple steps you can do to ensure this doesn't happen:
1. Don't click any links you find suspicious even from people you know. PAY ATTENTION to the link. In this case, the link URL will have "https://discordgg.ga" etc, etc. Discord official links are discord.gg. NOT discordgg.ga. If you're at all uncertain best advice, just don't click it. (See screenshot)
2. Enable two-factor authentication (2Fa) on your discord account. It's simple and easy to do. Click the Gear icon on the lower panel in discord and go to your account.
a. click on enable 2fa and follow the instructions. For android phones and tablets, you may need to install google authenticator, a free program that will generate a code when you want to log in. Once you type your email address to log in, you'd open the google authenticator app on your phone or tablet and type in the provided code (it changes after a time interval).
b. Set up SMS backup authentication as a second safety step. Normal SMS charges from your carrier would apply if applicable.
If someone you know has clicked the link and has become victim to this you can do the following:
--Remove their old acct from all group chats (see who's group owner, they can remove)
--Unfriend & tell others to unfriend
--Save anything you need from your DMs
--On their new acct, HELP them reach out to friends
There is a twitter thread that at the moment has some ideas for various scenarios and actions you can take should you suffer this. However, be aware they are calling this a virus and it is not. It is a phishing attempt and you CAN avoid becoming victim to it. So first and foremost keep calm and don't panic, proactively activate 2fa, and create an SMS backup because these methods will help you avoid any issues like these now as well as in the future.
