Blood Containers Series 5
June 17th, 2014 by Lyle MaeterlinckPresenting Blood Containers Series 5, our best containers ever. These containers have been re-built from the ground up, both inside and out. They are jam-packed with features, and almost everything about them is customizable. Every container comes with 9 free changeable textures, and premium texture expansion packs are on the way. You can also tag your container with a bit of text to help keep track of it, and the tag will add itself to the object name, and to the hover text, which you can also change the color of, or turn off completely. These containers come with the same level of security options as previous releases, where you can open your container to the whole grid, to a list of up to 25 friends, or to a group, or you can lock it down and keep all the blood for yourself.
Series 5 also comes with the ability to accept Linden payments for blood directly through the containers, at a price per liter that you set. Blood sales are also subject to security controls, so you can set different prices for different groups or lists of friends, and keep everyone else out. You can also use your containers to sell larger amounts of blood to others who own Blood siphons. They can pay your container to siphon directly into their own container. The hover text will keep you updated on the full security and sales status of your container.
What’s more: these containers are no longer purchased from the rez-style vendors on Liquid Estate. They have been integrated into the same licensing system that we use for other no-copy items such as the drinks and apples, so they are delivered directly from our inventory servers. This means that Tank and Cask affiliate vendors are coming soon. And one more thing: these containers will be able to be updated for life, and you’ll never have to buy a new version in order to get the new features.
Stay tuned, we will be releasing Series 5 Prisms and Cider Barrels very soon!

Will there be a way to trade in older containers?

I am very surprised and disappointed that older containers are not being updated to the new. The update of a BLOODLINES product has come to be expected considering the high initial price of many of these products. I have 2 100 litre tanks and they were a significant investment to buy. I also have 5 other tanks , and they will now lose resale value, because people will want to buy the new ones.

@ Pheaton & Nikki – it’s true, unfortunately we are unable to do a trade-in for the old containers. The reason is purely logistic: with the tens of thousands of containers out there now, it would take someone working full-time several years to trade them all in. And since we can’t do that, and we can’t fairly trade them in for one person and not another, we simply have to just not do a trade in at all. However the old ones will continue to work perfectly well, and we will continue to offer service and replacement on them if they ever have issues, so there is no need to replace them. And the new containers have scripts which will allow us to auto-update them, so we won’t have this issue ever again. Thanks for understanding.
