18th Anniversary Gallery Tour Winners

Saturday, June 6th, 2026

We’re so pleased to announce the winners and honorable mentions of our 2026 Gallery Tour Contest. There were many wonderful entries this year, and it was difficult to make final decisions. Thanks to everyone who participated! Within the next few days, textures will delivered automatically to your Rare Library, as well as the prizes for the winners.

Also, we’re trying something new this year: we’ve handed out mesh Trophies to the winners and Honorable Mentions. If you’re wearing a Legends HUD and you touch one of these trophies, you’ll get a ‘Gallery Gold’ coin (max one a day) which can be spent in the Prize Machine toward a commemorative 18th Anniversary Chest Texture.

Note: The Gallery owners are not obligated to put their trophies out, and the coin-giving function will eventually pause until the next Gallery Tour.

Thanks everyone for making this event a success! And be sure to visit all the Haunt locations you can while they’re up, to check out all the great decor.

Grid-Wide Event: 18th Anniversary Gallery Tour!

Sunday, May 17th, 2026

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’re excited to announce an official grid-wide Bloodlines Event – The Bloodlines 18th Anniversary Party and Gallery Tour!

  • The Anniversary party will be held May 23rd. There’ll be live DJs, raffles, Best Attire giveaways, and more!
  • The Anniversary Haunt Tour starts now and runs through Saturday June 5th. We’ll announce the winners at the Thor party on June 6th.

Starting today, we’ll be connecting participating Haunts via the website and the HUDs, so you can easily travel from event to event, while discovering new Bloodlines-friendly locations. Bloodlines judges will be visiting participating locations to help with the final choosing of the top Haunts.

For Haunt owners, this event means a chance to raise awareness of your clan land, club, bar, or RP area. The Anniversary Gallery Tour will provide an influx of new visitors, as well as give you a chance to network with other Bloodlines friendly locations. Players will be able to vote on their favorite Haunts up until Thursday June 5th, when voting will close so we have enough time to make final judgements before the party.

To vote on your favorite Haunts, all you need to do is press the ‘Vote’ link next to the 18-year anniversary icon on the profile of participating haunts. These tallied votes will be combined with voting by the judges to determine the winners.

*Although this is a Gallery Tour and we encourage you to display your rare textures, your space doesn’t have to be a bona fide gallery – it could be a dungeon or a room in your house, or any place you like to show off your collection. Also, to win you don’t necessarily need to have the largest collection of Rares – judging will include looking at the style and atmosphere of the place, organization, etc.

Prizes:

The prize winners will have a picture of their haunt immortalized on the prize container texture!

  • 1st Place Winner: 100L equivalent container of your choice + Gold Crown rare texture + Banner on Bloodlines Homepage for a week following the event.
  • 2nd Place Winner: (3) 20L equivalent containers of your choice + Silver Crown rare texture + Banner on Bloodlines Homepage for a week following the event.
  • 3rd Place Winner: (2) 20L equivalent containers of your choice + Bronze Crown rare texture + Banner on Bloodlines Homepage for a week following the event.
  • 7 Honorable Mentions: (1) 20L equivalent container of your choice + Honorable Mention rare texture
  • Gallery Tour Participation Rare: Given to anyone who opted-in their location to the event, awarded at the end of the month (limit one per avatar).

Getting involved is simple:

  • Location Owners – If you already have a Haunt, just log into your profile, Edit Haunts, and opt-in via the radio button for the 12th Anniversary Event. Make sure to use the Haunt Events calendar to schedule specific times for your events. We’re keeping the theme wide open – as long as your space is Bloodlines (or Legends) themed in some way, we’re excited to check it out!
  • Bloodlines players – The 18th Anniversary Event will automatically generate locations in your HUD, under the Haunt button. We’ll also make it clear on the website which locations are participating, so you should be able to easily find the next great location to visit!

Dates to Remember:

  • May 23rd – Anniversary Party 10am – 7pm at Bloodlines North
  • May 16th through June 6th – Building, displaying, and voting on Haunt locations.
  • June 6th – Pantheon Thor Party from 4pm – 7pm, Winners Announced, Prizes Given.

We look forward to seeing you at the party, and thanks to everyone for making Bloodlines a vibrant community for 18 years running!
