News and Updates

We’re excited to announce the next official grid-wide Bloodlines Event – The Haunted Tour 2021! It will start today, October 8th and run to October 24th. We are changing the rules and prizes a little this time – because we are giving away a combined total of 15,000$L worth of Metrics to the top winners! So we want to see your best decorating! Please see the end of the post for guidelines if you want a chance to win.

The Haunted Tour is an event for people who wish to show off their haunted houses, dungeons, clubs and bars for the spooky holiday ahead.  Anyone owning a Bloodlines Haunt can opt-in and anyone with a HUD will be able to participate in the tour.

What specifically does this mean for Bloodlines players? It means during that time we’ll be connecting participating Haunts up via the website and the HUDs, so that you can easily travel from haunted location to haunted location, and meet up with people while discovering new Bloodlines-friendly places. (If you need to acquire a Haunt you can visit our stores here).

For Haunt owners, this event means a chance to get your location on the map! The Haunted 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, and prizes will be awarded at the end. Mars Bracken, Lyle Maeterlinck, Liquid Designs Resident and other officials will be visiting participating locations to help with the final judging of the top locations, and we hope to see you there!

Voting will start in a few days and run until October 24th. During that time, all you need to do to vote is press the ‘Vote’ link next to the Haunted Tour icon on the profile of participating haunts.

Prizes (Awarded at the end of the Tour):

1st Place Winner: 100L of the metric of your choice + Gold Crown rare texture + Banner on Bloodlines Homepage for a week following the event

2nd Place Winner: 60L of the metric of your choice + Gold Crown rare texture + Banner on Bloodlines Homepage for a week following the event

3rd Place Winner: 40L of the metric of your choice + Gold Crown rare texture + Banner on Bloodlines Homepage for a week following the event

5 Honorable Mentions: 20L of  the metric of your choice + Silver Crown rare texture

Haunted Tour Participation Rare: Given to anyone who opted-in their location to the event. (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 Haunted Tour Event. Make sure to use the Haunt Events calendar to schedule specific times for your events.

Bloodlines players – The Haunted Tour 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!

Rules and Guidelines:

All locations opted-in will receive the Participation Rare at the end of the contest. However, a few things to think about when trying for prizes are:

1. Store Haunts – If your store is decorated and the haunt is part of the decor it will be considered. Non-decorated stores will not be considered for top prizes.
2. Clan Land / Other Haunts – If your family location does not have any event-specific decor, it will not be considered for top prizes.

Judging is subjective and will focus on quality, sticking to the spooky / haunted theme, and also ease of access. If the area you’re looking to share with the Bloodlines community is difficult to find / hard to access from the Haunt landing, that will affect your ability to earn a top prize.

Happy decorating, and good luck!

Summer is officially here and with it comes fresh excitement and adventures! Grimley the Tree Spirit has set up a small temple for the season and is determined to make the forest flourish. He’s at the Lycan Woodlands and has a selection of Rare Ritual events for you:

• Candy Hunt – The benevolent Tree Spirit has spread delicious Violet Candies across the Lycan Woodlands. Better grab a few before the season ends! Touch all 25 of the hidden random objects to get a Violet Candy that will give you 5 stamina each.
• Mushroom Hunt – The Tree Spirit needs mushroom spores to repopulate the vibrant forests of the land. Find 25 Forest Mushrooms and turn them in for Tree Tokens which can be spent on rare loot.
• Flower Conjuring – The Tree Spirit has chosen specific plots to grow magical flowers to help beautify and magically protect the forest. Acquire magical seed packets from the Tree Spirit and then go use your wand to bring flowers magically to life for a reward of Tree Tokens you can spend on loot.
• Gacha & Prizes – Head to the Piper’s Plunder mobile pirate ship, located in the water down below the Lycan Woodlands Wizard Tower. The mesh items for this event will be mod / trans and no copy, ideally thereby more useful for trading or reselling later.

The event is set up right near the Wizard Training Tower at the Lycan Woodlands

The event will run until July 21st, so if you want any of that loot you’d best get hunting!

*For those non-Legends players who would still like to acquire rare textures, at the end of the month for 1 week we’ll be putting Tree Tokens on sale for Lindens. You’ll still have to wear a Legends HUD and put the coins in your ‘hand’ to take spins, but that’s it. The coins will even out to our normal gacha spin price of 75L / spin (vs. around 50L / spin if you play the quests and earn the coins) but at least there will be an option for you.

***UPDATE: We have decided to extend this event by one week, so it will be ending Wednesday July 21st at midnight.

This time of year we always seem to feel a little restless, and we’re blaming it on the moon. Join us for our event Wolf Moon and dance the day away! Great music and giveaways throughout the event!

When: Saturday June 5th, 2pm-5pm SL

Suggested Attire: Wolfy, werewolfish, medieval garb, pagan, witchy loonie-moony fun!
