News and Updates

Announcing Achievement Wave 5, which will be arriving on January 1! This wave features over 50 beautiful new badges you can earn, level up, and show off on your Bloodlines profile! This achievement wave includes the following achievements:

Adherent / Sacrificer: Altar sacrifices for blood, lumens, humanity, cider, ether, and ichor

Indemnifier / Guarantor: Mandrake potion usage for all races

Soul Conservator: Collect and fill soul trophies (existing collections will count)

Connoisseur / Epicure: Drinking Vital Blood, Moonshine, Ether, and Ichor bottles, and Cider Cans

Relentless: A new achievement where you can check in with Determined wells each hour, with no reset for missing one

Curator: Collect rare container textures (existing collections will count)

Ravenous: Unique all-time attacks of all 5 types: bite, claw, sap, exalt, and corrupt

Aficionado / Trafficker: Filling metric containers at refill stations

Soul Trader / Trafficker: Unique soul trades

As usual, all of these achievements start counting at release (midnight New Year’s Eve), unless otherwise specified above.

All of these achievements will also count in the monthly Soul War except for the following: Conservator (Soul Trophy collecting), Curator (Texture Collecting), Ravenous (All-time unique attacks), and Relentless. Soul Trader will count in the Soul War, but will not count towards Soul War Medals.

Regarding Soul Rarity, Ravenous and Soul Trader / Trafficker will be added to the category of achievements where a max of 4 points is possible, along with the Frenzy and Berserk achievements.

Also, an update to Legends War

We know that it has been difficult lately to discover new regions in Second Life, because most regions have already been discovered. Being unable to get this achievement makes it difficult to get the Completist texture at the end of the month. So, we are removing the Discoverer Achievement from Legends War effective January 1.

The new Zodiac Scorpio 3 textures are available for $Lindens at the main store locations. These textures are currently in both L$ machines and in the Legends Prize Machine for Legends coins.

Well howdy partner! Feeling parched after a long trip through the dusty week? Come join us for a drink of something slightly strong than sarsaparilla in the land of the tumbling tumbleweeds to enjoy music, costume prizes and Rare giveaways!

When: Friday, August 6th 1-4pm

Suggested Attire: Western, cowboy/girl, horses, etc.

Where: Liquid West

UPDATE: There will be no scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, 3/30. Maintenance has been rescheduled for Friday, April 2, 1:00-1:30 AM SL time.

The Bloodlines system will be down for approximately 30 minutes on Tuesday, March 30 from approximately 1-1:30 AM SL Time (Pacific). We hope that the maintenance that needs to be completed will go much faster than this. We will have the Bloodlines system up again as quickly as possible. Please refrain from making purchases from vendors, and interacting with all Bloodlines items during this brief maintenance window. We will be announcing in the official in-world groups when the maintenance begins and ends. Thanks for your understanding.

UPDATE 1/11/21: We’ve added a “Completist” award which will go to any player that completes all the Achievements once during the course of the month! As with the other award textures, the container style will be based on what your dominant race is at the stroke of midnight at the end of the month.

UPDATE 1/4/21: Since the Quest Achievements are likely to have a large number of players tied for the #1 spot, we’ve decided for that category anyone who is in the #1 spot at midnight at the end of the month will receive an award container texture. This is only for the Quest Achievements, all other achievements will behave similarly to Soul War (1 winner only, ties broken by whomever scored the last point before midnight). Also, we believe we’ve remedied most of the display issues but if you still believe something is not displaying correctly, please file a ticket so we can look into it!

UPDATE 1/1/21: The Legends War is active and working, but we are experiencing a few issues with certain achievements not displaying progress correctly on the new individual and family progress pages. No data is being lost (and you can check this by seeing your achievement progress normally on your original Achievements profile page) but we hope to have the display issues in the new sections corrected soon.

UPDATE 12/30/20: The Legends War achievement counting will start at 12pm SL time on 1/1/21. Also, for now, The Legends War will only include monthly achievement tracking, not daily, as this post previously stated.

Starting on January 1, 2021, we will have a new feature added to Legends, the Bloodlines questing and crafting game. Right now, there are dozens of achievements that can be earned for completing quests, hunting, gathering, discovering lands, and crafting. But starting on January 1, we will also begin tracking these achievements on a monthly basis, in a similar way to The Soul War.

We’ll have various rankings, and you can compete to be among the top individual achievers, as well as the top family, or the MVP for your family. Just like in Soul War, at the end of each month, the top achiever in each individual achievement will get a rare container texture for that achievement, and the top 10 achievers, leaders of the top 10 families, and the MVP in the top 10 families will also get special rare container textures!

You can view the list of available achievements now by clicking on the ‘Achievements’ icon in the Legends section of your profile.

**Note, as with the recent addition of the Medals Awards (and as with any new award or achievement we release) we do not retroactively award these based on previous game activity. The main reason for this policy is that often we have not even been storing or tracking the data necessary to backdate awards prior to the new release, and it wouldn’t be fair to only give some retroactive awards and not others. So, we always start fresh from the official release date of the achievement or award to keep the playing field level.

Greetings Legends! We’re excited to announce a new quest.

Heg Yates, the vegetable seller in Midlands is really hankering to bring some old world traditions to his home here. Help him come up with some ideas for how to make the season happy for all.

The quest rewards are listed on the flyer.

This quest starts with Heg Yates’s Pumpkin at Bloodlines Midlands.

Quest runs from 10/1 to 11/1 annually

Linden Labs recently released a new feature that allows you to change your legacy name. Bloodlines detects your legacy name by reading the name reported by the Second Life region that you’re on when requests are sent to our server by your HUD. Because of a SL server bug that has existed for some time, if your legacy name changes, your old name will continue to be cached and reported by some regions for an unknown amount of time. For avatars that have had their names changed by Linden Labs for various reasons before this feature was available (such as people who created objectionable names), we have seen some regions continue to report the old names for over a month.

Bloodlines was updated to account for changing legacy names over a year ago, but because of the bug mentioned above, if you changed your name, some sims might report your new name, and some might report your old name. Your account was still being identified correctly by your UUID, but your name might have been getting changed back and forth between your old and new name depending on how it was being reported to us by the region.

We’ve just made an update to all of our HUDs that attempts to implement a workaround for this problem. If you have changed your legacy name, and you don’t see your new name reflected on the Bloodlines website, please get a redelivery of your HUDs from the update terminal and wear them, and it should update your name correctly, but may not work for some people. If it doesn’t work for you, please file a support ticket, and we will get your name corrected.

Hey y’all, are you sick of family obligations yet? If you’re anything like us, you really need to cut loose. After all, it’s Fall Y’all! We need to get down and party and share some fun times with our friends. So come join us for a night of music, prizes, and rare texture giveaways!

When: Friday November 29th, 4pm-7pm SL

Suggested Attire: Fall Attire, sweaters, cozy jammies, anything that says Fall!
