Based on feedback from the community, we have decided to reverse the update we made in 2020 that made it so metrics could not be obtained from fresh victims. Originally, the reasoning for this is because we noticed that some people were using the ability to gain metrics from fresh victims as an exploit to obtain unlimited free metrics. They were just creating thousands of throwaway alt accounts, and only using them for the first free metrics. They were able to do this because Second Life allows the creation of unlimited anonymous alt accounts. The update in 2020 made it so that metrics were only transferred to an attacker from fresh victims once they joined. So, the metrics were transferred at the same time that the soul was transferred.
As of today, we have reversed this update. Everyone should now be gaining metrics on the first attack of a fresh victim. There is no limit to the number of fresh victims you may obtain metrics from in a given day. We ask that everyone please cooperate with the spirit of this: it is to incentivize hunting of real Second Life accounts.
Please do not create fresh alt accounts to attack just to get free metrics!
We will be keeping an eye on this to make sure that it is not being exploited. If we observe any large-scale operations creating alt accounts in order to farm free metrics from them, any associated Bloodlines accounts with those operations will be banned. Thanks for your cooperation.
We are pleased to announce Season 4!
As with the last Season, you will earn points for doing challenges, the points increase a progress bar, and when you reach checkpoints you unlock rewards. Both Bloodlines and Legends activities are included in the challenges. The rewards are a wide mix including but not limited to: Bloodlines Products, Legends Products, Metrics, Resources, Rare Textures and Gift Cards.
The Seasons HUD is available for free in vendors at the landing areas in our regions and we’ll be doing a blast-out delivery to all current Bloodlines players. To be clear, you don’t have to have the HUD on to be earning progress, but you do need to wear it to unlock and claim your rewards.
For full reference information, check out the Seasons Guide. Some highlights are below:
SEASON PASS
There are plenty of checkpoints and rewards by default, but there are also bonus valuable items hidden behind ‘locked’ checkpoints. These can be unlocked by purchasing a Season Pass, which can be done either with L$ or with Season Pass Tokens which can be earned along the Season path of rewards.
REWARD OPTIONS
Certain rewards will have choices, for instance if one of the rewards is a Vial, when you collect it, you choose which kind of vial you want: Blood, Lumen, Human, Ether, or Ichor. Other rewards will have alternatives. For example, say a reward is the coffin, but you already own the coffin, you’ll be given the option to get some metrics instead.
METRIC CACHES & METRIC RESERVES
“Metric Reserves” can be given at various points, and these are metrics that you unlock immediately and can access at Refill Stations.
“Metric Caches” can be given at various points, and these are metrics that you store up and unlock if or when you finally complete the season progress bar.
CURRENT SEASON DURATION
The current season, Season Three, will run from midnight* on March 31st to midnight on May 31st, 2022.
Happy achieving!
*As with all of our releases, we do not award retroactive points or achievements. Progress on Seasons will begin tallying from the time of release onward.
**Please note, the Season Pass is not an in-world delivery, it will show as active on your Bloodlines profile page once you have purchased it.
The new Zodiac Aries 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. These container textures will be available for purchase through the end of April 19th!

We are going to be retiring support for old containers on 4/3/2022. The containers being retired were sold prior to our series 5 update in 2014. These containers can be replaced with the latest versions using the Container Trade-In Machine, even after the 4/3 retirement date. What this means is that these old containers will stop working on 4/3. If you have a container purchased prior to June 2014 that you have not traded in yet using the Container Trade-In machine, we recommend that you obtain a trade-in machine and update it. You can obtain the Trade-In Machine for free in any Bloodlines main store, from the vendor to the left of the main HUD vendor. For example, the machine can be obtained at Bloodlines Midland here.
This will affect the following container versions:
This should not affect any container purchased after June 2014. This does not affect Urns or Vessels. If you are in doubt about the version of your container, you can always try the Trade-In Machine on it, and it will check the container for you and let you know if it is eligible for trade-in. If your container does not have a ‘Select’ button on the menu, then the Trade-In Machine will not work. You will need to hand your containers to LiquidDesigns Resident *in a folder with your name on it*, and have your containers manually traded out.
More information on the Trade-In machines can be found here.

We’ve put out a new Season 3 Themed Satchel. If you take your wand to the dome at Bloodlines Midland (or any of the other four domes) you can summon one for yourself before they go away!
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.
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.
