It has come to our attention that some locations in Second Life have taken the extraordinary action of taking moderation actions against anyone simply wearing items that are part of the Bloodlines game. Here are some tips on how to play Bloodlines anywhere without being detected by these.
One of the ways these detectors work is to get the list of objects attached to your body. The two attachments required to send attack requests are the HUD and the Nexus object. By default, the HUD attaches to a HUD attachment point, and the Nexus attaches to your avatar’s body. A detector can get data on attachments to your avatar’s body attachment points, but not HUD attachment points. You can avoid these detectors by attaching your Nexus to a HUD attachment point. For convenience and organization, you can even attach it to the same attachment point that your Bloodlines HUD is attached to. It will work exactly the same way. The only downside to this is that particle effects (such as for curse, embrace, etc) will no longer work. You should not see the Nexus on your screen if you do this, it should be invisible. If the Nexus object is visible on your screen, just touch it and then select ‘Hidden’ from the menu and it will disappear. If you want to see it again, go to Settings on your HUD, then Nexus > Visible.
One other thing that can be detected by these systems is animations that your avatar is playing, and default Bloodlines animations might be targeted by these kinds of detectors. To avoid this, you can turn animations off in your HUD by going to Settings > Animation > Anim On/Off.
You may get picked up by these detectors if you’re wearing other items, such as vials, amulets, fangs, claws, wings, horns, etc. If you do, we would just recommend temp detaching these until you leave the unfriendly environment.
Happy Hunting!

Because the last season was such a success we’ve decided to stick with the new format again this time around. As a reminder:
DOUBLE TEXTURE REWARDS – We’ve added many more prize options along the path, as well as double the collectible texture rewards. There are also bonus Soul Reaper textures on intermediate steps, and a crown texture for season completion.
SEASON LENGTH OF SIX WEEKS – The season runs to Halloween, which is only six weeks rather than two months.
15% EASIER COMPLETION – The points total for completion is 35,000 instead of 50,000. That means you’ll get all the rewards, with 15% less time and activities to achieve them.
As usual with Seasons, 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 free in vendors at our RP regions.

As of last month we started into our new Zodiac series, the 4th we’ve done. For ease of keeping track of the releases, we’re attempting to do the new set on the 1st of every month (rather than on the exact dates of the Zodiac calendar) so please keep that in mind. They are in the Piper’s Plunder Prize machines for Legends players as well as for L$ at their respective regions below!

This time around, there are three big things to take note of:
DOUBLE TEXTURE REWARDS – We’ve added many more prize options along the path, as well as double the collectible texture rewards. There are also bonus Soul Reaper textures on intermediate steps, and a crown texture for season completion.
SEASON LENGTH OF SIX WEEKS – This season is short, running only six weeks rather than two months. There are a few reasons for this, not least of which is so we can have a full six weeks of spooky season running up to Halloween.
15% EASIER COMPLETION – The points total for completion is 35,000 instead of 50,000! We may never go this low again, but due to the short season and a few other factors, we wanted to give it a try. That means you’ll get all the rewards, with 15% less time and activities to achieve them.
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.
