We’re excited to announce the next official grid-wide Bloodlines Event – The Haunted Tour 2020! It will start on October 1st and run to October 31st.

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 month 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.

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, Lyle 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! On the final day (Saturday October 31st) we’ll be having an event on the Bloodlines sims, and we’ll give away the prizes.

Voting will start in a few days and run until October 30th. 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 Month):

Haunted Tour Participation Rare – Given to anyone who opted-in their location to the event. (Limit one per avatar)

10 Runner-Up Rares (Silver Crown) – Given to the best 10 Haunted Locations (or more if judges decide there are more worthy runners-up).

3 Top Rares (Gold Crown) – Given to the top 3 Haunted Locations. These will also receive a banner on the Bloodlines homepage for a week following the event.

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!

At the end of the month on October 31st, we’ll wrap it up with an official party / awards ceremony on the Bloodlines sims where we’ll deliver all the prizes, so be sure to stop by. See you there!

Legends Update: Gold and Silver Tools

Hello Legends! We’re happy to announce that two local blacksmiths, Baxter Trank and Bendis have released two new sets of tools, Silver and Gold. These tools not only have greater durability for more harvesting ability, but also have the ability to harvest a few new Ultrarare and Legendary resources from harvesting stations.

They can be purchased with Gold Coins and repaired with either Silver Ingots or Gold Ingots respectively. The tool vendors are scattered around on the Legends RP sims.

We also lowered the stamina costs for smelting ingots and repairing tools; they were 10 stamina each and now are 2 stamina each. They are still 10 stamina per strike.

Happy harvesting!

Legends: Moving Flags Off of Inaccessible Regions

August 12th, 2020 by Lyle Maeterlinck

It has come to our attention that some claimed regions in Legends have become inaccessible for one reason or another. In order to address this, we have added a feature where you can move Legends Claim Flags off of regions that are no longer accessible. If you have flags that can be moved, you will see a link at the top of your Legends Land page that will take you to a form that will let you move your flags to a different region. To get to this page, make sure you are logged into slbloodlines.com, navigate to your profile, and then click on the Claim Flag icon in the Legends section of your profile. You are not required to move flags off of inaccessible regions, you can leave them there if you wish. Current discoverers of inaccessible regions are not affected by this. Sovereigns of regions and region levels are updated when flags are moved.

Right now, the only situation in which we’re facilitating the moving of claim flags is if the region the flags are on can no longer be accessed. You can’t move flags that you placed on a region that is still accessible.

Regions that are marked as inaccessible can still be browsed to on the website, and you can still use your Legends HUD on them if you are somehow able to access them. They just will not show up in the region search that you access through the compass button on your HUD.

Regions can only be marked as inaccessible manually by us. We won’t know if a region is inaccessible unless someone reports it to us. If you discover a region in Legends that is missing, private, or otherwise can’t be accessed, please report it to us by creating a support ticket, and we will investigate it. Likewise, if you discover a region that is currently marked as inaccessible that has become accessible, please report that to us as well. Happy adventuring!

Bloodlines: Angel Domain

We’re excited to announce our first mesh decor set – Angel Domain! None of the these items have been available before. We’ve had many requests over the years to sell decor items from our stores or RP sims but this is our first time trying it out; if it goes well we’ll likely do sets for the other race-themed sims.

We are releasing these in a gacha machine for the next month, ending on midnight September 8th. We do reserve the right to sell these again later as possible no-trans items, but for the near-term the 75L individual and tradeable transfer-enabled versions will end when the machine goes away.

*NOTE: The “21 Altar” item is a Limited Rare – meaning it will never be sold in any form again by us, as part of a full set or otherwise. So if you want one of those, you’ll have to win it via gacha spins!

The items in the gacha machine are set to no copy / transfer for trading and reselling, but we have trade-in stations set up on the sims where you can trade items in for a copy / mod / no transfer version if you wish to only use the items for your own decorating needs.

The machines are rezzed on 4 sims so if one set is busy you can try another location:

Angel Havens Gacha Machines

Lycan Woodlands Gacha Machines

Vampire Islands Gacha Machines

Demon Badlands Gacha Machines
