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.
Greetings Legends! We’re excited to announce a new quest, another in the Angel Havens RP area, with a little crossover to Mortal Crossroads.
Vincent Montague has lost touch with a close friend, but when he sends you to investigate you end up getting wrongfully accused of murder! Work to clear your name, solve the mystery and help the people of Angel Havens.
The quest rewards are listed on the flyer. This quest starts with Vincent Montague in Bloodlines Midland.
Greetings Legends! We’ve made a few small additions that should add fun going forward: Hidden Quests and Randomization.
Hidden Quests will be smaller tasks or adventures that may not show up in your Quest Journal, but will give repeatable rewards for those in-the-know. The first of these has been launched today. In the Telescopic Troubles quest where you craft the mesh Root Elixir bottle and create a Root Elixir resource to heal a tree, afterwards the tree reports to you that, “if you try the elixir on random trees in the world, sometimes it will work and they will reward you”.
The first tree has been activated on Angel Havens. You must use wand-waving to reveal it, and then use a crafted Root Elixir to heal it, and it will reward you. This hidden quest is repeatable occasionally, and we will likely add a few more trees around once we’re sure this new mechanic is working smoothly.
Which brings us to the second small update: we’ve added randomization of loot to the reward that the tree offers, so that it varies how large or small the rewards is based on a random spin. Thus far in Legends the rewards have been predictable, and we’ll still have many quests where the reward is consistent. However for various things – damage, loot, some conversations – we’re hoping some randomization will make the adventures even more interesting and realistic.
So feel free to wander the forests of Angel Havens waving your wand, with a Root Elixir at the ready – and keep an eye out for more Hidden Quests and randomization mechanics in the future!
A few days ago we made a couple of adjustments to the way attacks on fresh victims work. It became apparent that some players were logging in thousands of alts a day to game fresh victim achievements and farm free blood. This presented a risk that a) the achievements would become meaningless and b) metrics would be come worthless. As always we commend people on their creativity and motivation in getting these achievements, but we obviously have to take the measures we can in order to prevent cheating, gaming, and exploits.
The two changes we’ve made are as follows:
Hopefully for most of you these changes will not affect you at all. We do realize that by preventing the extremely bad actors from being able to game the system, this will affect some who did not intend to harm the community. All we can say is that in order to protect the integrity of Achievements and the value of metrics in the system, we have to shut off avenues where exploitation is possible.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this policy change, please file a ticket in our support system and we’ll respond: http://slbloodlines.com/support
