We’ve just added a couple of new features to the website that Family leaders will have access to: Family Roles and Leader Switching. Previously, if you wanted to change your family leader, you had to change your family name, unliege the new leader, re-liege the old leader, and then change the name back, and then you would lose changes to your Family profile on the website, and your allies and enemies would also be lost, because they are linked to the Family leader. Now, changing your Family leader is as easy as typing the new person’s name into the change leader form on the website. Family leaders will find that they have a new option on their family profile editor, under the dropdown menu labeled ‘Family Profile’ in the profile editor called “Change Family Leader”. The new leader must be a directly lieged minion of the current leader. If you use this function to change your Family leader, everything for your Family will remain the same on the website, including your profile, allies and enemies, and some new features we’re releasing, including: Family Roles!
Starting today, you can create and manage a set of up to 20 roles for your Family. Family Roles can currently only be set up and assigned by the Family leader. Family leaders will have a new dropdown on their profile editor labeled “Family Roles”. For full instructions on how Family Roles work, please see the guide. In general, it’s up to you to decide what Roles mean to your Family. You can use them as a ranking system, as an award system, or as a custom achievement system, or just use them for fun. For each role you create, you can choose to define a badge icon for that role, either using one of our default badge icons, or you can design and upload your own. We hope you have fun with this new system!

Today we’re issuing updates to the Haunts and Bar Pack affiliate vendors, including the Vital Blood Bar, the Moonshine Bar, the Cider Bar, and the Mega Bar Pack. If you own any of these bar packs, you will be automatically delivered updates to all of them. If you own the Vital Blood Bar, the Moonshine Bar, or the Cider Bar, these can also be updated at any Liquid Designs update terminal. The Haunt and the Mega Bar Pack can’t be updated at terminals because they contain the no-copy Haunt. If you own at least one Haunt or at least one Mega Bar Pack, you’ll be delivered an auto-updater for your Haunts. This auto-updater will update your Haunts in place. Just rez one copy of the auto-updater on any region where you have Haunts placed, touch it for the menu, and select ‘Update’, then wait for it to finish updating and reconnecting all of your Haunts. If you have a large number of Haunts on a single sim, you may need to run the update process more than once, as it can only update a limited number of Haunts at a time.
This update will make your Haunts more stable and reliable, and use fewer resources on your region. The Bar Pack affiliate vendors have also been updated with stability updates, and can now be used with Liquid Designs gift cards. If you own Haunts or Bar Pack affiliate vendors, please update them as soon as possible. If you don’t receive updates, and you believe you should have, please contact Lyle Maeterlinck. Happy Haunting, and Cheers!

Recently, we have gotten some reports of Second Life accounts getting taken over and their Lindens and /or Bloodlines assets transferred to other accounts. Many refer to this as their account getting “hacked”, but it is more likely that they are getting phished, brute-forced, or their passwords simply guessed. Accounts are not getting compromised “through” Bloodlines or because of Bloodlines. There is absolutely no way that someone could gain access to your Second Life account through your Bloodlines account. The Bloodlines system does not interact with your Second Life authentication in any way.
Regardless, there are a few easy, simple things you can do to make sure this never happens to you. Keep in mind that we are not talking about your slbloodlines.com account here, or your account on this blog, we are talking about the authentication you use to log into the Second Life viewer.
On top of that, if someone comes to you saying they are “quitting Second Life” and want to sell you all of their souls and containers, it is likely to be a scam. If someone tells you this, and you buy all of their stuff, and then we find out later that the account had been taken over by someone else, we are going to return everything that you bought from them. If someone is offering a large dump of resources like this, it is a good idea to contact their liege and confirm it with them, or someone else in their clan who knows them. Something else you can do is give them a waiting period, tell them you will buy it in 3 days if everything is still for sale, and report it to Lyle Maeterlinck, and we can check on it. If the person is truly quitting Bloodlines or Second Life, then they shouldn’t mind if we lock their Bloodlines account for 3 days to make sure that the real account owner doesn’t come back. If you’re really quitting Bloodlines or Second Life and want to sell all of your stuff, contact Lyle Maeterlinck first, and I can lock your account for a waiting period to make sure the real account owner doesn’t come back.
If someone asks you to transfer money outside of second life through Paypal or a bank transfer or any other way, it is almost definitely a scam. Don’t do this.
Given all of this, we can never guarantee or be held responsible for third-party transactions. If you are buying containers directly from us, we absolutely guarantee them, but if you are buying souls or containers from anyone else, there is a risk involved. Be careful, take things slowly, and use good judgment. Feel free to contact me directly in Second Life (Lyle Maeterlinck), or comment on this post if you have questions.
