Back From The Med

The Kingdoms of Giliath

I’m back from the Med and a fortnight seems an awfully long time to be away when you try and catch up with news and developments in the virtual world and beyond. A fortnight also provides insight into one of the reasons why Second Life can be an annoying name, there are tons of news stories about Second Life, but they are largely about the Second Life of a product or a show, such as The Mindy Project.

However, fortunately for me, Xiola Linden and the Linden Lab community team do a good job of updating the Second Life Blog with Destination Guide information, hence why I will at some point in the near future be heading on out to visit The Kingdoms of Giliath, an ambitious looking immersive roleplay kingdom in Second Life.

Off To The Med

Hitching a Lift On A Dragon

I’m currently packing my bags as I head off on another trip. I’ve just checked my transport options over at Dwarfin HQ and everything looks fine for my flight. Therefore this blog will be taking a break for a couple of weeks.

However the virtual world experience rolls on and there’s plenty to look forward to.

A Visit To Basilique

Sea Front

Basilique in Second Life is a quite stunning town, boasting bars, shops, a theatre and much more. This is also the home of Paradise Lost in Second Life.

The region has been brought to life by Harvey Crabsticks and Canary Beck.

Clock

One of the things I liked about my visit was the notecard, because that largely writes my blog post for me, for example, we are informed :

Named after the Basilica that dominates the region, Basilique is a small village on a lake nestled between the mountains of Northern Italy. Our most current information can be found at the website: http://thebasilique.wordpress.com

Event information can be found here:
https://thebasilique.wordpress.com/events/

History and Geography can be found here: https://thebasilique.wordpress.com/geography-history/

There are a number of places to visit here. However, first of all you may just want to take a stroll around.

Xiola Linden Invites People To Suggest A Location For The Next Inworld Meetup

Xiola Linden

Xiola Linden, Superstar, has posted on the official Second Life blog : Help Decide the Next Inworld Meetup Destination. These are meetups between The Lindens and residents and they are a lot of fun. Xiola states in the post :

It’s just about inworld meetup time, and since we’re in the habit of sharing some of our favorite spots from the Destination Guide, this weekend, we wanted to flip the script and find out from you what spot you think is one of the best to visit for our next inworld meetup.

I’ve been to a couple of meetups with The Lindens and they have both been at Meauxle Bureaux, home of the Second Life Moles.

Michael Linden Is Here!

However it seems as if The Lindens want to set sail to some new destinations, as Xiola explains in the blog post :

Share your recommendations in this forum thread – links to Destination Guide entry or SLURLS are best – and we’ll pick one to have our next inworld meetup.

The next meetup is planned for Thursday, May 14th at 1 PM SLT, so get your recommendations in soon!

As always, if you have a region or location that you would like to show off – be sure to share it, and we always love to see pics of your adventures on the Official Second Life Flickr page.

Whereas Xiola does not mention it in her post, I would imagine they are looking for a general rated location in order to be all inclusive. Although that’s just my thoughts, I could be wrong, it has happened before, April 12th 1984 to be precise.

A Visit To Cerridwen’s Cauldron

Cerridwen's Cauldron

Cerridwen’s Cauldron is rather an odd sim in many ways. There are attractions here, such as :

  • Tower Of Dawn
  • Botanical Garden Display
  • Aquarium
  • Lost Halls

The latter gives a clue as to what makes this sim rather odd. The Lost Halls contain vendors, selling the wares in this wonderful region. The way the store blends so well with the setting is what makes this region a tad odd, for all the right reasons I should add, you don’t feel like you’re in a store, but you do appreciate the work of the creator and can find that work easily if you want to take some of it home with you.

Balloon

The land description describes the region as :

Fantasy plants, trees and flowers, avatars and buildings. Main Shop, Gallery and Landscaped Sim. Relaxing, exotic and beautifull. Non-disruptive RP, daters and photographers welcome. Home of the grid famous fantasy plants.

This is very true as this region of wonderfully exotic plant life in a fantastical setting is indeed ideal as a store, a roleplay area, ideal for daters and almost perfect for photographers.
