Second Life’s twelfth night, or birthday if you prefer, is fast approaching. The SL12B community Celebration, will run between June 21st-28th. Linden Lab are playing their part in the celebrations and will be releasing a commemorative avatar to celebrate the anniversary.

This is a long standing tradition and in recent years we were gifted a bear avatar for SL10B and a robot avatar for SL11B.

Premium Members of Second Life will get the chance to get early access to this year’s birthday avatar, according to a blog post from Xiola Linden : Premium Members:Get Early Access to the SL12B Commemorative Avatar at a Tiki-tastic Party!

Splish Splash – it’s a Tiki Beach Bash!

Premium members – this one is just for you, so be sure to save the date! We’ve lit the tiki torches and brushed up on our fruity drink-mixing skills to host a casual gathering with the added bonus of early access to our Official Second Life 12th Birthday commemorative avatar.

That’s right – come to the SL12B Premium Meetup on Thursday June 11th from 10:30 to 11:30 AM SLT, hang out with us, and be one of the first to glimpse and grab the celebratory 12th anniversary avatar. The nature of this particular avatar required us to select a remote island for our gathering as well as implement a strict quarantine on the subject, so you’re going to have to drop by our tropical jungle destination to find out what it is.

Ah but what about those Premium Members who want the avatar but can’t make the meetup? Do not worry, you can still get the avatar early.

Xiola Linden explains in the blog post :

While we hope you can make it to the meetup, we understand that schedules, timezones, and such make it impossible for everyone to make every meetup. With this in mind, the avatar kiosk will be available until midnight SLT on June 12th for you to stop by and pick up your prerelease avatar. That means, even if you can’t come to the Tiki party, you can still get early access to the avatar.

If you’re not a Premium Member, you will still be able to get the avatar, you just won’t be able to attend the meetup or get the avatar early, but don’t worry about that too much, there will still be plenty of fun to be had.
