!! PAGE EXPANDING SOON!!

This should include the following, downloading and creating an SL account, links to the rules and lore overview and a guide to creating a avatar that's ready for use in the sim.

New to Second Life

If you're brand new to second life, check out the page on Getting Started with Second Life.

We suggest getting used to the controls and interface before visiting the sim as they can often be confusing to newer players.

Visiting the sim

If you've played second life before, have an account and would like to get started in the sim or if you've read the above and are comfortable enough to dive in, you're first stop is visiting the sim.

Once you've teleported to the above link, you should be in our landing area, a safe OOC hub where you can get acclimated to the sim. In front of you will be a set of terminals past the lounge chairs. Ensure you check the Sim Rules before progressing. There is also a link to our community discord, the best place to go if you have questions or need help.

Starter Terminals

Getting the HUD and registration

To get the HUD for playing in the sim, first click on the sim group terminal, which will give you a link to the main group for the sim, which is required to register. Join the sim group and activate it from your groups. Next you can click the Registration terminal.

You should see the above menu, from here click Register and the system will register you. Click the hud box next to the registration terminal, then accept the folder it will give you. Check your inventory and you should have a new folder named -New Frontiers- with two items inside, right click and Add both of these. Now you're ready to begin creating a character!

Creating a character

Before moving onto the character creation terminal you should get a good idea of what character you intend to create. Which of the Races available within the sim will they be? Make sure you pick one that is in line with their races appearance guidelines which can be found on each races page along with the general Appearance Guide for all races and avatars.

Once you've decided on a race, you should think about their background, pick out where they came from, what they've done and why they're here. A good place to start for a general idea of the sims lore is the Lore Overview page along with the race you intend to play's page.

Once you've done so, you can click on the terminal again and select Create.


Once you're ready, this door will take you down to the IC part of the sim
