A Shout-out to Your Role-play Community

Role-play is big in Second Life. Not only there are different genres of role-play but hundreds of regions across this platform. If you want to stand out, offer easy access to residents and attract more visitors, consider listing your region in Second Life’s Destination Guide – it’s easy and free. The website is often visited by senior residents and potential new members that might join right away when they glance over your sim in Destination Guide's directory. Scroll down on the Destination Guide website and find the "Suggest a Destination" button on the left.

To submit your region, you must personally own the parcel or sim; belong to the group that owns the parcel; you are in the access list of the Private Region that contains the parcel; you must set it as a “Hangout” under About Land > Options if the parcel belong to Gorvernor Linden or belongs to a friend; and the parcel must be 512m2 or larger. The featured picture must be web-hosted with a high quality, JPG format with the dimensions of 657 width by 394 height. The descriptive text cannot exceed the 400 typed characters and it must describe what your role-play community stands for and what it has to offer. Avoid the use of first-person language (I, we, our and my) and focus in giving a clear understanding on what your role-play community is about.

Linden Lab regularly updates the Destination Guide listings, and they can be found on the web at http://secondlife.com/destinations or in your Second Life viewer under Destinations. For more information on submitting your parcel, visit https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/about-the-second-life-destination-guide-r22/ .

Other advertisement outlets are also available inworld and on the web. Many Second Life bloggers seek unique sims to use as background for their photos and some are willing to write articles about these locations (The Good Gorean is one of them). Invite your favorite blogger to come visit your masterpiece and give her/him access to your parcel. Sim owners should request for the guest blogger to wear an out-of-character tag and avoid interaction to on-going role-play or combat. For a role-play review, bloggers should engage role-play for a realistic review – you shouldn’t make the statement that role-play is great at the sim X, if you never role-played with the community that you are writing about.

Make sure you have the Search settings checked under your Land Options:
