Your journey begins here
A complete survival, farming, crafting and trading RPG inside Second Life. Bring your land in and run a colony of your own, or pick a profession and work your way across the regions.

Build
Drop a region server onto your parcel and it becomes part of a working economy — farms, stations, vendors and gatherables that other people have a reason to travel to. No scripting on your part.
Craft
Gather, smelt, brew, cook and forge. Skills rise through use, and the chain runs deep — starch to sugar, sugar to alcohol, alcohol to something worth aging and bottling.
Trade
Nothing is spawned by the system. Every item on every vendor was gathered and made by a player, and priced by what another player will pay for it.
Two ways in
Players need somewhere worth going. Builders need someone to turn up. SL Colonies is the same system from both sides.
For players
Gather, craft, cook, brew, hunt and trade. Professions level through use, and the good stuff is always on somebody else’s parcel — so you travel, and you meet people doing the same.
For world builders
Drop in a region server and your parcel becomes part of a working economy — with a reason for players to keep coming back, and no scripting on your part.
31 regions live
Owners set the theme, the rules and the rhythm. The same economy runs underneath a pirate harbour and an irradiated wasteland.

On the way
An identity that follows you — across the regions, the forum and Discord — and a reason for players to keep coming back to your land. Some of it is already here.
For colony leaders: see everything your colony owns, what its stations are making and who is working on what — with members, roles and permissions in one place.
The market rebuilt from the ground up — every offer readable, priced in its own currency, with who is selling and where to go and get it. Sales and purchases already in flight carry on untouched.
Recognition for what you genuinely did — the long grind to a profession cap, the rare find. Earned in-world, not bought.
A page that is yours: professions and levels, achievements earned, and the regions you call home.
Link once and your achievements surface in Discord, so what happens in-world is visible when you are logged off.
For land owners: fill in a form and get a proper page for your region here, linked from the live directory.
Progress is written up as it happens — see the Herald for release notes and the monthly Chronicles.

I’ve been promising the rebuilt site would know who you are. This is what that turned out to look like. Everything on the card is read live out of the game. Health, energy and blood. Hunger, thirst and fatigue. Your six…
