Join the Trojan Army!

Role Play in SL takes on many forms, from cowboys to Medieval knights and vampires, people love fantasy and the virtual environment gives them the chance to play out their dreams and interact with like minded people!

One sim that has gone onto the showcase pages of SL is called The Trojan Empire. Using Troy as its theme, there is a giant arena where combat takes place with ancient weapons. You don’t have to be experienced in combat or role-play, the information obtained from the site says that you will be helped with both combat and role-play to make things easy to get started. You will need to wear the proper clothes for the period, but that is part of the fun.

I met a lady called Mor Lannock who kindly showed me around the sim, she told me that they are presently recruiting for the Trojan Army. Mor took me to the library, next to the huge Trojan Horse standing outside the arena, where the history of the Trojan Wars is stored. Mor is a Trojan Officer and looked resplendent in her armoured outfit. They go into battle with other sims and it all looks very exciting.

If you don’t want to go into battle there are some wonderful woodlands nearby to explore, so go on over and see if you fancy becoming a fully fledged Trojan!

Medieval Role-Play at Artstonia Village

Interested in trying some medieval role-play? Drax and I teleported over to a ‘Hotspot’ sim called Artstonia Village. We could see no end of avatars showing on the map, but failed to find the ones indicated to be below ground level (possible bots, who knows!). We did, in fact, meet a few people to say ‘Greetings’ to. There is a nice atmosphere about this village sim, and providing you are willing to dress the part and talk in the accepted manner (there are note cards advising on entry), you should really enjoy a visit there. Be a little wary of wandering though, as you may find you are entering restricted areas without realising it. We received a couple of notices saying we had wandered onto private land and would be ejected if we did not leave. You may meet dragons, wizards, elves, goblins, pixies, faeries and all sorts, as well as human avatars dressed in the medieval period costumes. It’s a well constructed village and has great detail, we will go back again to say ‘Greetings’ and sample the ale at the local tavern, give it a try, you can even pick up some free costumes at the teleport area when you arrive.
