Second Life, Linden Lab & OpenSim News
Today is the last day to explore the SL14B regions before they go offline for another year. Today at 4pm SLT the annual cake blow up event will start where all prims will be changed to phantom over at the Cake Stage. The party will continue at Stage Left after the blow up.
At 12pm SLT today the SL14B regions officially opened to the public in Second Life after months of planning. The SL14B regions will now remain open until 3rd July 2017 so there is plenty of time to see everything.
Come over and enjoy the birthday celebrations today! 🙂
Stay updated on the latest SL14B news here.
Yesterday the Second Life press had special access to preview the SL14B sims. The long wait is almost over because the SL14B Community Celebrations officially open to everyone at 12pm SLT today.
At first glance the SL14B regions look really impressive this year. There are 18 SL14B regions to visit and explore. There will be live performances, live DJ events, hunts, pod tours and so much more during the week ahead.
Second Life officially turns 14 years old on 23rd June 2017 and there will be grid wide celebrations.
The annual Second Life birthday is one of my top favourite events to attend. I’m always impressed by the amazing builds, events and great community atmosphere there is.
My first preview snapshots of SL14B.
I will be posting more SL14B snapshots on my blog in the days ahead and on my Flickr stream. Stay tuned for that 🙂
There is now exactly one week to go until the resident supported SL14B celebrations opens to the public in Second Life. The SL14B celebrations officially starts at 12pm SLT on Sunday 18th June through until Sunday 25th June for performances. The SL14B regions will remain open for viewing until 2nd July 2017.
This year SL14B Press Day will be happening on Saturday 17th June 2017 where members of the press will be able to preview the sims before it opens to the public. The theme for SL14B is Carnivalesque and it’s going to be interesting to see what they come up with this year in terms of builds.

The wait is almost over! 🙂
Now there are exactly 31 days until this year’s Second Life 14th birthday celebrations officially opens to the public. There are 18 SL14B regions for this year’s 14th birthday celebrations and the builders are hard at work trying to get everything completed on time. The theme for SL14B is Carnivalesque and it’s going to be fantastic.
SL14B applications have been re-opened this week and the SL14B event organisers have been granted a few more parcels due to the high demand. Hurry and sign up now if you are interested in being an exhibitor at SL14B.
For those interested in the important key dates for SL14B, please see below.

Applications for this year’s Second Life 14th birthday celebrations are now officially open and there are many open positions available for exhibitors, performers, volunteers, for the auditorium and for the press. Just a reminder applications will close around 8th May 2017 and exhibiting spaces at SL14B are FREE and will not add to your tier.
SL14B officially opens to the public on Sunday 18th June 2017 through until Sunday 25th June 2017. The SL14B theme is Carnivalesque for this year so it’s going to be amazing to be part of the huge carnival atmosphere.
Building work started weeks ago on the SL14B regions and good progress is being made now in the south-east part of the map. More still needs to be done in the weeks ahead. There are now 63 days (2 months away) until the grand opening of SL14B.
In mid June 2017 Second Life will be celebrating it’s official 14th birthday and just recently 18 new SL14B regions arrived on the grid. Early preparations have already started behind the scenes for the birthday and it’s going to be interesting to see what the SL14B team/community comes up with this year.
No details have been released yet for SL14B important key dates, any open event positions or what the theme will be. I would imagine there will be announcements made within the next few months for those interested in participating in SL14B.
What would you like to see happen at SL14B this year ?
The SL14B Countdown Has Started
There are four months until SL14B takes place in June 2017 when Second Life officially celebrates it’s 14th birthday. It’s been confirmed there will be 18 regions for SL14B and that the performance venues will be larger than in previous years.
If you are interested in building the core infrastructure for the SL14B regions or designing the main SL14B attractions like the Welcome Area, Auditorium or Performance Stage you will be glad to hear that Infrastructure Build Applications for SL14B are now open.
SL13B last year was very successful and probably the best one I’ve experienced for sure. I can’t wait to see and experience SL14B. 🙂
I’ll post more SL14B updates soon on my blog when they come available.
