Well as everyone well knows, trying to find a suitable place to hunt, be hunted or to just make new friends this past few weeks has been somewhat a mission for most since the closing of our beloved home.
I took advantage of my new found free time and spent it exploring some of the few carp sims that SL has to offer. Now i took into consideration what many of us may want from their particular hang out...as for some, or many...it may not be just so much to do with the hunt but also to do with being with like-minded people with a shared interest, to practice sparring, to practice running, to meet someone, to role-play with close friends or a place to go with your master/mistress.
Each place i visited has similar rules regarding activity on the sim...some are more strict than others, some more lenient..some are so strict that its possibly better they don't have any general public there and just close the sim to specific VIP's.
It's always good to ask yourself what is your ideals regarding your hang out before you settle for one particular place, take time to observe the people there...are they friendly? are they all old friends? do they welcome new-comers willingly? is it mainly couples? is it switch orientated? has the sim been there long? it is established? Is it laggy often/always/sometimes? ...all obvious things to think about when you look at it but also important as finding a new place to settle is one of the hardest things to do in SL.
I often found myself visiting the same places over and over, between them and the Gor Hub which to me is one of the coldest places i have visited to date, but it enables you to find out about possible new places. I found myself visiting quite a few of the pretty Gor sims SL has to offer which in my opinion was far better than standing around in the hub its self which i found to be quite soul destroying.
So on my travels i came across this pretty little sim called Mystical Land Role Play of Sexual Pleasures . I was straight away welcomed by their non fussy approach to entering the actual sim, it was a literal case of join the group, stick your meter on...and TP down. The rules were simple and uncomplicated, Hunters & Prey could be either sex and also more mythical folk are more than welcome, the place is switch friendly & GM meters are used. On TP'ing down to the main sim...i was transported outside of a neat little comfortable safezone set within their little village of quaint little cottages on the edge of some forest land. The village is set out in the style of a working community, with its haylofts and gardening plots, neat little houses positioned carefully for privacy for the renters, a nice little dancing gazebo for couples, the dock where fish hang on hooks and its very much like working docks behind it sits a neat little tavern.
The left of the village is all dense woodland, you can plow through it, hide in it, relax in it, the textures are beautiful and uncomplicated and as you come out of the other side along the shoreline you see the huge castle overlooking the pretty lake, their cliffs sit to the left of that, running along side the actual safezone which consists of a comfortably cushioned area of gorean style with its central fire and an interesting cage hanging above! The colors are warm and inviting.
Over the cliffs or through the trees that sit slightly behind the safe-zone and village area there are all kinds of interesting things to be found. Its beautifully designed with its landscape and hills, bridges that lead to a volcano. the hills hide a number of caves and pathways, some so hidden that you find them by accident! There are endless private places to role play or snuggle up, you can leap across the rock face or charge underwater along the fast moving river that divides the landscape. It's green and lush with its open spaces and cool and shady in the woodland areas that hold all manner of naughtiness (winks)
I found the folk of Mystical very welcoming and friendly to newcomers, the environment is very laid back and people there just seem to be hanging out and enjoying each others company for the most part. This is key for me, as the social aspect is important without being bogged down by a group of unfriendly people and harsh rules, Mystical is in no way like this and i would recommend it to anyone! The hunting grounds are amazing, the rope-play equipment is of a very good standard and you can tell that a lot of work has gone into the sim that has been standing there for about a year now.
Mystical is hosting one of their regular scavenger hunts coming soon, There are many nice items to be won and a chance to meet people and see a little of what goes on...
Mystical has almost everything you could ask for in a carp sim...so go over and check it out!
