Queendom of Godiva

I was discussing with someone the other day about our Queendom and the conversation went along to alts and multiple version of SL. I realized my friend didn’t know that this was possible to do so being the helpful person I try to be I shared what knowledge I have obtained.

So, CAN YOU RUN MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF SL? While we don’t encourage it yes, it can be done. Alts are permitted and are often used in SL. For a VERY long time yours truly was totally against them until I found it necessary to think otherwise. Anywho, back to business. In order to run multiple versions of SL you need to go to the properties of the SL shortcut button and remove the string -set SystemLanguage en-us and replace it with a space then –multiple (ex: "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -set SystemLanguage en-us –multiple) You can also invest in a program such as SL Starter which will allow you to run multiple clients and also manage your usernames and passwords.

Now what you DO with an alt IMHO is YOUR business I am just passing information along so please dont shoot the messenger *grins*. I will say this Alts are alot of work!!! Think wisely before getting one because for me, keeping ONE SL life is hard ‘nuff lol. It's your choice if you wish to make your alts public or keep their identity personal.

What you CANNOT DO under ANY circumstances is use a “bot” in TE. If you are found doing so not only will you be ejected from Godiva but you stand to be ejected from the game as well. See the TE main group past notices for more info on that one....directly from the Emporer's mouth erm, computer lol.

If you DO decide to use your alt in TE can you use them to benefit your liege and the Queendom?

Well yes you can do that too but if you use the alt is just to help bring in new people, or to help your subjects, you must try to continue playing them as best as possible in order to help your liege grow. We don’t want to create "dead players" under your subjects because nobody likes having to do ALL the work right? Soooooo, here are some tips on how you can use your alt to help your liege:

1. Alts can be used to take in new citizens for those that are using the Fed HUD.

2. Alts can be used to fix line breaks and boost players so you can merge lines or repair them.

3. You can offer to place your alt as a sub when bribing someone. This will boost all the players in the new line and thus help everyone in the line.

4. If a subject in your line is struggling with the game or considering leaving, you can place your alt under this subject so they can have someone earning acres and extra gold.

5. Alts can be used to bring in brand new players the Emporer assigs to the Queendom if you or others in the line are too high in rank to accept a Squire/ess or Wanderer.


These are just a few of the suggestions you can do with your alt. Personally yes, I have one and he/she/it does play TE. I use him/her/it mostly to camp which is the reason I got an alt so I can earn lindens lol BUT while camping, he/she/it also earns gold as well. And yes my alt is pretty much kept to myself.


Just remember, it is just a game……and please play it for the right reason…….its about the friendships we are creating in TE not about who is the #1 Queen/Kingdom in the Empire. Its nice to be #1 but if there is one thing I have learned in the past few months its this. I’d rather be the 50th Queen/Kingdom in the Empire with just a handful of truly good people that I have come to know and love than to be #1 and have to step on folks and stab people in the back to get there. It’s really not worth it to lose friends over at least not mine.
