A Grid-Wide Game for SLers Who Want to Catch Virtual Fish for L$, and Landowner Who Want More (Fishing) Visitors

Speaking of hunts in Second Life, NWN partner Second Ads has a game called Fish Hunt, which as you may have guessed, involves fishing for virtual sea life, with a cool (in my biased opinion) hook: Players can exchange the fish they catch for Linden Dollars. In-world merchants and sim owners can host this game on their land to attract visitors (hosted fishing spots are listing on this site here), while SLers can play the game to earn some spending money while hanging out and chatting with fellow players, and exploring the world's oceans, rivers, and ponds. (You know, pretty much most the reasons people like actual fishing.)

Here's how to play:

Read the Fish Hunt guide here, but basically, you just need to get the game's free heads-up display on the Marketplace here or go to the website to find fishing spot. The goal is to collect fish of different Linden Dollar values across the SL, and then visit the Fish Hunt Headquarters (direct SLurl teleport at this link)) and touch the ATM machines there to collect your fishing earnings. Second Ads spokeswoman AmyNeville Resident says many players earn L$300 a day playing this and their other games, and 15,000 SLers go fishing every month. (About as many people who regularly go fishing in World of Warcraft, I bet.)

Now, THIS is a good idea. Takes the place of the camping chairs.

I played that in 2007 with the 7Seas fishing system

Actually this is quite different that the 7Seas game set up . With Fish Hunt you do not catch " prim " fish , you catch virtual fish that all have different linden values which can then be turned into the game ATM for Lindens .

The HUD is free and so is the beginners' fishing rod .

Fish Hunt also can tie in with SecondAds other games through the catching of ingredients which can then be used for crafting and potions which are used as game power - ups .
