A Look at the Isle Kingdom of Merlot

Today, I stumbled upon the Isle Kingdom of Merlot while searching for a new sim to explore. From what I gathered from the description of the place is that it is a Medieval/Fantasy themed sim with jousting, horse jumping, horse racing, archery and a few more activities. It also states that the sim is Newbie Friendly/New People Friendly which is always very nice to know. It shows that the sim is willing to accommodate and, hopefully, even help newbies get started in Second Life.

The description of the place did not mention anything specific about role play and I did not see any information about it anywhere in the sim but they do ask in their group charter that people be in period clothing and it is not even mandatory. I guess people can come wearing anything (or nothing) and it will be okay.

Being a Homestead sim, it is understandable that there are lots of empty spaces or open spaces everywhere due to a very low prim count but I think they have laid out the place nicely. They were able to squeeze in a small pier where a Viking Longboat is docked, a couple of list for jousting, a course for barrel racing and horse jumping, a small tavern, a field for archery and a couple of castles. Also, the limited resources available to a Homestead sim will surely lag the sim during an event specially on events that use horses like jousting and horse jumping.

The Isle Kingdom of Merlot also has its own group. The name of the group is also Isle Kingdom of Merlot. Currently, they only have 6 members but the group is open enrollment so anyone can join. I guess those interested can join in and maybe help build or take part in building a new community in Second Life.

Anyway, I really enjoyed my time in the Isle Kingdom of Merlot. I know there is not much to see here but I love exploring new places and looking around a new place is very enjoyable to me. I have taken a few snapshots of the place for everyone to look at (see photos below) and for those who wish to visit the Isle Kingdom of Merlot, the SLURL is http://slurl.com/secondlife/merlot or you can just click HERE!
