Membership
Stand for something in the colonies
Three rungs of standing, bought in-world with L$. Every tier carries a title, a role on Discord and the forum, and a discount on everything we make.
Nothing leaves Second Life
No card, no third party, no account with anybody else. You pay our bot in L$ from the avatar you are signed in as, and your standing applies about a minute later.
There is also nothing to cancel. Second Life cannot charge anyone on a schedule, so a membership runs for the time you bought and then stops — we message you in-world before it does.

Platinum
The currency that buys what coins cannot
Coin chests worth thousands, a five-hundred-slot warehouse, and potions that put a character back on their feet. Every one of them is sold for platinum and nothing else — and a membership hands you the whole lot on the day you join: 750 platinum for a year of Citizen, 1,500 for a year of World Builder.

Platinum is sold to Citizens and World Builders only — it is what membership is for, rather than something to buy around it.
How paying works
Choose here, pay in-world
- 1
Pick a tier and how long you want it for. We tell you the amount and message it to you in-world.
- 2
Pay our bot that amount in Second Life, from the avatar you are signed in as.
- 3
Your membership applies automatically, usually within a minute. Pay less than the price and we hold it until you send the rest; pay more and the difference comes back.
Second Life has no way for anyone to charge on a schedule, so a membership never renews itself. We message you in-world before it runs out, entitlements keep working for 3 days after — and a World Builder’s discount grows the longer it stays unbroken.
Before you buy
The questions everybody asks
- What happens when it runs out?
- Your entitlements keep working for 3 days, then stop. Nothing you bought with platinum or coins is taken away — standing lapses, possessions do not.
- Can I move up a tier partway through?
- Yes. Buy the higher tier and it replaces what you have; we hold anything already paid against it rather than starting you over.
- Does platinum expire?
- No. Platinum you have been given or bought stays on your account whether your membership is live or not.
- Does my discount apply to gems and platinum?
- No — those two are the exceptions, and everything else in the shop is discounted by your tier. Gems and platinum are currency rather than things we make, so a discount on them would mean selling L$1,250 of spending money for less than L$1,250. Your tier's discount covers the whole catalogue: stations, fields, tools, essentials and the rest.
- Do I need a membership to play?
- No. Settler is free with a verified avatar and the group in-world, and the game itself is open to you — farming, crafting, gathering, hunting, trading and every region are not behind a tier.
- Is anything locked to members, then?
- Buying platinum. It is sold to Citizens and World Builders, so the whole platinum shelf above comes with a membership. Crates are open to everyone: anybody can craft, pack, fill and seal one, and sealing simply takes the platinum it costs.
Three rungs of standing
Settler is free and always will be. Citizen buys platinum and a title. World Builder is for the people outfitting a region, and its discount grows the longer you hold it.
