Development of Fishing 4.0 well underway!

Web and database coding is well underway on the 4.0 project. In 4.0 we'll be taking the catch and tournament computations away from Second Life and moving them to the web, so you can count on decreased lag, automatic state saves of your stats, and networked fishing tournaments from around the world!

Big Fish Update and New Quests Coming Soon!

We're currently putting the finishing touches on a massive fish update, so we'll be stocking the pond with dozens of new fish as well as adding several new quests to the system.

 
Fishing Game: Neo-Realms Scoopers

Neo-Realms Scoopers is a mini-game for the fishing camp. Based on Japanese goldfish scooping, the Scoopers have a menu-driven interface, variable scooping options, and a built in 15-minute mini-game for daily prizes, where you try to collect the most stars and rubies.

New Neo-Realms Team Fishing League Kickoff!

The Neo-Realms Team Fishing League (TFL) is a competitive, team-based tournament league for Neo-Realms Fishing. Players compete in 2v2 matches over the course of a 15 week season. The top 8 teams for the season will then compete in a Final 8 tournament to determine the league champion. The TFL uses a special league rod that is supplied upon registration. League matchups will usually occur on Sundays, with overflow and makeup days on Mondays and Tuesdays. Our first season is set to kick off Sunday, February 19th and is open to all residents of Second Life, so hurry and register! Click here to visit the Official TFL homepage!
