One of the things which seems to come up regularly with new visitors is "how do I get the combat system in Sunnydale working?".
Help is at hand in the form of a video tutorial. You'll also find this in-world over at the Magic Box, at the training center out back.

"Sunnydale SL" now easier to find
It's always been a bit difficult to find areas of Sunnydale in the search box of the viewer. Since the launch in November there have been so many structural changes that we've never quite caught up with going around to each parcel, updating it's description and adding it to search.
One interesting fact is that items now seem to appear in search so much more quickly than before. It used to take a day or so - now it's updated within a few hours. Very good stuff!
As regular visitors will have noticed that the changes have settled down since the end of last year - but we have lots of plans for the continuing development of the sim. Just like any city Sunnydale is under constant change.
We do read your comments in the suggestion boxes, posted on the main street, by the Bronze, so let us know your thoughts.

Sunnydale Reborn
Hi dear friend and reader; it's been almost a year since Sunnydale SL started and with Halloween looming it's a great time to take stock.
Sunnydale regulars have been delighted not only by more tourist spots, but by their more accurate recreation which gives one the feeling of actually being on the set! Currently there are 3 iconic locations that are open to the public:
The Bronze
The one and only nightspot of BtVS has been lovingly recreated in painstaking detail. To give you an idea of the size the figure that can be seen in front is Spike!
Spike on the stage playing DJ! This view shows the catwalk which is familiar to BtVS fans.
The Magic Box
The Magic Box's new facade is now more faithful to the show. Fittingly enough it's located in the commercial section of Sunnydale!
The backroom of the magic box which has everything need to train a slayer. Giles takes a morning workout at the punching bag.
Sunnydale High School
Sunnydale High is the most iconic location of all having been the main setting of Seasons 1-3 before being rebuilt for Season 5. In Sunnydale SL it acts as the Welcome Centre and is a hug for many activites.
Sunnydale High as seen from a slightly elevated view. The tiny speck in front is Buffy.
A closer view of the School entrance showing more detail.
The immediately recognizable courtyard, a favorite hangout of the students.
An aerial view of the courtyard showing the entire school.
Buffy in the Library, where the Scoobies spent many an afternoon and the evening working out plans on how to keep Sunnydale safe.
While the piccies give you some idea there is no substitue for actually visiting and being there yourself!
Sunnydale lives only on SL!

Go check what the residents of Sunnydale-SL have been taking pics of, or publish some yourself!

Summer is coming - how will that influence things?
I wonder if the summer months will prompt a fall in the amount of visitors to SD or a rise? It's hard to know as every month for this, the first year of SD, is a learning process. We have nothing to base it on - no figures for traffic to plan advertising and marketing of the sim on or periodic data on trends. It does give the freedom to try lots of different things and find out what works. With that in mind, I was considering the other day how good it would be to create a role-playing sim owners group - a place to gather and discuss the development of RP sims, share knowledge and help to advance RP in Second Life. Maybe I've created myself a job ;)
