Help Islands
Please note that only Volunteers can access Help Islands. However, "Help Island Public" and "Help Island Public2" are accessible by anyone. Please also note that "Help Island Public2" is an overflow for the busy "Help Island Public," not a load-balanced location. As such, it is sparsely populated. While "Help Island Public" is restarting after a crash, there will be no traffic diverted to "Help Island Public2."

Spanish speaking Groups
There are many groups where Spanish speaking residents can find help and make friends. And remember, you can create your own group!
Some of the most important are (in no special order):
- Segunda Vida (founded by long term Resident, Greeter and Mentor Blueman Steele).
- Spanish From Spain=SpaniardS in SL
- Secondlifespain.com.
- Aventura y Viajes (founded by Mentor Irene Muni) (see the web: Aventura y Viajes).
Portuguese
There are no "permanent" help structures for either Brazilian or Portuguese users, but you can join their respective major groups for more help: "Brasileiros no SL" (for Brazil) and "Tugas no SL" (for Portugal). People there will usually point new users to the most recently built areas with Portuguese content.
There is an island for Brazilian users run by residents called, very appropriately, Brasilπ. Another place is listed as having information for Brazilian users: PSDB - Diretorio SLπ. A low-traffic Portuguese forum is available on www.forumpt.com.
Multi Language
NCI INTERNATIONALπ. An International Learning Area and Tutorial Area
Sandboxes
These locations are for the technically advanced - those who are familiar with building and scripting. There are very experienced people in the sandboxes as well, but are often too preoccupied to help the Newbies who arrive interested in finding out what they can do.
Unmanaged sandboxes have no one in particular overseeing the operations of the area. They often rely on auto-returns and may have scripts disabled to prevent griefer attacks.
Managed Sandboxes have administrators or sandbox guardians who oversee the activities on the sandboxes. They are often reachable by a paging system or group chat, if they are not physically present.
Badlands Sandboxes are areas where a mix of griefers and non-griefers gather. A fight can break out at any time, so it is best to have your shields on while you are on this land. If you need a good shield, obtain the MystiTool Freebie available from the SkyBeam Sandbox.
