I looked into it very briefly however I came to the conclusion it was complicated, graphically very poor and quite expensive.

It's totally social to my knowledge so there is no real 'game' aspect to it.

If I'm wrong I apologise, these are simply the conclusions I drew when looking into it a couple of years ago.

Is it even a game? i thought of it more as a 3D chatroom.

Well i hate WOW,because you can't create your own content and there is no furry avatar. Because in Second Life they have that stuff.

Trading account in SL is against the Linden Lab TOS,and a good way for your account to be suspended.

If you want to get L$ go to the SL website and where it says "update billing info" press either credit card or paypal.

Second Life plays like a failed EQ-clone engine with a suped-up Sims tacked on the side. There is no fun to be had here besides buying the junk people make or selling whatever junk you can make.

It's like if metaplace and Bobby Kotick had a child. You can see a gleam of creativity and inspiration in it's eyes, but any hope for it's future is utterly destroyed when you step back and get a full view of this hideous crack-baby.

My opinion of capitalism probably affects this outlook, but I think the game is based on trash and so is trash at its core.

How you can possibly play this "game" and enjoy it is beyond me. To each their own, I suppose.

Well i like it because you can be a fox,wolf,whatever in it.

I didn't like it because when I tried it a friend was showing me around and I was accosted by an avatar dressed as a spartan with an enormous erect penis.

 

I logged out and never returned.

 

What exactly is the need for this?

I think you encountered a griefer.

Because i've discussed SL on websites that don't have anything to do with sl and i get responses like these.

"I recall, you came to the conclusion that no one here was really into "Virtual Worlds" last time, got mad and left. Any reason you are doing it again?

My advice? Chill out. Talk about music. Leave the virtual world talk to those on a virtual world forum. You seem like a nice enough kid. Seriously, I think you'd enjoy hanging out here, but you should really stop with the Second life"

"
It could also be that all the former posts about your wild and wooly on line gaming experiences were removed because, well, no one but you cares.

I tried to care... but failed."

"What are your thoughts on this guy?

 they are in regards to Second Life

True they're all in TP...but we have topics of substance there."

 

Why is there so much hate against SL?

here is a better one

Attach file isn't working. ):

The new contentent seems to be Naked Noobie land with the Noobs all naked with their freenises.

For me it's

1. Blingtards who wear so much bling that they could light up a airport with it.

2.Bloodlines.

3. Free unverifed accounts which turn out to be throwaway griefers.

4. bots.

5. LL breaking existing content that causes customers to get mad at you.

Do I hate it because I expected there to be actual game play? No.

Do I hate it because you have to role play? No.

Do I hate it because it is one big virtual shopping mall? OH MY GOD YES. IT'S 10% ROLE PLAY. 90% PEOPLE TRYING TO SELL YOU CRAP!

 

1. Second Life is NOT a game. Why its included on gaming sites is beyond me. It makes more sense to include it on sites having to do with social networking.

2. Second Life is not a roleplay environment. Just because you can create an avatar that is NOT you, doen't mean you are roleplaying. Most people act and speak as they do in real life when interacting in the virtual environment.

3. Of course SL looks like a big shopping mall. Commerce is a primary function in SL. You would know that if you read anything about SL before jumping into it.

4. Second Life allows business, education, social networking, entertainment, and many other things to be conducted in a virtual environment. That's the beauty of SL. It brings people across the world together to be able to do things they normally could not do because of distance and the shortcomings of conventional technology.

The WORST thing that has ever happened to SL is people identifying it as a game.

I know it's not a game, i have a business on there and i'm gonna have to relocate my store to Zindra.

But what about the middle thing?

 

The only things i hate is bots inflating traffic, and griefers using megaprims to cause lag.

I'm in it too,and i love hanging out at clubs and whatnot and listening to music.

But the newest viewer 1.23.4 is kinda wonky.
