Murashu writes: I wouldnt really call SL a game. Its more of a life simulator. You can create just about anything you can imagine and setup a business to sell it. I have friends who earn RL income from their SL accounts and other friends who invest a lot of RL money into SL lol. SL used to be a huge sex sim but they have cracked down a lot in the past couple of years and although sex still occurs, they have pushed it out of the spotlight. If you enjoy RPing, there is really no limit to the amount of things you can find in SL. If you cant find something specific, theres always someone willing to make it for you...for a few lindens. Ive tried the combat gameplay in SL and I dont particularly enjoy it, but the RPing factions are a great time. My GF and I spend a lot of time living in a Drow society and we spent about a year going through different vampire covens. You can find sims based on Star Wars, Star trek, Gorean, High Fantasy, Medieval, Airports, Barbie Dolls, beaches, beastialty...yes SL dabbles in everything. Thu Oct 22 2009 7:44PM

Rachell writes: More than just a game. I put it head & shoulders above Entropia Universe because it truly allows a greater level of creativity. SL is really more like an interface from real life to cyber creations. Thu Jun 25 2009 8:31PM

Blue_devil73 writes: It's pretty cool, users have the ability to do pretty much anything they think up. I've recently gotten very confused as to how to define this. Some users say it's more than a game or it's not a game at all. I'm not sure what to think. Would be nice to have a clear definition that everyone can agree on. Fri Jun 12 2009 3:57PM

Villakoira writes: It's too bad, really. There's some amazing stuff built in Second Life, but for the most part, it's full of crazy wacky gothic furry sex clubs. On the bright side, said clubs do ban toons that appear/are underage, but geez. Also, the lag and performance is atrocious. Just not for me. Thu Jan 01 2009 8:14AM

BloodDuality writes: I'll just comment on each point. Graphics can be good or bad dependong on where you are and if the people that created what you see had any skill. Sound can be very good people anyone can stream music and video into the game world. Role Playing in a RP are can be as good as anywhere else and have infinte possibilities. Value the game is free to get and I have managed to make about $800 off of it over the past few years, with much time spent not around it. Fun depends on if you like creating, being social, or finding ways to make your own fun with other people. Community I lowered because there are a lot of idiots and great people, just like real life its about what social group you suround yourself with. Performance/Lag can be very bad since each texture needs to be loaded, but once everything in an area is rezed it should be great. Just the first 5 minutes after enting an area for the first time are horrid. Customer service is bad if you use emails but if you call they are very friendly. Tue Dec 02 2008 12:45AM

InternetHero writes: Mostly everything in this game is based on Escorts, hookers, prostitution and gay fury animal fetish sex... oh and porn... hardcore and soft. The "Roleplay" of this game is to be a Strip club manager/bouncer or to be a Stripper/escort. Yes, there are other places that could be fun but there are no people in them. Mostly everyone hangs out at sex clubs, stripper joints and freebie shops. The coolest thing I found when I did a search for "Sci Fi" was a place called "Doomed Ship" which later on I found out it was a Alien tentical sex fetish gay club. I think it's a shame to have wasted all the talent of that area on "gay tentical sex". Yes, you could or can make anything you want but make sure it has to do something with Strippers and sex and you will get lots of traffic to your parcel no problem. Sat Oct 04 2008 11:03AM
