  • Summary: Second Life is an online digital world, built, shaped, and owned by its participants. Create a shared reality in a world full of people, activities, adventure, and fun. If you are a designer, programmer, or inventor you will be blown away by the variety of opportunities Second Life provides. Create beautiful scripted 3D objects in a totally live online environment - from weapons to clothing lines to motorcycles. Explore a rapidly changing and expanding world simulated on over 100 servers (with new land added almost daily), containing hundreds of thousands of user-created objects, daily and nightly hosted events, games to play, and people to meet. Buy and sell land, create a business, or exchange virtual for real currency. It’s up to you. Second Life is yours to imagine and inhabit. [Linden Lab]… Expand

    The ability to show others your own work makes the game the unendingly original, organic environment that it is. But all said, Second Life is what you make of it.

    Fascinating, infinite possibilities, but it's rough around the edges. [Feb 2005, p.84]

    This microcosmic world holds together only because its players agree to suspend their reality and believe in each other's fantasies. If you find yourself too sceptical to join in with this shared hallucination, you'll find little entertainment here. [PC Gamer UK]

    The creator of SL has as his signature in the SLforums a quote by Mahatma Gandhi "You must be the change you wish to see in the world. " Secondlife is user created. 99.9% of what you see in world was made by a member. There is no game to secondlife but there are many games in secondlife. Anything you can dream, you can build. Well at least you can try to build it,lol. Secondlife is the closest thing the the metaverse I have seen. They recently made joining completely free. You only need pay a fee if you wish to own land. No the graphics aren't cutting edge, but the creativity and imagination behind what you find in world is top notch. It's not for everyone, but you will never know if it is for you until you try it. And even if it is not what you expected secondlife gives you the tools to make it what you want it to be. It is definately worth checking out.… Expand
