" 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

   Secondlife is a dying 3-world where Linden Lab-SL allows and promotes "escorts" (animated prostitution), it is definitely not for any minor.Secondlife is a dying 3-world where Linden Lab-SL allows and promotes "escorts" (animated prostitution), it is definitely not for any minor. As you teleport from simulation to simulation be prepared for varying sim rules. For example, one sim only the sim owner can eject and or ban (means if you attempt to teleport there again you'll be denied access) while yet other sims certain group members can eject or ban you even without valid justification. For example, if you put select sim/group members on block you could be banned from that particular sim. Yet another example, if you disagree with these empowered group-sim members be prepared to be ejected and or banned from that sim sight. This only one of many Secondlife "catch 22s."
   This 3-d world uses a currency called Linden dollars AKA L$, which you earn various ways in SL, or buy with a credit card. Here is where the manipulation begins too. SecondLife uses artificial intelligence (bots) usually what seasoned SL residents deem "insult bots" programmed to literally insult you in various way. One example: these insult bots will cut down your avatar appearance in hopes you will spend more L$ to improve/upgrade your current body and shape, which translates into more margin (profit) for Linden Lab-SL. As mentioned above you can be ejected and or banned from any sim for any reason, but there is way around it. All you have to do is create a "new" SL account, but you'll have to re-buy (spend more) all your items since none of it is transferable to a new account. See the manipulative pattern; however there is far more to SL than just their 3-world. SecondLife has a "Forum" website.
   SecondLife provides a forum site where SL announcements are posted, along with residents' questions and comments. Also, you can login into this site and allegedly post answers to residents questions. If you are really techy avoid this site; since SL heavily promotes use of Nvidia products (I am assuming Linden Lab-SL is either sponsored by Nvidia and or gets a kickback for promoting their products.) IF you attempt to post anything of technical facts that contradicts SL's heavy promotion of Nvidia, yes you guessed it you can be banned from the forum. Of course, there is a way around the forum ban, which you can probably guess by now. You'll have to create a new SL account to post again in SL's forum, but that is only the tip of the icebrg. While losing 100s of SL residents (users) they have gone through various CEOs too.
   The current CEO that I am aware of is Ebbe Altberg AKA "Ebbe Linden" who worked as a YAHOO executive for approximately four years. The Yahoo chatrooms no longer exist (closed.) What makes this interesting before Yahoo closed those chatrooms they posted (for all to see) they were tracking IP addresses, which most thought was to deter the pedophiles from preying on kids. No one realized that after Yahoo closed those rooms that names/info of all users would be SOLD to various online companies. Is it possible to expect the same style identity piracy when SL finally closes?? Will SecondLife survive?
   As many discover a former YAHOO executive now leads SL (most current CEO I am aware of..it is a revolving CEO door), varying sim rules, non stop SL manipulation to force you to spend more money along with dwindling number of SL users it is a simple answer. No… Expand

   This thing is scary. Second Life is not a game it's a 3D chat room and most of the people in this great world of Second Life are sociallyThis thing is scary. Second Life is not a game it's a 3D chat room and most of the people in this great world of Second Life are socially broken and rather disturbing to talk too. I found multiple people who where having really nasty conversations and the idea that people live in this thing is just plain creepy. I saw some really dirty stuff too that will burn in my head for many many years.
   
   I set out to try and find someone to talk to but people just stand around DOING NOTHING, I found the occasional person who would say "hello" but that was pretty much it. The "game" runs like a piece of crap and lags terribly because every island was filled with stuff, most of which was nude avatars.
   
   If you choose to download this I hope you don't see what I did and I hope you actually find someone to talk too.
   
   P.S The rude stuff is every where so prepare to see alot of porn and other nasty sh*t… Expand

   Oh my , where to begin... I was on it 12 years...It used to be wonderful. I cherish the friends etc I made. I decided to go premium 3 weeksOh my , where to begin... I was on it 12 years...It used to be wonderful. I cherish the friends etc I made. I decided to go premium 3 weeks ago, and all of the sudden I get banned(yesterday). Age play they say... I NEVER had a child avi, EVER. I am very childlike in personality but I am 39 years old RL! I made that clear on my 1st tab rl info there. They terminated me without any warning, stole my lindens(close to 20 000L), and my money from premium membership. I tried to have a civilized conversation with them, but they refused to be cooperative all the while stealing my money. I filed a dispute on paypal to get refunded for the premium membership thing...A partial refund for the remaining 11 months I was entitled to. They are thieves who play the "morality" game, but have no issue taking money that belonged to me. Apparently, I cannot have my fetishes, my own desires which were 100% consenting between 2 adults RL. I cannot be ME. This is wrong on so many levels! I strongly advise against playing SL, especially spending any money. Don't give them a dime! I'd give 0 stars if it wasn't for the good friends I had there.… Expand

   M BAD EXPERIENCES with Second Life ...a few months ago signed in to play Second Life, for a while i played with my default avatar, because itM BAD EXPERIENCES with Second Life ...a few months ago signed in to play Second Life, for a while i played with my default avatar, because it took me a while to figure out how to make transactions from PayPal and Skrill, when i learnt how to do it i topped up my SL account with lindens, $30 each time, on 2 different avatars, until i had enough money to buy everything i needed to create a new looks, just about when i was going to buy all my stuff, costing around 11000 lindens each look my account was put on hold by the administration, for whatever reason i have no idea....so i send a case report asking them what the matter was and instead of explaining to me what the problem was they sent me an email telling me that i was banned from playing and that my account would be lost for good, together with all the MONEY i had deposited into my account, strangely enough i have heard stories like this from other avatars i used to chat with but never really believed them. So for those of you who are about to embark on a journey into SL, beware that once they see your account is topped up with a good amount of money they shut you down, without any explanation whatsoever, no follow up emails to tell you where you went wrong, the make it impossible for you to comunicate with them, keep the money you uploaded and transfer it back into their own currancy, SL is nothing but a scam, A money laundering machine disguised under a "game" to steal money from you !! I was on for almost 3 months and nothing happened, until i topped up both accounts with money, thank you Second Life for cheating. you will eventually get caught !!… Expand
