Living a Second Life!
9/2/2007 2:15 am Last Read: |
I've discovered a new addiction- Second Life. (You'll have to google "Second Life" for the link since alt doesn't allow outside links in blogs.) At the core of it, it is a chat program, but it is so much more than that! "You" in the game, are a 3-d avatar. It is fully customizable. You can change your hair, your eyes, your facial features and body size and shape. You decide what clothes you wear.. if any. (Not all areas of Second Life allow nudity.) Once you've decided how you'll look and what you wear, you can set off to explore. The place is huge; the scope mind boggling. Because there is so much to see and do, the Second Life (from now on referred to as SL ) programmers put in a search feature. You can find people by clicking on the people tab and typing in their name. For example, to find me you'd type in BeachMystress Aabye and press search. It will bring up my profile. From a profile you can IM a person, add them as a friend (as with most chat programs, you're best off not to add people without saying hello first. It is considered rude,) send them inventory or mute/block them. To find places, you'd go to either the Places tab or Classified Tab. Say you wanted to find places about BDSM- you'd type in BDSM and press search. It gives you many results and you can visit them by clicking on the entry and clicking the teleport button. Some examples of places (called Sims for simulations) you can visit are virtual Dungeons, dance clubs, strip clubs, cafes, vampire areas, sex clubs, anthropomorphic areas (furries,) role play Sims such as a recreation of the old west town of Tombstone, Sims devoted to meeting people of the opposite sex for romance, Shoot em up gaming Sims and much more. You can even make real money on SL. While there are some free clothes and hair for people to use, there are also pay versions of everything in the game. If you become good at making something that people wish to buy in SL, you can convert the SL "Lindens" (their currency) to real currency. All in all, this is a phenomenon you don't want to miss. The regular level of Second Life is free and all you need unless you decide to buy land (you have to buy a membership if you wish to own land.) Tell them BeachMystress Aabye referred you when you sign up. Look me up once you get into the program and tell me you found SL through my blog. I'll help you out with some free hair and clothes and tips on using the program and places to visit. Hope to see ya there! |
