Kiro Dragoon Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I was just wondering how many people here play Second Life, ya never know, ya might know someone here ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcana Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Welcome to OCR, Kiro Dragoon. I actually don't know what people think about Second Life on these forums. It has a pretty bad rep on a lot of the Internet. I posted a documentary a while ago in the MMORPG thread in PPR and that gave a pretty interesting look at obsession in Second Life. But to answer your question, I don't play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyHunter Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Prepare for this thread to be moved. Unless the mods decide that Second Life isn't a video game I also don't play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thylacine Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 There was a lot of conversation and interest about Second Life at my university. A guy was trying to make it playable for blind people (not sure how it'd work, but cool idea), and it was seen as a vehicle for online marketing in the business school. Not sure how much of a return you'd get on that. I tried it, ended up in a foreign language district, and could think of nothing I wanted to do in my second life that I didn't want to do more in my first (except visit a beach and a jungle, and the jungle crashed my weak computer). It was also a little creepy talking to people whom I shared no interest with. It's hard to lurk there without being creepy. I never thought to look for "video game" settings, but probably wouldn't like talking with people there, either. The more private rooms seemed to only have 5 people in them anyway.

Kiro Dragoon Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 To be honest i get yelled at when i call it a "game" while around people that are realy into it, they call it a "platformer".... I guess it isnt realy a game, more of a virtual world... games tend to have quests, goals, and battles and enemies... the enemy thing is optional in second life, but it dosnt realy have the rest Its an interesting way to make new interesting friends, and trust me when i say that the furries arent what everyone makes them out to be, they are very interesting, and often I found them to be very funny and intelectual. ^.^ There are down sides to second life though... like griefers... but where I spend my time the most is a sim called Twilight Town, and I am one of the founders of that sim.. (It's roughly based on Twilight Town from Kingdom Hearts)... but since im an admin there i get to ban people for not following the rules and whatnot ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a terrible (and mostly undeserved) reputation. It's like racism, but based on hobbies instead of race. I don't know if there's a better word for that.

Ben Steed Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm a big fan/user of it. I spend my time on it at a Buddhist retreat Zendo. Much easier than finding one near where I live, and the people are so welcoming. They also have real Buddhist teachers coming onto it to give Dharma talks. I loves it. Yeah I'm a nerd.
