The sometimes misunderstood Second Life |
Ó
We are on the brink of writing another Second Life article but after all of a sudden, it dawned to us that some of you don't have a concrete idea about this MMO. Of course, the game is pretty much all about that - a second life. But it has certain intricacies that are often misunderstood.Take for example the general idea that everyone in SL started as naked. Honestly, they did not. Go ask Linden Lab if you want. Maybe they were thinking of real people being born, ergo, naked. Or there's a general urge to take off clothes, just 'cause. But that isn't exactly the case. On second thought, naked could be explained as a metaphor with avatars not having an inventory of in-game trinkets and whatever.
Another one of these misconceptions is that Second Life is easy money. In the past, we have covered some of the players getting rich because of SL. While these are true, just imagine how many residents are in there. One or so millionaire out of 1.5 million residents. That definitely is not easy money.
The list goes on and on. We guess all one has to do is to fully understand Second Life is to experience it first hand. But we understand that some MMO players could not part with the comfort fantasy titles like WoW or DnD bring. But for purposes of information, here are the few other misunderstood SL concepts. Click on the read link below for an in-depth discussion of the following:
- Second Life is a benighted place full of backward people who have yet to discover the luxuries of stores, advertising, radio stations, live music, newspapers and toilet paper.
- Second Life is rather like Sim City.
- Second Life is a haven for gambling homosexual furry vampire gorean Nazi lesbian child pornographers.
- To enjoy Second Life, you need to pay, and pay, and pay.
