Second Life

Just something that appeared when a topic of the General Discussions Forum went WAY off topic:

Each account is a sort of 'Personality', each has a name, and each lets you connect to SL under that name. So if you wish to try out Second life, you go to Lindens webpages and create an account, you select its name consisting of a first name and a surname, where you can select the first name freely, and the surname from a list of choices, and thats your account. If you wish later for whatever reasons of your own to create a second personality, the ones after the first cost you a minimal fee to create, at least, if you're honest and tell Linden you're getting a secondary account.

What the advantages of having a second account are ? Well, suppose you have a bad day and would like to go shoot people on the combat sims, and don't want it connected to your main person. Just create a second account and go have fun Or maybe you want to have an account to sell things, and account for private time where you do NOT want your customers constantly interrupting you to ask why their WonderGizmo just turned red? The reasons for having a second account are probably as many as there are secondary accounts.

For now, its probably easiest you just get yourself a single account, and try it out, you can always decide if you want to have further accounts later on

Personally, I always liked First Life better.

As for me, First Life is nice,... but I still want to be able to fly And if you thought Teleport on SL sucked, wait until you've tried the first life version I will admit the resolution is pretty good.

We (well...my wife) are just in the process of developing a second life store (hopefully opening in the new year). It seems a bit of a natural extension of the products i already make. So we have been exploring this and trying to find the best way to merge the mediums
I am sure we will use alot of FF filters in that persuit.
You work for second life Torely? Thats cool. In what aspect do you work?
