For class, we were asked to investigate a virtual world. I decided to try Second Life again. I began optimistic but that feeling soon diminished. It took me nearly a half an hour to get away from a page that discusses SL to another where users can log in. I almost gave up!
Finally, when I was able to log in (thank God I could remember my info.), I had to figure out how to get where other people were. Honestly, it was harder than I thought it would be but, eventually, I got to where other people were.
Finding work was easier this time around for me. I found that the easiest jobs were the ones where a user could just sign up for emails and get $1 or take daily surveys for money. I know that in SL a user could actually pay (in real life) to get SL money but I'm just not that invested in the game. I am, however, guessing that that's how many people have enough money to own land and homes.
I have explored the game quite a few times since but just can't manage to get that into it. I'm assuming that if there are tons of people that enjoy SL, I might just be doing something wrong. Maybe it's because I'm alone in the game.
