What is Second Life?! And how I came 
As mentioned earlier in my blog I am a user of the virtual world "Second
life ", well today has much less when I started, now I spend about five hours per week which is really nothing.
So what my first two weeks c That was on 20 hours a day non stop.
I first experienced Second Life very soon, it had not yet had the media, its media began around 2006/2007.
I was 2 years before he I think that came across a link in and spoke with my girlfriend at the time we had installed, we had to stay there one hour before uninstalling the very most, because from my point of view it more difficult to hang a second life if it starts as a couple.
For any of the first Second Life is that it is a social tool, and therefore I do not see myself going to speak to someone, especially women with my ex girlfriend was jealous of side:)
Especially in the early second life bone-setters, have to tell it like it is. Our
avatar (character) at baseline is not very nice (especially if like me you're a fan of video games, it seems early to arrive on a "game" of 10 years ago), the sets area of arrival are basic, the choppy movement is particularly because the area got a lot of world and so that lag significantly.
short one hour after Second Life was uninstalled.
Then in 2007 a few months after my separation from my ex girlfriend is not too psychologically fit, somewhat reclusive, I came across a show that talked about (see media coverage of 2006/2007) and I thought like j 'had not pushed the last time, I will deepen see what lies beyond, especially as the images look more realistic avatars, and the sets of video fun.
So I re-installed Second Life (I said Second Life is entirely free, at least to get there, I will develop later), and I finally leave the arrival area or does not speak French.
I quickly familiarized with the "search" and typed "France" or something like that, then "teleport" and poof here I am in a "sim" French (Second Life is like a world filled sim itself divided by region, these are often sim spaced by ocean, and the sim are purchased by users like you and me, yet I will elaborate later).
I first listen to what people said about the general chat, I started to customize my avatar a bit more hair color , Size, and then I create clothing is the clothing you choose basic or predefined color. And I walked around.
Soon I was approached by older people offering me their help, I asked them some stuff that I did not do, such as having different animations (a la base our avatar moves a bit like with a broom in the ass, and the stop is rigid) because around me I saw very realistic avatars, and has had to break off the also very real.
Basically at the beginning it looks like this:
And then we just look like this:
Or this:
See this:
Customizing your avatar is limitless, we embody some what we want, a man a woman, a dog, a vampire, a cyborg, in short what was seen everything is in second life, and we reach a few degrees of realism impressive, especially if in addition that you add what are called "AO" which is actually a script that deals with either but is invisible and that gives you a special approach, and pauses in motion when you are still spirited discussion. Basically like in real life or on the street when you cross a friend and although we mouvois one does not remain static like a robot and well with these "AO" more realism Second Life can sometimes be startling realism.
The thing is, of course it all has a cost, and thus we get in terms of money in second life. In fact
Second Life where you put your feet they are like land that users have purchased the sets are built using the tools included in Second Life but more realistically "buildeurs" (person who build things in Second life) using other tools, for example to make animations very realistic some use of 3D animation software pro, has seen the motion capture.
So between the first picture I put up and the last there is a cost, rest assured it is not much.
In fact the system is simple, once account is his full name and chosen, writ once create your avatar, you can visit the site of Second Life is register your credit card, it allows you at any When buying currency in this world "Linden Dollars".
Basically depending on the course (as was the award) 1000 Lindens equals a 2 € 50.
Or work to earn his money, but attention must not imagine the job like in real life, actually on second life 90% of jobs that are offered this example has a place to stay seated, or by clicking a "balls" that makes your character animate wash a tile shop.
This system is called "camping" in large AC is used to inflate the traffic in a sim for the sim that contains such stores be indexed better by the search engine second life.
Basically you keep a deserted place by himself or "bot" (simple avatars created by other players who are set to collect the money from the campsite), and it pays such a misery for 5 to 10 Lindens 30 minutes, often short a waste of time and besides Linden Labs (owner and developer of Second Life) will prohibit "camping". Once
with money in his pocket and give you an idea of prices of things you might wish to improve their avatar, and although such a nice haircut is roughly 100 Lindens, a AO (animation of the avatar) 600 Lindens, a skin (the skin, which are made in photoshop and provides depth to your avatar) between 500 and 1000 lindens. After
clothes like all that Varis, one finds a full sets 200-300 lindens.
Forcement said like that, you just think "never
I'll fuck the money for such crap "and you're right.
Especially in second life that we are not obliged to use a credit card and buying lindens because there are so-called "freebie", these are all items that can be sold in stores (not the same course) but free.
They are of poorer quality, but today in 2009 looking good (in the hunt freebies is often the first things we did at the beginning) there are freebies really well done, at least more than in 2006 and before, and especially if your avatar is a woman (SL shopping is much more diversified for women), of course needless to say that all female avatars are not real women, it says it is less common than on the mmorpg, second life still attracts many women.
So once your custom avatar having paid with freebies or whatever, you still have many things to do. Some will take
second life as a social tool to discuss with other people, other countries sometimes.
PS: Note that we talk in second life (since 2007) with the "voice" with a headset you can move and hold conversations in audio. other will use second life as a 3D meetic (and many couples or singles sexcapades are via Second Life), the other will engage in a bizzness like to prospect on the sale of land.
Some will buy land and put a house there, and take pleasure in decorating, and customize their avatar, buying lots of clothes, etc. Others will
"builder" is a mean to build things, (at last beginning to learn more) they will then sell in a store that will buy.
Some will make the picture, given the realism achieved, Second Life can make nice little picture for you photoshop masters behind, but the still can be learned.
There is of course a big part of the players who will make the "Role Play" (role playing), other cyber-sex (Second Life is a picture of the net, and contains numerous "sim" to engage in cyber-sex, get a bite (yes the original avatar without him), or "sexbed" of the bed containing scripts that are hosted 2 avatars in sexual positions).
and others will be DJ (a lot / too many clubs in SL) by mixing from home, others see as a top model in their second life, and therefore they will have some open so photographers agency modeling involving photographers, etc. ... is really everything in Second Life.
In fact very often will allow Second Life are people who'd never had the opportunity or felt the need to create things and express themselves through a particular practice.
And as far and you meet people, many people, some become knowledge, then friends, see some very good friends, then meet some in real life.
Personally I mostly took second life as a social tool, in fact I have the curiosity of the other, and being able to one day talk to 10 people groin dessuite I liked, and even when small I got a little formed a small circle of friends, I spent excellent evenings with them, sometimes crying with laughter at my PC.
Another important thing to notice and that I see is that Second Life is home to many people who just come to second life after an injury, a broken heart, a problem etc. in the same way that I had landed.
This often helps to talk with people who know very well the situation that have lived at that time as they sometimes experience the same story. So
reconciliations are faster, and it is sometimes tempted to say "
bizzarre he / she also saw the same thing me "
After I did not say that Second Life contains only people with problems in their life, it will be very far from reality, but there are still a lot and it makes sense, Second Life is a adult world (although there have sometimes minor slips in, he did not stay long) and the day today with the internet and just the hype of Second Life, many people 25 - 45 years such that for example the couple is struggling, and who may feel isolated, not knowing who was speaking, and good for either second life has sometimes served as crutches, and I think Just as many people found it comfort and happiness in second life which allowed them to remount the slope in real life, like I do.
Now Second Life has a lot of defects, it is already extremely resource intensive for your PC, as has the difference of a kind online games mmorpg (massively multiplayer role-playing gamers) that installs on your PC and which is 15 GB, or the world and its textures are already on your PC, Second Life is different. The client
only 60 mo, and in fact at every step you made, every second that passes, every place has you go flying or teleporting you, your PC downloads the textures so the world and surround that moves (the other avatar for example), then the recalculations, and restores the screen to give you what you see (it's roughly summary). So
necessarily Second Life gets a lot on the processor, disk access, and requires a good internet connection and a graphics card more or less recent.
better your PC, your travel will be smoother and shorter the time display any signs / walls / decorating a street market for example.
And this resource is that gluttony eg role play in second life, could be the best place on earth to do and be limited a real "video game RPG.
because the degree of customization of characters is 1000 times greater than at any mmorpg market (world of warcraft, warhammer online, etc.) because we just build everything, same for what is the "background" (roughly the history of RPGs), we just build the city we want, all players are the only masters of their games.
But where it is caught in the fighting, there are weapons and combat systems, but a battle in second life means nothing, there is not enough technical and c ' is one who has the best PC win for sure. In combat
Roleplay it gives you dessuite longer want to continue this lag / ram too much to expect to take any pleasure especially if like me you've played games such as World of Warcraft or you have a button 30aine usable and perfectly fluid. Not really
second life role playing level is very good for a fan of customizing their character and background of another inventor, can give free rein to their imagination by building exactly as they want the area, the city, the world or run the game, but as he has to be avoided too play a role based on combat.
One type of roleplay as present on Second Life is the world Goreans of Gor
for description click "Gor" it takes you to the wikipedia links where you can learn much more than me, because I do not know, strictly speaking, nothing.
Except that it's quite related to the BDSM (bondage / sadomasochism) without it consisted only of that.
Oh by the way, time or people coming to live in Second Life is over, or at least it should represent only 0.001% of the population, for sure it has its beginning and soon felt something like the Chinese
Anshe Chung , today it happen again, at least not on Second Life.
Anyway here is basically my vision second life, the chaqun perceive differently depending on the encounters, the interest that will be seen, short of a whole bunch of parameters that make it little love or hate.
And then to really get an idea of the best is to try, the client can be downloaded from their site has this page
LLoigor plural, Leuk solo , Zaraki in its second life, Deus Ex Machina in the art.
