Does anyone have a Second Life?

Well this summer I was bored with VMK and was trying to figure out what the next VMK would be like, so I got a Second Life.
Well with that said, I have no clue what to do in there..  I have logged in a few times since, but am clueless about the whole thing.  It looks really cool, and the options on what you can make/wear seem endless for creative types.
Does anyone here play it?  If so is there a Disney community or group area? And if so again, how the heck do you find it?

I had recently heard of this...dh told me about it. There was an article about it in some magazine. From that, I gather you make a character (most, according to the article look like porn stars  :o) and then you live a life. I don't think there is any part of Disney in there--that's what VMK is for. lol The graphics looked incredible, dh was going to start a character but the program you have to download was so big he gave up. I didn't want to even try...already have enough online addictions thank you. But I think it's similar to VMK...in that it's more fun if you know people...you would have to *cough* look for a board and get to know people (just don't let Decoy catch you!). GL

Dang.....I don't seem to have enough time for the "first life", how in the heck am I supposed to live a second one. :P

You only get one shot at this life, but if you do it right once is enough. :thumbs:

a friend of mine plays it.  Wow, let me tell you, its nothing like vmk. the things you can see and buy...should come with an NC-17 rating at least lol  I tried it on my computer but my graphics card isn't compatible.  She likes it though.  She did say she met someone who was part of a disney group on there and they too played vmk but I dont believe she has seen him since.

I spent some time in Second Life  over the past few days.  I just really can not believe the amount of content in there.  :hypno: I think this is the first official generational gap I have run into (being in my early early early 30s).  If someone had told me that they wanted to start on online virtual world and expected thousands of people to create tons of quality content in it, never mind pay subscription fees to live there; I would have said, neat idea, but the internet/online community is not ready for it.

I really don't understand how there is so much content in there?  You (coolmainstreetgirl) are absolutely right that there is a TON of adult content, but it is labeled really well!  I am amazed at how well the entire place is labeled and mapped.  It's just way too big for me to grasp right now. 

A bunch of VMKers found me.  I put vmk as an interest in my profile and voila, they came to me.  They were really cool and showed me around.  As of right now, someone has re-created part of Main St USA from the WDW Magic Kingdom, including a cool castle. Its a really neat project but far from finished.  It's not VMK specific at all. There is probably more Disney fan content in there somewhere.

My advice is to get a tour from someone who knows Second Life well if you are going to give it a try.  It makes all the difference! 

Other than being wowed by the thing, I dont really think I will use it much, never mind pay for it.  It is wicked nice not having to dictionary dance. BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE FOR KIDS!!  I guess there is a teen version that is safer, but not sure how they would pull that off.

Oh and if you do check it out, I recommend the skydiving! Wicked Wicked Cool.
