So apparently its impossible to not click CNN, Yahoo or MSN homepages without seeing a article regarding the game Second Life. Some how you have yet to hear about it? Dont worry, this is the part I insert the about information from the secondlife.com homepage.
"Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely created by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe. "
Amazing isnt it! Apparently, I can hardly walk into a place that knows my technical background without being hounded about it. Of course, Im not one to go by and let the belief stand...SL is far from the original or have an original idea. Its no different than playing World of Warcraft, Star Wars Galaxy or Guild Wars but instead of relaying on developers to create the content the game developer Linden Labs decided to charge players a monthly fee to develop content FOR THEM. Brillant!
What about the linden dollar exchange for a real dollar...ever heard of eBay? Except now people dont have to go through a 3rd party...cutting additional cost for Linden Labs to hire a team to search for players breaking terms of service.
Of course I do have an account and have participated in a few areas such as the Virtual CSI: NY Second Life game. I dont even have to worry about opening a browser to CNN.com anymore since CNN has annouced it has its own virtual CNN section in SL.
I am curious thou, who has fallen into the hype of Second Life!?
