Last Bit Of Second Life

I decided to carry on looking for freebies, like clothes etc to enhance the look of my avatar, this time I had a bit more luck and came across a bunch of green boxes. When I clicked on these boxes I was asked do I want to receive item, when yes was selected I was given a bunch of free stuff – success!
The items can be seen in my inventory at the bottom right of the SL interface screen.


I logged in for my final session of Second Life. I decided to change the appearance of my avatar a bit more; I gave him darker hair with also more spikes.
I decided to search for famous places/cities to see how they had been made in second life. The first place I thought of was London. However when I searched for this the places I found didn’t really resemble London that much.
I then searched for New York and was transported to the World Trade Centre memorial, I was expecting maybe Times Square or the Empire State but never mind.


I then searched for Las Vegas and captured a couple of screenshots of what I found there.


To sum up my experience of Second Life I must say I wasn’t impressed. I found it quite boring mainly due to the time I had to wait letting the software to load up. Sometimes I got so annoyed with the speed of it I just quit out of it. I think the tool to create and edit your appearance is poor and needs updating, to say its a well known program and supposedly millions of people using it, there seemed to be no one ever where I was, this ruined the experience somewhat as I expected more interaction with people.
