Second life - Diary

Haven't posted my diary entry on here for a few days reason for this? the slowness of the laptop and its hard to get around places. In my last entry my aim was to go to a different place rather then just going to freebie islands and I did manage to get to a few.


The first island that I managed to get on i'm not quite sure what its called but it was very strange. Everyone was grouped in one place so I decided to go exploring and everywhere I looked was empty. It looked pretty run down. There were also a few unusual buildings that held weird art.


I did however spot some pretty fancy cars (audi tt) and thought why not try and drive it so I did everything I learnt in my orientation and do you know what happened? I got chucked!! After being thrown across the road a message appears saying 'unable to drive ' which i'm guessing that someone owns the car and it must of had some lock on it which only lets the authorised user able to use the car.

After having a few talks someone told me that you can type in a searh word and t would come up with all the islands that you could use so, that is what I did.


This was the screen that I come up with. It gave me all of the information that I needed to know about the island i.e. popularity, resources etc. When I was happy with what I saw I just had to select teleport and I was there and what a shock I got when I landed on that island.


The amount of avatar's that were there!!! I had never seen so many avatars in one place. From what I could gather if you dance for a certain amount of time then you received second life money in return. I also noticed that avatars were asking where you could camp now I still not too sure what that means so I still need to seek out that answer and I also need to know how you dance for certain amount of time. I could dance for a bit but never continuously.

My next aim is to move into some more popular islands as I could not get into them this time due to the capacity allowed. I would also like to try and find out how to do more gestures because i'm now struggling with that.
