Second life - Diary

Back again and not very happy with my outcome on this venture to second life. My aim for my next trip into the virtual world was to learn more gestures however this was not completed. But I did manage to get into some different islands including Money island which I was unable to do previously.

After watching a documentary on second life an island called 'Avalon' was mentioned where one of the couples met so, I thought I'd check the place out to see what it looked like.


When I arrived there you could see why they went there, it is such a beautifully designed island (as you can see in the image) there has been such detail put towards this island to make it look like a small paradise, there was even a dolphin been designed that would continuously jump out of the water.


The only downfall to this was that there was a lack of people online and not many people in the worlds that I had looked around. I think that is what I need to start make more friends with other avatars and get some more information/ advice on where to go.


This screen print is an example if just how empty the islands were. This was suppose to be a disco ballroom club and yet no one was there but I've come to realise that as second life is build on American time it was 6:30 in the morning so I could see why it would be so empty. After looking around I decided to try teleporting to money island and I did, what a disappointment. No one would do anything, all the avatars did was sit around....boring. So I teleported to happy island which was hippy place.


This screen print here shows me outside the island. Now I wanted to show this because I was kicked out of the island because I had not joined the club that lets you do things so, that was a first for me.

I now have two aims for my next visit to second life and they are to join a few more groups and, learn some more gestures.
