Second life - Diary

Right my in my last post I had two aims and they were to join more groups and to learn more gestures and I think that I've done it. When I return back to the virtual world I was allowed back into Happisland and I wanted to make some money and messages kept popping up saying the best way to earn free money was to take a survey. So that was what I planned to do.


The image on the left shows what the survey boxes look like. They are called however ATM machines and when I clicked on them it wasn't what I was expecting. When I clicked on either machines a link would appear but not to surveys but to membership form for either gyms or online companies. I did not pursue this as I don't really trust these types of sites however this has now shown me one example of how companies advertise their business, doing this method advertises globally and because it is free linden money avatars will sign up.


I lost interest of Happisland because no one was willing to help me join the group so I went to few different clubs and, I suddenly learnt gestures all you have to do is right click on the object/floor and select what you can do. The image to the right is an example of my avatar sitting down.


Off on search again I came across a list of popular places and Jazz bar sounded quite interesting so I teleported there and wow!!! the avatars there look stunning. I was guessing that these were regular users and had the money to buy glamerous dresses. Even the assistants of the islands looked the part but as I did not and look quite casual they didn't seem too interested in talking to me.


I worked out how to dance yay!! but as I didn't look the part no one seemed too interested in dancing with me oh well I wasn't too fussed because I now know how to dance and do gestures.

I would like to try and experience second life more in the day time because when ever I go on its always night time for the virtual world so I will go on at a later time and have a look around, maybe something different will go on.
