Jerilynn Lemon Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 There are many ways for a new one like you, to make lindens here. The easiest way is to buy them through a verified CC or through PayPal. If you are unable to do that, I recommend the Realms. It's an area where you collect crystals, which can earn L$. It's not an easy way to get lindens, but it can provide you with something if you have the patience. As for having a better looking avatar, there are mesh bodies on sale (not cheap) that can make you look much better than with the stock mesh body. I'm sure there will be others who will answer you better than I have. I suggest you get more familiar with Second Life before you invest time and money into it. It does have a sharp learning curve at first. Get passed that, you should have minimal problems. Welcome to SL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Nova Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 My opinion, and I stress that's what it is, is to invest $20-$50 in buying a few thousand lindens. Then you can enjoy shopping for a mesh body (but not a head yet) and a good wardrobe. Trying to do it without an investment will lead to frustration.

If you can get as she suggested, then it would be a wonderful start for you. I xan't stress enough though, be careful if you have lindens. There are people here who lack scruples and will try to con you out of those lindens. Find someone you can trust (and won't ask you for those L$; if they do, RUN, don't walk away from them). There are people here who will walk you through your starting days and assist you in getting the right mesh body and clothing so you look good. Good luck.

Derekmate Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Ok bit different approach take a few day and look around try free stuff, see if you enjoy it or not. Chat, look up events, clubs (stay away from vampires) and if you do enjoy it then invest money in it. How much you spend it's on you . Try to find newbee helping points like Oxbridge or Helping Hand (not sure that is the name). And yes don't give money to nobody because of they "help" you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you need to explore what Second Life can bring to you. Some people, after some time, find that Second Life isnt suitable for them. So don't spend money on something you don't know for sure you are going to use it. And one of many important tips here is to try demos before buying anything. And yes, don't give money to someone just because they are being nice and "helping you". A simple thank you will be enough. In any case, you can send me some message about any doubt you have and if I know the answer, I'll be glad to help.

Which, has absolutely no effect unless you're in Bloodlines - which demands your consent both in joining and for every person who wants to bite you, and if it's Prodigy it has no effect on anything. Vampires are people, and just like with people there are good and bad ones. This 'omg nu bajt meh' hysteria is pathetic. As far as harassment and griefing goes, it's both more common and more damaging to be sexually harassed or simply griefed, than 'attacked' by a vampire - to whom you simply do not accept the request and they have no power or influence over you.

She or He is new in Second Life, and I was just trying to explain what they can do. Nothing more. Like you said, they are people too, bad or good, but perhaps she/he needs to put that aside for right now (Bloodlines can be pretty stressful) and focus on exploring the good things. Personally I don't have nothing against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you mean the other way around, but the rule of thumb shouldn't be 'be afraid of vampires', but 'don't accept prompts by other avatars or objects which you do not know and trust'.

Well, he or she doesn't need to be afraid of nothing. Just careful with who she/he decides to be or do. It's not like they are going to force you do something you don't want too. Physically impossible. As a community, we are just trying to let he/she knows about what second life as to offer. It's up to the person decide if it's bad or good for them.

As a community, we are just trying to let he/she knows about what second life as to offer. It's up to the person decide if it's bad or good for them. The community is obscenely paranoid when it comes to Second Life vampirism - it is of no consequence that you are bitten unless you join the 'game', you lose nothing even if you accidentally accept the bite until you decide that you do want to join, and even then there are means of undoing past mistakes. This is far from the first and indubitably the last thread in which a new person asks for advice and people start crying out for them to beware the vampires. Vampirism isn't the problem. The problem is people, and the manifestation of the issues are as diverse as diseases. I'd take the common cold that is having some random vampire try to bite me before the cancer that is catfishing or the tuberculosis that is creeping any day.
