BelindaN Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I dont think you can generalise about the SL experience. I put my toeΒ in the water as a complete ingoramus and expected nothing. Being curious and a bit OCD helped me along. After a few days it clicked and I found the world which matched my needs. Nothing fancy, just having fun. A series of test or quests to get in would have stopped me completely. This place is for art and creativity and relaxation. A small number of people here ( The Forum and in world) have made it such a delight to log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RachelWales Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm a fairly new user and found that SL has a learning curve. I'm not sure if I would dumb anything down. There are sims dedicated to the new user with helpful tutorials and people that are willing to lend a hand. If things were done in "stages" I don't think I would have realized what was possible here.

No thanks, what I heared is that it was a personal egotrip for some tutors and that the Lab had a particular bad hand in chosing those tutors... (maybe that is not entirely true but the black sheep will prevail in memory) they can at least control their own employees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote TheΒ Second Life MentorΒ group is made up of residents who have volunteered to devote part of their time to helping new Residents atΒ Welcome Areas,Β Help Islands,Β InfoHubs,Β Sandboxes, and a variety of public places. Mentors answer questions, give advice, and provide guidance. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Second_Life_Mentor http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Volunteer_Portal Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiera Clutterbuck Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 With a chance encounter out in the wild I had a mentor at the start of Second Life who showed me the ropes, and really not sure I would have stuck around without their help. But I see what ya'll are saying about a formalized approach, because when you give others authority they easily screw it all up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
