Willow Danube Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 hi Puff, The sims are mostly empty because there a plenty of events that happening in Second Life now. Some places are not as popular as the others and most people here seemed to have something in common and so the place that identifies them a lot is where they will congregrate. If you would like to know what are the currently hot places frequented by the avatars check on your Destination guide or Search and look for the bar meter on each of the ads you see there. The more you see the bar head lights up in red, the busier the sim will be. Also you might want to have yourself age verified as well. Some places are rated in Mature and Adult so you wanna make sure that you have access to all these rated locations. As for jobs.. I'm sorry I have not worked in Second Life before other than building stuff for fun. I would suggest you to learn all the basic things like changing your clothes and hairs before talking to residents in-world in getting any jobs you preferred.

Aileen Zessinthal Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 A great place to start is a place called The Shelter. Lots of people, dancing, PG atmosphere, as well as people who are prepared to answer questions for newcomers. Also look for events, and look for DJ, dance or live music events. If you like Blues, a great club is Fogbound. If you like metal music, a great club is Industrial Dreamz. Another great club with rock, country, variety is called Muddy's. All with lots of attendees. Try visiting Lionheart community. Misty Mountains. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the easiest way to find lots of folks is to search events - look at current ones, and click the map option. If you see a lot of green dots, that's other folks at that spot. The thing is that at any one time there are between 35,000 to 58,000 people logged into Second Life (out of about a million of us, a few hundred thousand of which arte active). But there are over 35,500 'regions' - full sized maps. Each of those can have many locations in it. People tend to cluster together when being social - which means that at any given moment most of SL is vacant. Think of it like this. Its a world of people, and they live in this giant city with 1 block for every 1 of them, and most of the time its the middle of the night in about 3/4ths of he city... But the party moves. The 'green dots' are here one moment, and there the next. Once you find some friends you'll be zipping about the map like the rest of us, and sometimes wandering through vast empty space with a friend or two just to look in wonder at things people have made. Once you get used to the map - you'll notice the green dots tend to be clustered in some places very often, while other spots tends to only have 1 or 2 at a time. EDIT: Ack... got hit by a necro post ausing me to respond to something old. Hope the OP is still out there enjoying SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
