That is one of the reasons why I decided to open my house for others. I always have some kind of home in sl - and mostly I do not use all the rooms and all the prims. I often only spend an hour a day inworld - often even less. So why not let other people who cannot afford a home use my home in all the time it would be empty anyway....
It is actually fun to see who drops by or who makes themselves at home. I have not had a bad experience yet. And if someone did decide to rezz a bunch of crap there - with a few mouse clicks it would all be returned. No harm done.

And I commend you for that. I think that's great. There are so many people out there who don't want people coming by their home..putting up security orbs and making it private land, that it's nice to see someone open their house to others.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'm going to anyway.
The previous thread talked about multiple calling cards in inventory. My question is..why do we have them at all? What are they for? I know that you get them when you friend someone, but I have old ones in there from people I never see anymore. Do I need them...would it mess up my friends list if I just went and deleted all of them?
Thanks for your help...

I hope we ALL have a good sense of humor about this..
Mine...when I wear them..are leopard skin boxers. Only the highest quality polyester will do...:matte-motes-sunglasses-1:

EXCELLENT!!!
Thank you for supporting the cause....

Bravo!! That is something you don't see very often..someone having a home but letting anyone who needs a place stay there.
Here's my issue; having to work in SL (not having a premium membership or wanting to buy Lindens) to pay rent is WAY too much like RL. And as I said earlier, if my friend wasn't nice enough to charge me VERY little rent I wouldn't have my house at all.
Something to think about when asking this question.

Well...in my case, I was a wanderer for many years (have been on since 2009). I just recently got a home from a friend of mine because my sub asked for one..:matte-motes-big-grin: Before that, I lived on various sims under other friends. They either had extra land and offered me a place or I joined their family.
My home is a skybox and I rent it from my friend for a VERY reasonable price in exchange for myself or members of my family working at a club located on the ground. It is not a prerequisite for me to work to have the home, though.
I live with a number of girls (my subs and maids). If you really want more information than that, either check my profile or send me an IM inworld. None of the girls pay any kind of rent for staying there..but they are subs, so they have other responsibilities in lieu of rent. :matte-motes-big-grin:
I don't think you HAVE to own a home in SL, in fact if my girl hadn't wanted one and my friend hadn't offered it, I still wouldn't have it. It doesn't make me stay in SL, but my family has increased tremendously because of it and it gives me a place to be with them.
I hope that gives you more insight or helps you figure out what you want to know.

How about checking out some of the groups..find an interest and see if anyone out there shares it. Everyone feels like a newbie now and again in SL, especially when you're wanting to try something new. Just get out there...there's someone for everybody.
Good Luck

i dont have a premium membership either Tex .. id prolly leave too if LL imposed a user fee while keeping their current business model in place .. what i want to see is for everyone to pay a user fee in exchange for the abandonment of tier, rent & the L$ .. everyone pays the same & everyone has equal access to anyplace they want to go .. no more pretending to "own land" in exchange for money .. i dont know if you pay tier or rent or not but if you do youre subsidizing all of us who play for free .. so when i call for everyone paying a user fee it is to the advantage of those who do pay tier or rent & to the disadvantage of ppl like me .. & perhaps like you if you play entirely for free .. but i think it would be well worth the modest fee (~$15 - $20 per month) to end class distinctions & limitations on mobility w/in SL .. i recognize that it would mean that some ppl left the game but those ppl dont pay anything anyway & i think that other ppl would be attracted by a more egalitarian inworld society

Still respectfully disagree, Jeanne. If I had to pay at ALL to play SL, I would leave..which would be sad since I really enjoy the game. There are so many other RP style games that charge you to play (I think WoW is one of them). I hate to say it, but even $15-20 is too much.
I do rent a house from a friend, but the rent is SO inexpensive that it's worth it to stay. For a long time, I had no house and I was fine.
I respect your opinion, but I still think you'd lose a ton of people if you charged anything to play

Just like in RL, if a merchant is arrogant, rude, obnoxious or stupid...I go buy from someone else.
-
id also like to see evry1 pay a user fee & then eliminate private property & the L$ ..
I completely disagree with that statement. I am one of the many people that do not have a premium membership and I think that LL would lose a ton of people if we had to pay to play the game. I know I'd leave...

Hi there...
It can be easy to get "bored" in here. You come in..do the same things...talk to the same people or worse yet, they're not in.
My suggestion is to try something new. There are LOTS of different things to do in SL. A friend of mine tried so many different "kinks" that she should write a book on them...
Besides the more adult stuff..like dollies and ponygirls and puppygirls, there are Vampire sims; Old West Sims; Alien Civilizations...lots of things to explore.
Check out the forums..especially the Role Play section and see what you can find.
Good Luck!!

That is one of the neat things about the forums, I think...it gives you the opportunity to meet and get the opinions of so many other people. There are always times that people post looking for friends and someone says "IM me in world". I say I'm going to do that, but other things tend to occupy my time when I get in.
