Hi all...I'm new to second life. I've heard about it before (yeah I know, real late to the party) but I decided to do some research and have found myself very interested. However~ I have no fecking clue what I'm doing. It's all so overwhelming with the amount of options you have to do in the game and I'm excited to go exploring but I'm stuck on the welcome island. I'm assuming you're there to learn the controls, how to build, chat etc....so far I've worked out how to fly, run, walk. Sit if there's a chair. I figured out how to make my avatar tall, skinny, fat...whatever. The eyes don't change, nor do any of the facial features...I'm assuming you have to buy them? But even so the net never loads the market place to add new skins or eyes. And every time I try to teleport, the game derps and says Darn...you're logged out. I don't know much about computers...so technical jargon will literally go right over my head. If you're going to explain, please use small words and be kind. I really like the idea of this "game" or virtual world...whatever you want to refer to it as...but it's depressing me because I can't work it out. Please help :(
