I've played SL on and off since 2008, and recently have begun to loose interest in it. SL seems to have devolved into a Post-Apocalyptic Virtual World, to quote the article below, which seems pertinent. http://www.businessinsider.com/second-life-today-2014-7 (based on a search, this article never was discussed in these forums, oddly) It seems that SL has devolved into a bunch of people shopping or standing around in groups, or dancing endlessly in clubs to bad DJs or worse live performers. In fact, dancing to bad DJs for hours is so tiresome, that clubs have started having 'theme nights' so that you are encouraged to dress in themes to dance for hours to bad DJs. There are also small RP communities and lets not forget the prostitution trade, which seems an ironic but profitable sideline in SL. Standing Dancing Prostitution Role Play Of course there are the people creating and selling stuff to the masses who are standing or dancing around (horizontally or vertically)... and the majority of those people will be responding to this post, and not responding thoughtfully i fear. As a game, SL has little replay value and has an extremely high learning curve. SL is also a F2P game that is P2W in the sense that you can play for free, but in order to have a sucessful AV, you must pay. So, why hasn't SL died completely? Good question. Or is SL in the midst of a slow and painful decline? Opinions?
