this is true, the copybotters are having the time of their lives, its wild west out there...

politics in Sl...fun

nop...sl players, creators and business owners in SL are pretty much unprotected...

Many people in SL use voice but their personalities are fake. They are not who they say they are in SL, be because they try to portrait someone they are not in RL...(self assured, popular, desired. beautiful ...and the list go on). Some even send heavily filtered pics and vids so...yeah....I have seen it all. The only way to know if a person is not fake is with time. "Genuine in SL" like "I am just the same in RL like in SL"..."My avatar is Me"....I dont buy that, you are not you in SL because you bring up the best in you (or what you want to reflect) and in RL we are multifaceted. I wish you the best!

I feel you! It happened to me many a time! The longest I have been away was 3 years! SL seemed like a different game...now with the mesh bodies and AFK places and so many other advancements...definitely SL has changed a lot. I would say take it slow and learn each day a bit. Go around and make a list of LMs you like (to go there often). Human interaction hasnt changed much....we are still who we are (lol) so in that sense....just IM someone that may look interesting and see what goes. I just want you to know that those "SL Blues" feeling when returning to SL is common to many of us...you are not alone!!!!

First I would make sure what is it that you are looking for, are you interested in roleplay friends or friends that would become RL? I have noticed that people IM less (maybe they are just waiting for others to IM them) and it is a good idea to be proactive. I have seen some boards (in dating agencies/adoption places) that have "looking for friends" boards...maybe that could be a good start. good luck!

I have been in sl for almost a decade. I have done so much! This plot came as an oppportunity and I really love it. The thing is...I am paying my tier and I am not doing anything with it. I cant think of ideas. It is difficult to have a club or store when I work long hours and I am free (almost) during the weekends only. I must recognize that many of my friends changed accounts, or just stopped logging in. SL is fun when you have a nice group of ppl to log in to...in part, being an introvert doesnt help much...does it? I love SL and I think it will be great to log in specially during this winter that is coming, and with all the political turmoil around...I just need to bubble up. I used to have a store for clothing templates (psd) and that was fun, but of course I am not selling much these days as you can imagine...I do not know how to make mesh and frankly, I am not very interested. A big house would be nice, but without family members it will be empty and I will end up isolating myself as I always do. Aww please do not think I am whinning! I just want a great idea to keep me busy! Love you all :)

awesomeness!

I have been playing sl for 9 years, I would love to make some friends, as many of my old friends have left or possibly made new accounts. I log in often and am interested in friendships only.

I have been in SL since 2006. The last few years have been so boring and lonely! I go out and try to meet people but seems like a BIG percentage of the population consists of bots. Since my first days I have created stuff (I have a lil store ), I had innumerable clubs, live very different lives, role played all kind of stuff...and now...sadly...I must say I dont know where or what to do. I used to spend entire nights and weekends here, and hope the workday ends so I could come and relax with my friends in sl. Is not like that anymore, friends have left, or made new accounts and there is nothing that excites me anymore and I hate it. I dont hate SL, what I hate is being so bored and lonely! I do nor want to leave SL because I love it so much... All I do is shop and go to clubs full of bots...shakes head. Hugs to all :)

Oh! I have been feeling like that for years. When I started playing in 2006 everything was a huge adventure. SL made my rl changed! (including country!). I cannot say enough how much I love(d) sl and how many changes it brought to my rl. It's been a few years that my sl got boring and lonely. I do not know how to explain this. I lived so many different lives and met so many people...the first three years were AWESOME!. After my third year things slowly changed (as they should). I remember people saying that SL was going to die because LL closed all the casinos and banks (lol) but people seriously believed that it was the end! All this brings a smile to my face because at the end...well...we are still here, however...the last couple of years have been really awfully boring and lonely to me. I go to clubs and try meeting people, only to be surrounded by thousands of bots everywhere (I dont even mind alts as i did before!), also, since the wonderful mesh arrived, SL has become more commercially oriented and there is less social interaction...what can I say. There was a time when I used to add two or three ppl a night to my friends list...today I can go months without meeting someone real to chat or role play. I do not blame SL...maybe is me...and my SL...I really dont know. SL has a warm place in my heart...and I am still here...even though I dont enjoy it nearly as much as I used to.
