Honestly, I love Second Life. Never has there really been a game where you can just be what you want, when you want. You can create various things, customize how you look in any way, interact with the community, whether it'd be a fandom or random group of people. There is role-playing, which is probably my favorite thing about SL. A ton of sims to explore and much more. But...like all online games, they don't last forever. Which brings me to the point of the topic. Is Second Life in a good financial state right now? Is Linden Labs having bankruptcy issues? How much longer do you think Second Life will last until it's inevitable end?
As much as I'd like for the game to not die, it's end will unfortunately come at some point.
