Newcomer, get the free diver suit and try it on, but add, not replace when you put it on lol! (speaking from experience) The pond in the middle gives access to the underwaterworld beauty so you can crawl out for a walk. Head northeast for passage. Well I found some kind of a racing track, managed by Blake Battle Sims Holdings group. I raced against myself. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Blake Cove/133/70/5 And then I got lost. After all I´m still a bit of a noob here :-) http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Blake Cove/97/163/6 <3 JaJa

The Sea Dome A kind friend showed me the Sea Dome at the Blake Deeps. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Blake Coast/211/167/6 I think this is a very good place to show to any newcomer. It is cozy and I seen absolutely no dangers of getting confronted with adult content. The information board on the Blake Deeps area can be helpfull. There are 4 sitting corners for small groups to just sit and talk. The tier is general and you can rez items.

I used your TP, it is lovely there! A bit dangerous as well tho....

South Annon has a do it yourself rowboat http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Annon/119/35/22 and Selidor an automated one. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Selidor/218/91/22 . Then finally, if you, like me, always have wanted to meditate on a beacon: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Athan/199/193/26 The view is Athan. <3 JaJa

The Fallen God's Arcipelagus. Sea with several islands. The owner Fallen Gods INC has headquarters and shop on the largest island Selidor. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Selidor/159/185/23 I found it thru a search on ruines and castles and it is my favorite SIM for their 3D landscapes are so amazingly beautiful! Furthermore the interiors are fantastic and the habitants seem to be very friendly. The islands can be used to rez, the tier is Moderate. My starting point was Aear. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aear/72/149/21 This is how it looks from afar: At the info-board it reads: Dear Visitor, Welcome. Enjoy the Summer evening breeze, the rich Forest's scent, the powerful or quiet Sea and all the imagination and comfort it can bring to your eyes and peace to your senses. Take a walk, listen to music or to the Sounds of nature and environment, play with time and sky environmental settings to discover which atmosphere fits you most. Hidden Treasures and secrets may be found too... I hope truly you enjoy your stay, Wishing the Time flows slow for you, Alia Baroque The Arcipelagus is a place for all. Tollerance and respect are the only things needed to be welcomed, always and however you are or want to be, and those two qualities embrace a lot of simple ways of relating to others and to the place itself. Please respect the privacy of people that might take an embrace on the shore, don't shout or grief in a way you already know is not acceptable in SL. Here the magnificent Gatetower on North Annon, seven floors to discover. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Annon/157/183/39

It is about some things I never imagined it to be. True. And concern about newbies could benefit the cause. Don't worrie bout me though there are still places-to-be(-safe) ingame I found them, some other newbies did as well. No discovery is done without effort. A ''force-info'' push before operating a tele to a non-requirement-met-area would be a nice service though ;-)

My home back then - when I started this neverending thread - was social island, set-up by system I think, place to get hooked up by abusers. By now I am very OK with my position in SL. My home's OK too now. But... the origial point of the thread was I got account banned for noob-teleporting (just clicking world-map and double click an area) anywhere. Not area banned. Without warning. Happily it turned out to be 30 minutes instead of the 1440 promised minutes.

The only ones that can truly stop a thread are the moderators and they'll only do so if things start violating the Community Standards. See my daughter betted me you wouldnt let me have the last word on my own thread, she won. I feel sort of at home here, ty.

I go on Facebook like three times a year... I am a week old here (not yet lol) but it feels like longer. I have 5 friends atm, i deleted 2. All i ''just'' met and all I trust. A difference might be I am here purely to spend my leisure time, refusing to do any kind of work at all on here, I own 5 Linden dollar since day 1 and I intend to keep it that way. I tested to be even too lazy to emerge myself into 3D building a thing. Even though I feel a bit ''pointed at my place'' I am thankful for your clear and brave response to my careless typed post last Sunday. It gave me some insights that I needed. I read it and immidiately edited the post in question. I will cherish the wonderfull contacts I made and I think all can rest assured I get the point. Tnx Chic Furthermore! (to get back on topic) If any co-noob might have read this far, meanwhile I found out that the locations-map also have an info tab that you can read before teleporting over to somewhere: -> other mouse button on the location gives a menu! Seems the location that got me banned for 30 minutes do indeed have information there saying you need some sl-age and avatar requirements for their land. Topic closed! Tnx all!

Tnx for Welcome Kidd and happily it was more fun than trouble.

Guess this became my landing thread on SL, I met another nice person in-game tonight after my 30 minutes ban. In short: it is still an amazing platform after 15 years with some reptilian interfacing spaghetti I will grow into it. Tomorrow I will add some responders on here to my friendslist if you do not mind.

LOL Callum I hope I get 1st life back coming Monday... Tnx for welcome! And Fiona, I do have a weapon! I may be a noob here but I am a veteran elsewhere. Queen-bee went free-bee-market for free-bee-gun. I just need 3 minutes to equip it ...

Yes.... As ''elder'' person I needed forum-etiquette education already a while ago, I now know I am ancient so when I think of it I ask instead of do. Ty both for ''the welcome''!

Well rollig ... before stories start circulating.... I only got telezapped twice now in the two days i am on here, one was with a 4 day limit, and this second one with a 7 days limit. So I never got back to first location after that, I am not some stubborn youngster here, come on, sl age is not all that counts. Also, the ban was actually in place only 30 minutes, not 1440 so let's close the topic. The amazing thing is: I did actually mind very much not being able to login coming 24 hours. Even though I do not see why yet, it has an addictive quality even for noobs.

I had another visit on my first day that teleported me out and told me to come after so and so many days, this one gave me a real ban, never a warning that coming back would ban me... It was one time only I tried to teleport there. Oh well, now I can!!! Should I remove my original post? And tnx for responding Jerilynn :-)

I just tried that with a location i go to more often, in general area, game told me i cannot login, I am really banned for another 1400 minutes.

A few days ago I started Second Life. Just now I teleported to a new location, a fantasy world, it threw me out giving two messages. The first: Sorry, but you must be at least 7 days old to be here. Your account is being banned until it is old enough, at which point it will be allowed inside. If you have any questions, contact an administrator. The second: You have been banned for 1440 minutes [12:01] You have been ejected from this land. Now I am in some clouds and cannot teleport anywhere. Seems this ban is not for that island but for playing Second Life at all on this account??? Can it really be this is the way a noob is treated here? I don't even know how to contact an administrator... Getting banned for trying out a publicly advertised location, where there is no saying I need to have been on SL for at least a week... No even stronger: it is advertised to ppl that are not a part of SL yet... Can someone help me out? I mean, make me understand? For now I see as only option to make another account if I want to go on exploring tonight... but this way I might get banned again real soon...
