    Besides sex, what are ppl into these days in Second Life?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted · Edited by PixieGirrrrl

    My favourite things to do in SL (apart from SLex):

    - shopping (trying on demos)

    - decorating my SL house 

    - going on hunts

    - meeting and catching up with friends

    - taking pics with friends

    - visiting live music venues

    - quizzes and quiz nights 

    - playing games

    - exploring new sims

    - hanging at beaches or clubs

    - flirting with excitable young noobs 

    - meeting new people and making new friends 

    - discovering new music

    - trolling groups chats (but in a playful fun self-deprecating way)

    - tweaking my avatar

    - updating my profile/picks

    - re-organising my inventory 

    - roleplaying

    I want friends but...

    in Make Friends

    Posted · Edited by PixieGirrrrl

    Another tip for people looking to build friendships in SL is shared experiences! Thinking about my closest friends in SL the things that bond us are the things we've done together, places we've been, people we know etc. Again that isn't something that happens instantly, but comes when you put in just a little time and effort to develop a relationship with someone when you think it is worthwhile. Arrange to go shopping, clubbing, to a live DJ set or to the beach, or take pics, do a quiz, play a game together...stuff like that.

    There is still no guarantee, and both parties have to be on the same page, but when it works it really does bring you closer. I have quite an established group of friends in SL so its tough for me when new people reach out as (like all of us) my time in-world is limited and they are basically competing for it against my existing friends, my boyfriend and my quality alone-time/me-time/pixie-time! 

    Still if you don't try you won't succeed. All this stuff can happen naturally of course! This info is mostly for those who have spent a bit of time in-world trying to chat to people and feel they are struggling to make connections. I hope it helps, cause SL is definitely 100% more enjoyable when you have people to share it with. 🙂

    I need some good friends

    Most people in SL seem to be introverts and will rarely message others out of the blue or drag them on wild crazy adventures.

    True to an extent! But I wouldn't let that dissuade you from trying! I identify as an introvert in RL but I love to socialize in SL. I always come armed with things to say and questions to ask (I am genuinely fascinated by people though, so always curious about what makes them tick etc).

    There are plenty of people hoping to form meaningful connections and friendships in SL, however just like in RL, there are no shortcuts or hacks to achieve this. It's all about sharing moments and building experiences together. If you put in the effort it will happen for you. I agree with the suggestion above about finding groups and sims where you can meet like-minded people who share common interests.

    Okay, this does pop up often in this forum & I agree, it seems difficult to make friends in SL but I have found that it really isn't that difficult after all, but you have to put in the effort & drop some ego.

    SL is similar to RL in this respect. The main difference is someone cant go AFK when you're talking to them in RL (although there's numbers of times I've been in conversations when I wish i could have!).

    Essentially like in RL you can't expect a friendship to just happen. You need to find and develop connections with people. My tip is, come armed with things to ask people and things to say about yourself! It won't happen with everyone, but every so often you find something in common that clicks, or a talking point that works.

    Looking to meet friends in or close to time EST zone

    I'm the exact opposite of your time zone. My AM is your PM but I'm mostly on in the AM my time which is usually about 5 PM your local time.  Shoot me an IM if you would like to chat. 🙂

    Yeah I feel like time zone is less relevant, it's more about what time of day you can log in wherever you happen to be. I'm UK, but I usually log in my afternoon or really late at night, so I got friends from all over (US, Canada, Australia, India) who I regularly get to see.

    But I'm finding there's quite a steep learning curve and would love to just hang out and chat.

    Yeah its not easy being a noob I know. I hope you stick with it though. The journey of building your avatar and learning how SL works, exploring where to go, finding where all the people are, its all part of the fun really. ❤️

    How much linden does a typical avatar cost?

    in Your Avatar

    Posted

    I think it's 7/8k + lindens for a good quality nice looking female avi and 10/12k+ lindens for a male one.

    I say this because i put together a decent looking female alt for about that much, and I also looked into building a male one and worked out that's roughly how much it would cost me.

    It is a little bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question though cause people might quote you less (if you pick up this free body, group gift head here etc) and also much much more if you want to go top of the range everything.

    Another Brit here though never been to London City and I'm not British, I'm ENGLISH as born in England as Britain not a country, just saying! :P;) 

    Sure! But England is a part of Britain. It's also a part of Europe! So identifying as English, British or European are all correct ;)

     I'm all those things! As well as one of those unfriendly mean Londoners.

    London City on SL is more like Milton Keynes, tbh, but possibly with less lag. 

    Hahahaha yes! So true!

    I'm from way oop north and I've never known a ruder, filthier, place than London itself (the City, not the SL sim).

    People who've asked me about London here in RL, I've always advised them to avoid it like the plague.

    Harsh! And only partially true ;) . Its wonderful and awful in equal measures. There's 9 million people crammed into this city, some are lovely, others less so! But anywhere with that many people is of course going to be less personable and friendly. You can't nod, smile and say hello to the hundreds of people you encounter on the way to work every morning.
