Congratulations @GuliaMCRfor your enthusiasm. But I have to warn you that Second life is addictive.😜 I answered your questions but I have to note that you can buy not only using real money, you can work in sl and earn money. I'm not sure there is another platform that have that kind of economy. About the Zuck's metaverse - I think that idea of buying rl staff is not the only thing. Famous brands offering virtual goods is also a thing. I'm sorry that my english is not good enough. I hope you got my point.

I found out that decent look is attractive. My alt gets more ims than my very upgrated avi. My alt looks ordinary, no good skin, no bom, no fancy clothes But I noticed that decent look is kind of universal, because it seems most people likes it.

For realistic skin I would recommend Skinnery. For shape I can't recommand, I don't like ready made shapes.

Legacy is a great body.I'm editing my post because I just saw it's an old thread. So all I wanted to say is I'm very happy with it and don't regret buying it.

New head

I wanted to play with the glowing lights and the winter's colours. I hope you like the result.

I'm 30. I used to think that most people are 40-50, then I met a person over 70. And now I have friends who are 20-25. Which is great because it shows SL isn't dying xd. Oh, I'm active user for 2.years.I joined sl earlier but back then I was too busy with my rl.

May be you should consider that for some people 20$ are 40 in their country and the salary there is around 1000. So fir some people it is expensive. And yes, some creators work hard, no doubt for that. But there might be other point of view.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Recently I follow what's in Seraphim and I buy cheap things. I was patient and finally got this Legacy body on half price. It was hard to say goodbye to Maitreya but I need this change. I used to shop on events shiny new clothes and stuff but then see them the next week for 60L and decided that it's not worth to pay 299 each.

My last 2 photos wirh my Maitreya body. Next will be with Legacy.

I don't see Maitreya changing the body that much. But they could make some deformers. For the shoulders that everyone complain about there are very nice deformers, I use Eridita. And I'm happy with it. The reason I want to switch Maitreya is that I don't like the breast shape also the pelvis area. The legs is another thing I don't like much when playing with sliders. I really like Legacy, it's gonna be easier to switch to it.

It's Classic.

I was excited for the new Belleza body because i'm still wondering to buy or not Legacy. I did comparison with my Maitreya and there are some nice things about this body but also some imperfections for that prize...well still makes me think that I should choose Legacy. Actually the only reason I didn't take Legacy is the complexity. Belleza will be well supported, I'm sure but is it good enough? On the pics I'm wearing my shape for Maitreya and skin from Glam Affair. Added Legacy, so this is the result.

I tried the demo for Erika - it's amazing body, I hope more creators to make things for it. I checked out the Erika event, not bad things and brands that I buy from. But still not enough support.

I was considering buying Legacy perky, because I like the softness of the shape. But after you mention the deformers for Maitreya, surely I'll check them on. I use deformer for the arms, also bought physics. But I totally forgot to check out for other deformers. I really like my Maitreya, I spend too much to drop it. I was thinking how much I will spend on a new body. More than 10000, may be 20000 to get everything I have for Maitreya. So thank you all for reminding me to check on deformers. I see lots of bloggers using Legacy and Reborn. And the last sales got me surprised - I bought 2 outfits without demo them and they had no Maitreya sizes. Which was a total disappointment. I was absolutely sure they have the size because I bought from them. Anyways, no matter what, Maitreya will be around long enough and there's no need to worry.

Actually, you can use your TV with hdmi connected to your pc. I run my pc with my tv using it for monitor because I mostly watch movies on my pc.

I don't know about graphic cards, sure older won't load fast but I'll share something. My pc is 5 years old, it has Intel build in video card. I used hdd 1T. But the last year it loaded the game really slow. I asked few people about that and all I had to do is to buy a SSD and install Windows and Second life on it. And the problem is solved. I will buy other stuff for my pc of course. But this only one thing really changed my SL experience. I share it because some people may not know it. It was long ago when I first logged in but I remember that I couldn't move. When I think about it now it's like - what was that difficulty, I don't get it now. And the second impression was what should I do now? Where do I have to go? I'm sure that question is still a thing for the newcommers. Now I realize that Second life gives us the freedom that no other game can offer. That's why I love it. I tried The Sims once and I didn't like it. I hate that constantly "go there, do this" . And I'm sure after we get those mesh starter avis the new users will like it and also they might be accepted from others. Because most of the users don't like noobs. They avoid them.
