I haven't been on SecondLife in over 10 years, just out of lack of interest in repairing my PC. Now that it's back online, I downloaded a SecondLife client viewer. I logged in, and my avatar was the way I left it, amazingly in the world I left it. Everything was restored as it was. It was running terribly, so I gave up trying to play. I uninstalled and left it for a bit. I installed again just a bit ago, and I was dropped in a default world with a default avatar.
How do I restore my items and settings? I searched the Marketplace, and it shows I have no record of purchases. What should I do so I don't have to spend money again?
