I'm going to reveal too much information here, but it's not going to matter because I've forgotten the passwords to the alt's account and to the email associated lol. I'm Ellie, Ellie is the SL extension of the 1st life me. However, due to a rabbit hole I fell into during my first trip to SL,(a 2-year, addicted rabbit hole), I left for a long time (yes, broken heart). When I tried to come back as Ellie, it hurt too much, and I didn't want to let anyone close enough to hurt me again, so I decided to do my own kind of role-play. I created an alt and then created a fake 1st life. I had a whole backstory for the 1st life plotted out so I could stay on track, with enough resemblances to my real life to make it easier for me to handle conversations (I'm not very good at ad-lib). I even created morphs and photo-shopped them into real pictures and created profiles outside of SL to make her seem even more real, in case anyone decided to cyber-stalk her. I used a name that was fairly common for the geographical area she was from, to make it even harder to cyber stalk her lol (but she would come up). I figured this way, I would never ever be tempted to cam again and I would only have a limited set of pictures to share - because the gig would be up. I did this as a shield for myself and it only lasted a month or so (and all that work! lol), because I am just me and I can't keep up a story long (I'm just too damn honest). I came back to Ellie and am staying there. I decided that best way to protect myself is just to keep within the boundaries I set for myself and let people know upfront what is a No-Go. They can like it or they can leave. PS, yes, this was totally dishonest and along the lines of what was done to me, which is a big part of why I couldn't keep it up - I felt too guilty when I was interacting with good, decent people.

I found a nice 1/3 sim that I fell in love with. It was listed as a rental and has a rental box. I joined the group, paid the rent for 4 weeks, and found out I couldn't do anything. I contacted the Landlord and was told that I had to purchase the land to be able to rez anything. So, the land purchase (same as a week's rent) was added to my lease, to give me another week. So, I am a little confused. Am I renting or do I own? If I choose to move on, do I sell the land or do they take it back? I've never purchased land in SL before, I've only ever rented. I do know my 512 tier is covered as a premium member - how does that count toward my rent (if it does at all?) So confused.

Obviously. Since there is such a large base, I figured it was just as easy to ask here, since I cannot log into SL for a bit. But, you know... thanks anyway.

Hi, I have a question regarding AI pets. I have a VKC cat and a VKC dog. They don't seem to interact, and I am not sure they are meant to. Does anyone know if they should? Also, I currently have an ultimate Siamese from Zooby (I've preferred it over the Curious because I don't feel like having a cat that does nothing unless I feed it lots of L). I was considering getting a zooby dog but I can't seem to find any Ultimates for sale (for the same reason I haven't upgraded to a curious cat yet) - I'm sure they dropped them to push the Curious line. I'd happily buy one from someone that has an Ultimate, if it is possible to transfer. Anyway, I know the Zooby babies and dogs are supposed to be able to interact, but do the dogs interact with each other? do the cats? Do cats and dogs interact with each other? I would love it if they did, but I can't seem to find any information anywhere about it.

I was just about to start a new thread about this same topic. When I first started in SL, so many years ago, I was online just about daily for a couple of years. But, life changed and I found myself too busy to be online much. I've been back sporadically over the years, and although I know I can't devote a lot of time to SL, I miss some aspects of it and have tried going inworld, only to find it very lonely. The old places I used to hang out are gone and it doesn't seem like too many people are interested in talking to old avies. I've even tried an alt - who got far more attention, being new - but I am partial to Ellie. She's my SL embodiment. I'm not looking for sex, sex, sex - and it seems the most people are on the sex sims. I'm looking to meet cool people ot hang out and chat with. Maybe play some cheesy or greedy. Anyhoo... that group someone mentioned above sounds cool, but because of my schedule, not sure it's possible. I'm EST and likely would be on later in teh evenings. Looking for some ideas or places to check out at least. Cheers!

I agree that the Demo option is the best bet. I have tried Maitreya and Belleza so far - will need to try more too. I think if I make the plunge I will keep my old head for now. Just curious - how felxible are the heads to make them unique? Do they adjust to the sliders too? (I can always pose this question in a new thread when the time comes). So which bodies should I try (for a more realistic look)? Thanks again!

HI Mackenzie! I'm also back after a very long hiatus - about 5 years. To be fair, I have been on and off a little in those five years, but not enough to maintain friendships. I'd love to hang out sometime if you would like I will try to remember to send a nc the next time I'm in world. Cheers!

Hi all! I've been away from SL for a long time, most of the last five years. I have popped in from time to time, enough to see the current trends, but not enough to fall in step completely. At some point I invested in Slink hands and feet and I have fallen in love with mesh. Here's where my confusion lies. I worked very hard on my system avi to achieve the body/face that I wanted. I like a natural/rl look. I am keenly interested in a mesh body because I love how much better the clothes fit on the avis I've seen. BUT, I don't want to loose my look, and I certainly don't want to look like a clone; I enjoy being unique. Is there a way I will be able to maintain my look, but with an updated mesh body? Please help! Thanks so much!
