It's so nice to SEE that you've actually been trying to immerse yourself in SL Rod, so many have just said it, thank you for actually SHOWING us that you did.
Your day looks very typical to most SL newbies, except we didn't all have islands to play with! So here is the newb experience you're still missing.. money. YOUR money. Take money from your own family, (not free Lindens from the company) and sink it into your experience. Buy clothing, hair, AO, houses, furniture, trees, and decor.. and build ANYTHING you want to call your own. See how -that- affects you. See how it ties you to SL and to the community. Give back to us what we have given to LL. Spend the hours necessary to create your SL avatar, spend the mistakes of dropping a house and accidentaly ruining it, and then having to buy a new one because you didn't make sure the house you bought at first was copyable! When you really think you have it - Buy your OWN island here.. don't cheat yourself the experience by taking a free one from the company- PAY $300 a month, and see what sort of impact -that- has on you. When you've done all that.. you'll really be able to see what we, your customers, as you put it, need from you.
Much respect,
