[Getting Immersed in Second Life]

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,

SoonSoon, Mr Humble!

My Sims still appreciate your wonderful computer gift, they use it all the time, well.. some of the poorer households just sell it immediately to gain the simeoleans- its saved them numerous times!  I'm sure you understand

That said, please save SL. Here is a hint.. if you want to win the crowd- first fix the irratating 2.0 viewers UI, it has everyone in an uproar from newbies, to oldbie content creators. Show them that you, unlike the rest, are listening, and mean business. Then, continue from there.

Welcome, and good luck!
