Second Life
- Thread starter Gayle
- Start date
Never heard of it before Gayle, so checked it out 
I was a little perturbed when asked for my credit card details in order to receive linden dollars to spend
Anyway, they give the option of not giving these details BUT! when I got to the bit where I am asked to d/load "second life client" I decided to back out!
Have YOU joined?

Hmm I think I'll pass on paying out real money in order to get some virtual money to live a virtual life.
I'll give it a miss if it's asking for credit card details but I do have a question...
Why would anyone want a second life?
This life is difficult enough and although your second life is virtual and allows you to do all of the things you really want to do, shouldn't we be concentrating on what we want to do in our real lives???
The way that I see it is that life is what you make of it. Nobody else is responsible for our happiness, we are responsible for our own and how we cope with the ups and downs of life.
I like my life and have had a few ups and downs but I have always bounced back from the downs as a stronger person. I think I'll give the option of a second life a miss and concentrate on the life I have now. It may not be perfect but it's real and it's mine..

I think I will just concentrate on getting my life virutally right rather than trying a virtual one!!! get my drift
I was interested enough to sign up a few weeks ago. You dont need a credit card to sign up for the free account to see what its like (although im not sure if I added my paypal account when I signed up as identification, either way you are not charged unless you buy ingame money.)
I really havnt ventured far enough to see what its like, the Linux client is.. buggy to say the least.
Have you tried signing up without a card? Im sure it says you can add one later you just dont get the bonus amount of ingame money?

It appears that you can sign up without a card but can't get on the forum without one. To have to give your card details just to get on a forum seems a bit iffy. I'll stick to AccyWeb.
I haven’t finished with my first life yet so I’m not interested in a second one, virtual at that.
In any case I can have a second life in my head if I want to. At least in my ‘head’ life not only do I have control of the life that I would lead, I could also control those that share it.
But it is always useful to read about these strange sites, so thanks Gayle.

This is the article about it I read in yesterday's Observer.
I read it, and came to the conclusion that I'm not quite as sad as I thought.

There used to be the option were you could buy a virtual bikini/swimming shorts in the Accy Web chatroom jacuzzi, not many people bothered though.
Tinks did use her virtual dosh to but some shatter proof glasses though, which came in handy, and saved people from getting virtual cuts.

We did have one shy gentleman that insisted on wearing a red rubber thong if I remember correctly

PMSL I forgot that.
I hope he didn't spend too many virtual dollars on it, as it was the wrong size.
Infact it looked more like it was meant for a lady, or to cut cheese.
Just to revive this read, I have taken up Second Life again today and it is really quite fun.
I have spent no money and yet acquired a nice suit, (and a ladies ball gown which I gave to my friend) along with a nice pair of earrings for her.
Had a nice dance in a lovely ballroom, which included lots of music too! Quite fun.
