365 Days in Second Life experiment on steemit.

in #secondlife6 years ago (edited)

Well not quite but another project I seem to be wanting to start, I signed up for second life. Why? I don't really know, I have been part fo the SL community before but I stopped because I was so busy doing other stuff, now I thought im older and maybe its a good time to get back into it.

I don't game so this is a good alternative I am guessing where it is kind of gaming, but the main question I have is can I create a sustainable steemit community on second life in 365 days?
Second life has been about for many years now, but there are other VR worlds now available, however many are dedicated to VR headsets.

I don't use a headset I prefer the comfort of my own computer. I guess you wonder why I am doing this, well I don't know if this will catch on or not but my theory is I talk to many people on discord already and would it not be nice if we could see each other virtually.

I mean sure there are plenty meets ups going on, but none close to me. I wondered who else might also have this problem and might also want to try out something like this. It is just an experiment after all, but I figured if I could set up some regular meeting place for people who are interested its worth giving it a try.

Sometimes its nice to voice chat in nice surroundings online than just looking at a chat box.

What is second life.

Second life is a online Virtual Reality community, that is available online with out the need of using VR headsets. However I understand that occulus rift supports this format also. It is free to join, you can also get premium I think $6 a month is what it costs but you do get a property with that.

Its pretty easy to set up go to secondlife.com to set up an account, the avatars are premade and you can always change them later on. Which is better when I first started a few years ago you had to make your own, which was a bit of a mess on, now it seems easier.

Second life is supported on Mac, Windows and Linux the world load is very little, I think it was 120 mb download, but I have no idea about graphics and processors.

I think I will do a walk through of what happens when you arrive.

As there are some really cool features that help you with your second life journey, but I think I found a decent meeting place in SL world called Lanville Village, which I am not sure if its new but its completely empty of people. So it could be the place to hangout and chat with each other.

Just me chilling sitting on a sofa.

So guys I will stay in Lanville Village now and if you want to join me, join up and come and meet me in Lanville. We also have mic's in there to chat to each other also, lets see where this experiment takes us in the future, SL really is as new to me as it will be for others.

Maybe you are in second life already, if you are find me. My name on SL is Padrama, I am going to see if I can change it to my steemit name, I am not sure yet if I am able to or not. It would be easier as my sole intention for SL is for steemit gatherings.

Actually I have found a you tube video which will give you a great walk through.

Anyway guys I am going to go off and wander, I will do another post in due course about setting up, but if you are interested its not that hard to work out.

See you on the other side.

My Achievements on Steemit

Sort:  

I've been in Second Life for the better part of 10 years. Hell it might be 11 years now, I dunno. Since I found Steem in August I have not spent a whole lot of time in SL, as most of what I was doing as standing in my skybox waiting for people to log in.

I like the idea of having a Steem SL presence. If enough people were interested, we could operate a small parcel of land set up however we want. Might be easiest to start with a Group and recruit members in to that, and then work on getting them all together in one location in world.

My SL name is Savvy Moyer, look me up if you like, and I will endeavor to remember to log in. LOL

ooo ooo ooo like that for now I have managed to acquire a parcel for now but its not mine, I will look you up and add you as a friend.
I need all the help I can get.

how is your expirencevon steemit till now ?

Its been a year now @moneybank27 I love it.

Create the life you want there my amazing friend and start building it outside the game. Step by step and the game might become your life. hehe :)

Those games can get addicting sometimes brother. I have a couple of games on my computer I waste time with when I am bored, but they are tricky. Hours pass in no time. lol

Thanks for your comment I am only using it for steemit meetups for those who want to meet up virtually, I have some ideas.

How about having some of the shows in a Second Life place hahaha.

I'll check it out since I was an avid The SIms player before.

Let me know if you do Maverick and I will add you as a friend and to the hub.

This seems like the perfect escape to a life of your choice. DO you get to own houses and all of that?

you can do if you go premium which I think is like $6 a month, but you also get linden dollars also for that and a bunch of other stuff. For now im just using the free account, I don't know a massive amount about it but im hoping that in time I will learn, I am looking forward to this venture, do you think you might want to be part of the group?? I am going to do a DLive on it later.

I really am considering it? I was watching the youtube tutorial you linked, besides instantly messaging someone can you also do voice with the person?

yes you can use voice but not everywhere, for instance if you went to a music club you would not be able to as there are just too many but the hub you will be able to voice. I am going to do a walk around on a dlive in a little while I can message you on discord when im live if you want??

that would be cool

I guess it had been so long ago that I had heard about SL that I had forgotten about what it was so i had to read your post about it. I think I will probably pass on the invitation at the moment, I'm still trying to master this first life I've got.
Maybe in the future I'll give it look or when I am confined to an asylum.
