Second Life Reviews 137

The prices are often too high for pieces who are not worth the money. The lady who works there treats you in a rude way if you don’t buy anything, but when you buy something she’s nice. She even tell you 30 minutes before the closure of the shop that you can’t come in because it’s closed. If this shop had another employee it would work way more. Maybe someone younger and nicer?

Please use all remedies to ban Second Life. The administrators abused without any reason. They blocked the accounts of many players over 10-12 years old in this game and embezzled all their money in this fraudulent way. How long can you tolerate the Second Life theft from Linden Lab?

I was on it 12 years...It used to be wonderful. I cherish the friends etc I made. I decided to go premium 3 weeks ago, and all of the sudden I get banned(yesterday). Age play they say... I NEVER had a child avi, EVER. I am very childlike in personality but I am 39 years old RL! I made that clear on my 1st tab rl info there. They terminated me without any warning, stole my lindens(close to 20 000L), and my money from premium membership. I tried to have a civilized conversation with them, but they refused to be cooperative all the while stealing my money. I filed a dispute on paypal to get refunded for the premium membership thing...A partial refund for the remaining 11 months I was entitled to. They are thieves who play the "morality" game, but have no issue taking money that belonged to me. Apparently, I cannot have my fetishes, my own desires which were 100% consenting between 2 adults RL. I cannot be ME. This is wrong on so many levels! I strongly advise against playing SL, especially spending any money. Don't give them a dime! 0 stars if it wasn't for the good friends I had there.

I also got ban in the game for no reason. Bad customer service. Someone and somehow people info got exposed. Got crazy admin keep harrasing people on and off. If this game get bad reviews it need to be shut down. The people who control the game are not smart enough like imvu.

Second Life is a nice world where to hang out but sadly support is bad, I had a misunderstanding with someone and they deleted my account, I ask them for an agreement but they continuing for all the times to send me the same message like I was a idiot that can't read it, so, is a funny way to pass time but if you spend money be sure to don't wrong anything and break the rules cause they will not give you second chances, and they treat you like s**t if you try to make them understand what's happen, that's all, and that's why I gave them just 1 star sadly. They have to hear their users MORE and not just treat them like id**ts and show some HEART sometimes!

Nearly from beginning in Secondlife, old SL Mentor and and, arbitrary they decide to change password of my account and my alt but also all accounts that logged from same machines and here is many as often I use my cybercafe computer. As I told account is very old, mail is not valid and I even not remember questions, but page won't load, even to try to reset pass or to check mail, THIEVES! I have spend many in here!!!!

Horrible game, Stole my 175$ right out of my bank account. Refuses to give it back. I have played SL for 7 years and I do not intend to play any longer. Took me 3 years to get my rental popular and now it's all for nothing. These people are crooks.

SECOND LIFE STEALS YOUR MONEY AND BAN YOU WITHOUT REASON (BANS EVERY SINGLE ACCOUNT IN THE HOUSEHOLD EVEN IF YOUR SHARED PC IS BEING USED FOR SECOND LIFE WITH OTHER PEOPLE) WHICH MEANS EVEN INOCCENT PEOPLES ACCOUNT IS BEING BANNED PERM!. SECOND LIFE SHOULD BE SUED AND SHUT DOWN!

I have been on Second Life for 14 years now, and it has its positives and negatives. Sadly there are more negatives. Before we go into the positive and negatives, it is crucial to understand that Second Life at a basic level is a good idea and it was revolutionary for its time. However, it is down to bad apples within the Second Life community who ruin its reputation.

In its early years, it became a safe haven for sexual predators, and this drove many businesses away from the platform and they never returned. This had included media corporations and colleges and universities.

Positives
- Meet great people and if they are the right people, you could make new friends for life.
- Learn languages
- Learn new skills like graphic design, fashion, broadcasting, retail.
- Creating anything your imagination allows

Negatives
- There are a lot of toxic people on Second Life whether they be trolls/ griefers, politically poisonous, racist, homophobic, xenophobic. I have come across conspiracy theorists trying to groom people into their warped views of the world, and more so lately with covid-19.
- Sexual harassment is commonplace no matter what you are doing or where you are. Sometimes, if you refuse someone trying to attract you, they can turn abusive in a heartbeat. Rape is a problem on here too, and I am not sure if it is taken as seriously as it should.
- Unsolicited contact is also very common whether it be friend requests from random people who aren't on the same sim or IMs from people wanting things relating to sexual content.
- Second Life is very driven towards adult content and it is very tiring when you want nothing to do with it. Everything turns into sex at any moment, and it is as if people can't last 2 minutes without it.
- Catfishing is problematic. My best advice is to be wary of who might be behind a female avatar. There is a good chance it is controlled by a real-life male, and they can and will manipulate others for money, gifts, and control. There might also be the talk of real-life encounters with such a person, and they might present a photo that is not really of them. I have come across this before, and 9/10, the person has found a picture of an adult film star, and claim that the person in the photo is who they are.
- Scams are endemic in Second Life and they usually target shoppers within-group IMs with a dodgy link to hijack someone's account. Thankfully, most people are aware of this scam, and as soon as it appears, people will say "DO NOT CLICK THAT!".
- Fraud comes in many forms in Second Life, but I would say the most common will involve false allegations against others.

For best protection...
- Submit payment information to Linden Labs! This process requires you to send a real-life photo ID, and it is the best way to protect yourself against false accusations. It also allows you to sell L$ in exchange to a Paypal account.

I'd give this site 0 stars if I could. The game has no security whatsoever and it's to the point where people are making illegal organisation on that site.
This happened many years ago, I was in-game and a user managed to somehow find my home address and my phone number, and threatened to kill me. Never pressed any link, wasn't even active in-game but yet somehow a user managed to find my details. I know it wasn't my fault because I never spoken to anyone on the game.
This game is full of pedophiles, rapists, terrorists too. I remember there would be so many terrorist organisations on the app and were there for years, there is no moderation on that website. And hacking peoples' details are very common.

I beg of you do not play this. It's not an actual game, this app is for recluse people who are not accepted in society for reasons hence why the name is called Second Life. People are cosplaying rape and pedophilia as well there has been many cases of real life kidnapping happening here. GAME IS NOT SAFE! STAY AWAY!!!!!!

I had an deluxe account so I accrued money that I would like to convert to USD. These MF's want my social security number. No one asks for that. I don't trust them with my SS number.

I played this game for 14 years,, anyone who 5 stars this game is either ignorant completely blind is having there ass kissed by the second life players,, or is in on the rape and child abuse, here goes
I concentrated on amaretto horses and met family,
Linden labs does not ban americans even if there participating in child abuse, Dont believe me check out the neverland scandal ( which LL had known about and only acted when a reporter exposed it,, )
The men in second life are really pretty princesses they start hastle and attack you but when you strike back they run to linden labs, I built my own security system as there was men raping female avatars but the rapist complained to my landlord he could not access my land, and i was told to take it down no bans lines were allowed ,
The woman here most are desporados they will welcome the men but verbally abuse there female partners,
If your female they will kick you from nightclubs and gatherings, just because they get jealous of your guy.. A very anti christian place, your attacked just for being christian, Isis meet in this game,, to recruit people,, they know about this too, Parents of disabled children do not let your kids in here, your exposing them to danger,

Last straw i tracked the rapist down and his female companion to mainland, asked linden labs to help as they were doing this to a lot of females they refused
so before i left i put a repeat sim crasher on alot of sims on mainland and was instantly banned, Goodbye second life.

It is horrible. it was not like last time. i get ban due to the people keep report me for harrasement when i am not in the sim. plus i paid a huge amount of money and they are not happy. Plus because i want to cancel my perimum membership they kick me out and ban me fron second life. Why all the pedofile and rapist on the game and Second Life let them join the game? Then why customer service very slow and you ban people without any evidence. I was harrased in my private land non stop for 1 hour and then people keep kicking me around my sim and after i reported them they perma ban me. Plus why is most avi not rez on pc? What trash you need to space limit your house ? After a week Roblox got shut down for 2 days after i got ban from Second Life. I do not know it is Second life workers doing this dirty job to shutdown roblox. My account name is rose9991sl.

I love Second Life. I have been there for over 8 years. Started with dancing in clubs, then dancing with a modern dance company. Had fun riding horses and sailing boats. Learned how to build and texture objects. Now I am co-owner of Mountain Lion Club & Amusement Park. Live Singers and Live DJs. I love the music and the variety. Look for me inworld!

What other place can you do absolutely anything you can imagine for free? Can't complain about that. However, if you enjoy the combat sims, good luck finding an active one these days. If you find your niche here, you'll find others there to commune with. It's a social platform more than anything.

the support is non existent. i files a complanate in the middle of June. and again in august still have not gotten a response. and its about a fraud and theft issue the boot. around 50000 + L was stolen. i ended up canceling my premium acc because the little bi ya get for it is not worth the cash as well as they have stopped one of the features of the premium account. the land ownership fee is really high. and with no customer support to speak of its a joke. i would recommend blacklisting this and going with something else. Hell go with anything else o wow the BBB does not accredit Linden Labs anymore. if they do bother to remedy this lack of response i will update the review.

On my account i had to wait a freaking week only to get the gmail asking for the security question i send the anwser since 1 pm is already 7 pm and i still havent got the password reset gmail. The account name is MadelinDarkGoddess .i just can say this is the worst customer service i ever seen in a game😕. Maybe i m never gonna get my account back😭. And can't even get it by gmail cuase i don't that account gmail anymore😕

Second Life had an opportunity and it didn't work out. I used this social network/game for several years at its start. I took several years off and this year re-explored what they had to offer. The game platform is still pretty unstable, avatars don't rezz in regardless of your graphics card, frequent crashes, you need a 3rd party viewer to really use the platform. The community boards discuss mostly social issues. And general answers to questions like how do I age verify on second life? or what information does LL collect? have no results. The consumer products are inflated, so things that appear like relevant items most times go unused after purchase because no real community role play exists around the item. It is a great platform for those who enjoy cartoon photography and video game pornos. These were the happiest people I met there. Most roleplayers I knew on this grid left for F-List and other sites.

Secondlife is a great virtual world. I met great people and learned a lot on 3D creation.
Sure, there are many things that could be improved, but that is true for everything!
I bet that the haters who rated it "poor" didn't ever log in...

I am one of the many it seems that was banned for "breaking rules" (age play) but I know I am innocent of this. My complaint has fallen on deaf ears and no reason given. This is after 15 years in SL. No reasons no evidence! What are they doing and why??
