Second Life Reviews 137

Beautiful world where dreams become reality. My dream was to a build a business and now I'm having a successful business. Highly recommend sl!

I am a retired artist. I have been on SL for a LONG time. I love creating with the various tools available. One can find textures so that any culture or style in history can be replicated. You make the items you wish to use. I used to sell mine in a store but enjoyed creating so much that I dropped the store and just make one new thing after another for the sheer pleasure of it. I also do a LOT of photography. The control of "sets" and lighting, as well as being able to create different "creatures" makes more variety than I find in shooting in real life.

5 things to do in secondlife or is like

1)Sex with pixels/escorts and the likes:Im a girl but 90 percent claiming to be one are men to add..this is 2020 be honest on your BORN sex..

2)Play skill games:Now you think your playing game of chance right? No!! somehow the law of cashgrab and scams dont apply and you'll spend thousands to millions of linden overtime against the same 10 players and their army and thier alts (ALOT)I should mention thier hundreds of bots and its possible the owners alts and bots to take you for everything ..Reports to the secondlife team..WILL BE IGORED! *In fact all will be*

5)Go to clubs to dance or any suggusted sim by secondlife first every place has music ok lol plus better to listen to your own,so why?
Also most there wont talk to you or dance wit you in short you'll be there alone and this isnt just clubs that are dead,everywhere is..
Oh that or a random teleport to them most times at a place for what you guessed it their bedroom or sex sim..not as much as a hello and what is your favorite color

Second Life is a great game to meet and make friends, sure there are some rotten people who play the game and believe that they are god's gift to the world and that the terms of service do not apply to them, but they get felt with by the report abuse function and the ability to.block those that cause you distress, customer service for me has been great as a premium member to the game o get live chat support from the customer service team p

This company will not refund your money if they terminate your service 30 days into a 365 day contract or even work with you and deduct the difference. Poor customer service skills and terrible customer retention. After 15 years of time and dedication I will never recommend this game to anyone ever again.

obviously admins and LL is unworthy of attention

I can’t get my avatar to dance or do any of the other animations they aren’t working for me so can you please figure out a way to make it easier for the avatars to like do the renovations because I can’t seem to get mine to work

I played second life for 10 years, in that 10 years i met some of the most toxic horrible people i have ever seen, Rape, sex with animals, people humiliated, I heard a man beat the hell out of his wife, when she found him cheating online, he left the mic on and beat her senseless. he came back and said she beat him and everyone believed him, but her screams stay with me today,

There are supposedly sims where you can go naked with your child.
never been but i have heard people talk.

prostitution is huge in second life, Naked avatars in G rated sims. ,
second life is one big orgy, This is a game regardless of what people say your goal is to do the most illegal messed up things you can, The more evil you are the more your liked, this platform needs to be closed down perm...
This is what you will find in sl...
White christian stupid girls are only f*c*meat, pigs, c*nts, trash, disposable devices, furniture. They need to be treated like that!
In this group white f*c*meat has NO human rights! They have to do whatever man and women of all races want!
Have fun with those f*c*ing dogs!

The game already costs too much money just to get started then they want to turn around and tax you for every little Penny you spend is bs will not be Continuing when IMVU is much cheaper. If it was tax-free it be worth it but it's not tax-free and they are asking for too much money. Well all know they make 1000$ just from the free accounts being made alone just like facebook another games and 20$ dose not get you jack S in this game, they do not give you anything for free, just getting a boy you have to spend that right off the back, and even in the game you get texted. Sorry much rather go out a buy the sims and get to do whatever I want.

second life is good because if my husband is away for a while we can come on here and it's like we are not apart. I also meet some really cool people and hang out with my friends when i'm away out of state. I just think this is the BEST thing to keep in touch and stay together.. this is the only thing I would put my money into. I thank the person who made this happen..

Very badly run on every level. Linden Labs are just a bunch of basement dwelling techs, who do not have the first idea about running a business or customer service. There is an insidious culture of bullying and Linden Labs protect the bullies and give them the power to ruin, what could be a great platform. You will spend a lot of money and get absolutly no support if you need it. As for becoming a creator, then think again, hard work and success are not rewarded here. If you do well, linden labs would rather support those who are jealous of your success. My advice would be to have no part of this platform. Do not support these people who think they can take your money and laugh in your face when you need their help. Horrible, unhealthy environment which harbours every form of devience and low life activity known to man. Nasty Nasty thing!

I played Second Life for over 7 years. In that time I lost 3 accounts, with Linden Labs keeping all of the money and inventory I had had. Two accounts were closed for complaints about harassment and scamming. Apparently I reported the wrong people and was banned as a result. The third account was lost due to billing issues. I had signed up for a Premium account during a promotion and forgotten to renew or cancel at the end of the promo. Because they no longer had billing information on file instead of returning the account to a regular one they locked it. I filed several tickets asking for resolution but never heard back.

In my opinion, Second Life is an addictive waste of time. When you do a search there seems to be lots to do but most sims are empty. You'll find hundreds of abandoned clubs, role play areas and events completely deserted. The only popular places are the shopping events where you pour in money to play the equivalent of grown up Barbie dolls, dressing your avatar and buying things you don't need. If you're there to have sex you'll find a lot of locations and any time you search anything all the ads will be for sex places but even most of these will be empty. If virtual sex doesn't appeal to you there's not much else to do. I tried to create content but the market is flooded so without contacts you won't succeed. The biggest issue I have is that since the invention of mesh, you need to lay down around $100 to get a decent basic avatar and keep it updated. Many people spend thousands. If you're not willing to spend a lot you won't get anything out of it. However this is a scam as there is a large up front processing fee to buy the game currency and a large fee to withdraw the currency. You end up shorted around $10 for a small withdrawl.

Most people I've met over the years have had accounts closed suddenly without warning. I've had friends banned for reporting on scam merchandise. I've had friends banned for supposedly stealing other people's creations even though no one had ever contacted them to complain. I've had friends banned for sexual age play even though they didn't have child avatars. I've had friends banned for asking for help blocking stalkers and harassers. I've had friends who feel they were banned for refusing virtual sexual advances from staff. There seems to be a correlation between how much money you spend and how you're treated.

On the whole I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. It's not appropriate for kids, teens or anyone of a sensitive nature. You will see animals having sex, massive sexual organs on people in ordinary places like the shopping mall, bloated sexual imagery on most sims and bombardment of sexual advertising everywhere you look. The game seems to bring out the worst in people so there are lots of rape sims, kidnap games, sexual torture sites, kiddie sex sims, incest roleplay and more along with hate speech and harassment. People feel more comfortable expressing the worst of themselves from the anonymous game.

For adults there seems little to do aside from having sex. The roleplay areas are empty and the clubs are empty. There used to be gambling casinos but those have been banned. Playing a child avatar is risky and will probably result in ban if someone is inappropriate with you (they will not be banned of course). If you use Kemono anime body you will be banned. Farming pops up now and again and quickly dies out so your investment will be wasted. Meeting people is difficult as most have dozens of alternate avatars. The number of sign ups and players Second Life says they have must be taken with a grain of salt as nearly everyone has alts and some have hundreds. Others are played by bots. Bots are used to fool you into making it seem like an area has traffic but when you arrive there won't be anyone to talk to. If you want a game with achievements and goals find something else and if you want a creative platform try deviantart or open simulator.

I like the concept, though i am bit jealous :P !

I think this will grow popularity in the coming future. Best of luck Second Life.

fitch linden extorts users for information about them, stealing their money, before destroying their account and and snubbing them out of the game if they are not wealthy or important enough to comply.

a birth certificate is required to play this game.

failure to comply will result in you being robbed by the lindens.
inability to comply will result in you being robbed by the lindens.

It's great if you're interested in watching cartoon avatars have sex and if you're into extreme perversions like furry or pedophilia. Also, you get no support from Second Life. If you create things they will purposefully destroy all that you build and then take it and sell it for themselves. Beware! You could put a lot of time and energy into something only to see it stolen and used by them.

A virtual world should be a place of freedom to create, express and experience, but Second Life's fundamental and unresolved technical flaws, insane pricing, and hostile and tyrannical staff ensure that there is no such thing as freedom there.

Want a plot of land to call your own? On top of a $72USD/year premium account you are expected to pay up to $295USD/month for a share of hardware that costs $6USD/month or less from any decent cloud computing provider. Prices for Second Life are nothing short of extortion, limited by virtual resources that ensure you cannot do anything meaningful without paying for something that doesn't actually exist.

Because what does your money really pay for? A hideous graphical experience built upon an unreliable platform that can lag or go offline at any moment without compensation. The content creation tools are pathetic, the scripting support hilariously bad; the only thing about Second Life that has ever been worth a damn were the residents, and it's been haemorrhaging those for years as they all eventually get sick of it.

Even worse, NOTHING in Second Life belongs to you. You do not own anything you create, or anything you buy with your real money, because Linden Lab's terms and conditions ensure that you have no legal right to anything, and it can all be taken away from you at any moment by vindictive staff for any reason.

The development and support staff for Second Life range from absurdly incompetent to wilfully vindictive. I attempted to complain about staff misconduct and had my accounts terminated for my trouble, losing everything I had ever created or purchased in 12 years as a paying customer.

In Second Life your time, your money mean nothing to Linden Lab; unless you are happy to pour money into their pockets without complaint, they will cast you aside in an instant. And that's before even mentioning the rampancy of pornography, gambling, hostility and trolling on an industrial scale within the platform. It is a virtual world that is effectively unmanaged, run by staff who hate each every one of their customers.

This a company and platform that is best avoided at any cost, as you will only live to regret not doing so.

I'd start with the good thing there first and that's how I talk about my experience. I was a long time user there until 2 months ago. The only reason I like and give one star because I like spending time with friends from real life and virtual world.

Linden Lab itself has very poor service and quality to take care of users even paid member like me. Parents need to take care of their kids who use Second Life since there are a lot of sex stuff and activities almost everywhere.

I myself like to spend time with friends from real life when I travel. It's a good way to keep in touch since it's not just text or voice. There are things I can do in action with them while I cannot be with them in real life.

Recently, I was scammed by other uses on the platform. After I reported right away thru my paid member section on their website, they said I cannot report???

I was told to do in game (platform / viewer) and someone would check. I have never heard anything afterthat. I was serious about money that I lost by the scammer but Second Life which managed by Linden Lab does nothing. Later, I contacted thru their website again and they said "we are afraid that your report is declined" ???

I provided all the evidences (which they already have by checking their system. Everything is recorded there since it's virtual world. Another word - transaction, activitry, chat log, IP address are there and could point out who scammer is and also how and when he scammed people.

I lost the interest there and told my real life friends who are there to meet and socialise in real life or other virtual platforms.

Linden Lab could keep sending email asking if I want to renew my membership but they never send email or contact to talk or update about my report or my loss with the scammer.

The latest issue that really upsets me is that Linden Lab does hold my account because I do not renew my membership. I did cancel before due date and even PayPal agrees with me. Why? Because Linden Lab could charge me already if I cancel membership after due date on my PayPal account.

I'd never forget what Linden Lab does to me and would never stop telling everyone about the truth.

I've been in SL 10 plus years on the same Character. I have been though alot of its changing phases and fads.
Pros: It has massive opportunity for creativity. The customization is great, no limits to what you can do. Graphics are decent. Rules seem fair. Great place to meet people. Good platform to learn different programs and experiment with them.

Cons: The community is toxic. Customer Support is only interested in helping you if you are paying a monthly subscription.There are scammers galore more then willing to get into your bank account paypal or your in game balance and help themselves to your money. The graphics are really hard on even a high end PC. There is no control over how many Avatars someone can make now. It's full of fake people and it truly brings the worst out in most people. The exposure to sex, violence, prostitution, child pornography, pornography, torture, terrorism, murder, bestiality, cruelty to animals, and other same type things is in over abundance. The rules state that some of these things are not allowed, but very little enforcement is done so these things are left un checked and happen anyways.

I currently play SL these days, but I am very paranoid about whom I converse with and whom I make friends with. I have meet some very nice people 15 to be exact over 10 years of meeting hundreds of people, who I would say are worth it. SL is not a game of levels it's more of a game of mind games and style. Sex drugs and music sell and SL is full of it. You will find the most depraved types and in abundance, if you have the patience and mental stability to filter through all those types then there are some truly nice people out there. SL is not for everyone and I would NOT recommend any parent let even an older teenager play it. SL is not a game, it was supposed to be a building platform for developers and designers, and it turned into a monster child of the internet. Least from what I've seen. If you decide to come into SL. Expect a hard learning curve, unforgiving trolls and mean people who will come at you simply because they can. If you are lucky you might meet one of few nice people and be spared a few weeks. Do your homework, read blogs and websites,look for other reviews, and be safe. The one rule for SL I would say is important is keep yourself safe.

It is a powerful tool for learning, socializing and experiencing new things in a safe virtual world. This virtual world has its own inworld currency that can be converted into and out of USD. All transactions are safe under Linden Labs aswell.
There is so much opportunity in Secondlife if you are willing to explore for it.
However support is very limited as a platform and like any user driven market, you can be scammed out of money. Fortunately Linden Labs will take all necessary action to deal with these kinds of problems.
