Go to the Destination Guide and check out the events section.  You can find everything from live music to roleplaying games.  If you go to one of the club events, there should be plenty of people to chat with.  Just make sure you have a quality look (shape, skin, hair, AO, clothes) so you don't look like a rank n00b.  I strongly encourage you to go to some of the newbie orientation classes that are available.
 
If you want some other tips, feel free to PM me.

This all sounds super-useful! Thank You!

So far I've spent a ton of time trying to get my avatar right, especially the clothes. There's a certain swagger that is very important to me even in virtual avatars. I assume that if I keep doing it for very long I will eventually start to design my own clothes, which should be a blast. Thanks again!

I like building things.  I can spend hours in a sandbox building furniture and other items.  I'm trying to learn to use GIMP (an open-source version of Photoshop) so I can learn to design clothes and other items.  I also like roleplaying.  At one point, I was the manager for an adult club.  I gave classes on how to write for the adult entertainment industry in SL. 
 
Two of my published articles are on topics related to Second Life.  I can make money by playing.

Yeah, I vaguely know a guy who makes crazy money building properties and like decorative weapons for people. I'm hesitant to ask him much about the game because I'm not exactly sure yet how private my character's actions are if someone has my name.

Someday I'm going to have a Second Life fashion empire!




NocturnalStalker -> RE: I just joined Second Life! (5/6/2011 5:28:22 PM)

But Second Life is for people who suck at their first life! 

I am not liking this downward spiral you are on, Sylvere.  I can save you, though!  Intervention!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  If you plan to spend a lot of time clubbing, make sure you get a Chimera or a dance hud.  I recommend Henmation for dance scripts.  They use motion capture animation for their dances so you'll look really good.  Don't bother with the freebie dances, they're lame.

I'm amazing at my first life, bro. That's why I want to have two of them!

Hey, it's not like I role-play on the dumbass Gor sims or in that stupid Bloodlines vampire game!

This should be the Sunshinemiss quote of the day.

Oh, yeah!  I've heard it all before, my pretty!  "Hey, it's just weed, not heroin!"  It's a gateway if you ask me!

Wait a minute, didn't you mention somewhere that you play WoW?  [8|]




NocturnalStalker -> RE: I just joined Second Life! (5/6/2011 6:04:45 PM)

Years ago!  I played it not to "play dress-up" I played it because I play video-games!

Dude...
 
You played WoW.  [sm=lame.gif]
 
STFU.




NocturnalStalker -> RE: I just joined Second Life! (5/6/2011 6:09:10 PM)

I played it because I like the prospect of hunting people down when they don't expect it and killing them in the game-world! 

I doubt many people go to your "virtual chat-room" to discuss a thought-provoking debate, Ms. Adult Industry!




SylvereApLeanan -> RE: I just joined Second Life! (5/6/2011 6:13:57 PM)

Depends on where you go.  There are chat events for philosophy, various religions and even classes for people who want to practice their foreign language skills.  You just have to know where to look, Mr. World of WarCRACK.
 
 
Talk about a gateway...




NocturnalStalker -> RE: I just joined Second Life! (5/6/2011 6:17:29 PM)

When we argue like this it gets me so hot.

But, Syl, you've already been given the quote of the day...

So as not to totally hijack - I'd like to add - a number of universities utilize Second Life for virtual classrooms for their e-education students.
best,
sunshine

ResidentSadist -> RE: I just joined Second Life! (5/6/2011 7:26:02 PM)

Second life?  I don't have a first life.  I run a business, have everhope, play Warcraft, work on the yard, take naps in the afternoon, play Rift . . . second life?  I'm still wait to have time for my first life!

Yes, including very nice, honest, heartfelt, and very interesting discussions at places like The Dominion Femdom (I enjoyed their slaves' confessions days). Discussions, as in "real life human voices" rather than sometimes lame and usually-distancing text communications like a certain place I could name (looks around and frowns). For people who are stuck in a sucky distance relationship for a while due to circumstances, you could do much worse than SL. I don't log on there much anymore, but I enjoyed my times there.

Grats to you for resisting Bloodlines! :)) I fell for that when I first went on, but I got some fun out of it. I initiated/invented something that none of the clans there had at the time. I couldn't stand the idea of being a vampire as it smacked of dominance, so I requested that I be allowed to be a blood doll for the clan and I recruited other submissive blood dolls for an ambitious dominant vampire climbing the ranks. That was pretty fun!

There are bdsm things to do on WoW, too, if you are creative, and not all of them involve Death Knights. I pickpocketed a thug in the slave pits of Sholazar Basin and got a rare working die. I gave it to my dominant at the time and he used it to determine if I got to cum that evening or not. It's interesting being a WoW slave: you spend a lot of time earning gold for your master to buy neat game mounts with or performing mindlessly boring repetitive quests, and giving him the turn-ins so he can get other cool game mounts. And sometimes, for his amusement, you are forced to run naked and dancing through a Horde city. :( Hmm, in some ways you might say it's a lot like life.

Is there a point in here? Probably. I see nothing wrong with VR, in whatever form it takes. It's just another way to meet and connect with other people (albeit a time-and-money consuming one, but if you can't control the time you spend there, you're not going to do much better at controlling it here), and, if you're very lucky, you can sometimes lure them into your real life.
