Second Life is an interesting game that it relies on both a client and interactivity with a virtual world created on the web. Most attractive of all, the name of this game defines exactly what you will come to live with once you begin to be part of this "second life."
Beyond being a simple and straightforward game, in Second Life you will have the opportunity to meet new friends, because each one of them (like you) exists in some part of the planet although, camouflaged by means of an avatar, which theoretically must be identified with the personality or with the appearance of each one of its owners.
How to be part of this Second Life
Only two requirements are required to be part of this second life in «Second Life», one of them being the subscription of the free account and the other instead, the download of the client that will communicate with the networks of all its users .
- Go to this link to record your data.
- Later download the client and install it on your personal computer.
During the subscription of your data you will have to choose between a free account and a paid one, it is preferable to start with the first one until you gain experience, although with it you will have a large number of scenarios to visit and among them, meet different number of friends. If you decide to use the premium version (paid), you will have access to different specialized virtual environments, among which those dedicated to "adult audiences" stand out.
After choosing the type of subscription that you have made with Second Life, you will define your avatar, there are three categories for this:
- Normal people.
- Monsters and vampires.
- Group of intellectuals.
Remember that the avatar that you get to choose at this time is the one with which you will have to live a large part of this adventure, so your choice should be something that defines you and identifies you with the virtual character that you decide to use with Second Life from now on.
Each and every one of the users who start with an account in Second Life will be located on a terrain very similar to a beach, a place from which all the people who start with this virtual video game will have to start. Only all indications or signs with directional arrows must be followed, With what later it will arrive towards a circle where both men and women will be waiting to initiate an interesting talk.
To be able to move from one side to another you only have to use the arrow keys on the keyboard, being able to walk (by pressing only once) or running (by pressing the arrow key twice in a row); If you have come to admire some scenery in the distance, you cans use the little command that will help you fly, having to use the small toolbox that is located in the central and lower part of the Second Life interface.
As you play in Second Life you will adopt more and more with the handling of each of the keys that will serve you to run, walk, fly or jump. The most interesting of all is when you want to talk with another user, which, as we mentioned earlier, represents a real person who is camouflaged with his respective avatar.
The list of all the people who are around you (or very close to you) will appear in a small box at the bottom of the interface, and you must double-click on any of their names to start talking (chatting). If you want to have a better conversation with that person and know something more intimate about them, you could get to activate both the microphone and the webcam of your computer and thus, start a real conversation from this video game.
Second Life is an addictive game that many people use in their spare time to try to meet completely different people; Therefore, it is always worth being careful because we do not know if there is a person with bad intentions behind a specific avatar.
