| Second Life Anyone play Second Life? I'm new to it and more than little confused... I was looking for ways to make money and was chatting with some folks there, and they said they bought a store for their business, etc. I asked them how they got so much money so fast. They said: "Well, I paid with a credit card." I figured they were talking about a fake SL credit card, but they said it was a real credit card?  I thought SL was a game. Fake money. Fake credit cards. Fake jobs. Fake businesses. Could someone please explain?...

| Second life Hi. Since no one's answered yet, I'll say what I do know about 2ndLife. You have to use real world money to buy secondlife money (linden dollars or something like that). You spend this secondlife money like you do in the real world. So yes, you will have to spend real money in order to make money in the secondlife realm. I don't know the currency conversion rate nor how you can convert your secondlife money back into real money but I know of people who have made money from secondlife. So in a sense it's not strictly an online game. Cheers |

| Right. I played it for a while, and decided that it bridged a few too many gaps between "game" and "reality". It's really great to meet and talk to people in the digital realm, but I absolutely would not spend my real USD on something inside of a game.

| Didn't you have another thread already about this, Amie? On topic: I've tried it once and found it overrated from what I had read about it.

| Hmm ... did I have another thread similar to this one? I'm not sure. I don't think so... But, maybe. My apologies if this is a duplicate.What's been said here about SL is not entirely true. I've learned, in my six days of playing, that one can make money (i.e., Linden dollars) in various ways. These include, but are not limited to, dancing in clubs, selling drugs, and something called "camping." LOL (Seriously.) And I already checked, and no, one can't get arrested for doing these things in SL.  You CAN spend real life money, though. But I wouldn't. OK, I'm off to read that link that the Lieutenant posted. The title made me laugh!

 Nothing on that site is clickable. I guess this is the sole reason that Second Life exists. LOL
