Maybe there weren't enough restrictions so it went slowly to yiff and never came back

Basically every subscription based game besides wow was a flop

>you will never play habbo hotel themed DnD at Woodbury again.

Why second live.

get out

My friend's girlfriend apparently lives off this shit.
She makes virtual dresses and clothes and sells them for real money.
Is this thing really dead? He told me she's still making money off it.

>Second life being cool
Well, I've got a story about second life.

>Be me
>Hear about second life
>figure it could be cool
>Decide to check it out
>Go to some beach area with quite a population
>Some rapper faggot is making a lot of noise
>Retards that play the game think he's amazing, and a total hunk irl
>Deliberately start shit with him
>He tries to pull the 'I make more money than you' card
>He tries to pull the 'I get more pussy than you' card
>He tries to pull the 'my life is better than yours' card
>Start talking over him whenever he tries to speak.
>Rap poorly whenever he tries to rap.
>He starts shouting
>His dad comes in and starts shouting at him
>Hear his dad beating the shit out of him on mic
>Dying with laughter
>Moments later, there is silence.
>Ask him if his dad used his hand or his belt
>He logs off.

10/10 quality community and game

SCOOT BACK

You don't have any friends.

embarassing, clumsy, totally perplexing to most people

too*

???

Well, call it an acquaintance if you want. The story is real.

The worst thing is that virtual words as a concept is really interesting as fuck. But anytime a new one pops up, it'll always be compared to Second Life. And the autistic people that invested too much in SL already will refuse to move on to the new platform. It's kinda of like how no MMO will ever truly usurp WoW no matter how shitty it gets because people will keep flocking back to it.

Everything feels weird and floaty.
Runs like shit even on modern PCs
Infested with furries and fat old people pretending to be hot 18 year olds

Might have something to do with it literally resembles a nightmare dreamscape

Ralph pls go

...

no

>second life existing bring us videos like these

I am still waiting for anything remotely close to Second Life with a decent community.

I've been playing the spiritual successor from Gmod Tower and the devs are the most consistent and open I've ever seen, but jesus christ the community is dog shot. I mean a lot of players just transferred over so you can imagine.

I just wannah make shit and show it off, hangout and stream shit in a cozy house inbetween playing fun minigames with a community.

I can't remember the name of the 'game' but there's an ancient pre-2000s thing similar to SL but a lot more warped and fucked up
SL in it's current state reminds me of that

Charlie and Jerma are the only two people worth watching on Twitch. Charlie had a recent resurgence for a bit with GTA RP but it got old and I think he's backing off of it, even then he's always entertaining and chill as fuck.

You're never going to find a good online community ever. It never has existed and never will.

anyone have a link to that weird video showcasing things to do in SL? It had virtual hospital visits, virtual pregnancy, virtual schizophrenia simulation

>Linden Labs gives a community of people the power to build their platform in any way they see fit
>they choose not to intervene unless it's an issue that has to do with real world laws like shutting down casinos because of online gambling and cracking down on ageplayers because they don't want to be associated with pedoshit
>they leave the community to their own device
>people could have focused on using SL as a platform for education and online learning, colleges hosting virtual online classes
>businesses could have used it as an online meeting room to hold virtual conferences
>people could have done productive shit with this platform with limitless possibilities
>instead they turned it into a place where people can live out their most bizarre and depraved sexual fetishes
>the community did that shit, Linden Labs had nothing to do with it
You have to step back and wonder what it says about the human race when we take a gift with limitless potential and use it to host furry horsecock gangbangs.

Worlds

I can't think of anything better we could have done with it.

This?

The amusing thing is they managed to make the exact same mistakes with Sansar. Somehow it's even less functional than SL.

Yes, just looking at it feels like I'm gorging on Peyote

It has a ton of problems, but I like it

Because things like Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter are better for those things. 3D chatrooms are just a novelty.

Speaking of 3D chat rooms, anyone remember IMVU? I remember using that back in 2005

But there was a point where it did have all that shit. Hell I think even Korea held government meetings there or some shit. It's just change in times really.

I haven't paid attention to Sansar, but I know there's this VR virtual world thing on Steam right now. I watched a video of it and the people were still in the honeymoon period with it, everyone still enjoying the novelty of a VR virtual world thing. It's like the early days of SL before that sense of wonderment and exploration disappeared and the only people left were jaded fucktards who stand around being miserable all the time.

The rp is so fucking good tho. I have fucked and been fucked by so many people and creatures on SL. My dick has never been happier, even when I had a GF.

Tell us about your strangest sexual experience
on SL user

No other platform does ERP like SL. It's unrivaled.

>tfw never played this game in its heyday because you had to provide a form of ID to prove your age and be able to enter any area rated PG and above

>spend a shit ton of money putting together a bretty gud avatar
>avatar is way more interesting than by actual personality
>get approached by interesting avatars I'd like to fug but all of them are goddamn para RPers
>know that I'd just be a terrible disappoint to them so just tend to ignore everyone
What am I even doing here anymore.

>not just asking your mom to use her SSN

>friend on SL has a 10 year old account
>He's 22

You just didn't try correctly.

People got around that really quick. They just google a dead celebrities info. Usually Tupac or Elvis or something. I was Tupac.

I know, I was just a dumb kid back then

Its sad. Unless you have life long friends you've met in person that love videogames the second best you'll get is a discord server or a guild that falls apart in a few weeks tops. Even then everyone will start trinkling out for different games.

Ohhh man that takes me back.

>tfw getting banned instantly from the Hillary for President cafe the morning after the election for wearing a MAGA hat

Tfw I started the game in 2005

I was like 11, boy I've seen some shit

>tfw just want some platonic friends to hang out with and talk about video games and anime
>everyone I meet on SL always devolved into them wanting to fuck my boipussy

I never got into Second Life
I kind of wish I did though
I'm sure that so much ridiculous shit happened that has been lost to mists of the internet. Being in the thick of things must have been a wild ride. Also it would have been pretty easy to earn some cash by picking up modeling or scripting and making horsedicks before there was much competition

I hope in 5-10 years a VR enabled spiritual sequel manages to actually live up to it

There's always a market for better horsedicks though. I paid top dollar for my horsedick and I'd pay top dollar for a new, better horsedick. Same goes for pretty much everything.

Come to /vg/ parcel friend.

maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Onatopp/133/117/53

We won't try to fuck you, most of us anyway.

yeah, but making the best horsedick is hard
making the first horsedick is just as profitable, and way easier

It really doesn't feel any different than it did back then

The only differences I know of

>Sims don't crash if you just copy a bunch of physical objects
>Somewhat runs better
>looks better
>People not running around with guns that fling you 5 sims over (and later huds that orbited you outside of the typical ceiling of a sim, breaking your av
>People don't wear big obnoxious shields anymore

I can only imagine the worst kind of degenerates playing this thing.

That's what makes it so fun

Oh absolutely. Fun to talk to them.

Don't forget the literal autists

I fucking knew it!

>want to earn enough money to buy a house, not just rent it
>tfw the fishing game is slow as fuck and don't have anybody to talk to in order to reduce the tedium
>tfw don't care enough about Second Life to spend real life money on it

lol

Second Life was always hyped up as a media darling while the game/social online thing was always shit. When I went there all it was was random shit and the only populated places were gambling or BDSM hubs.

I hate to break it to you but regardless of what you do you are renting

Even if you buy a parcel you need to have a premium membership which has a monthly fee

Teodor go away you autist

>the sign says it's a public area
>that girl didn't mute him from the start

what.... what did I watch? was it really a public area? if so, what was her problem? if not, how did he get inside?

Esteban is funny but he's pretty old, I don't know why people keep posting him when there are newer better vid makers out there.

what are the best recent videos?

Like who?
>inb4 shortstack

A fox demoness roleplayed using magic to turn me into a pink fox maid boi. They actually bought me the necessary items in order to become what they wanted, including the mesh of the bodytype they liked, the pink fox textures, head, accessories, genitals, and a maid outfit.

I logged on for like two weeks and pretended to be under their spell as a transformed servant.

I just recently found out about The bad guys from another thread, and derrick from the bad guys.

Some good shit

Shit you're gonna summon The Nexialist

I remember looking at ads everywhere for that shit
Then I remember installing Adblock Plus

should i try this? exploring that sounds cool and probably horrifying as fuck.

Exploring is 100% free, so go ahead. There's even an item you can get called a SimHopper that will drop you in a random zone.

Second Life is a tree that keeps on giving

I don't get why people just don't turn off voice when this shit happens.

>9:50

SL is full of extremely territorial people. You could mute/derender someone with a few clicks of a button. But they would rather sit and argue because muting someone is like backing down or whatever. It's what makes everyone so trollable.

Its not. Its just Sup Forums hyperbole at its finest.

Its less that they're territorial and more that theres a lot of stupid people who don't know how to use half of the options the game allows.
