It’s only lame and boring if you are looking for ENTERTAINMENT. For me its about economics.
I played it for a while, thought it was a bit boring, and came back for a way to make money.
Within an hour after talking to someone, I found a way to make 100 dollars a month just by pressing
any button on your keyboard for an hour. Obviously a 100 USD isnt enough to live off of, but I see
great potential as I am a programmer. Peace Vm

“I, unsurprisingly, joined a business networking group and a money making guide group, where I then asked questions to the members of said group. I asked how common it was for people to make money from the game and such, but received a poor quality of response… I don’t think they were knowledgable at all and gave me answers which made me frown…”

I don’t get it. You were in-world for about 15 minutes, joined few groups, asked couple of questions and expected that suddenly someone will tell you a secret of getting rich?

And then again:
“And if you’re interested in creating objects or something else in the game other than land or real estate, you’d have to either hire a team of graphic and 3D modellers, or learn the games scripting language and then try to find a market for it in the game.”

And what is the third option, the one you were looking for?

[...] I would go into a whole rant about why Second Life is an extremely lame and boring game but Tyler has already done a fairly good job of that. [...]

Thanks for the clearly written report. I’ve been tempted to look into SL several times in recent weeks but I really felt I couldn’t spend the time. Silly isn’t it, now that I’m retired I have no time? Something definitely wrong here ….

But I’ll let you in on a little secret … when I first read some reviews/comments on SL and the business aspects I have to admit my dirty old mind thought to myself, hey maybe I should learn the ropes there and be a virtual pimp. i laughed like anything when I read your review because it looks to me as if a lot of people already beat me to the red light district. Ya snooze, ya lose LoL.

I had a similar experience last year when I tried it.
I joined, found things a bit difficult to figure out and eventually left because there wasn’t a clear purpose.

I’m sure it’s possible to find groups that share similar interest adn chat but I think it takes more investment than just dropping into a chat room
or being given a beginners’ quest when starting an online RPG.

I’d imagine that the people that are making a lot of money in SL are people that invested a lot by being players and then moved into providing skins/models etc.

Also interesting have been stories about “griefers” introducing self replicating objects into the world which consume world resources eventually crashing servers.

Maybe you should become a SL terrorist and hold everyone to ransom..
