You can teleport yourself to a new world simply by clicking on it on a map.
You're surrounded by not only thousands of virtual worlds but also people eager to shat to you.
The sheer size of Second Life is amazing. I heartily recommend the Quick Start guide though which opens in your browser to help you get to grips with the game more easily than walking around randomly is doing it the hard way. You also learn to chat to people via a simple IM chat client although some worlds also support voice chats. To get you started, there's a mini 6-step course which allows you to master the basics like walking, sitting and yes, flying. However, after signing up, you are offered the chance to upgrade to the Premium version which gives you your own 3D house, Virtual Currency to spend and access to adult 18+ areas as long as you are over 18 of course.įrom the moment you enter the World, you'll be overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities and worlds on offer. The great thing is Second Life is that it is free to use which means you can basically wander about and chat to people as much as you want.
