The Economy....

Now here is the thing that spices secondlife up is that secondlife has its own economy, yes we survive on money as well, the economy runs on linden dollars to buy and sell things from clothes for your avatar to a house or renting your own sim, 1 dollar is worth 249 lindens in world which could buy you anything from a designer outfit to a weeks rental in a london sim its that surreal, now this is the other thing its also possible to make money if you are smart enough, you can get a job doing almost anything from being a estate agent to a stripper, obviously these jobs are not for everyone and trust me ive been naked on a pole before and unless you have a good grip you get into some dreadful positions, so with this in mind i set out to be a dj which at first i really enjoyed doing even though i rarely got tipped but as i got better and learned how not to mix don mcleans vincent into every track i began to realize i could make money here, so this is where my plan comes in, i want to dj my away across secondlife and in to america using my stream and my sexy voice to charm my way across the virtual world and the atlantic and play some kick ass tunes to boot, my goal is to reach 6200000 lindens which equals 24000 us dollars the estimated amount to get you started in college in the united states, will i do it? I have no idea but you know im gonna have a heck of time trying i already have 2200 ok thats only 8 bucks but its 8 more than i had yesterday, maybe it is time to get on the pole again.....

Ok A Bit Of Info......


Ok guys let me give you a tiny glimpse into what the online comunity second life is all about, second life was set up ohhhhh more than 5 years ago as a place for students to meet up online with their teachers to study and to travel realistic places to help their studies, these places are what we call sims, these sims can be based on real places or places from complete imagination, the picture above is from one of the best sims in second life and its called little London based on real life London, the two beneath it are from dinosaur park, yep real life dinosaurs and it took me ohhh about 6 seconds to go from one to the other, the realm of whats possible and whats not doesn't exist, here everything is possible, and easy as well you only need to click on a destination in the search function and you can teleport from one place to another in a blink of eye (teleportation being your way of traveling between sims). But the biggest beauty of what you will See before you in this blog is that everything in these sims was created by people in secondlife themselves, and most of whom learnt how to build from other people, you see on secondlife there is a amazing community of tools and learning abilities, and even better than all everyone wants to help, i can not tell you the amount of times i had issues with building something and some complete stranger has helped me with my problem just because they themselves used to get stuck with things in secondlife and they know what it feels like, people have never lost that sense understanding and this is what really sets secondlife apart from the rest......
