Second Life is AMAZING
« on: February 22, 2015, 09:00:36 pm »
And you should hang out there with me!

Hi; my name is Sage and I'm addicted to Second Life. [Hi, Sage...]

Second Life is a free virtual reality hangout that's been around for about a decade. I recently joined because it came up this week in class as we were discussing virtual communities. I can't quite describe my excitement about it, or being able to meet another online Pagan friend in a virtual nightclub where the DJ turned into a dragon.

My name on there is sageling1. Apparently someone else had taken sageling! THE NERVE. But yeah, if you do SL you should come find me and hang out. I'm the fat bald biker chick with a crown.

Huzzah! I've been playing since Friday night and I still don't know what I'm doing. :D

Mostly I've been exploring religious spaces in SL. So far I've visited UUtopia, a Catholic church, the Mormon island, and Artemis Tavern (one of the many witchcrafty areas). Apparently there are online rituals and classes? I'm so excited.

I've never played, but a coworker of my mother's has gushed about it repeatedly. She has a store (I don't recall what she sells) that she makes quite a bit of real money from.

I'm interested in it as a potential way to meet up with other like minded religious folk and have community. I didn't think that SL would be different than, say, a chatroom - but I was completely wrong. Being there in person, virtually, even though I'm not really there there, is such a major shift. I feel like I'm gushing and I apologize. I'm sure the shiny newness will wear off eventually.

I participated in a lot of events at ... Covenstead? I think its called, for a long while. I even led a discussion table or two. I don't think its very active now though, although I agree that I thought it was really cool and a useful way to connect with other pagans and do stuff together, albeit digitally.

I joined when it first started and just found it ... clunky.  OTOH, that was ten years ago.
