I've heard of this game where you can play a "game" and you can spend and get real money in the game... my boyfriend says it's pretty decent. i might give it a try... i have a feeling it will be popular in 2007.
to explain it more...

Second Life (abbreviated to SL) is an Internet-based virtual world which came to international attention via mainstream news media in late 2006 and early 2007.[4][5] Developed by Linden Lab, a downloadable client program enables its users, called "Residents", to interact with each other through motional avatars, providing an advanced level of a social network service combined with general aspects of a metaverse. Residents can explore, meet other Residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, and buy items (virtual property) and services from one another.
Second Life is one of several virtual worlds that have been inspired by the cyberpunk literary movement, and particularly by Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash. The stated goal of Linden Lab is to create a world like the Metaverse described by Stephenson, a user-defined world of general use in which people can interact, play, do business, and otherwise communicate.[6] Second Life's virtual currency is the Linden Dollar (Linden, or L$) and is exchangeable for US Dollars in a marketplace consisting of residents, Linden Lab and real life companies.
While Second Life is sometimes referred to as a game, it does not have points, scores, winners or losers, levels, an end-strategy, or most of the other characteristics of games. In all, over four million accounts have been registered, though many are not active, and some Residents have multiple accounts. Despite its prominence, Second Life has notable competitors, including Active Worlds, There, and newcomers such as Entropia Universe, Dotsoul Cyberpark and Red Light Center. |

It's been around for a while and supposedly it's now. I just read an article about it in the paper, a lot of people that signed up for it years ago are upset with the current way things are going. You can actually buy items in the game that you can buy in real life. Such as clothes from American Apparel and Nike and electronics from Best Buy and Sony. There's actually groups of first gen gamers that are acting as terrorist groups and detonating bombs in front of popular stores and shooting up other players.
What a bunch of losers :stongue: |

and my bf said right now that the accout to sign up is fee, but i think you have to buy/recieve stuff IN the game or something weird.
and i guess there is a trance addict group on there. i don't know if it's the same one though with some members from here.
all i know and have seen were people running around, walking, dancing, etc. smeone was sitting with no clothes on a stair case and i guess there are sex shops, lol. |
