Likes and dislikes...
After two weeks of multiple connexions to SL (3 to 4 times a week or so !), I must confess that I like it, but I also dislike a certain number of things... I still feel completely overwhelmed by SL appeal though.
What I like:
- This is a whole universe to explore and some parts (I should call them "sims" now) are really creative. I've always liked exploring Irulde Realm (in Zelda game) and this makes me feel the same... Curiosity killed the cat. I should remember :)
- I can identify to my avatar and build her own style corresponding to my tastes... so I'm her, she's me... this is fun even if really confusing.
- There are so many people to encounter. I've met wonderful people already: caring, generous, interesting, friendly...
- There"s still room for creation: from graphic design to business or communities, there are so many possibilities...
- I miss a "best places of SL" guide, for this is difficult to avoid visiting uninteresting places.
- You can't visit only PG places as some "mature" places are really interesting and a "mature" rated place does not necessarily include violent ou sexual things...
- Some people may feel desinhibited in there and some may be really rude. You can be asked to have sex by an intruder right in the middle of an interesting discussion about opera with a charming vocalist. You can also be "bombed" or noise spammed while creating things quietly... I may be over sensitive but this really bothers me...
- A great number of people are "like the others"... does everybody really want to look the same, really ? On the good side of it, I can select easily who I'd wish to talk to :)
- This is so appealing that I could spend hours in there... without noticing RL is going on !
