Second Life Opiniones 141

I have been on Second Life for 14 years now, and it has its positives and negatives. Sadly there are more negatives. Before we go into the positive and negatives, it is crucial to understand that Second Life at a basic level is a good idea and it was revolutionary for its time. However, it is down to bad apples within the Second Life community who ruin its reputation.

In its early years, it became a safe haven for sexual predators, and this drove many businesses away from the platform and they never returned. This had included media corporations and colleges and universities.

Positives
- Meet great people and if they are the right people, you could make new friends for life.
- Learn languages
- Learn new skills like graphic design, fashion, broadcasting, retail.
- Creating anything your imagination allows

Negatives
- There are a lot of toxic people on Second Life whether they be trolls/ griefers, politically poisonous, racist, homophobic, xenophobic. I have come across conspiracy theorists trying to groom people into their warped views of the world, and more so lately with covid-19.
- Sexual harassment is commonplace no matter what you are doing or where you are. Sometimes, if you refuse someone trying to attract you, they can turn abusive in a heartbeat. Rape is a problem on here too, and I am not sure if it is taken as seriously as it should.
- Unsolicited contact is also very common whether it be friend requests from random people who aren't on the same sim or IMs from people wanting things relating to sexual content.
- Second Life is very driven towards adult content and it is very tiring when you want nothing to do with it. Everything turns into sex at any moment, and it is as if people can't last 2 minutes without it.
- Catfishing is problematic. My best advice is to be wary of who might be behind a female avatar. There is a good chance it is controlled by a real-life male, and they can and will manipulate others for money, gifts, and control. There might also be the talk of real-life encounters with such a person, and they might present a photo that is not really of them. I have come across this before, and 9/10, the person has found a picture of an adult film star, and claim that the person in the photo is who they are.
- Scams are endemic in Second Life and they usually target shoppers within-group IMs with a dodgy link to hijack someone's account. Thankfully, most people are aware of this scam, and as soon as it appears, people will say "DO NOT CLICK THAT!".
- Fraud comes in many forms in Second Life, but I would say the most common will involve false allegations against others.

For best protection...
- Submit payment information to Linden Labs! This process requires you to send a real-life photo ID, and it is the best way to protect yourself against false accusations. It also allows you to sell L$ in exchange to a Paypal account.

I'd give this site 0 stars if I could. The game has no security whatsoever and it's to the point where people are making illegal organisation on that site.
This happened many years ago, I was in-game and a user managed to somehow find my home address and my phone number, and threatened to kill me. Never pressed any link, wasn't even active in-game but yet somehow a user managed to find my details. I know it wasn't my fault because I never spoken to anyone on the game.
This game is full of pedophiles, rapists, terrorists too. I remember there would be so many terrorist organisations on the app and were there for years, there is no moderation on that website. And hacking peoples' details are very common.

I beg of you do not play this. It's not an actual game, this app is for recluse people who are not accepted in society for reasons hence why the name is called Second Life. People are cosplaying rape and pedophilia as well there has been many cases of real life kidnapping happening here. GAME IS NOT SAFE! STAY AWAY!!!!!!

I had an deluxe account so I accrued money that I would like to convert to USD. These MF's want my social security number. No one asks for that. I don't trust them with my SS number.

I played this game for 14 years,, anyone who 5 stars this game is either ignorant completely blind is having there ass kissed by the second life players,, or is in on the rape and child abuse, here goes
I concentrated on amaretto horses and met family,
Linden labs does not ban americans even if there participating in child abuse, Dont believe me check out the neverland scandal ( which LL had known about and only acted when a reporter exposed it,, )
The men in second life are really pretty princesses they start hastle and attack you but when you strike back they run to linden labs, I built my own security system as there was men raping female avatars but the rapist complained to my landlord he could not access my land, and i was told to take it down no bans lines were allowed ,
The woman here most are desporados they will welcome the men but verbally abuse there female partners,
If your female they will kick you from nightclubs and gatherings, just because they get jealous of your guy.. A very anti christian place, your attacked just for being christian, Isis meet in this game,, to recruit people,, they know about this too, Parents of disabled children do not let your kids in here, your exposing them to danger,

Last straw i tracked the rapist down and his female companion to mainland, asked linden labs to help as they were doing this to a lot of females they refused
so before i left i put a repeat sim crasher on alot of sims on mainland and was instantly banned, Goodbye second life.

It is horrible. it was not like last time. i get ban due to the people keep report me for harrasement when i am not in the sim. plus i paid a huge amount of money and they are not happy. Plus because i want to cancel my perimum membership they kick me out and ban me fron second life. Why all the pedofile and rapist on the game and Second Life let them join the game? Then why customer service very slow and you ban people without any evidence. I was harrased in my private land non stop for 1 hour and then people keep kicking me around my sim and after i reported them they perma ban me. Plus why is most avi not rez on pc? What trash you need to space limit your house ? After a week Roblox got shut down for 2 days after i got ban from Second Life. I do not know it is Second life workers doing this dirty job to shutdown roblox. My account name is rose9991sl.

I love Second Life. I have been there for over 8 years. Started with dancing in clubs, then dancing with a modern dance company. Had fun riding horses and sailing boats. Learned how to build and texture objects. Now I am co-owner of Mountain Lion Club & Amusement Park. Live Singers and Live DJs. I love the music and the variety. Look for me inworld!

What other place can you do absolutely anything you can imagine for free? Can't complain about that. However, if you enjoy the combat sims, good luck finding an active one these days. If you find your niche here, you'll find others there to commune with. It's a social platform more than anything.

the support is non existent. i files a complanate in the middle of June. and again in august still have not gotten a response. and its about a fraud and theft issue the boot. around 50000 + L was stolen. i ended up canceling my premium acc because the little bi ya get for it is not worth the cash as well as they have stopped one of the features of the premium account. the land ownership fee is really high. and with no customer support to speak of its a joke. i would recommend blacklisting this and going with something else. Hell go with anything else o wow the BBB does not accredit Linden Labs anymore. if they do bother to remedy this lack of response i will update the review.

On my account i had to wait a freaking week only to get the gmail asking for the security question i send the anwser since 1 pm is already 7 pm and i still havent got the password reset gmail. The account name is MadelinDarkGoddess .i just can say this is the worst customer service i ever seen in a game😕. Maybe i m never gonna get my account back😭. And can't even get it by gmail cuase i don't that account gmail anymore😕

Second Life had an opportunity and it didn't work out. I used this social network/game for several years at its start. I took several years off and this year re-explored what they had to offer. The game platform is still pretty unstable, avatars don't rezz in regardless of your graphics card, frequent crashes, you need a 3rd party viewer to really use the platform. The community boards discuss mostly social issues. And general answers to questions like how do I age verify on second life? or what information does LL collect? have no results. The consumer products are inflated, so things that appear like relevant items most times go unused after purchase because no real community role play exists around the item. It is a great platform for those who enjoy cartoon photography and video game pornos. These were the happiest people I met there. Most roleplayers I knew on this grid left for F-List and other sites.

Secondlife is a great virtual world. I met great people and learned a lot on 3D creation.
Sure, there are many things that could be improved, but that is true for everything!
I bet that the haters who rated it "poor" didn't ever log in...

I am one of the many it seems that was banned for "breaking rules" (age play) but I know I am innocent of this. My complaint has fallen on deaf ears and no reason given. This is after 15 years in SL. No reasons no evidence! What are they doing and why??

In Second Life there are bad people just like everywhere else what makes it so bad is if you are victimized instead of helping you. They help your attacker by immediately closing your account you have no way to defend yourself. any plea falls on deaf ears and red tape. they send you.....
The evidence shows that you have severely or repeatedly violated the Second Life Terms of Service or Community Standards, and therefore your account and any alternate Second Life accounts are now permanently inaccessible....... ok like what was it was it severely or was it repeatedly???? like why cant they tell you what you did?????? OH i get it it was my fault i got jumped for sex and said NOOO.....so my attacker filed a complaint and instantly got my account closed and locked out before i could file a complaint.....This speed seems a little suspicious to me, i am thinking only a Second Life employee can have access to closing and blocking an account that fast.........so wait a minute......Was it a Second Life employee that sexually assaulted my child avatar then had my account closed? and now they refuse to tell me what i did wrong. i think they should change the name from Second Life to Sexofender Life

Hi. I have been playing second life and have some good friends in it. but there are LOTS of bad people in there to. My avatar is a girl in a boarding school (you can actually learn things) and you can be a brat to, like break in to a safe to get items. I started a fire in the kitchen and caught fire my self so i had to run out and jump in the pool. after that i had to try to explain to a rollplaying policewoman that it wasn't my fault....i was happy she seemed to roleplay believe it, but then asked me about the stolen car with the gun in it outside....so this was fun.........UNTIL i was looking to get adopted and when i was taken to the person's house where i was sexually assaulted. This is not only a violation but it is illegal for that person to sexually assault a minor. i took all the evidence i could including screenshots so i could go back to the SIM and report this and have evidence but before i could SL closed and ip banned my account for violations they have refused to tell me. And i never received any prior warning of any miss conduct or violations. So it is my opinion that after taking my money (being a paying client) they dont have the decency to warn about anything. All i have experienced is I got kicked off and ip banned for saying no and being sexually assaulted. What a way to protect your company. I bet that person is still there. Maybe that person works for the company? and that is why my account was closed so fast and they wont give me a straight answer for banning me. Like they say "dead men tell no tails" But guess what, I am going to be informing people about sexual assault and Second Lifes abusive action of clients for a long time. Dont play Second Life .....They took my money and closed my account.

An absolute pedos playground, how this game is allowed is beyond me.

Stay clear!!!!

My experience with Second Life has been positive. You don't have to spend a fortune on anything. My avatar is made up of entirely free items including mesh body and head, skin, hair, eyes, makeups, My own shape, etc. All my clothes are freebies and store gifts, and gifts from events, freebies from hunts, etc. You can pick up some really nice, good quality items for free. Also saying that Second Life only consists of sex and loneliness... well that really depends on how much you explore, as there are lots and lots of locations to explore that have absolutely nothing to do with sex! If you take time to look around, you can discover some really cool places. The location and events guides in the official website are really useful, especially if you are new, but even if you have been in SL for a long time, as new places and events are regularly added. Some events also support a lot of registered charitable organisations such as well known cancer charities, and organisations raising funds for victims of world disasters.
There is also lots of educational stuff in SL, especially space related, and probably a lot more I have yet to discover!
Creativity is huge in Second Life too. I notice that many of the more negative reviews haven't focused so much on this. Building for example, and scripting. Learning how to do these things is a lot of fun, and there are plenty of resources available, including the official SL wiki pages and many tutorials online. Building is a lot of fun and you can sell your own original items on the Second Life Marketplace. A lot of people also run their own businesses in SL such as clothing and homeware and furniture stores. I just visited a really cool boat store today and visited a harbour.
Like ANY online platform, there is always a mixed bag of people. You can come across all sorts of people anywhere online. In Second Life you can block people the same as on other sites, and it's common sense not to share real life info with people you don't know online. Obviously people can take on personas in Second Life, so they often may not be in real life, who they are in Second Life. Being mindful and using common sense is really key. I usually ignore random messages and block if I feel they are being rude or behaving weird. You can also report unacceptable behaviour. I've always had a good experience with regards to Second Life support, and they usually reply in good time.
I've never experienced a Linden staff member trolling me and I've never seen it happen either in 13 years of being regularly in Second Life. Someone mentioned this in another review. It's not something I have ever come across or witnessed myself though.
As for people keeping themselves to themselves...well many people are in SL just to chill and do their own thing, be that building, photography, exploring or whatever. Not everyone is going to want to be friends, and actually you don't need loads of friends in-world to enjoy it. I've made some cool friends over the years, but also people come and go a lot. Some dissapear never to return, or they return after a long time away. That's just how it is though. People have their real lives going on that take priority over Second Life. You also have to remember and respect that people are in Second Life for themselves and not for you.
If it's not for you, that's ok, but there is so much to do and explore in Second Life.
My personal view is that it's for grown ups. It's not difficult to accidentally find more 'adult' things, even when not actively seeking them out. There are a lot of adult places thar do tend pop up in search results, even if you are searching for something like a pub or just a clothing store for mesh clothing, for example. However, if you have your settings set so that adult content is unchecked, then you are a lot less likely to see it, as it will be filtered out. That said, if I had children, I wouldn't allow them on under the age of 18, as some of the adult content is very adult, and even with adult content filtered out, there is still the chance they might stumble across something very adult, infact it has happened to me. I'm an older person and so ignored it and moved on, but it might not really be what you would want your teenage son or daughter to see.

Has devolved into a platform to indulge any depravity one can think of. Customer service is a joke -- even for Premium customers. Many of the Linden Lab associates and partners grief and harass customers, pick out all the best land and parcels for themselves, and operate thousands of alts on the grid. You should understand this: If you're being griefed or otherwise harassed, it may very well be the alts of a Linden Lab employee, LPWD, or viewer developer. TOS is structured to protect bad behavior, and usurp accountability. The parcel security rules in the newer communities are designed to allow griefers to harass with impunity -- 15 secs at a time. If you immediately eject a griefer YOU will be banned. Shockingly, unfiltered harassment in the form of racist images and stereotypically offensive avatars is not only tolerated, multiple complaints to Linden Labs will go completely ignored. The only question is, do they ignore it because the culprits are among their ranks, or do they simply not care? Perhaps the changes to the B of D will have positive impact. As things stand, anyone wondering in for the first time will quickly find it to offer little beyond empty sims, deviant sex, a multitude of alts, nonsensical rules, useless TOS, and an apathetic staff who regards you as a nuisance.

Second life is literally crap,It's full of prostitution,ageplay,pedophiles,stalkers,hackers,
catfish etc.also the staff does not care what anyone is doing or if they are doing horrible things,try reporting ageplay etc and they will ban you from second life and make you lose everything.IMVU is much better then second life and also out ranked second life.give it a go,you can find realistic mesh heads,skins,better clothes then second life,better looking rooms and outdoor rooms,and you dont have to pay rent for your own space.

Well my experience was never good on this platform. I always found it to be laggy regardless what kind of system I ran it on. Trolls are quick to tell you, you have a weak system yadda yadda, and that you need a new pc every year in order to play. Well thanks, but no thanks... there are plenty of well made Virtual Worlds with nice graphics that run lag free compared to SL, and I would rather spend my money on RL entertainment, objects than a bunch of pixelated crap that may all disappear one day, and I also prefer to spend time with good quality people that SL seems to lack. I also find it interesting that several users have had their graphic cards fried because they left SL on overnight, and that SL has deleted any posts regarding this matter on the forums when users have made several complaints. Sounds real shady to me...
But, hey if you like badly run scripts, lag, replacing your video card often and creepy socially awkward people... by all means play SL.

also ich kann second life nicht empfehlen, hatte dort zuerst mein account, habe aber feststellen müssen das alles sehr langsam ist und auch sehr viel lag auf den meisten sim ist und alles kostet viel geld
bin nun bei OpenSimWorldist wie second life nur schneller und weiger lag, und vor allem kostenlos
