Second Life News & Events & Guides

We don't play games for real fame or money, we don't even play to live a second life. We do however use games to accomplish things that are impractical in life.

Not feats such as slaying monsters, but mental accomplishments such as being successful, competing and winning, and being able to evolve and grow, increase in strength and knowledge, and meet new people easily. We love the grind and respect it so long as we don't see evidence of it everywhere. These games provide an ability for us to blend in with the mainstream, to be respected and revered by other gamers for our dedication and our skill, for the tag we wear and the name above our character's, and we love being able to overcome skill barriers through immense amounts of time(Second life linden).

These games provide us with chances we would not otherwise have, without making us feel like we are escaping real life, because that is not what we want. We simply want to have fun without feeling like outcasts, and we want to cooperate and compete in a way that is fair to everyone. Skill can overcome time and time can overcome skill(Secondlife linden).
