For some reason the crappy furry video chat game called Second Life is still a thing that still exists and I got to wonder. There's probably some folks that have lived drat near half their adult lives just playing Second Life and some of them are probably rich as gently caress in the game. Like there's probably some top 1%ers of Second Life feeling superior to everybody and looking down on all the poors flying around. Gotta be really fun being super rich in a video chat game.

Being rich in Second Life means you are rich in real life since you can directly convert the in-game currency into USD and vice versa. There's a guy who used to be a plumber in real life who became an actual real life millionaire by making and selling sex animations in-game.

I knew a weird furry guy who did the same by selling tricked out animal genitals that you could wear and they had buttons you could push to make them spray cum etc well I don't think he was a millionaire but he def made bank also I knew some guys who heisted this virtual bank and made off with some stuff

Second Life has around ten times as many people logged in at any one time as somethingawful does right now. Despite it being a million years old.

You can turn the sun on and off all day long if you want. That's what it's like to be rich in Second Life.

I once made a thread back in probably 2011 or 2012, all about lovely tv-isms with regards to video games (like that Prince of Persia sequence in "Life"  ) but I can't find it.Anyway, I remember the thread title involving turning the sun on and off.

i think if you're super rich in second life you're actually just rich, you can take your money out and put in there pretty easily

I used to clean a small police station at night and one of the lady dispatchers would be having virtual on second life most of her shift. Thankfully it was the dayshift that had to mop that room.Blue Raider posted:there was a goon island called w-hat that gave out costumes that made you llook like a giant spider That summarizes my second life experiences.

Less, since Second Life is just random weirdness while EVE Online is a real, living space-opera that shows the side to interstellar warfare most sci-fi shows / movies don't: that it's boring as gently caress 95% of the time.

I vaguely remember that being around 2005-2006 all those guys that ran that place still hang out on Skype I think, maybe they've finally upgraded to discord at this point I kind of just helped and used it as a base to grief out of one of my bans from this very forum was simply for posting about a griefing exploit I did, because it was so offensive... I also got put into some virtual newspaper and branded a virtual terrorist, and linden labs tried to sue me.

soy posted:yep, more I think.. I vaguely remember that being around 2005-2006 We had some good times :v I discovered SL 12 years ago, on these very forums. I really liked it, spent like 20 hours a day playing that poo poo and learned that I had a penchant for creating fun & dramatic situations. I registered January '05, by the middle of the year I was permanently banned from the game and had to use various tricks to get back in, by the end of that year I was getting celebrated for my work: http://alphavilleherald.com/2005/12/avatar_of_the_y-4.html I went on to do some pretty revolutionary things: https://www.engadget.com/2006/12/20/second-life-millionaire-plagued-with-peckers/ My shenanigans resulted in a perma ban from this forum, the reversal of it, and ultimately the discussion of SL was banned entirely from the SA forums. I was briefly filthy rich in SL, as I had discovered an exploit to take money from anyone, including nonexistent players, which allowed me to generate infinite money: http://sapinski.com/2007/08/23/philip-linden-wow-that-is-a-really-big-problem/ I also released loads of 'illegal' over-sized objects in Second Life which has resulted in me being listed as the 'creator' on a decent chunk of SL's content: https://web.archive.org/web/20091107210710/http://www.secondlifeinsider.com/2007/08/22/plastic-duck-our-hero-a-case-for-megaprims/ At the end of '06 I was interviewed by Tim Guest and featured as an antagonist in his book Second Lives: https://www.amazon.com/Second-Lives-Journey-Through-Virtual/dp/1400065356 Apparently David Fincher scored the rights to the screenplay, and almost made a movie starring Brad Pitt and Sacha Baron Cohen: http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2010/07/new-world-cinema-social-network.html It was a lot of fun, I ended up getting a job in game dev at 19 out of it which allowed me to skip the whole college thing and landed me some pretty sweet jobs. k\o\w fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Oct 24, 2017 |

There's a dude I know making maybe 200k USD from virtual clothing. There's a handful of goons left in game. You can find them here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Baku/109/221/52

No surprise that a game in which there is really nothing to do but grief/sperg that goons would have taken it a bit overboard.

Hanging out with goons in w-hat was probably one of the best online experiences I've had. So many funny, creative, and colourful people. I made a little bit of money selling crap on the slexchange, but I got banned before I could exchange any of it for real bux. When so many people take Second Life so literally, you can't help but make fun of them.
