April 12th, 2011

Second Life bots are handy little third party programs that you can use to automate a variety of things in the virtual world. Unlike some other online games, Linden Lab does allow the use of bots for the most part. Many SL bots are based on LibSecondLife’s code since it is open source.

Some uses for Second Life bots include but are not limited to:

The copying/cloning bots, also known as Second Life copybots, are frowned upon by Linden Lab. The reason being is because you can use a SL copybot to copy items that you don’t own without having to get the owner’s permission.

Most other bots are allowed in the game and can provide helpful assistance to you. If you’re a shop-owner the bot can help out around the store and do tasks that can be automated. Second Life bots can search for people/places/events for you. SL bots can be used as performing artists to make you money or to attract customers to your business. The possibilities are endless.

March 22nd, 2011

Today we’ll be discussing 7 ways to make money in Second Life. This does not include all the ways to make a living in the virtual world but it does cover some of the most basic methods. This is also not a list of the best Second Life Linden making methods but rather a breakdown on some of the better known ways and whether or not they are worth your time.

We’ll start from the one with the highest SL money making potential and end with the one that has the least potential

  1. Small SL Business
    Requirements: Entrepreneur skills and a lot of creativity
    Earning Potential: This ranges from low to very high incomes
    Why: People who make a good living in SL are usually business owners

  2. SL guide to becoming a successful business owner

  3. Retail Estate
    Requirements: Money to buy land
    Earning Potential: Low to high. Sometimes you may find yourself in the negative
    Why: Real Estate is risky. You’ll have to invest a lot of money and may sometimes not be able to get all your property rented out
  4. Get paid for your Skills/Talents
    Requirements: Programming, Teaching, Designing. Basically anything you’re good at
    Earning Potential: In the L$1000 range depending on your skill
    Why: People don’t generally pay much in SL unless you can find a job for a larger, established company
  5. Musician
    Requirements: Any musical Talent
    Earning Potential: About L$500 – L$2000 per performance

Are You Looking For A Second Life Copybot?

March 15th, 2011

Second Life Copybot is program that copies items without the permission of the items’ creators. This program was originally created by libsecondlife development team as an import/export or backup tool to assist in the development of AI (artificial intelligence) or NPCs (non-player characters) in the game.

The source code for the original SL Copybot was made public and it was then edited and recompiled into a program that is now used to replicate items in Second Life.

The functions/features of the SL Copybot include:

Second Life has made numerous attempts to stop the program but the creators of the Copybot have found patches to get it working again. Because of SL developers attempts to stop the program, a working Second Life Copybot can sometimes be hard to find if you don’t know where to look.

Second Life is an amazingly fun game to play where every day brings new opportunities, new adventures, and new friends. This virtual world, however, is not such a great place to be when you’re stuck at something and can’t find the solution.

Linden Lab acknowledges that it’s sometimes difficult and confusing for residents to communicate with them which only adds to the frustration. In attempt to help build a better SL experience they have revised a serious of new Second Life programs and tools for better communication.

They have released new Community Participation Guidelines that apply across all communication paths. These can be used to share ideas, give input on how to improve the SL content, economy, and experience. They’ll also be rolling out a new community platform that includes SL Blogs, SL Answers, the SL Knowledge Base, and such.

It is also extremely important to be able to communicate and connect with other Second Life residents. You can do so at a Second Life forum. This is a place where residents can gather outside of the game if they need help with anything.

At a forum, members help out each other and share content such as Second Life guides, programs, secrets, and even cheats.

a Second Life forum is the place to go for that and more!

Second Life Forum: Get Connected Today

February 10th, 2011

One February 14 (Valentine’s Day) HBO will be featuring a documentary called When Strangers Click: Five Stories from the Internet. There is a lot of excitement and anticipation in the SL world since this is the game that will be featured the documentary.

The film presents several stories about people finding love online. One of which is the Second Life story of how a talented musician met a woman at an in-world performance and how their worlds changed dramatically after this chance encounter.

While most members of Second Life may never meet anyone that will change their live that significantly, it is a game based largely around socialization so having friends is an important aspect of the game.

The film is being credited for realistically presenting the virtual world and its possibilities. Second Life does receive its share of criticism so it will be refreshing to see the game viewed in the more positive manner it deserves.

In a game that is so similar to our real word it is very important to be connected with other people. This can also be done outside the game in online chat rooms and Second Life forums. Not only is it important for you to have trustworthy friends for social reasons but knowing the right people can also mean a world of difference in terms of job opportunities, getting SL tips to help you out, and just having someone there that you can depend on.

This is not a game designed to play solo, get connected today.

Teen Second Life Tips: A Better Game Experience

February 3rd, 2011

Teen Second Life has come to a close and its Residents will be transferred to the Main Grid. Although this safe haven for teens has been closed, Second Life is making it a priority to not compromise the experiences that SL teens have access to and to ensure that that they will have an enjoyable Second Life experience while keeping them safe and secure on the Main Grid.

Second Life teens were previously limited to 100 regions in Teen SL. Now they have access to nearly 5,000 general regions. This could get a bit overwhelming for even the most involved SL user.

Another place to hang out and get help in the game is a Second Life forum. This is a helpful community where the focus is to help each other. You’ll also find SL tips, secrets, and other helpful resources to make your SL experience that best that it could possibly be.
