What is Teen Second Life?

November 2nd, 2008

If you’ve ever played SL, then you probably have a good idea of what Teen Second Life is. If not, you might be a little curious as to what kind of game would be called a “second life.” Sometimes it’s nice to see what life would be like if you could do cool things, like fly or own a house where you arrange the furniture. That’s where Teen Second Life comes in for anyone between 13 and 17.

The age restriction is to keep teens safe from potential online dangers as well as the adult content that can be found in Second Life. Proof of age is required, generally by registering with a valid PayPal account that can also be used to upgrade the account from the free basic. A paid account will have more features than the basic one.

Teen Second Life has a lot of the same gameplay as the regular SL with minor exceptions. All of the adult content that you’d find in the regular game has been removed from the teen version. Also the prices of in-game objects in Teen Second Life are lower than the original game because the average income of the players is different. Teens can still purchase Linden Dollars, or game money, with real money from a selection of different websites. Anything a player has in Teen Second Life will automatically be transferred with their account to Second Life when they turn 18.

Benefits of Playing Teen Second Life

September 27th, 2008

Second Life is one of the most interesting games out on the market because it even comes with its own version made especially for young people, Teen Second Life. While the real second life game can teach you a lot of good lessons about money management and how to manage your life, Teen Second Life is a little bit different. If you are a young person, then you might want to choose this game as a way to learn things and have an awful lot of fun. Here are some benefits of playing the game.

Teen Second Life teaches lessons
It is rare that you will ever find a game that will really teach some life lessons. This is one of those games, though. You get to learn about how to manage your money, manage your time, and above all of that, manage your life. These are all very important skills that you will have to have down the line. If you play this game long enough and master it enough, then you will be better at the game of life when it comes time to play that.

It is more relevant
More so than the regular Second Life game, the teen version is really relevant to what teens do in their day to day lives. Though it can be fun to pretend that you are an adult, as a teen, you really should be playing a game that deals with teen issues. That is why you should check out the teen version over the original version.
