Dos_Box Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 6 months then you will have heard of Second Life (http://secondlife.com). I am considering buying a EduGeek island and creating a conferance centre and meeting hall. Here we can all appear to each other and have very large meetings, or just hang out and bitch. Anyway, what do you all think?
john Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 second what???? Never heard of it (goes to hide back under his rock and pile of paperwork)
Dos_Box Posted November 21, 2006 Author Posted November 21, 2006 second what???? Never heard of it (goes to hide back under his rock and pile of paperwork) Oh......dear.......
john Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 second what???? Never heard of it (goes to hide back under his rock and pile of paperwork) Oh......dear.......Sorry, I have been very busy and living in a world of Edugeek Forums, another couple of forums I frequent, and a pile of evergrowing paperwork and forms I have though been told by a friend that I am not alone in my lack of knoledge of it, but people may know of a similar thing called http://www.there.com He assures me its a similar thing from reading the websites.
_Bat_ Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I only know what it is cos its been in the news recently that their servers were'hacked'. Never heard of it before then though.
WithoutMotive Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I'd be very interested in something like that. I've been a "Second Lifer" since June and it's a brilliant environment for conferences, etc.
eejit Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Never heard of it either. As I try to sign up it asks for a referrer, do you want to be used that the referrer, if so, what name should we use?
GrumbleDook Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I am Grumbledook Flute ... this is the second time I have looked at it as the first time most of the Clan I used to play with used it ... for about 2 weeks ... then they got bored ... back to WoW and waiting for Burning Crusades ... by then I will finally have reached Lvl 60 ...
ajbritton Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I'm something like Alex Krapowski! I've tried it a few times and it seems a bit pointless unless you want to go gambling or gaming. Might be fun to have an EduGeek zone though. Anyone who has read Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson will know exactly what second life is like. They are even trying to re-create the 'black sun'!
Jake Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 But...why Second Life, its just a graphical version of ICQ or Sims Online, blah !! WoW is far better, and as well as being able to chat , you have the added bonus that everyone could go slap some monsters or other players too
mrforgetful Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I thought you had to pay to use Second Life? It's like a really basic version of Better Than Life in Red Dwarf
ConTheITGuy Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Is anyone else struggling with the Captcha? Or is it just me Andy
Geoff Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Second Life is free unless you want to create things in game or own land. You might want to read through the Wikipedia entry for it to get an idea of what it's about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life
Jake Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Still reminds me of Sims Online...Go with WoW !! It may not be free but at least we can all go killing when we arent sitting around chatting !
Geoff Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 You can build weapons/games in second life if you wish. I wouldn't mind an edugeek WoW guild though.
GrumbleDook Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 That would mean getting us all on the same server really ... and I would miss my guild ... and I am b|_|ggered if I am going to go through creating another character again ... I already have 2 twinks (19 and 29) for battlegrounds ... I really can't be bothered to do it again.
Jake Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 On the plus side, your twinks (assuming they have uber enchants on them) will be knackered when the expansion comes out anyway
Jake Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Hehe, yup crusader is one of the enchants that wont work on twinks anymore in the expansion
NetworkGeezer Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 To any students that may be reading this: we only go on these sites in for research purposes. That's why it's OK for us to ban them for you
alonebfg Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 can i just say i have never tried wow or second life but have heard of them but i do play a little game called puzzle pirates hence the the spinning pirate to you left. i find it really good friendly and fun to play i even have my own crew on one of the oceans called midnight. i know it silly little game like tetrus and puzzle bubble and other types as well but it is fun and it i getting bigger. http://www.puzzlepirates.com/ it is java based but very well done.
