Second life | Question Thread

[Clearoi]

Good day ladies and gents,

 

I think it would be a great idea to gather information on a Q and A thread, for people that get started in Second life.

 

Let me answer commonly asked questions:

 

 

Q; Do I need to pay for Second life?

A: No, but I recommend you to spend some, to gain the full experience.

 

Q: How much do Linden Dollar cost?

A: It varies, the currency itself moves all the time, there are so called "circuit breakers" that protect you from a currency drop or inflation of L$.

     Check out the service and currency here: https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/buy.php

 

Q: Is there free stuff?

A: Yes there is, a continent loaded with freebies!

 

Q: My clothes don't fit, I look ugly!

A: To understand oneself, is the first step to improvement. SL doesn't just have 'clothes', there are meshed bodies, clothes, appliers, omega, etc....

     It's not easy to fit in, but one day, you will understand how everything works. I am sure it's not much effort, but time and dedication.

 

Q: What's rezzing(rez)?

A: Rez in Second Life means to create or to make an object appear.

    Rezzing an object/prim can be done by dragging it from a resident's inventory or by creating a new one via the edit window.

    The term "rezzing" can also be used for waiting for a texture or object to load, such as "Everything is still rezzing." or "Your shirt is still rezzing for me."

    Taken from the movie Tron's term "de-rezz", which roughly means to dissolve in a certain way.

    Temporary (on Rez) is an object state/parameter/property that will delete the object after a set period of time.
