Anyone here play Second Life?

I entered the role-playing alternative world yesterday. Never really bothered with games before, but I'm really hooked on this.

Anyone else participate?

I've played a few MMORPGs but I passed on this one. There doesn't seem to be an objective, is there?

But that's what I like about it!

Your reply made me realise why I have avoided games all these years, they're too much like hard work. Second Life is exactly that, it's a second life, but online. I have read an article on it and the prediction is that it will eventually become almost reality, like in the film Existenz.

So if there's no objective, what do you do when you log on?

What does anyone do in any of these games? There's no end to any of them.

You interact with whoever is there. You explore. You can buy and sell things. You can buy land and build a house. You can (ahem) have sex (but you have to buy a penis first).
You can set up a business. Apparently there are 20,000 people in the real world already making a lving out of trading in their Second Life.

So you have a second life that is totally immersive but strictly non-contact. Is your 1st life really so dull that your prefer the virtual one?
