Second Life - Week 5 - "A final attempt to roleplay"

As I mentioned in my last photo blog, my roleplaying account won't let me back in for some reason which is incredibly disappointing. But not to be deterred completely for the final post, I decided I'd use my old account to visit some worlds that declare themselves to be roleplaying worlds or games of some nature, to try see if I could finally get some engagement out of this thing.

I went to a world called the Tower. It's description stated: "You find yourself in a strange place with no memory of who you are or how you got there.Your only hope in escape rests in solving a series of challenging puzzles. Can you uncover the truth before it's too late?"

It was literally a single room filled with billboards encouraging you to buy shit. No puzzles in sight.

I think this lady was as perplexed as I was. Then I realized you had to pay to actually play the game. So I teleported the hell outta there. So much for "only hope in escape rests in solving the puzzles"

Next up I went to "Dynasty of Dragons" a "role-play sim with a full and rich backstory." Sounded like my kinda thing. It's too bad, the world was literally just a black box????? WTF

I tried to fly out the top of the box, thinking maybe the world was outside it. Nope. Just the deep cold void of space.

So I decided to fall into that deep cold void and see where it took me. I thought for a second that maybe this was Dynasty of Dragons coming to greet me as I fell towards it.

But does this look like a fantasy role-play sim world rich in story to you? It's a fucking modern day city that delivered on none of its promises!

"This is your last chance Second Life!" I thought to myself and visited Havendale Village, a: "fantasy themed sim... (that) ...welcomes roleplayers to live their magical lifestyles."

The trees are floating and nobody is here. Fuck you Second Life. I'm out.
