Avariel Falcon: Can't have this place shutting down ^_^
Avariel Falcon: Where would I log out! ^_^
Yesterday the two of us went to sleep. One just stepped to the bed leaving the keyboard and monitor. Other stayed in Blue Arrow, inn that is open 24/7 in Old Suffugium. She felt secure enough to close her eyes in an empty inn. Suffugium is safe these days and nobody would try to rob a cyborg with a gun. We both fell into dreams.
Do you care where you log out, where you leave your avatar to sleep? Do you have home to go to? Do you have some special location to vanish from second life? Or you just don't care?
interesting question even from the SL nonresident point of view.
really, do you have a bed and when first time log in, get up from the bed and go to tolet? or you just wake up in the middle of the club where you were last seen in SL parting the night before, before crashing to bed in RL?
and do you care?
Info for non-residents:
Each time you log in, you can choose if you want to appear on the spot you loggedout last time or at your home location. Home location is something you can choose but you can set it on your own ground and maybe on some public places (somebody please correct me in this one).
There is my mattres on the picture above, but being a nomad as I am, that bed does not have its permanent location. I just put it where I can squat :)
This is a question I wondered on so many times… I can still remember my 1st login, I asked a volunteer on help island if I should “need” a house… His answer was “maybe”… Now as far as SL is sucking my RL away, i don’t want one anymore… I feel already too much immersion in my SL, i need to be free to logoff where I am at that moment and go to sleep in my RL bed!
For months I was puzzled why would anybody need a house or appartment in second life. There is so much things to see and do, staying home is one of the boring possibilities. I know many people wants their luxory houses which they wish in RL (yachts, pools and heliodromes goes with that too), but I never felt second life is to fulfill my RL needs. Those tewo worlds are separated enough. I’m not gonna fall in that illusion (since I fall in many other).
What I’d like to ask now is, has SL brought some advantages in the “quality” of your RL? Are things gettin better? When I began to be so addicted to SL i just answered people who asked me why I spent so much time on SL, that “playin” SL brought “balance” in my life. I feel happy when I logoff, and I have fun things to think about and, well sweet people to remember… How much will this last? Do I really need a house to store all my SL memorabilia? Isn’t my mind a big place enough?
I don’t feel a SL house as a place to store my memorabilia (inventory is clutteres enough already). hmmm…. I’ll admit, I am thinking about getting myself a house, but I won’t do that before I find out why I would need it.
About quality of RL…. that is a topic for itself. And I started it while ago, but it is still a draft. In short, I do think there are some interesting things that second life adds to our real lives. And there are more that could be added. I think possibilities are huge.
Hey, would you like to share the rent? :P
Are you sure you can stand living with a cyborg that sometimes build exploding things?
Now, I ‘m sitting in some peacefull neighbourhood. Alone, single green spot on entire sim. And….
*sigh* I admit, I do like to alt-cam inside houses if there is nobody inside. So, building next to me is some nice, tidy and cozy home. Nice bed. I always wondered, do people actually use them?
