I'm currently developing this article and will probably eventually publish it to the wiki

This is a guide to the diversity of Second Life, with a particular emphasis on locations of interest to new residents. The emphasis is on non-commercial, unusual locations in Second Life, or ones of particular value to new residents (such as excellent sources of free items). To avoid excessive spam content, it should not be a comprehensive listing of every store and mall in Second Life.

To visit the listed destination, simply click the SLurl provided, or copy down the SLurl information and use the in-world Map to search out the specified region and co-ordinates.

Listing Format

  • To make this easy to skim through, descriptions should generally target to be no more than 5 words long.
  • Locations in each section should be in alphabetical order by name.
  • PG destinations should be labelled "(PG)". Destinations requiring age verification should be labelled "(AV)"
  • Example:
Hot Tamale: Hot springs (AV)
Marvin Gardens: Beautiful gardens (PG)
Park Place: Scenic cliffs

For instance, a venue offering 85 free items, 5 free activities, 5 cheap items, and 5 cheap activities, could qualify as non-commercial. Venues that comply with this rule may still be moved to the commercial section, or deleted.
