What can I do in Second Life?
Just about every real-world activity has a Second Life counterpart, and there are many SL experiences that you can't do in RL.
Not specific enough? I adore your curiosity!
Here are some lists of things to do
(Beyond the front page when you join.)
- Destination Guide - In addition to sightseeing at each place, there are often specific activities. For example, surfing at beaches.
- Events Calendar - What's happening now. Click the All Categories dropdown.
- Torley's favorite things - A Linden Lab employee spills the goods.
- What are your favorite things to do in Second Life? - Forum thread.
Wiki pages:
- Content Creation - High-level list of stuff you can make.
- Goals of Second Life - Based on an older doc.
These are compiled from fellow Residents:
