Second Life - Fantasy Life At It's Full Potential For those who may not know : Second Life is a game. An MMO RPG(Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that has massed up a popularity level as well as user level beyond most expectations that were given to its very idea at first creation. The game brings your fantasies to life by allowing the user to explore,build, and even fly to distant worlds and lands. Full player customization's can be done with common controls and commands in the menus, from head to toe, and even from the fabric of your clothes to the texture and color of your hair. The game boomed when it was first developed with over 15 million + users signing up for second life. The popularity of the game has seemed to have taken a small decrease over time with only having an estimated 68,000 users signed in at one time.( http://kotaku.com/5052067/so-how-many-people-actually-play-second-life - link). The key problem to second life is just the user friendliness. Sad to say even I have had difficulty using the complex controls and commands given on this game.Second life is right at this moment being used for research in schools for future development classes and courses. It's also being used to make economic transactions,virtually and in everyday reality. Some are actually making a steady income on what the game has to offer. As far as potential, I believe that the potential for this game is exponential and boundless if the right users get their hands on this program. Only a few make a million dollars because only a few a way to make it flow. I believe second life will one day make future millionaires.
