Linden Lab occasionally restricts access to Second Life when its servers experience severe technical difficulties or require major maintenance. These outages affect all Residents and are not limited to your computer or account.
This page lists any known issues. Incorrect passwords are a common cause of login failure. Passwords are case-sensitive, so remember to check Caps Lock if you know you entered your password correctly. If you've forgotten your user name or password, follow the instructions in Account credentials to retrieve it.
If you do not pay your tier or private Region fees in a timely fashion, your account and your alternate accounts may be disabled for delinquency. For more information, see Delinquency Policy. If we find that a Resident has broken our Terms of Service , Community Standards , or other policies, we may place that Resident's account on hold as a disciplinary measure. When we place an account on hold in this way, we send an email to the account holder at the address registered to that account.
Your previous session must be logged out before you can get back into Second Life. Sometimes, usually after a recent logout or crash, Second Life mistakenly thinks you are still logged in. If you receive a login failure message stating that "The system is logging you out If you continue to receive this message, you may be a victim of "stuck presence," which can be fixed by restarting the region in which your avatar is stuck.
Residents with premium or Concierge level accounts may request a region restart via live chat, ticket submission, or phone support. Basic accounts do not have access to avatar-level support at this time. A starting location field appears on the login screen; you may choose to log in at your last location, your home, or you may enter the name of any Region in order to attempt to log into that Region directly. And other people can control you via a remote.
Exploration is probably the other big thing for me because there's just so much to see. Steve H. He met one of his best friends while working out at an in-world gym. Those great conversations have led to dates and the aforementioned friend, whose wedding he was a groomsman in in I'd need to keep in touch with them. Those who I spoke to had full Second Life lives, filled with many of the same hobbies and activities one might enjoy in their first life. Meri, for example, is a music fan, and that was a big reason why she joined in Soon after, she managed one of those clubs, and eventually ran her own with her partner Thom that opened up every night for nine years.
She also writes a Second Life fashion blog. But like all things internet, there is an R-rated, darker side to Second Life. And Renetta shared with me the side of Second Life that explores kinks and fetishes.
The semi-anonymous nature helps users release inhibitions to try anything, and the digital platform means nearly everything can be created. As management changed and OpenSim worlds evolved, offering pricing and features SL could not, however, some early work in interoperability ended. There are many precedents for customers and industry in such ham-handed actions.
And it came decades later than it might have done. But Linden Lab did not have decades to dominate. In the era of broadband and ADHD media, it had a year. Linden Lab once had the market position and, key point, media spotlight to convince content-creators to license products for multiple grids.
The lack of such a marketplace and currency-of-choice is temporary. This could have been an easy win for Linden Lab. But in both the case of interoperability and commerce, the Lab did not act. Instead they made the garden-wall around SL taller and thicker. A virtual world with rich integration of Web resources would indeed be disruptive. Imagine an SL with a Unity-style client having been launched in Imagine the client bundled in every release of Firefox.
We might meet mom and pop via our browser do more than exchange photos or status updates. In theory and with a better physics engine, SL had that potential. Such environments could, for instance, replace current social networking. There are advantages to embodiment online, since we are wired as biological entities to react to other people in certain ways one does not see in the 2D world of a teleconference.
As one browsed, reviews could be checked with a click to invoke a virtual copy, fellow customers chatted up real-time about their picks, and more. Second Life would be about selling the experience of buying books, not just making a fake version of a bookshop rezz online. That would indeed be different from what companies like American Apparel tried in SL.
In fact, with augmented reality and new projection devices, in-world objects might be projected into the actual living space. Back to actual a. Will we ever get a 3D Web? Unlike routine vacations to lunar hotels, where the incentive may exist, the costs are not prohibitive and the infrastructure exists.
If not, other nations with more enlightened policies may build the next Internet. Like the Interstate system, it will transform daily life and not in always wonderful ways.
Whoever builds a 3D Web, I doubt that Linden Lab will be more than an historical footnote in e-texts about the next era of information technology. The hour is past for them. All went well with lag, rezzing, scripts, etc.
