In my second week in Second Life, I still feel like an outsider, especially as people seem really unapproachable. I asked for assistance and advice and was given one to two work answers and no specifics about where I was supposed to go. It appears that this society is based on those who have proven themselves. Part of the problem that I may be having is that I do not know many of the basics of how the game environment works, and I am not logged on while the "classes" are taking place.
I believe that people who are social outcasts, or have difficulty approaching others for fear of embarrassing themselves. This society allows people the opportunity to be someone they normally could not be in real life, daring, flirtaceous, and even down right mean (although I have not met anyone from that category as of yet.
At the time of this writing, I am still in the beginners area, and thus, almost everything available is free, and runs the gamut from new avatars, to clothing, to buildings. These items appeal to everyone, regardless of function, because there is something out there for everyone.
More updates to come soon.
