Second Life is an application that allows people to create an avatar for themselves and have a second life in an online virtual world, or metaverse. Developed and owned by the San Francisco-based firm Linden Lab and launched on June 23, 2003, it saw rapid growth for some years and in 2013 it had approximately one million regular users; growth stabilized and by the end of 2017 active user count had declined to "between 800,000 and 900,000". In many ways, Second Life is similar to massively multiplayer online role-playing games; nevertheless, Linden Lab is emphatic that their creation is not a game: "There is no manufactured conflict, no set objective".

SecondLife.com is Not a "Game" I "Play"

Here is where I create my Reality and let my Soul express itself.

A lot of people think SL is a Game, but when you log out of a game, the game Stops.

But when you log out of SL, it continues.. With or Without You being here!

Because SL is also a Real Life.

We are Real people with Real words, Real Thoughts, Real Souls, Real Hearts & Real feelings!

I am the same person in my 1st life and in my 2nd life.

SL may be just a 'Game' to You, but to some of us it's the Only Life we have left.

How do you "play" ..Life?
