There are period sims interests they couldn't do in RL but can here. Some come to live out a fantasy they couldn't elsewhere. Others just come here to have some fun and meet people they otherwise wouldn't meet. They aren't treating SL as a game, but as a tool. There are businesses and higher education schools here. You are dealing with RL people from all over the world. It isn't like you are playing World of Warcraft, Monster Hunters or those race car games, etc. I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned, SL is not a game. Something you can't do in a game you can play over and over. They have feelings just like you and to treat them like a game character is unfair to them and can result in them muting you to avoid you all together. In the end, without a goal to reach, SL becomes an ever changing world depending on how you use it and behind every avatar is a real person. Those sims will have instructions on what you can and can't do but otherwise you are on your own with a little help from the long time residents to get you acclimated. There is no How-to book to tell you how to do it. Again, no compeitition, no goal to reach other than the enjoyment of pretending to be someone like in a stage play but with a more realistic background and a learning curve. There are strict role play sims and some not so strict but it takes research and study to role play on those sims. People mutually agree to meet and talk and dance. There is no competition and no goal to reach. There are even real live bands that stream in their music for others to enjoy as well as DJ's. There are all kinds of genres of music that everyone enjoys and they meet people with those same interests. Going to clubs, dances, etc isn't a game. You have a choice of what you want to do but there is no clear path to follow and no goal. There is role play and there is no role play. The characters in the game aren't real and there are no feelings to hurt. After you reached the goal of the game, you could start again and play it over and over and over. You can't deviate from the scripted path. You had to follow the path of the game in order to finish it.
I guess I'll give my description of what is a game and what isn't.īefore SL you had all these video games to play.
