Released:
5 February 2009 Second Life® is an online 3D virtual world imagined, created, and owned by its Residents that offers a platform for communication, business, education, and organizational development to anyone who wants to try it.
- Community — Residents create avatars, form groups and establish a persistent presence in the world.
- User-Created Content — Residents create and own everything in the world. Using easy-to-master building and scripting tools, Residents create anything from houses and animations to clothing and vehicles.
- Marketplace — A vibrant economy results in the buying and selling of Resident created content.
- Getting In: Your first Basic account is free. Additional Basic accounts cost a onetime flat fee of $9.95. If you choose to own land, you'll pay a monthly lease fee based on the amount of land you own.
- Avatar Customization: Creating your avatar is simple. Using sliders, you can customize your appearance endlessly. Buy a custom skin and hair to create an even more detailed look.
- The Linden Dollar: Second Life has a built-in micropayment system. The in-world currency is the Linden Dollar (or L$) and the exchange rate is about L$270/US$1. You can buy and sell your L$ at the LindeX — the Linden Lab affiliated currency exchange.
- Land: Buy islands from Linden Lab at the Land Store (or from other Residents via auctions). Owning land gives individuals and organizations the opportunity to customize the Second Life experience for their particular audience.
