Another Day at the SL Office [2007]

Those were the days: SL on the cover of many a magazine, virtual outposts of "Deutsche Post", "Domino's Pizza" [UK] and the US version of "The Office" even featured a hilarious SL storyline, which was cut short by the WGA strike and a decline in mainstream SL interest.

I need to mention, that the "Office" avatars started out on CyberExtruder's Avatar Island, built by excellent developer Cranial Tap. You can look like Michael Scott too if you wish, for less than L$3000!!!

Second life is not a game. It is a multi-user virtual environment. It doesn't have points or scores, it deosn't have winners or losers.

@Ramsez oh it has losers.

The going labor rate in Second Life is about $.30 an hour. I believe this is on par with China?

@GgioVega22 you dont have to use anything to sign up, i play for free, only way you have to use a paypal or anything is if you want to buy something there, but you can also earn money to where you dont have to pay :P my bf uses his paypal, but i play for free and he has never had any problems. Only premium accounts pay. But everyone signs up for free and you later decide if you want to be premium.

Hey, um,if you used Paypal to sign up for SL, have you noticed Second Life taking any of your money??? Or any other suspicious thing? Cause I just wanted to know because I really want to sign up for SL, but because they ask for your Paypal Username(E-Mail) and your Paypal password I'm just really not so sure if I should sign up or not. :( Please reply ASAP!
