A Second Life For Real People

More beautiful than Brad Pitt, more creative than Leonardo da Vinci and more successful than Bill Gates. This are the characteristics of a resident from Second Life.

But what is Second Life? It is a virtual world in which anybody can create a perfect alter-ego and live another life, a virtual life. For this to happen, you only have to build up your character, your avatar, being able to use more than 200 settings to personalize it. You can set the the shape of your nose, the color of your hair, the muscles on your body to the smallest detail, then you just have to launch it in the virtual world of the game. There are millions of people in the Second Life society. The registration is free and easy, but if you want to become a serious resident in the most serious parallel world, you have to pay a small tax. Which is real.

The virtual world which makes real money is called Second Life. It began as a form of entertainment and now it is a business who can make people millionaires. Actually the first millionaires are the creators of the game. Second Life is a game released by Linden Lab which is a company owned by Philip Rosedale, one of the people responsible for the success of the Real Player application.

Second Life fashion sells big. People buy clothes, shoes and accessories for their avatars. Everybody wants to look good. Just like in real life. Besides real estate, business means creativity. People attend Second Life events and make friends from all over the world. The idea is very appealing and people who are attracted to it usually fall in love with the virtual game. Who knows what will happen next? Second Life news abound on the internet and the virtual world is expanding, but how will it interfere with reality? If it is a battle who will win? Time will tell and peoples' lives. Both of them.
