And it procs often. I appreciate your input but tend to disagree…I think it’s a great guide! :)

Savagery is a really good enchant, but when Mongoose procs it’s unreal the crits you get. And it procs often.

Just as an example of the ‘reality’ that is Second Life, try this as starter (I hope the URL shows) …

If you look at it that way I can see your point of view. I didn't look at it as much as social as a game. I guess I imagined it more like the sims, where it's not really you but just an avatar you control. Sims get married and have families and I of course wouldn't get jealous of that - my wife plays that all the time. But being that it's all real people and more like a game platform bases IM rather than just a game I can see why it would be different. Ya, I wouldn’t be thrilled with my wife cybering someone else.

I can't really say it's a bad thing that people met on SL, got married IRL, then divorced IRL, because people MEET IRL, Get married IRL, and divorce IRL. I would be hella pissed if my gf was out cyper-sexing up some dude on WoW, SL, AIM, EMail, WHATEVER. I wanted to play SL but it won't run on my comp.

Real emotions can run high on SL. Beware - but don't let that stop you enjoying it ;) Please update us with your experiences. Good luck to you both :) Evad :O) You’re opinion certainly may change.

We're looking for something we can both do together and this sounds fitting. I guess I'd have to wait until I was in game, but if I ever found out her avatar was fooling around with another avatar, I just can't see me getting really upset over it - given it's just a fantasy world. In real life, that'd be a different story. Granted - my opinion may change after I see what it's like. I absolutely intend to give it a go, was talking about it with my wife last night.

To some it is just entertainment, true, but to many, it is an extension of their real lives, or and adjunct to it. It means many different things to many people. Some use as Role Play, and make their avatars to reflect the role they want to play (furries, Goths, etc): others (the majority I think), try to make their avatars as much like themselves as possible (though perhaps a little slimmer, or taller, or muscular ... ;)). From what I've seen, SL is practically a mirror image of real life socially, and the 'personalities' that occupy it are just as diverse - from the very genuine, good people, to the very twisted and sick (mentally), so it's not always an escape from reality, it's a reflection of it - and along with that goes all joy as well as the baggage. It's just as easy to ruin your real life in real life as it is in SL, the main difference is that you can switch SL off ........ possibly ;) I suggest you actually try it - but try not to take it too seriously ... if you can. That may take more than a couple of hours - depends how sociable you are. Evad :O) Second Life can’t really be called a ‘game’, because it has no stated goal, or ‘end game’.

I just see it happening more in SL than in others, mostly because of the media and especially because of SL's social aspects.

I'm not against SL, but if it's a means of entertainment - game or otherwise - it shouldn't be taken to far in my opinion. True it's more social than other games but it's still entertainment. Do most people in SecondLife walk around pretending to be someone they are not (this is what I imagined it would be) or does everyone try to mimick their real life persona? If it is used as an escape from real life, it should remain that ... another of my worthless 2 cents. I just can't see the logic in ruining your real life happiness because of something going on in a game. You apparently think I’m downing the game itself, I can tell you are a fan.
