Ah, the virtual world of Second Life.
Land of the giant penises, great griefing, and furries.
Basically, but its a lot more then that, both on the fucked up side and the rather fun side.
Second Life was first launched in june 2003, and has vastly expanded from what it was then, into the ever changing metaverse that it is today. The game allows for lots of user content, since almost everything was created by a user on the Grid. There is an age limit, 18, but there is also the Teen Grid, for the younger ones.
I'm sure you've at least seen one picture of some fucked up stuff from secondlife (Large penis avatars, object spam, lulzy raids from a Chan). Oddly enough weird shit is common in SL and most people are just used to it. Though yes, there are a lot of furries, they mostly stay in their own little Sims, so just avoid them (Though you'll see one ever now and then no matter what, just ignore them).
About lag and graphics, SL runs different based on the SIM you are in and your computer, you can have the best computer ever but you'll lag like fuck in a full sim with badly made stuff. And graphics, well, all the content is user made, so you'll find bad looking shit, and really good looking shit, depends on where you go.
The game is free to play, though if you want a sim (Costs a fuckload, so I doubt it) or buy some land on the mainland sims, you'll need a paid account. Also since things in game cost money, you'll need Lindens (In game money), though if you aren't and idiot it is easy to make your own money and support yourself.
This game it different in every sim, combat to roleplay, to both, to just stores and games. It is always different, you need to remember that, such as the second picture I post below is from the Wasteland sims, which are Post-apoc resident sims that also have Roleplay and a Combat game, while the first picture is just some random crap of mine.

Any pictures or info I'll add to the OP if you want
I have not played Second Life since... Several years... i guess it's still hard to earn cash without paying.
[QUOTE=darkedone02;15812436]I have not played Second Life since... Several years... i guess it's still hard to earn cash without paying.[/QUOTE]
I started making a nice amount with an avatar I was selling until LL broke an exploit it was using in a recent update, not really hard if you know what you're doing like I said.
I like it, except for the fact that I can't get any money.
And I'm not fucking paying for in-game money that I'll run through in five minutes.
Yeah, I end up mostly making all of my stuff now and using the money I make for uploading textures and stuff for work
wait, are there like any quests or anything, raids, dungeons anything? or is it just 1 big social thing like habbo hotel with 3d graphics?
second life looks awesome, but what is first pic about ...
[QUOTE=Spaztastik;15816617]wait, are there like any quests or anything, raids, dungeons anything? or is it just 1 big social thing like habbo hotel with 3d graphics?[/QUOTE]
One big creative sandbox with real player economy.
... and lots of furries
[QUOTE=Greaterbeing;15817411]... and lots of furries[/QUOTE]
G'uh. I hate that stereotype.
LL did a study to see what the population of subgroups are in second life and the percentages of them, and the furry population was only between 6-10% of the game. And most furries tend to hang out in furry themed sims, so it's pretty unlikely to meet a furry at most areas unless you intend to see them.
Anyways, Pics:

Never could get into it, it seemed clustery and very laggy.
If Furries only take up 10% of SL, then every single one of the bastards must post on Facepunch. The last thread was page after page after page of furry avatars and crap like that.
[quote]Never could get into it, it seemed clustery and very laggy.[/quote]
Laggy it is. SecondLife is very unstable. It's got huge problems with lag and crashing. It's still fun for building and chatting and such, but I never understood how people do anything else what with the insufferable amount of lag and the ridiculously slow load times of large sims (SL lingo for a large block of land). The only vehicles you can really pilot effectively are boats and slow moving airships, as lag sends everything else bouncing all over the place.
I'm gonna give everyone a good warning: Shit can get very, very weird in Second Life.
Don't say I didn't warn you, NSFW.

that is by far the most fucked up thing i have seen in SL
SL is like a failed version of Garrysmod that Garry never realeased.
[QUOTE=Lulzertank;15825311]SL is like a failed version of Garrysmod that Garry never realeased.[/QUOTE]
You're comparing two completely different game genres.
Gmod is a FPS that lets you build shit out of HL2s models and objects, + various mods.
Second life is a 3d chat client in which everything is scripted, built, and animated by the players, including what the player wears. You can literally do anything you want with SL, you just got to be committed to make it.
Another SL thread?!
Ohhkay, here's some OLD piccys!

Everything done by residents and content users. :)
People who aren't creative simply cannot grasp the depth of such a powerful medium
I've been in SL since 2 years. When I first started, everything it's laggy, now it's better..it kinda depends on the sim. I have everything high.
If anyone wants to add me, just ask. By the way, I'm a furry. And also, furry avatars are everywhere.
I'll post pics soon.
Someone sent me this:
[quote=YouTube User]my grandpa is addicted to second life!!! and i mean if he could he would be on ther 24/7 so..... why did you make second life its a creepy website!!!![/quote]
I don't understand.
Yea, the lag is mainly depending on the sim you're in. If you're in some shitty combat sim with 1,000 scripts running and 30 idiots running around you're gonna lag.
Meh, could put some pictures up.

I hate it when people buy stock avatars and don't even bother developing their own avatar.
