    Dreaming of Spring

    Second Life really wants the mobile app to succeed. They are now enticing premium residents to log into the app, complete random tasks daily, and each day, only one winner is selected to win a VIP Ticket. If you read the entire blog post, which is somewhat confusing, you deserve some type of prize. With this ticket, you gain the opportunity to attend a live taping of the Spin & Win Event, where you stand a chance to win L$1 million Linden dollars. Statistically, not everyone who spins will win a prize, or perhaps in some magical virtual universe, everyone does win a million Lindens, resulting in 31 new Linden millionaires!

    The odds are decent if you are fortunate enough to receive a VIP Ticket. To win L$1,000,000 Linden dollars, the chance is 2%, while the odds of winning L$10,000 are about 31%. Your chances decrease as the winning amount increases.

    4. PRIZES & PRIZE DISTRIBUTION
    Each selected winner will receive a March MegaWheel Ticket, granting access to a secret inworld location where they will participate in a Spin & Win Event. The MegaWheel has 48 wedges with the following prize distribution:

    • L$10,000 (15 slots) – approx. $40 USD
    • L$20,000 (12 slots) – approx. $80 USD
    • L$50,000 (10 slots) – approx. $200 USD
    • L$100,000 (5 slots) – approx. $400 USD
    • L$200,000 (3 slots) – approx. $800 USD
    • L$300,000 (2 slots) – approx. $1,200 USD
    • L$1,000,000 (1 slot) – approx. $4,000 USD

    Today, I decided to incorporate green into my outfit in honor of March and money 💵💵💵💵!

    Happy New Year

    Happy New Year

    Aren’t these Gigi Balloons from Legna the best? I love that these numbers come with two really nice poses for each hand. Even though the balloons state they are no modify, it actually allowed me to modify one, and I tinted it a light shade of blue. You can also rez these numbers for any occasion.

    This is meant to be an early Happy New Year post, but I also wanted to share my reflections on last year. Overall, I feel I had a good year in Second Life! I upgraded from Lifetime Premium to Lifetime Premium Plus, which cost a significant amount, and at first, I was genuinely excited. However, as the year progressed, I began to worry about the longevity of Second Life.

    I was enthusiastic about the mobile app when I tried it early this year as part of the alpha program; however, I now think it’s completely hopeless. This Open Letter to Linden Lab clearly outlines why I don’t believe we will ever see a usable mobile app.

    I had a lot of fun in the Aurelias region with my friend Sparkle. Still, I ultimately decided to pull the plug when I recognized that the economy and the state of Second Life might be uncertain in 2025. It was actually an easy decision; when faced with uncertainty, it is prudent to eliminate an unnecessary expense. As much as I enjoy having a whole region, I also appreciate the freedom that comes with not having to maintain one. I told Sparkle not to let me bring the region back next year, even if I have new ideas and want another one. 2025 is not the year for significant land projects.

    What am I looking forward to in Second Life in 2025? I am looking forward to Philip Linden changing his outfit. Additionally, I am eager for the next Linden Home theme, although Linden Lab has gone silent on that topic! Will it ever come? Who knows. It has been so long since the next theme was chosen via a poll that I almost forgot we were promised Alpine and Tiki as the next two themes. I am also looking forward to cleaning my inventory; right now it stands at 77k, but I know I can reduce it to 50k if I put in some effort.

    What are you looking forward to next year? Let me know in the comments!

    Happy New Year

    Wintertime in Second Life

    Everfaery Frostlight Jacket

    I know it’s still November, but I’m already in the mood for winter lights and Christmas festivities in Second Life. There are several things I look forward to during this time of the year, including Black Friday sales, the LeLutka Christmas tree gift, and clothing options that go beyond dresses that barely cover one’s bum. I need to find a way to wear this Everfaery Frostlight Jacket year-round, as it comes with so many color options and optional string lights. Everything is better wrapped in string lights.

    To distract myself from the issues with the Second Life mobile app, I decided to visit Winter Love Valley and enjoy some snow. This region is simple yet truly exceptional for photography! I was especially impressed with the chairs by What Next; the poses are all great and appear very natural. I immediately messaged Sparkle to ask if we had those chairs in our region, and she confirmed that we do.

    Wintertime

    In all the years that I’ve blogged about Second Life, I have never felt appreciated by Linden Lab. Therefore, when I read about the secret invitation-only blogger’s Zoom meeting, I was not surprised at all to not receive an invitation. A few other bloggers expressed similar sentiments, as feeling excluded is regrettably nothing new here. Second Life gains a significant amount of free press from its residents; we take millions of photos and create videos daily to promote the platform. Second Life bloggers are essential to the platform’s success; without us shopping, buying regions, and showcasing our experiences online, brands would not be able to thrive here.

    If you read the blog post I linked, you will see that in Brett Linden’s email, he mentions plans for even more secret meetings with selected creators. If you are a creator, consider how you can get on that list, as your competitors may receive invitations and obtain information that could significantly impact your livelihood before you do.

    There’s more I want to express about how Linden Lab has handled these matters, but I am not particularly impressed with recent developments, and I worry about Second Life’s future. With tickets going unanswered and numerous hacking incidents reported on the platform, I question whether we are safe. Is Second Life in trouble?

    Please share your thoughts in the comments! Do you believe Second Life is better than ever, or do you think it could improve?

    Second Life Mobile App update!

    I haven’t logged into the Second Life mobile app in a while, so I wanted to check if rezzing had improved. I was pleasantly surprised when I logged in with my iPhone 15 Pro and found that my avatar rezzed about 90% of the way. This version is the best that I’ve tried so far, and it rendered my avatar mostly accurately. My dress was all white, but during the 4 minutes I was logged in, it never fully rezzed a piece of the dress. I still find walking and moving difficult, but I can sit fairly well.

    In case you weren’t aware, Juicy Little is my alternate account. Now that the mobile app is open for all residents, I wanted to try an avatar with minimal inventory.

    I am impressed with the mobile app at the moment, but not enough to use it regularly or to encourage anyone to join Second Life on mobile. You don’t have access to inventory, and you can’t make any purchases, so what is the point?

    My phone also became very hot during the 4 minutes I was logged on to film this video. This video consists of 4 minutes of footage sped up to fit into 90 seconds. While rezzing is better, it is still quite slow. Most users with less capable phones can expect even slower rezzing than in my video.

    Are you excited to try the Second Life mobile app?

    Hello from Aurelias! I’m still living out my Bridgerton dreams in Second Life. This particular look is so stunning that I’ve saved it as my default outfit. This way, I can effortlessly switch from my everyday casual look to this elegant Victorian attire with just a click.

    Over the weekend, I attempted to do some shopping but came up empty-handed. My current fashion mood is all about Victorian elegance, and nothing I found quite matched that vibe.

    Curiously, I decided to give the Second Life mobile app another try. The app is now available to Premium and Premium Plus members. While it’s handy for logging in and chatting with friends, I found that navigating and performing any actions within Second Life remains a significant challenge. Movement is clunky, and rendering continues to be a nightmare. It’s clear that developers are making strides, but I can’t help but wonder how long this app will linger in beta.

    The mobile app, in its current state, is unlikely to attract new users. New residents would find themselves better off downloading the viewer and logging in that way. The app’s limitations also mean it doesn’t quite hit the mark for existing residents either. Access to inventory and the ability to change outfits are crucial features that are sorely missed.

    So, while it’s a step in an exciting direction, the Second Life mobile app still has a long journey ahead before it becomes a viable option for both new and seasoned residents.

    Second Life Mobile App for IOS (Can you sit?)

    Hello from the Second Life app on my iPhone 14 Pro! Welcome back to the second installment of our miniature video journey. An observant viewer commented about the portrait orientation on my last video, so I took the suggestion and filmed this video in landscape mode!

    This time around, I’m wearing the complimentary Ballus Avatar Torley Tribute. Frankly, I was over the whole drab default avatar look but couldn’t muster the enthusiasm to splurge or spend ages customizing a new one.

    I’ve gotten heaps of inquiries about the ability to sit on the mobile app. It’s a big deal! Whether it’s dancing with a partner on pose ball, chilling on some digital furniture, cruising in style, or engaging in more…intimate encounters, people just need to sit! So, I teleported to the Isle of View, plopped myself down on a pose ball, and after some trial and error, figured out how to get back on my feet. Slow walking is also in my skill set now, though that navigation wheel is still challenging.

    Greetings from the Second Life mobile app! Second Life is in the works to release a mobile app possibly within this year. The app will be accessible to both IOS and Android users. My experience on the iPhone 14 Pro has been quite smooth thus far. If you hold a Premium Plus membership, you’re eligible to be a part of the testing crew. Become a tester.

    Currently, I’m checking out the features using my alt account since my primary account has the Premium Lifetime membership and the alpha testing is reserved for Premium Plus members. The mobile app’s functionalities are somewhat limited at the moment, but I’m hopeful that we’ll see it expand with more options soon.

    Second Life residents were feeling a mix of emotions after Linden Lab announced that the new mobile app for Second Life would only be available exclusively on iOS Apple devices.

    “I’m so mad that I can’t use the app. I’ve been waiting for an app for years,” says MissNaughty210663. “This isn’t fair!”
