Bellisserian Voice: Did I Mention I Like Maps?

From Avalon: Throughout the Bellisseria 5th Anniversary Celebration, there is a rotating art exhibit called Art in the Park, and the artist and topic changes each week. I was so thrilled when I found out this week’s theme is Maps! So. Many. Maps! “Look, Galdor,” I said. “Maps!” “Oh, no.” He dug in with both feet. Talons are sharp, y’all. “Don’t we have enough maps already, at home?” “Sorry;…

If You're New To Second Life, This is the Post for you - Links and More to Jump Start Your Virtual Experience in Second Life

I have been in deep thought about this with another Second Life user recently. We spoke about how Second Life pays more attention to its current user base and doesn't really put the effort in to help the newer users. Yeah, there are tutorial sims but sometimes this just isn't enough for newer players. Learning how Second Life and third-party viewers work is an entire process. You don't have a full grasp of an entire viewer until months into playing Second Life, and even then some people get impatient and stop well before then and then the Second Life population dwindles by the player then becomes inactive.

However, If you're new I'm here to make things a little easier for you, I am compiling some of the tutorial islands and newbie-friendly places in this post for you that can help you get started with learning various parts of your viewer and customizing your avatar. Continue reading below to find these places compiled just for you.

Tutorial Islands (these are places where you can go to learn the basic mechanics of how to use Second Life in a step-by-step manner):

Safe Hub in Nelsonia

Welcome Hub - This is a social plaza but dependent on where you go it shows you tutorials on how to do things within Second Life.

New Resident Island - Found in Lawst Paradise, if you are a fan of Fantasy-themed places this is a tutorial location decorated in a Fantasy-themed way.

FC Learning Grove at Emain Ablach - Found in Faerie Mere this is a Medieval-themed tutorial sim to check out that will help you.

KCI Kuula - New Citizens Incorporated - Found in Kuula, this is a sim dedicated to helping new members run from a community outside of the general creators of Second Life. This sim has a lot of great resources and people who are willing to help.

==

Great Starting Places For Newer Members (If you enjoy traveling the world and want places that are new user user-friendly to meet people these are the places for you)

London City

Dublin

Central Park Hangout

The Shelter

Dreamers Landing

Doors to America

==

Sandboxes (do you like building, creating, driving, and exploring your creativity in a vast virtual world, Sandboxes are the place to do that. Here is a list of a few Sandboxes that can help to get you started)

Backdrop City - This is a nonprofit community project for bloggers, photographers, and builders. There are backdrops for influencers and photographers along with a 4-hour return Sandbox area.

Aldora Sandbox - Two Sandbox regions are connected with a 7-hour auto return for builders.

Fluffy 3.0 at Sticky - This is an LGBTQIA+ owned and operated community, this is a furry sandbox but all are welcome to be there.

Leading Sandbox and Hangout

Vortex Adult Sandbox - It's an adult building region

Bellisseria Sandbox - This is a Sandbox created for residents who want to experiment and test various aspects of the Linden Homes, this is where you can rezz content inside the homes to see which one you might like if you want to become a premium member and use a Linden Home.

Off the record - I'm a huge advocate for newer players joining Second Life Premium as it provides you with everything you would need to live your best virtual life. I am not promoting in any sense, I am someone who has experienced and paid for Premium firsthand and has continued since it started. From my personal experience if you're on Second Life more than 3-4 times a month you already got your money's worth out of the premium version. I have a post already created about the Premium Membership, please check it out for more information if you're curious about it.

*Note: The important thing is don't give up, I know Second Life can seem a little overwhelming with how much there is to do, learn, and explore but it really is an amazing experience and something to get into since everything is going technological anyway, there is something for everyone. Don't get frustrated a lot Second Life is just learning how everything works and what you want to do to get the best experience out of Second Life for yourself. *

Some questions to ask yourself to help you find what you want to do within Second Life:

What are some things I want to do in Real Life that I cannot?

If I could travel anywhere, where would it be?

If I could be anything or create myself in a whole new way, how would I look?

I'm creative, how can I use that to enhance my Second Life experience? What is there within Second Life where I can let this part of me out?

What do I enjoy doing and how can I experience what I enjoy and love within Second Life?

I enjoy playing board games and video games, what is in Second Life that can provide me with similar experiences?

I enjoy RPing and RolePlay Games what are some RP groups or RP sims that I can join?

I want to make new friends and meet new people from around the world. What can I do to have a positive experience in being able to do this?

I loved Legos as a kid and building, Can I build things inside of Second Life, and if so, where can I learn and what can I use to build within Second Life? Is there a group of builders that I can learn from and chat with in the process?

I enjoy the clubbing scene are there places I can go to experience the same without leaving my home?(for my introverts out there)

These are just a few specific questions to get you thinking about what you would like to do within Second Life and how you can have those experiences.

These are just a few links to get you started as a new member I wanted a post where everything was in one place for you. Please keep in mind that these are specific to the newest sims that are New User Friendly within Second Life, a lot of these are on the Destinations page of the Second Life browser website as well as within Destinations through the third-party viewer that you can visit that are considered "popular." As you grow within your Second Life experience, there are of course more places that you can go that are Sandboxes or places for members of all types and experience levels to enjoy each others' companies, but these are just to get you started. I also recommend looking at some of my "SL Travel" posts as these are places you can explore outside of this list where you can meet other people who aren't just new. The sky is the limit within Second Life, there is so much you can do and experience, it really is what you make of it!

SLに出戻りして1〜4日目

5年くらい前にちょっとだけ遊んだSecond Life（以下SL）。

まさか出戻るとは思ってなかったから前のアカウント消しちゃってた……。なのでまた最初からやり直し。

登録画面開いたらいきなりアバターメイクになってビックリ。まるで普通のゲームみたい。まあデフォアバはすぐに使わなくなるからテキトーに作って終わり。困ったのがユーザーネーム。思いつく単語片っ端から入力するも全部使用済で泣いた。最後に入力した変な長い名前がやっと通って登録完了。1日目はそれで力尽きた。

2日目はRL忙しくて触れず。

3日目にインしてチュートリアル受けたけど……なんか公式じゃなくてFirestormのSIMだった。（SIMの名前で気付いた）チュートリアル終わったらいきなりBellisseria大陸に飛ばされてボートに乗れとか言われたのでそこで終わり。

4日目にようやく数少ない昔の友達と連絡取れてテレポートで連れ出してもらう。テレポート先がULTILIZATORの総本山.::AMH::.2.0とは……趣味嗜好を覚えてたか。そこでようやくリンデンドルを買ってM4 AnnieMayヘッドをKemonoボディを購入。ホントはボディMaitreyaが鉄板なんだけどブラックフライデーにセール来そうだから安くあげた。友達のお家に転がり込んで着替え。やっと「戻った〜っ！」って実感。

ということでササッと4日間まとめた。

多分続く……と思う。
