I been playing SL for years. It's not just one game, because there are different games inside the game. I play a fishing game to earn lindens (SL money), I role play and with a combat hud in CCS, hunting games, driving games, whatever you can think of. (and if you cant find something, you can make it in SL)
I also make money from a store. If you are creative, and enjoy making sounds, animations, sculpting 3D objects, or working with photoshop to make textures.. you may find a place in SL.
Anyone can feel free to look me up, and say "HIGH".. ProHuman Resident

How much drive space have you dedicated to SL? Does it run well on a modest rig?

SL does not take up much HD space, but it is demanding on processing. It runs the best with a dedicated graphics card, but a lot of people run it on cheap laptops without too much lag.
I would say the biggest reason people have lag is due to their internet connection. DSL is choppy, and if you are on a wireless connection, it gets worse.
I play on a gaming desktop, and I'm hardwired into a cable modem. I have no issues at all with lag, unless the sim itself is crowded, then I slow down a bit. It matters when I am in a fight, if you have a good system, you can kick ass in CCS... but if you have a cheap-o computer, then you should stick to slower paced things like fishing.

Intel fanboys w/ bleeding edge hardware would say my rig sucks... but i don't think so. Not top tier by any means, but rocks everything i throw at it, minus Sims 3 (which runs bad on most rigs) and BF4 (which is just a resource hog anyway; BF4 actually runs better than Sims 3...).
[email protected], 8Gb RAM, gtx590, SSD for the OS... 850w gold-rated PSU (with recommendation from "jonnyguru") and some mech drives (cpu and gpu on custom single loop, 1/2" id tygon, T-line no res, big rad, 9 yate loons... even a half-decent wire tuck). It's basically a never-ending project rig that i never quite finished maxing out (and likely never will at this point). Life intervened, etc. I used to be heavily mmo-pvp oriented, but at some point i realized that i really disliked a significant portion of the gamers i kept encountering... and since multiplayer was kinda the whole point (for me), my gaming interests rapidly waned. "Can't stand most people, don't want to play alone... maybe i should just not play at all? Yep." Now it's more of an occasional thing... though i have come to better appreciate games which require as little effort as possible. If i can forget my body exists while playing, it's a good game. If controlling the game causes physical discomfort, it sucks, no matter how hyped or cutting-edge or how great the graphics may be. This is part of what made me dislike D3: they won't make it controller-compatible, despite having both the knowledge and tech to do so (since they already did exactly that for the consoles). Game devs and publisher companies basically telling everyone "fuck you, you'll buy it anyway!" and implementing blatant cash-grab tactics, over-hyping and under-delivering, EA refusing to make new madden for PC... is a huge part of why i lost interest in gaming. The politics of gaming "business" kinda ruined it for me. Kinda want to just go live in the woods and play with sticks and rocks.

This thread is a bit old but I'll post anyway. I've played SL off and on since 06. I was once the highest paid live DJ in there
5k tips were common ( dj'd rl so figured why not?). Big following and erupted into my own clubs etc. Was a nice ride but it got to be too political and
friends that were not really friends, and then the always wanna fuck? .. no I don't go away.
So I gave up DJ'ing after a few years and turned to design.
So now I make skins,clothes,accessories, hair. pretty much anything I like or want to make.
Maya, zbrush,photoshop are your friends in SL., I think having gone to school for 3d modeling and design helped
alot in this area, the base model for SL is very glitchy and I'm glad they came out with other options.
I haven't really played in ages, my stuff sells still, I log into lindens in my account, I pay my land tier and I'm gone.
just nothing there excites me right now.

my friends miss me, but they can get over it, or fuck off.

It's nice to log into lindens, take care of business, and log out.
