having knowledge and game-play in
both worlds - let me just say this :
they are absolutely
nothing alike, other than the fact that they both have an "RCE".
second life is
not a game, but a place for social interaction through avatars.
there is no 'worldly focus' in second life - everyone is on their own sim, doing their own things.
No red dots to focus on, no loot to be had .. everything is ran, built, and promoted by the
players.
here in EU - we are all doing the same basic things, with the same basic goal -- LOOT !
I'm a much bigger fan of EU than I am of Second Life - but that's probably because I played EU first and know I will always play... even with the shit loot I get - lol
about second life 'slowly dying' - if you log on at any given point in time, there's guaranteed to be at least 50,000 people online. But .. they're allowed 'alt' accounts there - so I'd say it's really about half that, with half of them 'camping' to earn SL peds.
