Overall I feel like this is a game based very much on being social and less around set goals. I think for me this is a little too much like the already intolerable real world to me (I cannot even kill zombies, I mean i really fucking wanted to kill the zombies they wear every where, no right click boot to the head ability i guess.)
I found it very difficult to interact with the other secondlifians, and felt very much the enterprise viewing a culture from the outside. I did attempt to "chat" with a few people, with no response at one point and then at another point i ran around the entire room yelling for attention. I also tried repeatedly jumping from platforms and falling to my theoretical death to see if any one noticed. I may just be using the chat button incorrectly, ( It feels as though its self explanatory ) but no one seems to respond.
In response to comments made on the blackboard site people think I am shy around people or that I find it difficult to interact with others, I am actually not shy at all. I just do not want too, I post and interact on Blackboard due to class room requirements and I attempted to interact with other avatars to truly immerse myself in a new enviroment.
For me the digital version of the real world is pretty similar, except I can fly!!! (Bu not kill zombies) Maybe there is much more to the game if you are interested in spending money and designing your personal area, but once again I do not really want to own a real world home, let alone a digital one. (I have camera equipment to buy) I can however understand Very much why people would find it easier in the anonymous world. You can create the person or cartoon or whatever you see yourself as. You can do what you want and fly...But not kill Zombies apparently... I truly understand why some one would want that, even digital online sex, it makes sense. I suppose its just not for me, (the not killing the zombies really got to me.)
