As a creator in both SL and BM I can tell you there is no comparison. SL creation is very poor indeed compared with BM. Here is a side-by-side comparison of the tools available to both: http://rock-vacirca.blogspot.com/2009/06/creation-tools-second-life-v-blue-mars.html It really is a no-brainer. Rock Is answered with.... There.com killed it's self because of poor business model and terrible TOS policy. Having SL to migrate to and SL doing a lot more stuff right had a lot to do with There's demise. If we had no place to go to we might still be playing in There. I have no reason to leave SL for more than a few months at a time due to RL. If however BM does more stuff right than SL....who knows? Big win for BM. Still waiting for the public beta to open up. I signed up with 3 addys from 3 different IP addresses in hopes of getting a response. _____________________
Is it more like it is now than it was before?
 My first ever SL forums post as Phoenix..... Became really good friends with Sydney Jacobs, the first to answer that post. |

I would imagine skin creators could get pretty creative with this. Start with a photo and then alter in PhotoShop.

I think SL is morphing into something other than just an entertainment platform. With all the non-stop blog postings about education and businesses, I am beginning to feel like we just do not matter to them anymore. If another virtual world appears that has the same functionality and economy as SL and actually shows appreciation for the customers that pay them, then yes I would say SL is in trouble. I have to agree, at one time LL did alot for the people of SL but now its more on the buisness side, marketing to big buisnesses since alot of people are starting to use SL more , even world wide. Think LL needs to look more back in hioistory to see how they became so great of a Virtual World and let bug buinsess do their own thing in SL. In respects I love where SL is going and how much the have accomplished but the downside if using up more resources on our end to get there when I thought they would look for less. WoW became big because the lack of resources needed , but they lack alot, as in creating your own fantasy , its more you play their fantasy and pay for it. Ok I am rambling now |
