I even (almost accidentally) made a couple of hundred REAL US dollars with some land that I purchased in a new expansion and sat on for a while trying to dream up something to do with it.  Then I sold it and made a ton of Lindens.

The in-game tools and scripting was surprisingly powerful.

If you are curious, I'd highly recommend you check it out.

Allowing the user to customize their virtual world is fantasitc. Gamers of The Sims and MMO gamers, I bet, will really like SL.

I'm interested in becoming a SL 10 resident.

It's only a matter of time, until we will get to live in the (real) "Matrix" (only without the machines and Neo).

BTW, I think it would be cool if 10 SL residents were to make short films in SL and post them, here, for others to view.

It's tempting to install it again just to play on the 10 island (and maybe figure out how to build an orcmid), but I think I'd better stay away.  Thanks for the cool introduction, though.  Well, I could probably install it just enough to look around, you know, just for a quick peek ...

Don't like HALO? Make your own. Sounds vaguely like blogging and such.

I just wrote a post on SL, without mentioning SL until the last minute. As an application, it's wild and people would think you'd be nuts if you said you were gonna build it:

However, I think you are talking about two different topics in your post.... 1) spending money to buy things you didn't "earn" in the traditional way, and 2) spending money for a subscription-based game.  There have been way too many cycles spent debated both all over message boards.  #1 has been beat to death all over message boards.  #2 is just whether you think it's worth it or not!  I'm struggling with you tieing this somehow to something you "don't believe" in.

Mainly I just wanted to point out that SL does NOT require you spend ANY money.
