This is Kalysia, my Second Life character. After much toil and perhaps an hour spent trying to come up with a name that was not taken, she has come to life. Basically she's relatively normal, although influenced by the 'darker' side. Her outfit happens to be called "gothic," which I think is relatively appropriate. She is rather nondescript at the moment, aside from her long white shirt and elegant black jacket she wears over it. And, of course, knee-high black boots. Oh yes, and her purple eyes--how could we forget those! I hope, at some point, to make her more exciting!
I had a lot of trouble downloading the newest version of Second Life, though I managed to download a slightly older version, which apparently works the same as the newest version. The SL Viewer 2 continuously crashes. When I eventually got a viewer downloaded, I meandered through the Welcome Center.
The Welcome Center Island is very well detailed and simple to follow--especially for us inept at video games (and especially their cameras!) I found it easy to follow the various instructions and to get a grasp on certain actions, such as flying and maneuvering the camera for the right angles. I particularly find the control panels, such as the right-click wheel, particularly useful and easy to navigate.
I was surprised that the welcome tour was so short, and I was disappointed by the last section about the maps. I've been trying--since completing the tour--to navigate throughout the world, but I keep hitting snags when attempting to locate various locations on the map. It would have been nice if the tour was a bit more helpful when it came to that bit of information.
