The beginning in SecondLife

For everything there is a beginning. My first steps in secondlife are the steps every newbie will make. I still remember i liked to fly a lot, so i abused this feature.
SecondLife is a huge world, with lots of citizens, but in your beginning of your second life you will think it is an empty place.
After you are born you will need skins, hair, clothes. You will find plenty of shops and you will learn that nothing good is cheap. There are, however, some places with things for newbies. Look for Free Dove for example. But most of the people will want to buy some things so they start camping. This means they will go and dance or stay in a place where they will be paid just because they are not leaving. This may sound stupid but many newbs find this thing really hellpfull. The payment rate is very low but they still want it.
After some time spent in SecondLife, camping or exploring you will get bored ... if you will not find any friend. The social life is very important in SecondLife. You will not taste the real fun of SecondLife until you will have friends.
They are everywhere, just say hello
Also, I still remember the most important thing that made me stay. Its the complete feeling of freedom. You can fly anywhere, you can go everywhere, do everything you want when you want. You will soon get used to it ... you will get used to freedom .

How did I found SecondLife ...

Hello good man,
If you are reading this blog please don't judge my english. It is poor ... as it is not my first language. I am from Romania, and I'll write some of my experiences in SecondLife.
It was november 6th in the morning, 2006. My dad knocked my door and entered without asking. He was telling me the police is in our house with a search warrant. Just great !
I was earning my living exchanging e-gold, an e-currency so precious for my life, as it was the only chance to have a normal life. I didn't like the college because I was not studying what i liked and i found a job where I was paid with almost nothing. Even it was not a hard job there was no future in my life. I spended all day designing flyers, video-clips, web-pages for that company and all they were paying me was a monthly salary around 150 bucks. That's hard !
I must say tho, i had a lot of free time there. Not a good salary but a lot of free time. Free time and a good internet connection as I was not able to afford one at home.
This is how i found e-gold. The winning games, the cyclers and hyips. It was like wonderland for me, everybody was wining in this world. I started to work for people who needed my services in that area. People wanted mostly web pages and banners, script installed and so on. I started to get more clients, from mouth-to-mouth advertising and soon I was ready to get my e-gold exchanged in cash. I bought a debit card from INTGold and my egold was in my hand in 2 days. That was great.
Soon i found there were more romanians that were making money in e-gold. They needed a reliable service for exchanging their funds. And soon I bought e-gold.ro domain. Also I became more known to people in that area.
It looked like nothing could stop me. I had a few exchanges that were worth more then USD10,000 , everything was perfect.
However, I had a feeling something will happen. I was feeling that not all my clients were good honest people. And I knew e-gold is used by some scammers and thieves also.
That's right, the police was in my house. They said they have a search warrant. When I read it I recognized the name of one client of mine. It was the biggest client that was buying e-gold from me.
After this, we headed to Bucharest, where I explained all things to the officers. Later, after 2 months I finally found out that my client was a big carder, and I think he was almost a USD millionaire. Unfortunatelly for me, i was ruined because of him.
When the police came, they took all my HDDs. All my passwords were there, and they kept the HDDS for 3 months. In this time I got broke paying all my bills and the lawyers. And for what ?
After a month, on december the 1st i think i read a newspaper. I learned about Anshe Chung and about the fact that she has becomed a millionaire playing a game over the Internet. The game was named Second Life ...
Soon I found out that this may be my second chance, my second luck ...
