Second Life Events
September 17th, 2007
Events in Second Life are realtime events that a person can attend to either learn about aspects of Second Life such as scripting, sculpting, and communication or to participate in a recreational activity online. Second Life classes can also be taught on a real world subject or activity. The voice chat feature of Second Life, along with it text-based communication system, allows for classes to also encompass non-technical learning such as discussions in philosophy or religion.
The event that i choose to participate in was a recreational scavenger hunt across a Second Life mall called Promenade Mall.
In this scavenger hunt, the objective was to wander around the mall and enter vendors stalls in search of pirate treasure chests.
Inside each of these treasure chests is a free item from a vendor in Second Life. Throughout the course of my search I found two treasure chests. Both chests that I found contained a pair of designer shoes. The mall was populated with many vendors, mainly clothing stores, that were attempting to sell their wares. This event was less of a social event and more of a advertising promotional to get people to buy the store’s wares. There was little social interaction in the event due to the constant moving about to find new treasure chests. This event was fun to participate in and was also good for the stores in the mall because it gave the stores advertising.

That’s neat. Malls should try that in real life.

Man, i wish i participated in that event. That sounds like fun. The pictures you provided were great and demonstrated pretty clearly how the event was. I’d say that your blog could have beena a bit stronger if you had included maybe a couple conversations you had with others. Otherwise, good job.

To be totally honest…this was a really bad event to attend. What did you learn because of this event? Did you get to keep the designer shoes? Did this event make you interested in the stores? Did you win the scavenger hunt?

doesn’t sound like too good of an event to meet people or learn advanced things for sure, but at least you got some free stuff. i like getting free stuff. still better than the events i tried to go to *sigh*
