1: It's free, but you get more access if you pay $10 a month. There's little point unless you want to own land.

2: It's not an actual game. It's just a virtual world. It's about having a virtual world to do stuff in.

3: It's the first and best of its kind. No other virtual world lets you have anywhere near as much control. However, unless you have a high end computer, it's rather laggy.

1. That's good.

2. Sounds sort of fun, but that type of thing doesn't always appeal to me the most.

3. I have good hardware, but my internet connection is laggy.

If your internet connection is at least 50K, you'll be able to do most things in SL. Don't expect to do any fighting unless you can get it over 100K. You'll still see some lag and have a few things taking forever to load unless you can get it up to the GB range, but that will mostly be textures and other non-critical items.

If you can connect at all, you can do things in which lag is not relevant - such as attending a radio broadcast from inside SL, going to meetings and classes, hanging out in clubs, non-combat roleplay, etc.

They pretty much summed it up. At 5K, I'm lucky if my inventory loads. If I can at least get it close to 50K, I can build.

No wonder you're gray for half an hour.

My modem runs at about 50K most of the time, so I'm hardly even hampered... except at DCS.
LordXenophon said about 1 month ago
I avoid DCS sims because I don't want to be forced to buy a DCS HUD just to be in the sim. All the other combat systems give the HIUD away for free.
Dr-Madness said 29 days ago
I'm not trying to advertise for it, but all the vendors I've seen sell DCS for 75L$... the only bother is having to update it since vendors only seem to sell DCS2 and I'm pretty sure the latest version is 2.461.
