Second Life once was a great game, but with overpowering militaries and a bunch of perverted people the game's horrible.

I strongly discourage anyone from playing Second Life. I have had many bad experiences while playing and wasted many hours playing the game. Unless you're a perverted jerk who likes to curse and have pointless wars over nothing then do NOT play Second Life. If you read my story of my experiences I had on Second Life I hope it will be enough to keep you from playing it. When I first played Second Life I joined and created a Jedi group (light side jedis) and we fought a Sith group called the New Sith Empire. At that time the Sith group was owned by a guy named Anory Law. A great leader, and a fun guy to hang out with and roleplay. But after a while, Anory left the group and a perverted idiot named Toka Barak took control. He turned the group into a military bent on destroying the Jedi. Everywhere we went and set up base, we were attacked and our base got completely messed up and left a wake of lag behind. So a huge war began, we gained many allies including Anory and eventually battles would take place every day. Then a huge military group began taking all of second life buying up all its land and destroying every group hat rose against it. Toka Barak, in order to become a high member in ASR sought to destroy our group by turning one of my greatest friends on me which ended up in the destruction of the light side jedis. I contacted as many Jedi as I could and we created a New Jedi Order. This group was mainly focused on trying to destroy ASR, and The New Sith Order was pretty much abandoned. The New Jedi Order was one of many groups who wanted to end ASR but alliances and battles all ended up badly against them. I tried spying on ASR and learned the layout of their greatest base in Second Life. All plans to take the base failed to to the incompetence of the others to follow order. So we failed at our mission, and one by one we started leaving Second Life till a few remained to stay and end up on a different path. The New Jedi Order practically vanished with a small group remaining led by a good friend who I tried to support. Over time ASR spread as the main force over Second Life and order over the whole virtual world was lawless. Perverts would attack you leaving inappropriate objects and once in a while you may get shot with a gravity gun, stunned by a grenade, put in a trap, and harassed. Eventually even the most peaceful place on Second Life became laggy. The name was Behomoth. It was full of trees, a snoopy house, a chess set, and a place to relax until military bases were set up around it and it became another laggy slum. Over time I came back to Second Life less and less till I eventually stopped do to school and sports. I do still keep contact with many of my friends on instant messengers, and having these friends were the only beneficial thing that came out of playing the game. I strongly discourage anyone from playing it and wasting a lot of time out of their life like I did.
