After hav­ing spent more than two years and a half in Sec­ond Life I think I will quit very soon.

Sev­eral rea­sons led me to this deci­sion, but the most impor­tant is: it’s no fun any­more.

Here is a sim­ple list of the other rea­sons why:

• It’s the same thing all around the uni­verse. Same build­ings, same objects, same ani­ma­tions. That sparkle of cre­ativ­ity that I could see in the early stages is def­i­nitely gone nowadays.
• Always the same ques­tions. “How can I find a job?” or “Do you want to have fun” repeated at least 20 times dur­ing each ses­sion is enough for me to give up.
• Cor­po­rate pres­ence is almost sim­i­lar to a “cathe­dral in the desert”. (Actu­ally don’t know if Eng­lish speak­ing peo­ple have this expres­sion). I do not really see any value today for a com­pany to estab­lish a Sec­ond Life pres­ence. (This sen­tence is worth a ded­i­cated post that I will write in the near future)
• I do not really see any real option to start any kind of new and prof­itable busi­ness activ­ity in Sec­ond Life. (Even if I admit I have been too lazy to inves­ti­gate this in deep detail dur­ing the last few months).
• My first time friends have all left SL.
