What Keeps You Coming Back To SL?

[Cristiano]

So I haven't been back to the SL forums in ages as it went through a bunch of different forum platform changes, so after seeing the ZOMG SLU PEOPLE ARE THE WORST thread, I decided I'd post a thread there just to see how it goes:

What Keeps You Coming Back To SL?

The same topic applies here - what keeps you coming back to SL if you still sign into it?

 

[Shiloh Lyric]

Mostly my partner, now. But sometimes, it's the escape into a world where my biggest problem is full shopping events.

 

[Sansarya]

Shopping, escapism, attached to my avatar, too lazy to explore other virtual worlds or play other games.

Shopping, escapism, attached to my avatar, too lazy to explore other virtual worlds or play other games.

Pretty much mostly this.

I also like to create things, even if they are mostly useless things.

Being in SL is still like being in a RL dream to me, colorful, fanciful and surreal. The art and amazing creativity of people in world. I don't build anymore but I'm going to log in and look at all the Halloween stuff.

 

[Maggy Hazelnut]

psssttt Rose... your cat avatar creeps me out! haha!

 

[Dragon]

Dragon flies around with friends and visits roleplay sims, rawr!
Also collecting avatars is just awesome.

Investments.

The people it is impossible to meet any other way. Ultimately it has always been the main thing for me.

I also love shopping, particularly these days. The hit that I get buying a really nice new piece of clothing is not very different from the real life hit.

Putting outfits together is almost a zen thing. It is a form of contemplation I can still get lost in.

The fact that I may have plans going into SL, but I never really know what might happen

 

[Faithless Babii]

My partner , my amazing SL dream home, and over a decade of incredible memories .

 

[Kara Spengler]

That I do not need to go to their forums to use the grid? Seriously though, usually for some event. I do not leave because of friends I have there. I also keep my old premium account because LL are basically paying me to have it.

 

[Robert Jung]

I'm less active but I login for SLB, Burn2 and to check on friends.

 

[Han Held]

It's something to do, at a time in my life where I appear to be able to do less and less.
[ETA]
Actually, that's true but that's not the entire truth. I keep coming back because I know it, I can express ideas and explore tangents I have via building; apart from writing (which I haven't done in years) it's my main creative outlet.

 

[Adeon Writer]

My avatar, or at least, the most feature-complete version of it, is one of the only reason I go back.

If only I could escape from SL and bring my avatar with me, I probably wouldn't come back.

There are greener pastures... but I am no longer myself.

 

[CronoCloud Creeggan]

While I sometimes joke about how I stay in SL because of the Shoes, that's not the real truth.

SL helps with the dysphoria, and there are fun people to hang out with while treating my dysphoria
And there's fun fashion-doll-play I can do while treating my dysphoria.
Shopping and escapism, while doing the above.
And truly everything else one can do in SL, while treating my dysphoria, after even fashionista moi has lil pony and velociraptor avatars. (Yes, my pony has a red mane and green eyes)

What keeps me in SL ?


My avatar, mostly. Also my place there that i call home.
That i can do stuff there i can't/won't do in RL.
And still being able to be surprised by others what they do or create.

 

[Lucifer]

The opportunity to push Khamon Fate off of his roof.

 

[Daniel Voyager]

I enjoy discovering new places and events

 

[Bea McMahon]

The opportunity to explore an important part of myself in a way that I cannot in RL.
My wonderful, amazing partner.
The fun I have as a DJ, sharing music, exposing people to music they might not have a chance to hear,otherwise.
The people.

 

[Chav Paderborn]

Frieeeeeends. Making things that look broken. Dirt.
