Second Life: Your world, your imagination, but it doesn't end there. Second Life can be used for many things. Networking, starting up a virtual business or extending your First Life/Real Life Business. Some Second Lifers come to SL to roleplay at theme-specific sims/simulators (environments that place your imagination and avatar in a 3D virtual world where you can live). For a moment live as that "person/creature/being" you could only dream and fantasias about.
To get started in second life you will need clothing, an animation override (AO - for unique movement), hair, eyes, and what other little extra you might fancy such as wings, a dragon avatar, horse avatar, mermaid/merman or alien avatar. All content is created by the residents/users of Second Life, and anything can be combined to create your avatar.
Many things can be found on grid-wide hunts that have a start date and an end date. Hunts provide free items that are usually quality goods that may later be found in stores for a price after the hunt ends. One such place to find a hunt is MadPea http://slurl.com/secondlife/MadPea%20Base/104/182/25 . Join the group by searching in world/in game (using the Second Life search feature) for updates on hunts. Hunts are a great way to build your avatar and explore new locations within SecondLife at the same time.
