Second Life Project Entropia

I don’t rember the first time I heard about Second Life but it must have been about three years ago, being a frequent web-surfer and being quite up to date on what happens in the online world. Previously I had read about the swedish Project Entropia that is now called Entropia Universe,but not being a gamer. For you non-computer geeks. A gamer is somebody who plays computer games a lot. I have been a frequent user of the internet since I got my first dial-up connection in 1996 (?) but computer games was never really my thing. So I never felt really tempted to join. However previous to start playing Second Life I played The Sims 2 for a month but got frustrated by the limitations of the game and having to deal with everyday stuff like cleaning, working out and such. So I quit.

I first thought of Second Life as a really lame idea for people with no lives. So I resisted joining for a long time. But followed the developemend in different medias. The web, national television etc. Eventually I got too curious about this “game” that was supposed to be like a big chat and an extention to the web. I signed up for an account on 21′th of february 2007. Just to have one. It took some weeks before I downloaded the software.
