Pumeco, ah, yes, I've read about Second Life and how it have proven a popular on-line community for sizable number of furry fans. But I'm not really good at sustaining a roleplaying persona, so I would probably "break character" and dampen the atmosphere of other players. Shoot, I can barely keep up with traditional forums, let alone the newer venues like Second Life, IMVU and similar arrangements. I rarely engaged in tabletop D7D type games for the same reason (unless dragged to one by a friend who was really into those activities). Well, that plus the fact I could never keep the "scoring" systems straight. I mean, one could spend 15 minutes or more in dice throws just to determine if one manged to take a "whiz"! No, I'm not knocking the games; I'm just too easily confused.
I suspect it proved popular with the anthro crowd because the tools allowed for customized avatars functioning in real time, a bit like cosplaying without the physical discomfort (or far greater expense) of a physical costume. Plus, areas are reserved for players to engage in somewhat "mature" scenarios.
But I appreciate the gesture, bringing it to my attention.
Sincerely,
Bill
