Today I searched for another role-playing based world, this one was rooted in the Tolkein universe (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eldamar/174/179/62). I quickly realized that it wasn't actually a role-play area when I wasn't immediately surrounded by an influx of nerdy elves and dwarves. Instead, it was a 2L area built to resemble the structure and culture of Tolkein's elves, but with shopping areas and a transportation system built into it like other 2L areas.



It was interesting to note that the area was completely devoid of people - here was something that an individual or group of people obviously put a lot of work into that no one was enjoying. In the mean time, in the spam zones there are always plenty of avatars dancing for money. I think it says something about the values of our society that this ends up being the case - that people will sacrifice their ability to experience beauty and see significant things in return for a small profit.
