I really enjoyed my time in Second Life. But, unfortunately, they need to do much more in the graphics department as well as allowing users to be able to control what they see from their own parcel. What killed this virtual world for me was dropping $200 on some new mainland (sorry not interested in estates, I want to be able to do what I want) only to see it quickly invaded by spammers who split the parcels up into the tiniest size possible and put ad cubes up all over the place. It killed immersion. It would have been nice if I could disable objects from being "viewed" from my own parcel but LL does not provide enough tools to land owners who truly wish to make their own worlds (and this SHOULD include what I see and don't see from my parcel). In the end, there isn't much done to curb ad spammers. I love the concept of a virtual world, but I'll be waiting for a next-gen version to appear.
