… where everybody knows your name
Although I looooove shopping and could probably sell my inventory for enough money to feed a small country, there are social limitations to the scenario pictured above 
When I started SL I immediately seemed to get involved in large groups right off the bat… owning a club, meeting new people… my circle grew and grew. Then there were breaks from SL, coming back and finding my way through everything.
Breaks are tough on your social slife. Due to the condensed time we enjoy in SL, though you may leave for 30 days, to those on the inside, it will inevitably feel like 30 weeks… at least!
Being somewhat socially inept, I find it hard to be all outgoing and say hey!! tp me! or Hi, can I totally crash your party/shopping trip/hang out? I had much more fun in SL when there was a regular sort of place to go where there was stuff going on or people that I knew were hanging out there.
It was talking to Miss Kitty that got me to thinking about this.
I could go to like Hard Alley, I suppoooooooose, or there’s always Gor. These are rp environments where I imagine you’d get to know other regular rp’ers. But short of wearing a sandwich board declaring “CLAIM ME AS A SLAVE”, there is a dirth of places to GO to interact.
One of the ideas Kitty shared with me was about an apartment complex with a coffee shop… Melrose Place? She also shared the idea of a hospital type rp complete with different departments, saucy love triangles, and a nurses station, ala General Hospital?
All of which sound like fun! My own weak attempt at offering a suggestion was: a Vegas (as in the now canceled NBC Show) scenario RP. Living in a casino – cuz you wouldn’t need to evar! leave! There could be showgirls, and high-rollers, dealers and deadbeats! What Fun!
Not sure where all these ideas go, but they’re fun to think of. What would your ideal rp sim be?
I want Melrose Place *cries*, I’m pretty sure we can’t be the only people out there who want this. We just need to find these people and MAKE them join.
(Totally loving Miss Kitty by the by *huggles*)
I’m with Kitty…I’d definitely hang out sharing gossip in Melrose Pla…
Oh, wait, she said “find these people and MAKE them join.”
Maybe I should retract my initial exuberance…her coercion techniques could prove interesting. ^^

Alice in Wonderland meets Dark Shadows
My RP sim (since I have it, not really fantasizing
) is a primarily fantasy place with a whole bunch of other elements mixed with, save for ‘modern’ and science-fiction. I’m not big on limitations, but I also don’t care for doing stuff that I can do in real life.
That being said, my sim is very relaxed, and I encourage people to both roleplay and just hang out. Again, I want to be more relaxed and just ask that people doing different things respect tone another. No teasing the roleplayers and no tormenting the chatters.
Nice info! Very cool post.I have looked over your blog a few times and I love it.
