I haven't been on SL in ages :/
Mostly because I'm so busy doing merstuff iRL, heh.
But yea, I would love a year-round warm, suitable swimspace for myself.
Winter sucks in merterms.

Sl is the only place i can for a mer swim since i dont have a tail yet but it would be nice to change that.
Maybe I should join? :) looks like fun
It is fun OceanWhisper. I try to get on daily if I can.
I don't know why it never occurred to me that you could make merpeople in second life. Remedied that today. If anyone is down for SL shenanigans or mer-roleplays my name is AquaRaider.
Has anyone ever found any active mer-roleplays on SL?

Iv found a good few on rp sims Aquatic Raider but not many outside of that really though.
wow Raider, that tail is beautiful!
There is a mer RP community in Mystara. Maybe in Estara, too.
I'm on very seldom sadly, so I cannot say how active they are, but last I was, there were people there.
Well Mystara is closing down on March 10th officially. :/ The owner Annie can no longer keep all three sims going. There is a swimable place that's not as beautiful in the Sim Convergence outside the city. Mystara is a very active community, and I was co-lead for the merfolk for awhile. I'm sad to see it go after playing there for three years as well as a Mentor. The Isle of Eyr will be opening up by the Fae lead Joshua, Annie as the builder. I'm not sure how long that will last sadly, or if one sim will have enough for an underwater area.:(
Also come check out my Second Life Store. I do have a couple things up, and a mertail for sale ^__^

Yeah! They are mostly in roleplay communities. My name is Reiko Mayo on Sl, come and find me. If I'm not busy Admining the Sim Convergence. ^__^ I play a merman there named Reiko Fastuosa Datura.Quote:

In SL we also have our own mer terminology for language for when were off sim. A few other mesh-tail makers are on there working on the better tails. Jomo, Kol makes the cheaper end tails that look better. Just make sure when purchasing a SL tail, if its under 200L it's most likely non mesh and don't flow easily like a real fish tail. ^__^Attachment 27680 This is an example of the tail that I have for me that I made. Its partial mesh and typically this type of tail would be 200-400L in second life. They even have full mesh avatars out there for mer, but unfortunately you can't adjust the body, the way you would like. You loose your ability to customize but still you have that ability. If anyone have any further questions on SL, don't hesitate to ask. I have been active on there since April 2007. :)
aw no :(Quote:

It's what keeps me from logging too frequently.
You never know when the wonderful places that were there will be gone, and instead you will be greeted by a robot who threatens to log you off if you don't "vanish this instant!!"
And hundreds of red off-limits zones if you just want to fly a bit around and explore.
I can understand why people make their own servers.
My dream would be to export my SL stuff and avatars (and some of the UI) into a real MMO.
That'd be awesome lol.
I used to love playing around in SL! I used to frequent Fanci's deep and Morgan's Straits before it closed down. I stopped playing after I briefly dated a pirate from there who ended up being a bit of a con man... be careful who you meet on SL in RL! Lol.
Man I signed up for second life a few days ago and it is amazing. My name is bennett999 on SL if you want to add me
i actually never heard of second life until now. ill look in to it
OKAY!!! So I just joined this second life thing.... I love it already and all I have done is fly around a bit :3 how to I get a tail and swim??? ive been to this place to get a free tail...but whenever I get it, my body doesn't change or anything..... help!!!!
So I kind of figured out how to get my tail on... but now I am swimming around with just a fluke.... I am literally not wearing pants... I have no idea what I'm doing o.o
Is your tail mesh?
If yes, you lose your lower body and it's replaced with the sculpted fluke, so no worries.
To change back, you might need to wear the "reverse-mesh" item after taking off the tail, and then put your clothes back on.
There are also prim tails/flukes, which are simply added on top of your pants (the pants themselves become the tailbody), but they are going out of style despite the animations being better.
I play Secondlife. It's been a wonderful creative outlet for me. If I'm stressed or have art block, I tend to mess around with avatars or photography. :)
My username is Moxie Venom.
I hope these pictures arn't too big. If so, I'll remove them and add a link instead~

I really enjoy Second Life as a creative outlet too! It helps with my mermaid-cravings when I can't get into the water.
I saw mystara mentioned earlier in the thread. it did close down, but there's a new sim that's a spin-off of sorts called Mysts of Eyr. the build is absolutely stunning, especially the underwater areas for merms. there are sea-caves, an amazing custom coral reef build (with little kelp nests for merms to sleep or sit in), and waterways that connect mer to ponds and lakes and almost every area of the sim! no little pond in the corner like other RP sims.
There's also a mer-themed shopping even going on right now called Enchantment. Lots of cool merm-stuffs there, so i recommend checking it out! Just look for it in search.
I'm happy to help anyone from mernetwork with getting set up with a tail and everything in SL, so feel free to add me (Azaiya Aeon), and just let me know who you are!
