My second rezday is in a few months, so I like to think that I’ve seen a good variety of what Second Life has to offer. The TokyoZERO shops, however, may be the most pointless place I have ever visited.
Imagine, if you will, an island covered with a maze of lovely paved paths lined with quaint little shops. You enter a store and click on one of the many boxes that shows an image of a rel life product. Much to your surprise you are offered a link to a web site… where you can buy that real life product. In real life.
Now repeat this experience on another 21 islands.
That’s right. TokyoZERO has a total of 22 of these 3-D shopping malls. I don’t get it. How is this any better than shopping on a web site? Sure, it’s slower, less organized, and you’re constantly being taken away from your immersive Second Life experience to look at a web page, but other than that, it makes perfect sense!
