Virtual Worlds & Second Life
(October 09 - News)!
Virtual world's October 09 news: What's up ?
Novelties at Virtual-Worlds-Info.com:
I have added new content to the website this month. I have enhanced 3 pages with forms. These forms located at the end of the page allow you to add your own content to the virtual worlds Info website. These pages are the next ones:
Tell us about your best Second Life location. (only locations in Second Life allowed here :)
Send us a pic of your avatar and tell us about it. You can send a pic of an avatar from any virtual world not only Second Life.
Let us know which is your virtual world and your opinion about it. Obviously any virtual world is also welcomed here.
I would recommend that you add always a pic to your submission. Links or Youtube embedded code is also fine but you can't include html in the form, I will do it for you during editing.
Once I receive a submission I review it and after making any corrections, if needed, I can add it to the website. Each submission creates a new page on the website accesible by the list of links appearing under the corresponding form. You can send comments and ratings for any submission :)
If you have doubts about the content you can submit, I have included a submission example for the 3 forms:
Second Life Location (Example), Avatar (Example), Virtual World (Example).
A bit more of clarification: I will add only virtual worlds, locations or avatars that you interact with using your computer, gaming console, etc. If they are only in your imagination, in a book or in a film please don't send them ;)
First 25 Submissions added to the site will receive a 325 linden dollars free gift to purchase a Second Life DCS2 package (read more about this in the Onix1 Island section of this newsletter below) and also a Lasertag package. Contact, by IM or Note, Sex4all Eros in world with the email you used for the submission to receive your free gift.
I will be waiting for your submissions!, lets make this website a nice place to share interesting information, content and opinions. :)

What's new at Onix1 Island in Second Life:
We have added DCS2 (Dynamic Combat System 2.0) to Onix1 Island. Now you can enjoy Role playing and combat in the island. In order to play you need the DCS2 package which can be found at the Onix1 Island Mall (It's the giant vendor shown on the 3 floor mall building over the main entrance). There is also another DCS2 vendor at the entrance of the adult club just on the right hand side.
The cost of the DCS2 package is just 75 lins (linden dollars). The package includes the system, a hud, instructions and some weapons and objects. We have created a game with 21 characters, each one with 3 classes, there are up to 45 powers in the game and 20 levels. You control the game in-world and also through the DCS2 website.
We have also set a DCS2 Onix group, I will use the group to send messages to players and updated versions of the DCS2 onix note. In this note I will specify the basic information of the DCS2 system done specially for Onix1 Island: Type of chars, classes, powers, game and chars backgrounds, what you need to play and other features. The DCS2 is complex to set so we expect to improve the game over time. The first months will be used also for testing and solving problems appearing.
The game background is simple: The different characters (races) will meet in Onix1 Island through a multidimensional portal. They will fight in the island between them as only one can reign in the multiverse!
Join the DCS2 group (you can ask any Onix1 Island officer, owner in world or contact with Sex4all Eros), purchase your DCS2 package, start playing and have fun!
There are 4 ads of Onix1 Island (1 for each parcel), find them using the "classifieds" tab of the "search" button in your Second Life Viewer.
Remember that Onix1 Island is an "adult" region (+18).
There are just 2 simple things you have to do to have access to Onix1 Island and any other "adult" content in Second Life:
1st. You should verify your age. In order to do this you have to go to Second Life Website and log in with your main avatar entering your second life name and password to access your account. Once in your account you will see the Dashboard page. In this page you select the option "account" on the top left hand side of the screen and from the options given you choose "Age Verification". You will get an easy form to fill out where you will have to give information about one of your real life identification documents, you submit the form and it's done!.
2nd You should activate "adult" content in your Second Life Viewer. You log into the viewer (always use the last version) with your main "avatar" (the one you have age verified). You go to the edit option on the top menu. From the drop down edit menu you select "preferences". In the "general" tab of preferences you go to: rating: I want to access content rated... and from the drop down menu given you select: Pg, mature and adult and it's done!.
From now on you can access to PG, mature and Adult content in Second Life ;).
Interested in shopping ?. Check our 3 floor Onix1 Island Mall, with great products and services some fully exclusive.
If you are looking for “adult” products and services, take a look at the Adult Spot, the Adult Shop & Playground and the Adult Club. Find the best adult products and services at these locations.
