Second Lifers raise funds for car accident victim

For videogames and typical MMOs, help usually comes in the form of co-op gameplay or multiplayer mode. That is why it is so interesting to note that Second Life offers a more real sense to the word “help”. Recently, Second Life gamer Shane Stilman was involved in a frightening vehicular accident. The incident was too horrible, it almost took the resident’s life. She is now in Artificial Isle Hospital in Seonhan under critical care.

As a response, the Sandbox of the said place began Shane-Aide, a benefit program for raising funds to help cover Shane’s medical costs.  While donations are accepted, the majority of the money are expected to come from items being sold by Sandbox. Accordingly, requests may be made for special builds of 500 prims or less then sold for 1,000 L. Copies may be sold as well.

Well, it always feels good to give and be of service. We could only conclude that such events within the virtual community of Second Life are one of the many reasons for its steady success – and making it seem more “real” compared to other MMOs.
