According to
Wikipedia, (2014) Role playing is refers to as “taking a role of an existing
character or person and acting it out with a partner taking someone else's
role, often involving different genres of practice”
We have all sometime in our lives, role
played, beginning in childhood when our imagination was running wild. For
example, boys pretending to be superheroes by jumping off of household furniture
and being yelled at by mothers saying, “this is not a playground!” Little girls
may have role played being a princess or even acted out scenarios using Barbies with friends. Role play has
evolved significantly from those times with the rapid expansion of technology
and more adults are participating in creative ways.
Role play in Second Life has a large
community. From vampires, fairies, lycans and furries characters to ancient,
medieval and combat sims where RP residents can actually play whatever
role they would like with their friends from real world history, popular video
game, movie or computer game story lines.
If you have always wanted to RP but do not
know where to go, here is a list of locations in Second Life to explore. Keep
in mind that there are many different genres of role play out there that can be
found using the Second Life search engine.
