Visiting Places in SL
When you arrive at your new location have a wander round. You might find that your surroundings take a long time to load up, but this is quite normal so just wait for everything to appear. Don’t stay standing on your landing spot for too long, as someone else might teleport there, and you could find yourself being kicked or landed on by another avatar. Once you have had a proper look around, take the time to look at the top of the screen. You’ll be able to see your new location and the PG/mature rating of the land. You will probably also see some other symbols to the side of your screen telling you what you can and can’t do in the land. Hover your mouse over these symbols to see what they mean for your avatar. Alternatively, refer to the list of meanings below: Flying is not enabled. (People can fly into the land or over it, but they cannot start to fly while here.) Building is not enabled for visitors. Visitors may not run scripts. Pushing (using weapons that push other avatars) is not allowed. The area is voice enabled. This represents your health for damage-enabled areas, where you can be harmed and may actually die. If you die, you are teleported back to your home location in SL. (You can set your home location on land you own by going to WORLD and SET HOME. The default home location is your first location in SL.)
Music in SL Many venues have radios links or live DJs playing music, so turn on your music button at the bottom of your viewer to listen. If you give your DJ a tip they will often play your favourite song.
