There are many virtual worlds out there, and each of them is unique in its own way. But they all have the same basic theme, creating a place to be someone different, to do things you can’t necessarily do in real life. But unlike other game styles there is no fixed story, no simple path to follow. So what do you do when you are inside of a virtual world? In this article, we will try to provide you with some options and ideas to fill your valuable time in the world you have chosen to step into.

In any of the virtual worlds available, one of the first things you are asked to do is to create an avatar, a character that represents you in the world. Your avatar is often one of the biggest reasons people play a virtual world, it is also the first, and one of the most customisable options for you to play. The avatar is the extension of yourself in the world, what you look like here is how everyone else will see you.

Many games will give you lots of options for free, from hair colour to the size of your shoes, there are many options for you to pick from. Then of course, there is the clothes that you wear. Often you will start with a limited wardrobe, but as you play you will be able to earn that perfect outfit for you to wear. Some games will also give you the option to be something different, something fantastical like a vampire or an animal. How you choose to present yourself is just the first steps you take into a virtual world.

Once you have your look, its now time to start decorating your home, from a simple blank room you can often end up with huge mansions full of amazing things, pool tables, aquariums and anything you can think of can be found somewhere in the world. Owning property is one of the greatest experiences in a virtual world, and being able to make it into anything you want can take time, but that is time well spent as having that dream home is amazing.

And when you have your dream home, its time to show it off. Virtual worlds are social experiences, as you play and earn that money to build your dream house you will make friends along the way, and when you house is ready you can invite them all over, and some strangers too for a huge party. Have people visit your house and bring their friends too, or go out and visit other peoples places and see what their imaginations created.

But the social activities are not limited to houses, there are nightclubs, beaches, bars and music venues all dedicated to meeting people and having a good time. The music is chosen by whoever owns the venue, and there are often concerts playing videos where you can go dance and have fun. There are also theaters, movie theaters and game arcades for you to explore. If going to the beach or exploring the outside world is more your thing then there are activities and spaces for you to take part in as well.

Many of the virtual worlds have organised events that you can attend, often created by other players, these vary from comedy nights in a special area to huge multi national parties and music concerts. Many of the events are advertised in the world and you can search for them on forums or dedicated websites. You can always find something to do if you can find the events postings.

Virtual worlds are not all about the partying, like in any setting, there needs to be shops to buy things from, someone to organise that party, somewhere to have it. All of these things are run by other players as businesses. Inside of a virtual world, you can become a true entrepreneur and start your own business. Designing and running your own part of a virtual world gives you a huge amount of possibilities. You can earn money inside of the game, and there is the possibility of earning real money too.

If your are more into the arts, there are theaters, galleries and exhibitions of virtual art available for you. You can also place your own art into galleries, or provide entertainment for other players, either through organising your own events, or finding a venue that show the kind of entertainment that you can provide.

Within a virtual world, you have the ability to create anything that you want. If you like to collect things, or create model railways you have the option to do so. If you like to roleplay or you can give educational lectures there is a place you can go to, or create yourself to allow you to do those things. There are social groups and clubs for almost anything you can think of. Virtual worlds allow you to create your own small piece of paradise.

The only real limitation to some of the virtual worlds out there is your imagination. While some only provide you with specific clothes, or house items, others give you the tools to make and create your own personal heaven, or hell as you wish. Start your own fashion line that suddenly everyone is wearing, or design, build and sell houses to people, the possibilities are endless.

Virtual worlds are interactive, often beautiful places that allow you to express yourself, and enjoy the creations of other people. You can make friends, even form relationships inside of these worlds. And along the way you will find many things that you enjoy, and want to share with others. Don’t forget to look your best while you explore the thousands of possibilities inside your chosen world.
