That Was A Waste Of Time

[mandysee_mandydo]

painted_wolf had already signed up for Second Life and I decided I might as well give it a try. Several of my friends onine have mentioned it and it looked interesting if nothing else. I went to the Second Life site and tried to sign up. I went through all of the effort to create an account and received an error message stating registration was unavailable because I cannot have multiple accounts. Well, that's funny because I never signed up before and PW signed up on her own lappy from a different IP address and using her own email address. WTF?

So I figured there must be something wrong. I figured I would try to contact Linden Labs to let them know their system was telling me I already have an account when I most assuredly don't. You can't. They give you a phone number for billing support but beyond that the only way you can contact them for help with Second Life that I can find is by submitting a support ticket. Which requires an account. Which doesn't help if the issue you're having in the first place is their system not creating an account for you.

Needless to say Second Life didn't really work for me and I won't waste any more time with it.

Just took a quick peek and it looks like you'd need to do the following if interested:

Go to the Support Page
Click "Submit Ticket" or whatever its exactly called
Use your email address through the guest account to let them know

are you going through a wireless router or a hub? just wondering because that happened to me in college we had a hub in the room with computers attached and we used to get the same issue... just a thought, probably wrong...
