Secondlife is for purpose of making business and chat. Those who love to play games on the sandbox will totally be upset about how it works (Option for fighting games is totally limited). For businesses, its actually open-ended means people can easily sell almost everything on secondlife. In my opinion, the business in SL can even involve real-life money I think.
If you want to test on your games and stuff they will want you to oblige to there so called TOS. Means if you wish to have a good time will only be allowed to have it based on LL definition of "FUN". Whoever they thought violates the LL terms will permanently be banned without notice (Not even an email of soft reminder)
Every week they will have maintenances (Phone call, and they will tp you to someplace or disconnected you while they need to do the maintenance job).
The problem is too many laggy and glitches that somehow can't be resolve by SL. Forfailcing people to always face disconnected when you want to TP places.
Other failed factors are some items that you have bought will be gone from your inventory (Even you already paid them)~ no guarantee the goods will returned back to you. Some other items can be retrieved easily.I think the worst problem there was laggy for the premium house.
Those problems have never been fixed.
Briefly yes you are allowed to go visit places in the world but some unethical things also need to be considered in it.
I think some good thing that trying to impress right off now is upgrading 1. the definition of visiting General, moderate and adult land.
2. Managing on your Biography profile that can change the profile review based on the maturity value you share on your profile
3. Profile Pictures? Like Nude photos and Sexual content ~ it think this one still under progress.
I repeat its not a game at all its a simulation world for all those designers. Mainly for those who wish to make money and love chatting but if you wish for the thought of having fun and do your own quest, may need to consider other games rather then Secondlife because in my opinion its only have limited games and most games are for premium members which somehow some games totally limited access and need you to pay money.
I lost all my money here anyways but realized too late. Just don't get too addicted. Cause you never know when you realized it happened you regret it later. For works is ok but for fun its a NO NO
