Second Life Game.
People have been telling me about that Second Life Game, so I decided to make an account. The first time, it asked for mobile to send text for code to autherize, so five hours later, I still got nothing, yahooed if anyone else had that issue and someone said my phone service might not recieve the text.
So I tried PayPal, that didn't work out either.
I tried a couple times again just to make sure, and then I just decided I'm going to ask my friend for their phone number and do it that way. But now Second Life says that I've made too many accounts and now I can't make anymore.
So what am I supposed to do now?!
I can never try to make an account at Second Life ever again?!

It uses your phone number to verify that you only have one account. Since your friend used her phone number to activate SL, you can't use it again.
Activation through Paypal didn't work because your Paypal account isn't verified. You must add a bank account to verify your Paypal account. Then create a *new* SL account and activate it with the paypal account that you just verified. If you get an error, call SL support.

Do NOT play second life.
Its not what you think. Its a fucked up haven for some of the most messed up people online. Probably more than half of what goes on there involves screwed up sex roleplay.
Here is a direct quote from an article about it.
DAVID D. EWALT — Here's the ultimate problem with Second Life: unless you're some kind of sexual deviant who gets off by pretending to be a diaper-wearing man-fox, it's boring as hell. If I want to chat with people, I can do it in IM without having to deal with lag, annoying ambient music, and all manner of freaks of nature. If I want to see cool imaginary worlds, I'll watch a movie. And if I want to really nerd out and pretend I'm some sort of fantastic creature, I'll stick with my Night Elf rogue, thank you. David Ewalt, in Forbes.com, after Sears unveiled the department store's showroom in the Linden Lab's over-hyped virtual world.
Second life is made up of the following kinds of people
- People who try to exploit second life to make money, you can buy and sell virtual property and such. How do they exploit it? Well you can create almost anything you want, so for instance people will buy property around the area they want to buy, and erect houses which are covered in hardcore porn. People who own the property will see this hardcore porn when they log on and obviously get pissed that their property is now surrounded by smut.
- People who exploit second life to make lives miserable for others. An example, someone programmed a weapon that allowed you to instantly boot others from the server by crashing their program. Or, people create an item that duplicates itself infinitely, which crashes the entire server due to overloading it.
Imagine losing a few hours of playtime because someone decided to knock the server offline.
- People who enjoy sexual deviance of some very strange and disturbing varieties. This is the largest segment of the population. Naked avatars having sex with virtual horses is but one example of the varied and screwed up world of second life.
Bottom line, don't go anywhere near it, unless as stated you like pretending you're a fox who wears diapers and has sex with other foxes who also wear diapers.
