Second Life urban combat

Ever wanted to be a gangster, cop or firefighter? Second Life has a few urban combat sims that will let you do just that. I have spoken about Second Life before, but I am going to be a bit spacific. If you are a Second  Lifer then you may be familure with some of the sims I am about to name. One is brand new as in a week old. Others have been around a while. One such sim that has notariaty in Second Life is called Danger Point. Danger Point is one of the  urban sims you can drive cars and fly hellecopters . For about a year Danger Point was one of those sims that was dorment and not used much by people. Sense it has become more populer, it has been subject to griefers and those who don't follow sim rules as well as harrassment by other users on the sim. I expierienced it where the owner didn't do anything about the griefing or harrassment even if you braught him proof. It is pretty much unorganised caos. Yet, I or other decent users that follow the rules get yelled at by the owner and admins when we try to even the fight. Even with combat huds, the gangs wait till you are back on your feet and kill you again right away. In Second Life we call that corps camping. On the opposite side we have Vivid City. This sim just opened a week ago and from my expierience is ran quite well. The owners and admins seem friendly. their Police force is more realistic. So far it has prooven to be well organised. A walk down the street and you wont get shot. The police and fire departments on that sim are fairly organised and active. It is still new but is gaining popularity from the former Danger Point user base. If its heros you want there are urban sims for that as well. Gotham/Arkam Assylam used to be very populer in urban RP/Hero RP till it closed down. So if you want to play in an urban scenerio, take your pick there are a few choices out there. See you in Vivid City.
