It is a digital 3-d world created by its residents. You can see that on the official site, but I think that does not explain to outsiders hot it is inside of the “game”. Most of you should know games like World of Warcraft and i´m sure that you think SL has to be something similar. But it is not. You can think of SL as an empty Planet. The only thing that is provided by the designers is the earth under your digital feets. This word is separated in islands that are called SIMs. I´m sure you got already where this is leading to. We, the players (called residents) have to build all things self in there. That is why you can see so much different stuff in Second Life.
Vore in Second Life
Yes, there is Vore too in Second Life. I´m sure you associate it with great animations but I have to disappoint you there. Sure, there are some animations, but there are far from really satisfying. What we do is roleplay. Of cause you don´t need to play SL for Roleplay, but in there you can look how you want. You can be a Naga (like me), a dragon, a human, a furry and and and… It simply is a great feeling to sit together with other Vorarephiles and eat or be eaten.
Getting started
To participate in the world of Second Life you need to make an account. You can create it here: http://secondlife.com/ After that you have to download the client. Normally you should have been redirected to the download site, but here is the link: http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php
After you logged in you should be on an orientation island where you can make some tutorials. You should read them and pay attention to it
Time for your avatar
Now is the time where you should start to do something about the appearance of your avatar. There are two ways how you can do it:
1.)Use Freebies
2.)Pay for it
Freebies
There are some Freebies in Second Life so you can have an avatar that looks not too bad without paying for it. The most freebies are for human avatars. For some landmarks look at the end of the thread. Normally you can see that a person is using freebies.
Pay for it
For most of the available stuff you have to pay Lindendollars. You can buy them at some sites with real money (and change it back if you want later) or you can earn it by doing a job in SL. But for newbies to get a job without a good looking avatar is near to impossible. So the best you can do is change some of your money into Lindendollars. You can make it at various sites, but please make it only there, where Lindenlab gave an official permission to the traders. Here are some of these sites:

You should make it with a paypal account. For a good furry avatar you need about 500-1000 Lindendollars. If you want a human avatar it is a bit more expensive, because you need more things like skin, shape, hairs, clothes, shoes… so you should get at least 5k L$. After you have your money you should go shopping with a resident that knows where you can get good stuff. Just ask in the Second Life Vore Club for help.

) and/or 3D modeling (though building in SL is more like constructing from LEGO - you have a set of prims with options and you combine a figure from them - or use sculpted prims, but that's a little more complicated - but is worth it if you're good with Blender) - then you shouldn't have much problems with earning some L$
