Editing Alpin Criss (section)

===Coming to Second Life(tm)===
Alpin Criss rezzed into the virtual world of Second Life(tm) shortly before Christmas of 2008. He learned of Second Life (tm) through various news articles that were published throughout 2008 about SL residents whom made livings off of Second Life (tm). Alpin's gave Second Life (tm) a try because he had a passion for online gaming and was tired of paying monthly fees to play games like World of Warcraft (tm). Alpin spent his first few weeks in the metaverse like most other new residents... bouncing around attempting to figure out what there was one could actually "do" on Second Life (tm).

Much to his dismay, there wasn't much that one could easily get into without spending thousands of Lindens to merely give it a try.

His early experiences trying to find something interesting to get involved in would shape his later philosophy about distributing as many of his creations for free so that other SL residents could have something to "do" and enjoy without the hefty price tag associated with much of SL content.
