Welcome and General Introduction!

Hello and thank you for viewing this first post of my new blog. A famous line i once heard was "if there's an elephant in the room, then you should introduce it!" So you being kind enough to read my blog, it is only right that I return the favor by introducing myself and my new company, to which this blog pertains.

Firstly, I'm Soren Reinard: an avatar and avid user of Second Life. For those that may not know much about it, in a nutshell, Second Life can be categorized as a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) or a Virtual World. I prefer the latter definition, as role playing and combat games form just a small set of the massive number of things one can do there. The users create their own purposes in this world. There's more info on the link provided.

One feature that I will discuss here is the economics of second life (SL). In this cyber universe, users can create items and services that other users can buy, to enhance their experience. The virtual currency, "linden dollars" or "lindens", can be transformed into real currency and vice versa. Some SL business-people have aspirations for virtual income that supports their real life expenses, and some even achieve this goal succesfully. Others have more modest goals for a virtual income that can support their virtual expenses.

I've developed a small business that is inspired from my personal use of second life. In recent times, I have been "combat roll playing". As the users of second life create their purposes, users with an interest like me decided to come together and form combat simulations. Think of it as being able to go to a chat room, make friends across the world, and be able to play mortal kombat with them. Except, you get to create and design your own character. With this creation process comes the requirement for outfits, health meters and most importantly, weapons.

Thus was born SR Systems. Playing in Japanese and Chinese sims, I decided to try and bring my imagination to virtual life. Being a passionate student of Jow Ga Kung Fu in real life, I decided to bring what I know from real world kung fu into the virtual world. Ofcourse, being realistic does not mean being boring, and so the animations i develop for my weapons are intended to be fun and flashy as well. For those familiar with combat in second life, my weapons work with DCS2, CCS and Warps. And for those simply looking for great animations, they work equally well to impress your friends.

I will detail each of my creations in the coming posts, but please feel free to contact me if you have any questions - either here or inworld. If you'd like to view my weapons feel free to visit my store in world at SR Systems Mainstore or check out my listings on xstreetsl

Thank and see you next time!
