Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Yes. We offer private islands from $10/mo (free as long as you log in at least once every 7 days), free unlimited uploads, and no mandatory membership fees, eliminating the core costs associated with Second Life.

Simply create your free Alife Virtual account. A 256x256m private island (65,536 sqm) is automatically assigned to you, with no credit card required.

Absolutely! Alife Virtual has its own viewer, the Alife Virtual Firestorm Viewer, which works just like the Firestorm you know from Second Life. Log in with the Alife Virtual Firestorm Viewer (AVATAR tab on our website) using the Avatar Name and password you chose at registration.

That's correct. We believe creators shouldn't be penalized for creating. All uploads of textures, mesh, animations, and sounds are 100% free, forever.

After your first month, you can choose to keep your island for a low monthly fee that is a fraction of Second Life's tier, or you can explore other land options. You are never forced to pay for land.

Both 7-day trials run on the same servers our paying customers use. No card or PayPal is needed to request a free trial — you must be logged in and choose an avatar. One free 7 days per sim type: you can try a premade sim and an empty sim, each once.
