What went wrong with Second Life?

So I will: Roughly summarized, Second Life missed its chance at mass market success by having heavy hardware requirements, a complicated user interface, and a confusing user experience that was not designed as a game even though the vast majority of its potential userbase wanted to play it as a game.

Yet Second Life still has at least 600,000 active users. The California-based writer was contracted by Linden Labs as an embedded Second Life journalist for three years, and has continued to document the virtual-reality genre ever since at nwn.blogs.com.

Is there anything better than Second Life?

There are more than 25 alternatives to Second Life for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone and Linux. The best alternative is Avakin Life, which is free. Other great apps like Second Life are Mozilla Hubs (Free, Open Source), VRChat (Free), Tower Unite (Paid) and Furcadia (Free).

Youd be forgiven if you thought Second Life had met the same fate as other lost sites from the early aughts. Linden Lab, the 2003 creator of the multiplayer world, declined to give me current numbers, but in 2013 Second Life reported more than one million monthly users.
