Let's take this from the top.
Oh my shit!
Interesting deity there.
There's no one around!
Easy fix. Use the in-world search function by hitting Ctrl-F. Search for 'furry' or yiff or horses or Super Mario World Replica or whatever you kids are into these days. Sort by 'Traffic' which is a number describing how busy a place is. Bingo! You will find people. Also helps if you are on at peak times. 5pm-12midnight is rather busy.
I fly around, no one's around. Oh guess what? I'm lost. Great.....>.> No way to get home. I click "Home Point" and I'm back where I started!
Heavy use of landmarking will solve this. A 'landmark' is a bookmark of a place. If you find anything interesting, or if there are any spots that are important to you, landmark em. Landmarks appear in your inventory, and can be renamed at will.
Why else? I have the effing fox suit at the beginning. I'm not even a fox! And I see everyone with these cool sexy fursonas ;-;. Where? How? What? ;-;
You need about 500-1000L$ to get a decent 'suit'. Side point, they are 'furry avatars', and are better searched for via those terms. Recommended spot is the Rocket City Furmeet location in-world. There are others. A quick search for Places>'furry' will give you a nice list.
Anyways, why am I creating this thread? Cause I watched a Second Life Dance >.> And died a little on the inside :/ xD
Dances in-world are fun! They are all about watching your avatar move with animations you could never afford yourself. They are about meeting new people. And the music can be amazing if you look around. I recommend DJ Marx.
And never forget, Xcite scripting isn't real sex! Learn to RP, people!!
Ha, now I look the right geek. :D
