Because of Second Life’s customizability, users have the ability to create custom “games” (SL’s equivalent to quests) with the world. Users can create any game imaginable with Second Life (limited of course by theire skill in using the SL scripting language and other tools). The scripting language gives the users the ability to create every essential element of a working MMORPG including hit points and character stats systems.

Currently available games range from first-person shooters, strategy games, puzzle and adventure games to even casino, board, and puzzle games. There are several regions of Second Life dedicated to role playing and most of them resemble ancient medieval towns and futuristic cities.

Aside from this there are regular friendly games of combat being held in Second Life, usually in the official free-fire zones of Jessie and Rausch. Users can also purchase combat vehicles and weapons for use in these events.
