Linden Labs left things a bit too free-form. What happens when you let people do what they want in a virtual reality? They go up the Maslow Need Hierarchy.

Food, safety, shelter, etc aren't an issue, so they zoom up the needs hierarchy and stop at sex. There needs to be an overarching theme to focus people. Online worlds need to have needs. Otherwise, they can't get too far beyond being a glorified Garry's Mod server. It's like a musical jam session with no structure at all. That kind of thing only works if people already know each other. In public, it's always too chaotic.
