Second Life by Linden Lab is another new world in the Beta-testing stage. You can sign up as beta-tester now. From what they say on the frontpage, it seems that it would be pretty much like Sims Online, just not built on a previously known game concept.
I wonder what is going to happen when all these new worlds hit the commercial market next year? How many will perish because no-one visits them? Is it a fad? Or are massive multiplayer worlds here to stay as an intrinsic part of our future gaming experiences? ....A poster on EdGames says: "Who's got time enough for one life, let alone a second?" Maybe that's the core problem, some of these world designers forget.
