Shouldn't this be in the "Computer Games" forum?
I never realised it was still going. I know there was a hoo-har with it a couple of years ago when some beta-testers started up a full blown WW2 system and took over all the servers. IT was quite fun to watch it all unfold - the axis and allies joining forces to morter the crap out of some of the towns and snipers picking off the rest of the 'civilians'. The makers ended up givining them their own set of servers just to keep them away.
It's pretty amazing what you can do on there, if they haven't cut back on what you can do that is.
Lots of fun if you like that sort of thing, but it will suck all of your "first" life away playing it if your not careful!

I've dabbled in Second Life. A few colleagues are far more serious about it, and are now full time metaverse evangelists. See eightbar for example.
SecondLife isn't really a game, it's an alternate persistent online universe where what you want to do dictates what you get out of it. There is an economy, and the trading of goods and services as there is in real life. There are not (generally) gaming concepts such as levelling up, fighting etc that you get in the likes of WOW.

Just like Pistonheads then?
Had seen lots of hype about it in the papers a few months back, but to be honest, not been too desparate to go look.
