Virtually Life / Multiverse
Virtually Life is a neat video made within SL. Just thought it was neat.
Multiverse
According to some reports this is supposed to be the new competitor for Second Life. I LOL’d after looking at it to say the least. It was released a few days ago and honestly it sucks. It has bad graphics and doesn’t even have decent gameplay. Yes it may still be new, but I’m not seeing anything worth sticking around for in the engine. It took far too long to download once in the game, and if every world will require you to spent 30 minutes download it’s not worth it. There was a choice of 4 avatars to choose from in the world I entered, which isn’t enough to call it “customization”. They may claim is this going to give Second Life a run for its money, but I can’t see it happening. I think the articles meant to say that it will be a competitor for Activeworlds, because it’s nowhere near the level that second life is at.
