    If u do play it tell me what u like about it and stuff. I just tested it 2 days ago and it was very fun compared to many other mmorpgs. The playerbase is also extreemly huge.

    You can also earn real money on this game which is cool. There was a chinese girl eearning 2 million USD in 2 years only by playing the game :)

    The Chinese and Koreans players do things in their online games they call "work" that makes them different than the other players.

    If you want to know what it is you should go watch an anime called Welcome to the NHK.

    There are a lot of cool things in Second Life. I have been involved in educational aspects of SL (there are many good museum sites such as the Exploratorium site).

    You can earn money in SL, but you can earn money on the internet, too. Most people find out that it takes a lot of work, and you have to have a good business model just like starting up a bricks-and-mortar business.

    Just saw Gamer...and this game automatically came to mind even though I have never actually played it.

    On another note...don't see that movie, it's HORRIBLE.

    Do they even chat with you with spelling/typing like that? Those 'mature' players must think you're a kid, LOL. :p

    SL is divided into country groups etc so since am not native english speaker i usually talk with Thai or Norwegian players. When i do talk to native english players i usually tell em am not a native eng;ish speaker
