Virtual Worlds

How many are there?  Who do they cater to?  What are the pros and cons of each?  What kind of reviews do they get?  Who has this info?  Where's a list with good and quick at-a-glance info and links?  There are gaming blogs and sites all over the place, right?

We had a list of virtual worlds on RLetc.com that was pretty extensive, some 30 or 40 sites or more on the list, but it would take me a while to build up a list like that again, I think, assuming I should decide to, that is.

I'll start here.

1. 3D Chat
2. Active Worlds
3. Blue Mars
4. Cybertown
5. DC Universe Online
6. Dungeons & Dragons Online
   
7. Entropia Universe
8. EVE Online
9. IMVU
10. Inworldz
11. Muse
12. OpenSim
13. Second Life
14. Star Trek Online (STO)
15. Utherverse
16. World of Warcraft

I think I'll end there too.


There's a lot of 'em about!  (I say we get together a petition to get Scott Jennings to do a review and keep it current.  Who's with me?  lol  I'd try to wrangle Stephie, but I'm averse to claw marks.)


Here are some sites that list and review virtual worlds:

1. Game Ogre
2. mmohut Game List
3. Virtual World
4. Virtual Worlds 3D
5. Virtual Worlds Review
