As part of our ongoing efforts to engage, support and grow the WorldWorks community at large we will be taking steps to build our presence in 'Second Life'. For those of you that don't know Second Life is a MMOE (Massive Multiplayer Online Environment) which offers users the chance to explore, build and create their very own virtual world and subcultures. It is not confined to a specific set of rules like World of Warcraft but rather allows users to create their own fantasies. It's a very straight forward virtual world that has been growing leaps and bounds over the past 3 years and shows no signs of slowing down. Many companies are now jumping onboard to show their virtual presence in this “Second Life".
WorldWorks will be using Second Life to showcase our model sets in full 3-D so that you can take a virtual walk down the streets of Mayhem or a stroll through CastleWorks Ultimate courtyards (along with our other sets). Users can then buy our products through a web portal linking to the WorldWorks store. We will also be using it as a place to hold virtual conferences and other online events. This is an ambitious project which will take some time to realize but I thought I would give you guys the heads up so that you can familiarize yourselves with the world of Second Life. And for those of you worried about this sapping all of my time please know that I have someone helping me make this all possible. We may even be recruiting from within the community to help us with the construction process (free models for everyone who gets involved
).
You can download a free trial version of Second Life here: http://secondlife.com/ .Build your avatar and then take a running leap and fly around like superman to explore this incredible and growing world. WorldWorks will be there...once we buy some land and start building that is. Keep your eyes on this thread for any updates on our progress.
I'll give it a try I'll be on as myself Deathreaver999! So if you see me smack me and talk too to me!
