Stumble it!

Some time ago Professor Peter Yellowlees created a “metaverse” (ie, metaphysical universe), a three-dimensional world whose users, or “residents”, can create and be anything they want. This virtual online world, orginally created to teach students about schizophrenia, has students and advertisers wanting more.

I'd rather The Sims 2 than this piece of crap!

Im with you B86, I installed the simulation a few months ago to see how it plays... Worst graphics, laggy responce, shit control. Its impossible to find a good place on the map because there are over 100,000 places to goto and most of them are peices of shit, then when you finally find a good place... what do you do there? Look around for 5 minutes before becoming bored, then try to interact with things, all you do is dance, sit down, wave or other badly crafted model animations. There are communal places (if you can find them) and most of the people are going around shopping for crap, noone talks to anyone when you walk down the street, and when you get to the shops it takes 30mins to find something slightly good, but it costs you USD$5 for an airplane, why would I pay $5 real money for some crappy custom coding? Maybe I can fly around sitting and be bored rather than just fly standing, probably at the same speed with same movement control.

Does anyone know why people stay there? Maybe they've never played a game in thier life

Bonny has a point. Then again they arnt looking for a game. But even being a addicited gamer myself I have to ask..wtf?

Maybe they ought to spend 3 hours in something like WoW and realize paying 5 (real) dollars is bloody absurd for a trip to a place thats not really there for a means that holds no conseqeunce.

atleast you know your $10-30 dollars a month for MMOs goes to keeping the game updated and running.
