Guild Wars for me (sort of a poor mans World of Warcraft - no monthly fees), have been playing online role playing games for well over 10 years now, how sad is that :-) Even sadder is that my kids are so far ahead of me now in the virtual world that I now have to ask them for help and advice. If my 12yr old knew his maths and science even one quarter as well as he knows the intricacies and tactics of the online games he plays he'd definately be a future rocket scientest.
Did have a quick look at second life - it did at a quick glance seem like a cross between the sims and a cyber sex chat room LoL but the business model of drawing you in and then charging for access to the more 'interesting' areas of the game on a per upgrade basis seemed like it could get very expensive very quickly but it was a quick look and I may be wrong. Looked like it coud be quite addictive though, I'm just too mean to pay for online access.
