Is anyone involve in a Florida virtual world? I was reading on the Wall Street Journal that millions of individuals are living a second life fantasy by joining this type of forum. People can create them self anyway you want to be, thin, fat, tall, short, rich, poor, etc. No hurricane in your Florida... You name it, you got it.

A virtual world is a computer-based simulated environment intended for its users to inhabit and interact via avatars. This habitation usually is represented in the form of two or three-dimensional graphical representations of humanoids (or other graphical or text-based avatars). Some, but not all, virtual worlds allow for multiple users.

The world being computer-simulated typically appears similar to the real world, with real world rules such as gravity, topography, locomotion, real-time actions, and communication. Communication has, until recently, been in the form of text, but now real-time voice communication using VOIP is available. This type of virtual world is now most common in massively multiplayer online games (Active Worlds, There, Second Life--although not games, per se, but more like virtual environments that can include gaming--Entropia Universe, The Sims Online, Red Light Center, Kaneva, Weblo), particularly massively multiplayer online role-playing games such as EverQuest, Ultima Online, Lineage, World of Warcraft, or Guild Wars.

No thanks....if I was going to create a virtual world to live in...it would have gorgeous mountain views and year round temps of 50 - 75 degrees. I would live on 50-60 acres surrounded by animals and the woods and be able to work from home. There's my perfect virtual world! LOL

Great plan that only some can achieve.... Other like the millions that can't will probably do something else or just dream about their desires and wake-up to ones reality...

Mine would have chocolate, cats and animals wandering around freely. I would finally have made it in my craft and the world would be my office. There would be no crime in my world.
