I recently signed up for the free trial account at SecondLife.com, an incredible massively multiplayer online role playing game (mmorpg)... I don't normally play these games and I've never signed up for any other one before.

I heard about it on slashdot, it has also been on featured on FARK, CNN, Time and several TV news spots. It's really fun, it's like a virtual world that you can fly around in (literally) and become anyone you want... you can even make money, buy land, the possibilities are endless...

I joined the largest Mafia group just 3 days after I started and am also part of a Creative writing group who meets in their Second Life to share poetry and stories.

Just wondering if anyone else had an account or had heard about it. Let me know if you want more info or want to meet up in the game. I would encourage anyone to at least check out the free 7 day trial. Enjoy.
