Not being one of the super-elite (or lucky registrants) currently beta testing Metaplace, my curiosity is, of course, insatiable. Being in the alpha group on other worlds just tends to disappoint – I suppose I’m more of a beta man. But I’m mostly curious because I’m interested in knowing whether Metaplace will tend towards being a gaming platform or will be broad enough to entertain other approaches.
Well…it’s not much, but a few screen grabs from projects of Raph Koster are at least crumbs to the starving.
I’m also looking forward to trying out Metaplace. If it becomes a competition for Second Life then much better. Hopefully, Second Life will improve. Second Life needs a legitimate competitor right now.
