Make your own world.

It sounds appealing, doesn’t it? Well, it’s quite possible you can create the next World of Warcraft or SecondLife yourself, but without all the programming overhead. At least, that’s what the folks over at Metaplace are telling the media. Now, personally, I think it’s a great idea, especially when you combine it with that site I was talking about the other week, Galaxiki. You could make your own science-fiction setting and then let people adventure in it.

Sadly, there’s not much of a 3d client for this yet, and when I checked last the website was being hammered by multiple news sites linking to it. So, while you’re waiting for them to come back up, check out these crazy costumes from the World of Warcraft convention last month.
