More worlds than just Second Life

Dan Taylor at Fabric of Folly points out (and quite rightly) that there's a lot more virtual worlds out there than just Second Life. If you follow the mainstream media, you could be forgiven for missing them. There's a wide variety of them out there, and although Second Life is my home, I certainly like to get out and about and see what else there is on offer.

Taylor lists 50 virtual worlds - well, some are worlds, some are MMO games, and some are a bit hard to classify, but let's go with worlds for want of a better term - ordered by approximated user numbers. The definitions vary, so don't take the numbers as gospel.

It's an area that is growing (ahem) massively, and there's worlds out there that are definitely worth your attention. See Taylor's list and take a peek at what you might be missing out on.
