Read MoreLiverpool, in the UK, has the distinction of having three universities. According to the BBC, Liverpool Hope University, the smallest of the three, recently held an open day wholly within Second Life. Media students spent six months in Second Life building replicas of some of the buildings as well as other elements, such as their ideal student accommodation. Potential students from around the world were then able to interact with student ambassadors for the day. This activity was supported by the head of department and the head of marketing for LHU.Although LHU will be holding a more traditional open day in June, it is exciting to see the acceptance of Second Life both as a venue in which students can be expected to work, and for such a potentially critical activity as assisting student recruitment by the university's administrators. If you would like to see their work, the Liverpool Hope sim appears to be open to the public now.

Read MoreWorlds of fantasy is a series that has run on BBC Four for several weeks. This week's show deals with books, films and "video games" including various clips from MMOGs. It is currently available to UK residents on iPlayer. A quick search on youtube shows previous episodes have made it onto the site, but this programme is not yet there.The show contains material from Terry Prachett, Michael Moorcock, Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman, China Miéville and others as well as material about Tolkein amongst many others. It looks at the development of fantasy books into RPGs (with some painful 70's hairdos as college students are playing table-top AD&D). Around 37 minutes in, it jumps to World of Warcraft, then LoRTO at about 42 minutes in. Being BBC Four there is a lot talk about the cultural significance, the psychology of gaming and the like, but if you enjoy reading fantasy books and watching fantasy films as well as playing your MMOGs you will probably enjoy this hour of television when you get the chance to see it.
