]]> By: Later Nerdz » Second Life Releases Client Source under GPL v2 http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/72/comment-page-1#comment-27829 Later Nerdz » Second Life Releases Client Source under GPL v2 Mon, 08 Jan 2007 17:57:29 +0000 http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/72#comment-27829 [...] Linden Labs, developers of the fringe subculture catch-all MMO game Second Life, have released their client’s source code to the public for development under the GNU GPL version 2. It’s amazing news because not long ago this guy was calling for an open source virtual game world based on second life. The release of the client is a good first step. “Stepping up the development of the Second Life Grid to everyone interested, I am proud to announce the availability of the Second Life client source code for you to download, inspect, compile, modify, and use within the guidelines of the GNU GPL version 2.” [...] [...] Linden Labs, developers of the fringe subculture catch-all MMO game Second Life, have released their client’s source code to the public for development under the GNU GPL version 2.

However, I'm interested in the idea of a 3D web, a sort of distributed Second Life using web standards. That's something I've mentioned <a href="http://hippygeek.livejournal.com/48549.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.tola.me.uk/blog/2007/01/08/open_source_second_life" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I've started a <a href="http://hippygeek.co.uk/wiki/3D_Web" rel="nofollow">wiki page</a> posing the question, "What would be required to create a 3D web with a similar user experience to that of online virtual worlds like Second Life?". You can log in with username: iwontspam password: ipromise (or create a new account, or start a wiki page on launchpad somewhere) I'd value everyone's input!

EVERYTHING is player-created. So, if there were not fun things to do, either the commenter did not discover them or he didn't invent them. People want to be spoon-fed and when the system doesnt offer instant gratification, they immediately give it a bad review or talk down about it. Of course SL has issue, what system doesnt? However, second life will eventually be bundled on Linux distros as a SERVER that individuals can run in the same manner they run Apache now. Then with the right resources, you are free to offer any world you wish to the public. People seem to completely misunderstand Second Life and its purpose. EVERYTHING is player-created.
