At the moment, Second Life is by far the leader of the pack and it'd take any other competitor years to catch up.. Hi Sardionerak ,

I think Second Life has loads of potential…

Sure, the current releases could do with shaping and improvement..

I think you most likely haven’t heard that the frontend is becoming open-source, and that within a year, the backend will also become open-source…

Also , there will be improved physics engines used in the future I’m told, with better programming structures, which will open SL up with loads more potential.

That is, if any of the competitors don’t get there first… At the moment, Second Life is by far the leader of the pack and it’d take any other competitor years to catch up..
