Second Life and Virtual Worlds
Seeing Daniel Voyager’s post and pictures of the world map I looked to see if I could see the regions. Then was surprised when I could TP in. See my previous post: Second Life BREAKING: Horizons.
Well… what a surprise… Yes, this is in Second Life. I’ve been there. Putting my video together now.
