Second Life Cool Places

The first place I went to is a world called KJ Racing Club where you can get into many different vehicles and race. I rode on bumper cars and I got into a car where you get a bird's eye view of the entire raceway and race with other players in that fashion. Unfortunately, no one else was there at the time so I could not really race but I went around the track. I like this place because it contains elements that are related to my racing virtual world concept and maybe I could use this place as an experiement if I chose to use that concept.

The second place I went to is a world that is built to imitate the World of Warcraft called the World of Witchcraft. It is meant to be a role playing world where people look like characters from the World of Warcraft and the buildings are modeled after them as well. I thought this was interesting because it shows that players can certainly build their own dungeons in a virtual world when given enough time.

The last place I discovered is a world modeled after the science fiction Dune book series. I liked this world because not only does it give you free objects to easily roleplay as a character or group from the book, but you can ride an air vehicile called the ornithopter that comes from the book. It comes with a HUD to attach to your screen as well. The buildings are very detailed and each time you step across a landmark, a short narration pops up in the chat.
