In 1992, Neal Stephenson's path-breaking novel, Snow Crash, introduced the mind-blowing concept of a virtual 3D universe over the internet, called Metaverse. Since then, this premise, which has appealed to fans of cyberpunk, since its inception, has inspired a whole host of books, movies, and of course, simulations, that have evolved into contemporary MMORPGs, of which, Second Life is one of the most popular one. Residents of this virtual world don the roles of "avatars", ranging from human to inanimate objects. Players, like their online avatars, can interact with others using IM or voice, travel within the world, build relationships, exchange virtual currency, and participate in community activities. However, for red-blooded gamers, one alternate universe is just not enough, and that's why, we present an exclusive list of MMORPGs similar to Second Life. The marvels of modern technology and the infinite potential of human imagination make virtual, 3D MMORPGs, like Second Life, seem like an idyllic parallel universe. What's more, physical distance is no longer a limitation when everyone is logged into the same internet. If you think about it, the potential of such portals to connect to the masses, irrespective of location, is truly immense. From news broadcasts to consulting a doctor or even obtaining technical support, you name it, it can be experienced better in a 3D virtual environment. If not for anything else but at least to escape from daily stress, an alternate reality is always appealing. However, one should be mature enough to separate one's actual life from its virtual representation, so as to not get carried away and lose track of reality.
