Therefore, it was understandable to me to see a lot of the questions at the meeting asking what this means – as one person seemed to be asking, will Meta7 start going as crazy as Second Life? Of course not, but that doesn’t mean you can’t break the laws of your country, for instance. It is likely that one of the motivations cause K-Grid citizens to be refugees of SL is for these kinds of reasons. Take a look through the history of my blog as my life as Pais Kidd (or the blogs of many of my friends), and you will see a lot of that is having to deal with the ignorance and intolerance that comes from people’s reactions to my having a kid avatar. We always have to see the lawyer-speak with any software or service we use, and MMR wouldn’t be able to stay in business long in today’s litigious world without having a lawyer and running the issues through that filter. The Fine Print: As in Term of Service (TOS). I’ve got a test version and it has some snazzy features. They are also working on their own client, based on the Emerald one we’ve been playing with. The other big change will be the ability to buy and sell in Meta7 with M$, just as we do with L$ in Second Life. To that end, a lot of investment of time and resources have been put into scaling up to new servers and innovations to the software to do just that. The MMR priorities are stability and performance. The Tech: Of course, it is one thing to have another virtual world that is just as good as Second Life, but what about new innovations like better meshes for avatars, better physics, scripting? Those things are in the works.“K-Grid” was a good name, but it was already legally spoken for, so the new MMR trademarked name for their virtual world will be Meta7. So they can operate a legitimate business called Magne Metaverse Research (MMR).
