I nominate w3b with a secondary nomination of Terminus. Sentimentally, I like Terminus better because it served as the kernel of the new empire. But w3b is more cutesy technical. Did I just call my entry "cutesy technical?"

I am fond of "Lathe of Heaven"--Ursula LeGuin's novel. Of course, there could be an influx of machinists who are religious zealots--not so good.

Other possibilities: "Deus Ex," "Elementum," or "Animus"

(Cid, I propose "Innieverse"

)
(Just based on the forums? "Schadenfreude"

)
(Just based on my experience? "AFK"

)

Hmm, can't come up with anything less lame than "3Dream" (3D+stream) off the top of my head (guess that's why I'm not in marketing).

Surely a "next version" of Second Life that will require renaming will be when the technology has matured enough to be released as a something akin to a video codec/player.

Metaverse.com is still free, as is secondevie.com (french), and zweitesleben.com (german).

The UK version, secondlife.com is already taken, at least LL registered that one

Archipelago.

Pol's are good.

"Terminus" is what Atlanta was called at first, and will be ever thus in my mind.

I always thought "Second Life" was already the perfect name.

But if I had to vote for some new name, I absolutely love Cadroe's.

From: Snowcrash Hoffman

Yes but it has to be somewhat generic like Internet, so in that regard Metaverse fits perfectly. It describes such a world, not necessarily the same one but the principle, like the Internet which evolved so much from its original idea.'

Well not having read the book that "metaverse" comes from I dont have such an attachment to it.

I dont like it from a purely logical standpoint in that it does not actually describe the place very well. "Metaverse" implies a collection of universes, or an existence after the universe is over, neither of which SecondLife and other online games/worlds are; and something they can never actually be.

It's like saying "futuristic superstupendous transport anything vehicle" instead of "new car."

How about the subverse?
or "Subversia"?
