Yes we study the metaverse too! My students are fascinated, and I suspect that they are on SL more than they are studying for class.

I assume you know the Daedalus Project ?
http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/ Years ago while still on Anarchy Online, I discovered this project doing own research ![]() Actually a nice accumulation of empirical data, of special interest to me, since it offers by now a good view over the *historical* development of the different games/microcultures as well as the genre/subculture as a whole. |

Your assumption is not correct, I am not familiar with this project. I participate in SL for pleasure not research. I am a feminist qualitative sociologist and my academic interest are in family, gender and race studies. However this whole Daedalus Project is alluring. A great site, I am sure I will be digesting it this evening. Thanks for the link! _____________________
