anyone try moove.com?

http://www.moove.com/

its a 3d chatroom thingie that is connected tru a community website, you run your "room" on your own computer, you can have as many as you please, allows avatars and objects to be made out of real 3d meshes, and supports a real OO scripting language

just wondering before i spend alot of time fussing with it

Moove has been around for a while. I tried it about 2 years back and never really got into it. Graphics don't look too bad, but the camera handling is a pain in the nether regions. There is no world, just rooms. Everyone gets a free apartment, but with a free account one can only invite other people, not visit others. Has some building tools and some nice ideas like a built-in animation / facial expression designer.
The idea behind it seems to be socializing and cybersex. Avatars have genitals (if adult content is enabled, which needs an age check). Didn't get to try the scripting language or to create anything else than some own animations, because I was bored too soon. In no way comparable to SL.

The part I hated about moove.com or rose as some call it, is that everything has to be d/l to see. Other peoples avatars have to be d/l and installed before seeing them correctly. If you don't they remain a red boxed avatar. Clothes, furnishings, toys, everything in that program is a d/l. There are many sites that offer extras that maybe you can look around and see if it's for you. The avatars can hug "better" than in second life. That part is pretty nice. Know too, that there is a "free side" with very limited access. To get full access to all users, you will need to pay. Hope it helps! I left there to come here if that says anything.

yea i looked at it some more and im not diggin it, the level of disconectivity is tedious the website is even less usefull than SL's and theres only a windows client, which if i were to run a 24/7 server means id either have to redo my current home server or have yet another box sitting around sucking power

just saw it on a random ask.com query and was wondering

When I played it was basically free. And the rooms weren't 3d they were 2d. The chat community pretty much I found annoying. Also if you create unique avatar no one else will be able to see it because they only can see what they also have. I used it when I had 386 and 6 gb hard drive pre SL beta. Wonder if the moove.com is still calling there world program Roomancer?

they are

I don't think they allow business like they do here but I might be wrong.

I tried it a while ago because it didnt require as much hardware as SL does, but it (at least to me) is nowhere near the level SL is. Having to install everything (clothes, furni, avatars) to your hard drive adds up over time and as someone else said, the cameras are just a pain to use.

Overall its a simple version of SL with not near as many features

Here is a small list of the virtual worlds out there.
