Second Life MMOG Launches · Slashdot Mirror

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing out a SFGate.com article about the official launch of MMO title Second Life, a "rapidly growing and constantly changing 3D online society, shaped entirely by its residents", which has its public unveiling today. We covered this interesting user-shaped virtual world a few weeks back, and it's now open for business, with a free Windows client download and monthly subscription fees. It's also one of the few MMO titles to have a DMCA complaints page for infringing user-created content, where complainants must fill out a form "identify[ing] in detail the location of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon. For example 'The copyrighted work I am referring to is located on the map area labeled 'Freelon, 104,30,56'.'"

"Free Trial" requires credit card details by AndrewHowe · 2003-06-23 21:19 · Score: 0, Troll

I went to sign up for the free trial, but they wanted me to choose a payment schedule and enter my credit card details. Er, no.
Fuck them. Fuck them up their stupid asses.
