OBA: Open Beta, Second Life is Public

I'm not even sure how to place this game it's so out there but it's got a interesting concept along with people with deep pockets backing it. If Sims Online was not your cup of tea this may be different. I can say one thing though these guys got it right the first time letting you generate your character the way you want. I couldnt find any 2 that looked alike!
