OGN Second Life Interview

Online Gaming Network has posted an interview with the developer of Second Life, an upcoming MMOG in the spirit of The Sims, but with a 3D engine and avoidance of the traditional leveling treadmill. A few very interesting concepts are mentioned in the interview. Here's a snippet:

10. Does Second Life have any type of guild or clan system?

Yes, Second Life already has an eclectic array of active groups who share resources, properties and missions. Similar to other aspects of Second Life, forming groups is a largely organic, user-initiated activity. Some might choose to build and run a business like a coffee house, and others defend a military fortress.

*ears perk up* Coffee house? There's also mention of a special membership rate if you sign up before June 23 at the official [B]Second Life website[/b].
