Maybe you're thrilled about trying your hand at creating items. Do you have an idea for a great game, but no place - or way - to design it? Are you fascinated by the concept of in-browser-only (not browser/spawn another app like <em><a href="http://www.fusionfall.com">FusionFall</a></em> or <a href="http://www.freerealms.com"><em>Free Realms</em></a>) games. Or maybe you're just the type of person who loves to check out new and interesting things created by other people. If any of the above sounds interesting to you then you'll likely want to pop over to the <a href="http://www.metaplace.com/"><em>MetaPlace</em></a> site and check out their shiny new open beta test! <br /><br /><em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/MetaPlace/">MetaPlace</a></em>, designed to be a place full of infinite possibility where players can meet, game together, and socialize, has been in closed beta for quite some time. We're curious to see how this world evolves, considering <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/RaphKoster/">Raph Koster</a>'s view on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/18/picking-apart-the-metaplace-bill-of-rights/">avatar rights to their own created property</a> versus other virtual world platforms like <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/LindenLab/">Linden Lab</a>'s <a href="http://www.secondlife.com"><em>Second Life</em></a>. Between that and the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/05/raph-koster-on-the-metaplace-idea/">basic concept for <em>MetaPlace</em></a>, we suspect virtual world and MMO afficinados alike will be keeping an eye on this.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/17/metaplace-open-beta-is-on/">MetaPlace open beta is on</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 17 May 2009 20:00:00 EST.
