Raph Koster's new community building social MMO
metaplace went Open Beta yesterday. You could call it a 2d Second Life that runs in your browser or a Habbo Hotel with more freedom and customizability. There aren't that many subscribers yet, so you get to hang out with the devs listening to live streaming concerts. 8-)
The build tools are really user friendly. If you've played the Sims or Transport Tycoon deluxe (it does terrain deformation), you'll feel right at home. You can import images from the web, render isometric sprites from Google warehouse models or upload images from your hard drive. You get your own world of a limited size to build in for free, unlike SL.
If anyone joins up, feel free to add peter_devore as a friend, that's me. I would upload some pictures if photobucket wasn't such a dick. I've created a little Penny Arcade place
here, maybe you'll catch me on there tomorrow.

This is a serious question.
You shouldn't tell him or any of his kind about this thing.
Those people basically ruin every online environment ever.
Haven't figured out how to add you as a friend, Peter.
But I'm going through the tutorial and there's a video of stuff you can do with it and one of the things is "fight zombie hordes"
Hmmmmmmmmm
The funky lounge music Dutch guy has stopped playing, now Raph is setting up a DJ stage for an other act. Some nice music was played and now the act is over.
