<p>Arcadia: I accept your challenge! Assuming all of the land is not mainland, you'd be looking at a cost of $120.73 billion dollars a month to rent as much land in SL as you would in MC. I'm reasonably sure that the startup costs would eat you alive though ;)</p>
<p>Although they both provide a fantastic interactive experience, comparing SL and MC is like comparing Legos to dirt and sticks in a sandbox. Each has their own particular appeal, and both are completely dissimilar. <br />
Minecraft is fun, but it is a game, not a tool. Yes, I have seen Youtube videos of running processors, but the practicality and usefulness outside of a game setting is almost zero.<br />
Second Life and OpenSim on the other hand are complete software packages for design, programming, and communication. I have a Sim-on-a-stick that I use for real life work(store layout and training). <br />
I'm glad to have both, and couldn't trade one for the other.<br />

<p>Estates, hell. Give us planets.</p>
<p>Optimize data storage and traffic distribution until performance screams, and tax commercial transactions for revenue (maybe build up a permanent operations trust fund). Actively build bridges to the broader Internet so it's painless to step into the world from an embedded window in a web page. Enable and assist creators until they can achieve levels of quality and performance as good as or better than leading MMOs.</p>
<p>We have the technology. We can make virtuality better than it was before; better, cheaper, faster.</p>Metacam Oh commented on 'Minecraft Fan Recreates His Minecraft Server in Second Life'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0167638672f5970b2012-03-07T18:17:16Z2012-03-07T18:17:16ZMetacam Ohhttp://metaversetribune.comMinecraft is amazing, with a modding engine coming soon.

It ends up being finite only because the 32-bit world coordinates end up overflowing. The world size is about the surface area of Neptune.</p>qarl commented on 'Minecraft Fan Recreates His Minecraft Server in Second Life'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01630290a95d970d2012-03-07T15:35:55Z2012-03-07T15:35:55Zqarlhttp://www.qarl.com/doesn't opensim have a super simple way to run a local server? that would give you about eight times the...<p>doesn't opensim have a super simple way to run a local server? that would give you about eight times the surface area of the planet earth for a one time payment of $0.</p>Arcadia Codesmith commented on 'Minecraft Fan Recreates His Minecraft Server in Second Life'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef016302904d28970d2012-03-07T14:56:40Z2012-03-07T14:56:40ZArcadia CodesmithMinecraft gives you about seven times the surface area of the planet Earth to build on for a one-time payment...<p>Minecraft gives you about seven times the surface area of the planet Earth to build on for a one-time payment of... what is it now? $15?</p>
<p>Homework for the terminally geeky: figure out what the monthly tier would be for Second Life sims with a total area seven times the surface of Earth. I'd do it, but I hate exponential notation.</p>
