If you're still not convinced enough to try out Ever, Jane, the Jane Austen-themed MMO from Linden Lab veteran Judy Tyrer, Kotaku's Cecilia D'Anastasio has an in-depth (dare I say "embedded virtual journalist") profile up now. Don't forget that Ever, Jane players can get a special-to-NWN 100 Pounds Sterling Regency bonus if they post their username in this post.
Meantime, read how Ms. D'Anastasio captures the flavor of the gameplay:
When I entered the house’s parlor, five equally dapper women and men stood around doing something I hadn’t witnessed so openly in an MMO for a while: Writing.
“My goodness!” a woman said. “I dare not try to re-pronounce your name even after hearing Mrs. Hatch announce you!” Italians, it seems, were not entirely common in Regency England.
I hit the curtsy button and introduced myself.
A man spoke up: “I’m pleased to be among you, ladies. May I introduce myself for lack of a connection among you?” Polite small talk, all rendered in perfect Austen style (with snark to boot), filled the small room.
Much more here. I have to think Second Life's many roleplayer communities -- say, the Louis the XIV roleplayers --will be interested.
