It's SL + some :p

It's obviously not 1:1, I'm not saying that at all. It is a social MMO just like SL was designed to be in a 3D space. They've taken the idea and tweaked it / added their ideas, on top of the gaming integration.

Like I said, not getting into a huge debate about it, we've already gone over it a million times lol. Just wait to see what the wider gaming audience thinks when it's released!

I guarantee you'll be hearing a lot of "The Sims" & "Second Life" coments though and its obvious why.

Yeah that's been happening since day 1, but I thought most of us knew better :p

We know the differences, what goes into the service, how it operates, some of us, yourself included, even knowledge about all the networking and interaction with things like game launching/clan clubs, etc.

So I'd expect people who look at it graphically to be saying Sims/SL, but quite frankly it's not a clone when looked at in depth, just shares similarities - Unavoidable similarties, how else can you build a 3D world without avatars/character integration and personalization?

Would be a pretty bland world without all of them. Bland for those interested, obviously there's the dislikers who'll just say it's bland regardless of what it offers.

Yeah I know, I just had to make a post to get 1001 posts.

Hopefully it is something better than SL, even tho the principles are the same.

As long as the meeting up and starting game sessions is there, then it could be a good way to get some gaming in, im not sure if the game session thing or starting like Motorstorm was there yet?

I'll bring the bubble machine \m/

**Edit 3pm**

Still progressing nicely, now on the testing stage. No eta still as I wouldnt want to guess how long it will take for each region to verify its elements are working but we're getting there.

**Edit 3:15pm**

Not there yet, the testing is still going on, but I wanted to mention a couple of other things that need clarification.

The Far Cry2 and Uncharted spaces will not be available in our region today as the localisation and testing phase is not yet complete. They will follow on later.

Additonally the Diesel and Ligne Roset content will be added next week at the same time as the Red Bull Air Race.

So that basically sucks

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
