Second LIfe v. EA-Land
The Sims Online is being relaunched as EA-Land, and this time its going to be free (via TechCrunch)! Hopefully EA-Land (a name which already seems to be univerally hated) will bring some much neeeded competition to the virtual world sector. Despite all the fun that some sections fo society seem to have in Second Life, I have found it a curiousity rather than a real interest, and rarely visit.
Unfortunatley, despite gaining my initial interest, EA-Land is experiancing problems with new sign-ups at the moment. However, the promise of free land, albeit small land, will probably see me try again. Will this see Second Life offer a small basic plot for free, with more extensive islands costing?

Second Life will probably not change their policy. During its existence SL have tried different ways of providing land to its residents and I believe that in the early years they gave free land. The latest thing was providing cheap land for first time land owners, but First Land program ended about a year ago. Currently you can own 512 sqm of virtual land without any extra cost (no monthly fees) and you can buy that 512 sqm for about L$ 5000, which equals about US$ 20.
