If SL Disappeared Tomorrow, Where Would You Go?

Pronouncements of SL's imminent demise have been prevalent ever since SL opened its virtual doors, and I'm not here to address them. They will always be there. However, having considered it, I had to ask myself: If SL imploded tomorrow, wherever would I go, Rhett? Whatever would I do?

Sadly, I'd probably spend more time in WoW. I might finally try out Kaneva, or There.com, or even Active Worlds, though none of those will let me be a werewolf, to my understanding. And even if I could, I'd miss all my SL friends! Likely within 24 hours of implosion, a new community survivor site would be set up, letting us all keep track of one another, and the splintering would begin. Aww, I'm getting all sad just thinking about it! Where would you go if SL disappeared forever?

1. As a Mac user, I have almost no choices, so I'll beg for a copy of the server code and help people set up their own grid.

2. EVE-Online

I'm there most times I'm not in SL, to be honest. It's the closest to SL that an MMO has ever been.

3. I'm a Mac user also, so there's not a good solution. Before SL, I did a lot of noodling around in Photoshop just for kicks (and for CafePress products.) So I might go back to doing that.

4. opensimulator.org and osgrid.org ;)

5. hasn't there been another "just asking" blog post in the past about this exact same thing?

6. I've thought about it at times too, especially when an update seems to wreck havoc on my laptop. Most of my closest friends are connected via Twitter or at the very least, an outside IM like Yahoo or AIM.
I wonder if I'd be able to just go back to IM and chat while doing other things with my time...*gulps*
(for the record, I don't foresee SL going anywhere anytime soon)

7. I use Linux, so yes... off to grab the OpenServer code I'd go!
