Swan- World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is an online game in which you can play as many different types of characters and you can free-rome anywhere you want. in the beginning of the game, you choose who you want to be, like if you want to be a human, dwarf, night-elf, etc. Then you can choose what type of person you want to be, like if you want to be a warrior, hunter, a wizard or something.

When you enter the world, you start off like everyone else. In the middle of nowhere. In this game you must find your way around, complete different quest, gain experience points, and get to a high level of ranking. The higher your level is, the more people want to know you, but in a way they also fear you a small bit.

In World of Warcraft, there are many different strange creatures that you can fight.

But, when you are not able to defeat your enemies, you then die and become a spirit. You then must float back to your body to a spot near where you have died.

Small Worlds

Small worlds is about the simplest virtual worlds to sign up. In small worlds you can have relationships and create your own house. If you want to be on the VIP list and be able to buy gold, then you have to pay a curtain amount for each month.

Imvu is one of my virtual worlds I am testing. I have been trying all week to play the virtual world, but I have not been able to get on. It won't let me play,it goes right back to the home page. You can become VIP but you must pay to get it. There are many ways to get free credits.

The wonderful world of Fantage

Fantage

Fantage is a fun, colorful virtual world. This is very kid friendly and age appropriate for young kids.It is very easy to access and to play. Kids of all ages can play plus even teenagers because they have a 13 and older chat. Adding friends is very easy all you have to do is click on the friend you wish to add and click the plus button. To earn stars, you go to the world map to pick out the game for you and you play games which earns you stars. With the stars, you can buy furniture, clothes, hair styles, and many more. If you have problems with anything there is always someone around to help you and there are tutorials.
There is a downside to Fantage because when you purchase items many are marked as Premium Members can only buy these items. To become a Premium Member, you have to purchase an account.

I tried to test other virtual worlds like Kaneva but there was a problem every time I tried to log in and it was very hard to move around. It always said an administrator would be contacted but it looked like nothing changed and i did not receive and email.
