My Top Five Second Life Creators

While the Lindens have made a few things, and some builds were made by the Moles, most of what we see in Second Life was created by other residents much like us. From the avatars that make up "us", to the clothing we wear, to our virtual homes and their furniture, the things around our Second Lives were planned and constructed by various builders. Some of us though have people we go back to again and again for particular items. In his article for today, Cyfir (Cyfiremmerich Resident) writes about five of his favorite builders. While two are people he personally knows, others he feels just made great products.

Gaming News: Steam Suddenly Ending Modder Payment System, WoW Numbers Drop, A Cheater's Public End

There's been some interesting gaming news lately. The latest numbers of World of Warcraft are out.
