The Metaverse is Coming.

David Wong, of PointlessWasteOfTime.com, has written an article entitled "A World of Warcraft World." Although accused of being primarily a joke article, it is actually pretty insightful, like much of Wong's work.

This article lays out (with a good dose of humor) how a metaverse, or virtual on-line universe, might evolve out of MMORPGs. Definitely worth a read.
