Association of Virtual Worlds publishes Blue Book

Filed under: MMO industry, News items, Virtual worlds

The Blue Book: A Consumer Guide to Virtual Worlds is a 41 page, freely downloadable booklet that neatly summarizes virtual worlds and MMOs with a simple lookup guide that summarizes each world or game with a paragraph, and handy codes so you can tell types and age-groups at a glance.

Over 250 virtual worlds are listed, alphabetically, with links to their web-sites, and there's some useful general online tips and a guide to some basic jargon for those new to virtual worlds and MMOGs.

'This book was designed to open up the metaverse and show you the exciting possibilities just a click away on your own computer,' adds Dave Elchoness, Executive Director. 'You'll find a wide variety of virtual spaces, environments, and playgrounds from the very sophisticated, to the quick and simple, just waiting for you to explore.'

Broaden your horizons. There's more out there than you might think.
