Second Life Planet Calypso - Planet Calypso : The Real Money MMORPG Kaneva. Databases of Knowledge: Virtual Worlds List, Library – Virtual Worlds Research Project An ongoing subproject here at the Virtual Worlds Research Project is to create depositories of information regarding virtual worlds. The goal of these depositories is to create central locations for information that can help with research and knowledge about virtual worlds and related technologies. Thus, we hope you feel free to peruse them, use them, and comment on them to improve them. Also, please feel free to invite others to participate in these depositories. The first depository is a library database collecting articles from any academic field that reference research of or assist in researching virtual worlds. This database is being constructed using the online library and citation service, Mendeley. The second depository is a Google Document collecting information on all virtual worlds (from games to hybrids to socials) that are currently active or have been deactivated in the past. With both depositories, we are always looking for more to be added.
